the test set as it only tested with a zip archive in the current directory,
but it doesn't work at all for packages when the zip archive was specified
as an absolute path. It's a real embarrassing bug: a strchr call should
have been strrchr; fever apparently implies dyslexia.
Second stupid bug: the zipimport test failed with a name error
__importer__ (which I had renamed to __loader__ everywhere but here).
I would've sworn I ran the test after that change but that can't be true.
What I don't understand that noone reported a failing test_zipimport.py
before the release of 2.3a1.
suggestion from Guido, along with a formal correctness proof of the
trickiest bit. The intricacy of the proof reveals how delicate this
is, but also how robust the conclusion: correctness doesn't rely on
dst() returning +- one hour (not all real time zones do!), it only
relies on:
1. That dst() returns a (any) non-zero value if and only if daylight
time is in effect.
and
2. That the tzinfo subclass implements a consistent notion of time zone.
The meaning of "consistent" was a hidden assumption, which is now an
explicit requirement in the docs. Alas, it's an unverifiable (by the
datetime implementation) requirement, but so it goes.
compiler flags which are necessary to get a clean compile. The former is
for user-specified optimizer, debug, trace fiddling. See patch 640843.
Add /sw/lib and /sw/include to setup.py search paths on Darwin to take
advantage of fink goodies.
Add scriptsinstall target to Makefile to install certain scripts from
Tools/scripts directory.
find a more elegant algorithm (OTOH, the hairy new implementation allows
user-written tzinfo classes to be elegant, so it's a big win even if
astimezone() remains hairy).
Darn! I've only got 10 minutes left to get falling-down drunk! I suppose
I'll have to smoke crack instead now.
understood now: it can't work. Added comments explaining why (it's "the
usual"-- unrepresentable hours in local time --but in a slightly different
guise).
The attached patch enables Cygwin Python to
build cleanly against the latest Cygwin Tcl/Tk
which is based on Tcl/Tk 8.3. It also prevents
building against the real X headers, if installed.
Remove broken code in visitDict(). I assume the code was trying to
add set lineno events for each line of a dict constructor, but I think
it was using the wrong object (node instead of k or v).
A variety of changes from Michael Hudson to get the compiler working
with 2.3. The primary change is the handling of SET_LINENO:
# The set_lineno() function and the explicit emit() calls for
# SET_LINENO below are only used to generate the line number table.
# As of Python 2.3, the interpreter does not have a SET_LINENO
# instruction. pyassem treats SET_LINENO opcodes as a special case.
A few other small changes:
- Remove unused code from pycodegen and pyassem.
- Fix error handling in parsermodule. When PyParser_SimplerParseString()
fails, it sets an exception with detailed info. The parsermodule
was clobbering that exception and replacing it was a generic
"could not parse string" exception. Keep the original exception.
