platforms which have dup(2). The makefile() method is built directly on top
of the socket without duplicating the file descriptor, allowing timeouts to
work properly. Includes a new test case (urllibnet) which requires the
network resource.
Closes bug 707074.
pack_float, pack_double, save_float: All the routines for creating
IEEE-format packed representations of floats and doubles simply ignored
that rounding can (in rare cases) propagate out of a long string of
1 bits. At worst, the end-off carry can (by mistake) interfere with
the exponent value, and then unpacking yields a result wrong by a factor
of 2. In less severe cases, it can end up losing more low-order bits
than intended, or fail to catch overflow *caused* by rounding.
Bugfix candidate, but I already backported this to 2.2.
In 2.3, this code remains in severe need of refactoring.
variables to store internal data. As a result, any atempts to use the
unicode system with multiple active interpreters, or successive
interpreter executions, would fail.
Now that information is stored into members of the PyInterpreterState
structure.
- Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir()
will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode
argument.
- And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII.
- Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the
default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means
os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding
can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing
the error and fall back to a byte string.)
- Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex.
- Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation.
This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not
using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are
supposed to.
[ 555817 ] Flawed fcntl.ioctl implementation.
with my patch that allows for an array to be mutated when passed
as the buffer argument to ioctl() (details complicated by
backwards compatibility considerations -- read the docs!).
Allow mixed-type __eq__ and __ne__ for Set objects. This is messier than
I'd like because Set *also* implements __cmp__. I know of one glitch now:
cmp(s, t) returns 0 now when s and t are both Sets and s == t, despite
that Set.__cmp__ unconditionally raises TypeError (and by intent). The
rub is that __eq__ gets tried first, and the x.__eq__(y) True result
convinces Python that cmp(x, y) is 0 without even calling Set.__cmp__.
rarely needed, but can sometimes be useful to release objects
referenced by the traceback held in sys.exc_info()[2]. (SF patch
#693195.) Thanks to Kevin Jacobs!
test_linuxaudiodev.py) are no longer run by default. This is
because they don't always work, depending on your hardware and
software. To run these tests, you must use an invocation like
./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -u audio test_ossaudiodev
with an indented code block but no newline would raise SyntaxError.
This would have been a four-line change in parsetok.c... Except
codeop.py depends on this behavior, so a compilation flag had to be
invented that causes the tokenizer to revert to the old behavior;
this required extra changes to 2 .h files, 2 .c files, and 2 .py
files. (Fixes SF bug #501622.)
This changes the default __new__ to refuse arguments iff tp_init is the
default __init__ implementation -- thus making it a TypeError when you
try to pass arguments to a constructor if the class doesn't override at
least __init__ or __new__.
mostly from SF patch #683257, but I had to change unlock_import() to
return an error value to avoid fatal error.
Should this be backported? The patch requested this, but it's a new
feature.
folded; this will change in Python 2.4. On a 32-bit machine, this
happens for 0x80000000 through 0xffffffff, and for octal constants in
the same value range. No warning is issued if an explicit base is
given, *or* if the string contains a sign (since in those cases no
sign folding ever happens).
"Unsigned" (i.e., positive-looking, but really negative) hex/oct
constants with a leading minus sign are once again properly negated.
The micro-optimization for negated numeric constants did the wrong
thing for such hex/oct constants. The patch avoids the optimization
for all hex/oct constants.
This needs to be backported to Python 2.2!
__ne__ no longer complain if they don't know how to compare to the other
thing. If no meaningful way to compare is known, saying "not equal" is
sensible. This allows things like
if adatetime in some_sequence:
and
somedict[adatetime] = whatever
to work as expected even if some_sequence contains non-datetime objects,
or somedict non-datetime keys, because they only call __eq__.
It still complains (raises TypeError) for mixed-type comparisons in
contexts that require a total ordering, such as list.sort(), use as a
key in a BTree-based data structure, and cmp().
extension implemented flush() was fixed. Scott also rewrite the
zlib test suite using the unittest module. (SF bug #640230 and
patch #678531.)
Backport candidate I think.
anymore either, so don't. This also allows to get rid of obscure code
making __getnewargs__ identical to __getstate__ (hmm ... hope there
wasn't more to this than I realize!).
(pickling no longer needs them, and immutable objects shouldn't have
visible __setstate__() methods regardless). Rearranged the code to
put the internal setstate functions in the constructor sections.
Repaired the timedelta reduce() method, which was still producing
stuff that required a public timedelta.__setstate__() when unpickling.
compare against "the other" argument, we raise TypeError,
in order to prevent comparison from falling back to the
default (and worse than useless, in this case) comparison
by object address.
That's fine so far as it goes, but leaves no way for
another date/datetime object to make itself comparable
to our objects. For example, it leaves Marc-Andre no way
to teach mxDateTime dates how to compare against Python
dates.
Discussion on Python-Dev raised a number of impractical
ideas, and the simple one implemented here: when we don't
know how to compare against "the other" argument, we raise
TypeError *unless* the other object has a timetuple attr.
In that case, we return NotImplemented instead, and Python
will give the other object a shot at handling the
comparison then.
Note that comparisons of time and timedelta objects still
suffer the original problem, though.
This gives much the same treatment to datetime.fromtimestamp(stamp, tz) as
the last batch of checkins gave to datetime.now(tz): do "the obvious"
thing with the tz argument instead of a senseless thing.
tzinfo.fromutc() method. The C code doesn't implement any of this
yet (well, not the C code on the machine I'm using now), nor does
the test suite reflect it. The Python datetime.py implementation and
test suite in the sandbox do match these doc changes. The C
implementation probably won't catch up before Thursday (Wednesday is
a scheduled "black hole" day this week <0.4 wink>).
is not supported on sets. (Unfortunately, sorting a list of sets may
still return random results because it uses < exclusively, but for
sets that inly implements a partial ordering. Oh well.)
into time. This is little more than *exporting* the datetimetz object
under the name "datetime", and similarly for timetz. A good implementation
of this change requires more work, but this is fully functional if you
don't stare too hard at the internals (e.g., right now a type named
"datetime" shows up as a base class of the type named "datetime"). The
docs also need extensive revision, not part of this checkin.
