have to insert it in front of other classes, nor do dirty tricks like
inserting a "dummy" HTTPHandler after a ProxyHandler when building an
opener with proxy support.
Python-Dev. Fixed typos in test comments. Added some trivial new test
guts to show the parallelism (now) among __delitem__, __setitem__ and
__getitem__ wrt error conditions.
Still a bugfix candidate for 2.2.3 final, but waiting for Fred to get a
chance to chime in.
Someone review this, please! Final releases are getting close, Fred
(the weakref guy) won't be around until Tuesday, and the pre-patch
code can indeed raise spurious RuntimeErrors in the presence of
threads or mutating comparison functions.
See the bug report for my confusions: I can't see any reason for why
__delitem__ iterated over the keys. The new one-liner implementation
is much faster, can't raise RuntimeError, and should be better-behaved
in all respects wrt threads.
New tests test_weak_keyed_bad_delitem and
test_weak_keyed_cascading_deletes fail before this patch.
Bugfix candidate for 2.2.3 too, if someone else agrees with this patch.
float_pow(): Don't let the platform pow() raise -1.0 to an integer power
anymore; at least glibc gets it wrong in some cases. Note that
math.pow() will continue to deliver wrong (but platform-native) results
in such cases.
tp_free is NULL or PyObject_Del at the end. Because it's a base type
it must call tp_free in its dealloc function, and because it's gc'able
it must not call PyObject_Del.
inherit_slots(): Don't inherit tp_free unless the type and its base
agree about whether they're gc'able. If the type is gc'able and the
base is not, and the base uses the default PyObject_Del for its
tp_free, give the type PyObject_GC_Del for its tp_free (the appropriate
default for a gc'able type).
cPickle.c: The Pickler and Unpickler types claim to be base classes
and gc'able, but their dealloc functions didn't call tp_free.
Repaired that. Also call PyType_Ready() on these typeobjects, so
that the correct (PyObject_GC_Del) default memory-freeing function
gets plugged into these types' tp_free slots.
one good use: a subclass adding a method to express the duration as
a number of hours (or minutes, or whatever else you want to add). The
native breakdown into days+seconds+us is often clumsy. Incidentally
moved a large chunk of object-initialization code closer to the top of
the file, to avoid worse forward-reference trickery.
- When redirecting, always use GET. This is common practice and
more-or-less sanctioned by the HTTP standard.
- Add a handler for 307 redirection, which becomes an error for POST,
but a regular redirect for GET and HEAD.
After removing that, two testers on machines where C: is not the system
drive reported that the installer suggested their system drive instead
of C:, and that's what they wanted it to do.
Reverted a Py2.3b1 change to iterator in subclasses of list and tuple.
They had been changed to use __getitem__ whenever it had been overriden
in the subclass.
This caused some usabilty and performance problems. Also, it was
inconsistent with the rest of python where many container methods
access the underlying object directly without first checking for
an overridden getter. Users needing a change in iterator behavior
should override it directly.
- The socket module now provides the functions inet_pton and inet_ntop
for converting between string and packed representation of IP addresses.
See SF patch #658327.
This still needs a bit of work in the doc area, because it is not
available on all platforms (especially not on Windows).
