Georg Brandl 861320d5a7 Add versionadded tags missing in r59254. Do NOT merge to Py3k. 2007-12-01 13:23:04 +00:00
Christian Heimes dfdfaab1c5 Feature #1534

Christian Heimes 3628187b66 Fix for feature request #1528 Add os.fchmod
Georg Brandl has added fchmod() and fchown(). I've contributed lchown but I'm not able to test it on Linux. However it should be available on Mac and some other flavors of Unix.
I've made a quick test of fchmod() and fchown() on my system. They are working as expected.

Gregory P. Smith e9fef694b4 Change socket.error to inherit from IOError rather than being a stand
alone class.  This addresses the primary concern in

 http://bugs.python.org/issue1706815

python-dev discussion here:

 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-July/073749.html

I chose IOError rather than EnvironmentError as the base class since
socket objects are often used as transparent duck typed file objects
in code already prepared to deal with IOError exceptions.

also a minor fix:

 urllib2 - fix a couple places where IOError was raised rather than URLError.
           for better or worse, URLError already inherits from IOError so
           this won't break any existing code.

 test_urllib2net - replace bad ftp urls.

Bill Janssen 426ea0a864 This contains a number of things:
1) Improve the documentation of the SSL module, with a fuller
   explanation of certificate usage, another reference, proper
   formatting of this and that.

2) Fix Windows bug in ssl.py, and general bug in sslsocket.close().
   Remove some unused code from ssl.py.  Allow accept() to be called on
   sslsocket sockets.

3) Use try-except-else in import of ssl in socket.py.  Deprecate use of
   socket.ssl().

4) Remove use of socket.ssl() in every library module, except for
   test_socket_ssl.py and test_ssl.py.

Lars Gustäbel a0fcb9384e Added errors argument to TarFile class that allows the user to
specify an error handling scheme for character conversion. Additional
scheme "utf-8" in read mode. Unicode input filenames are now
supported by design. The values of the pax_headers dictionary are now
limited to unicode objects.

Fixed: The prefix field is no longer used in PAX_FORMAT (in
conformance with POSIX).
Fixed: In read mode use a possible pax header size field.
Fixed: Strip trailing slashes from pax header name values.
Fixed: Give values in user-specified pax_headers precedence when
writing.

Added unicode tests. Added pax/regtype4 member to testtar.tar all
possible number fields in a pax header.

Added two chapters to the documentation about the different formats
tarfile.py supports and how unicode issues are handled.
