Antoine Pitrou bb445a1f22 Issue #5677: Explicitly forbid write operations on read-only file objects,
and read operations on write-only file objects.  On Windows, the system C
library would return a bogus result; on Solaris, it was possible to crash
the interpreter.  Patch by Stefan Krah.

Benjamin Peterson 565d78586b normalize exceptions passed to the __exit__ method #7853
In Python 2.x, exceptions in finally blocks are not normalized.  Since with
statements are implemented using finally blocks, ceval.c had to be tweaked to
distinguish between with finally blocks and normal ones.

A test for the finalization of generators containing with statements was also
added.

Brett Cannon 3ffa43db48 The silencing of DeprecationWarning was not taking -3 into consideration. Since

Brett Cannon 6fdd3dcb6a DeprecationWarning is now silent by default.
This was originally suggested by Guido, discussed on the stdlib-sig mailing
list, and given the OK by Guido directly to me. What this change essentially
means is that Python has taken a policy of silencing warnings that are only
of interest to developers by default. This should prevent users from seeing
warnings which are triggered by an application being run against a new
interpreter before the app developer has a chance to update their code.

Closes issue #7319. Thanks to Antoine Pitrou, Ezio Melotti, and Brian Curtin
for helping with the issue.

Ronald Oussoren 92919a66d2 Issue #6834: replace the implementation for the 'python' and 'pythonw' executables on OSX.
The previous implementation used execv(2) to run the real interpreter, which means that
you cannot use the arch(1) tool to select the architecture you want to use for a
universal build because that only affects the python/pythonw wrapper and not the actual
interpreter.

The new version uses posix_spawnv with a number of OSX-specific options that ensure that
the real interpreter is started using the same CPU architecture as the wrapper, and that
means that 'arch -ppc python' now actually works.

I've also changed the way that the wrapper looks for the framework: it is now linked to
the framework rather than hardcoding the framework path. This should make it easier to
provide pythonw support in tools like virtualenv.

R. David Murray 77e48ba993 Issue #7376: When called with no arguments doctest was running a

this self-test was failing.  The test is run (and passes) during normal
regression testing.  So instead of running the failing self-test this
patch makes doctest emit a usage message.  This is better behavior anyway
since passing in arguments is the real reason to run doctest as a command.

Lars Gustäbel 92ca7561bb Issue #7357: No longer suppress fatal extraction errors by
default.

TarFile's errorlevel argument controls how errors are
handled that occur during extraction. There are three
possible levels 0, 1 and 2. If errorlevel is set to 1 or 2
fatal errors (e.g. a full filesystem) are raised as
exceptions. If it is set to 0, which is the default value,
extraction errors are suppressed, and error messages are
written to the debug log instead. But, if the debug log is
not activated, which is the default as well, all these
errors go unnoticed.

The original intention was to imitate GNU tar which tries
to extract as many members as possible instead of stopping
on the first error. It turns out that this is no good
default behaviour for a tar library. This patch simply
changes the default value for the errorlevel argument from
0 to 1, so that fatal extraction errors are raised as
EnvironmentError exceptions.

Lars Gustäbel dd866d57af Issue #6123: Fix opening empty archives and files.
(Note that an empty archive is not the same as an empty file. An
empty archive contains no members and is correctly terminated with an
EOF block full of zeros. An empty file contains no data at all.)

The problem was that although tarfile was able to create empty
archives, it failed to open them raising a ReadError. On the other
hand, tarfile opened empty files without error in most read modes and
presented them as empty archives. (However, some modes still raised
errors: "r|gz" raised ReadError, but "r:gz" worked, "r:bz2" even
raised EOFError.)

In order to get a more fine-grained control over the various internal
error conditions I now split up the HeaderError exception into a
number of meaningful sub-exceptions. This makes it easier in the
TarFile.next() method to react to the different conditions in the
correct way.

The visible change in its behaviour now is that tarfile will open
empty archives correctly and raise ReadError consistently for empty
files.

Ronald Oussoren 315cd0c739 Fix for issue #7085
On MacOSX 10.6 the CoreFoundation framework must be initialized on the main
thread, the constructor function in that framework will cause an SIGABRT when
it is called on any other thread.

Because a number of extension link (indirectly) to CoreFoundation and the
Python core itself didn't the interpreter crashed when importing some
extensions, such as _locale, on a secondary thread.

This fix ensures that Python is linked to CoreFoundation on OSX, which results
in the CoreFoundation constructor being called when Python is loaded. This
does not require code changes.
