to create a Python OSA component, which would turn Python
into a first-class OSA scripting language (like AppleScript itself).
for Big String). This should make the tests pass on Win98SE. Note
that the docs only promise lengths up to 2048. Unfortunately this no
longer tests for the segfault I was seeing earlier, but I'm confident
I've nailed that one. :-) Fixes SF 852281. Will backport to 2.3.

Reorganize tests into functions so more combinations of
unicode/encoded/ascii can be tested, and while I was at it, upgrade to
unittest based test.

way of copying the source to the destination provided the destination

and left shifts. (Thanks to Kalle Svensson for SF patch 849227.)
This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by
PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing
'L'. The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that
changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not
implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to
hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.

* Add more tests
* Refactor and neaten the code a bit.
* Rename union_update() to update().
* Improve the algorithms (making them a closer to sets.py).

* Add a better test for deepcopying.
* Add tests to show the __init__() function works like it does for list
and tuple. Add related test.
* Have shallow copies of frozensets return self. Add related test.
* Have frozenset(f) return f if f is already a frozenset. Add related test.
* Beefed-up some existing tests.
Also SF patch 843455.
This is a critical bugfix.
I'll backport to 2.3 maint, but not beyond that. The bugs this fixes
have been there since weakrefs were introduced.
gets done when maxheaderlen <> 0. The header really gets wrapped via
the email.Header.Header class, which has a more sophisticated
algorithm than just splitting on semi-colons.
* Install the unittests, docs, newsitem, include file, and makefile update.
* Exercise the new functions whereever sets.py was being used.
Includes the docs for libfuncs.tex. Separate docs for the types are
forthcoming.
The find_all_submodules() method in modulefinder only
looks for *.py, *.pyc, and *.pyo files. Python
extension modules are only found if they are referenced
in import statements somewhere.
This patch uses the actual list from imp.get_suffixes().
Backported myself.
subtype_dealloc(): This left the dying object exposed to gc, so that
if cyclic gc triggered during the weakref callback, gc tried to delete
the dying object a second time. That's a disaster. subtype_dealloc()
had a (I hope!) unique problem here, as every normal dealloc routine
untracks the object (from gc) before fiddling with weakrefs etc. But
subtype_dealloc has obscure technical reasons for re-registering the
dying object with gc (already explained in a large comment block at
the bottom of the function).
The fix amounts to simply refraining from reregistering the dying object
with gc until after the weakref callback (if any) has been called.
This is a critical bug (hard to predict, and causes seemingly random
memory corruption when it occurs). I'll backport it to 2.3 later.
Formerly, underlying queue was implemented in terms of two lists. The
new queue is a series of singly-linked fixed length lists.
The new implementation runs much faster, supports multi-way tees, and
allows tees of tees without additional memory costs.
The root ideas for this structure were contributed by Andrew Koenig
and Guido van Rossum.
memory leak that would've occurred for all iterators that were
destroyed before having iterated until they raised StopIteration.
* Simplify some code.
* Add new test cases to check for the memleak and ensure that mixing
iteration with modification of the values for existing keys works.
* tee object is no longer subclassable
* independent iterators renamed to "itertools.tee_iterator"
* fixed doc string typo and added entry in the module doc string
* Fixed typo in docstring for 'failUnlessAlmostEqual()'
* Removed unnecessary use of 'float()' for time values.
* Removed apparently unnecessary import of unittest. At some point in
the distant past I believe it was necessary otherwise the 'TestCase'
that a module saw was not the same as the 'TestCase' seen within
'unittest', and the user's TestCase subclasses were not recognised as
subclasses of the TestCase seen within unittest. Seems not to be
necessary now.
charmaptranslate_makespace() allocated more memory than required for the
next replacement but didn't remember that fact, so memory size was growing
exponentially every time a replacement string is longer that one character.
This fixes SF bug #828737.
It works like the pure python verion except:
* it stops storing data after of the iterators gets deallocated
* the data queue is implemented with two stacks instead of one dictionary.
of the dispatcher object break. e.g. if you close() the object, it
tries to remove itself from the default map, not from the map the
dispatcher was created with.
The patch, from Stephane Ninin, records the map as an attribute of
the dispatcher instance.
2.3 bugfix candidate.
The patch was tweaked slightly. It's get a different mechanism for
generating the cnonce which uses /dev/urandom when possible to
generate less-easily-guessed random input.
Also rearrange the imports so that they are alphabetical and
duplicates are eliminated.
Add a few XXX comments about things left undone and things that could
be improved.
