could be responsible for various unexplained problems with Python/OSA
interaction over the years):
- Enum values were passed as their string counterparts. Most applications
don't seem to mind this, but some do (InDesign).
- Attributes have never worked (!), as they were incorrectly passed
as parameters. Apparently nobody uses them much:-)
Eliminate extra blank line in shell output. Caused by stdout not being
flushed
upon completion of subprocess' Executive.runcode() when user code ends by
outputting an unterminated line, e.g. print "test",
[ 555817 ] Flawed fcntl.ioctl implementation.
with my patch that allows for an array to be mutated when passed
as the buffer argument to ioctl() (details complicated by
backwards compatibility considerations -- read the docs!).
assertRaises. Fixed a repeated subtle bug in the inplace tests by
removing the possibilty that a self.fail() call could raise a
TypeError that the test catches by mistake.
Allow mixed-type __eq__ and __ne__ for Set objects. This is messier than
I'd like because Set *also* implements __cmp__. I know of one glitch now:
cmp(s, t) returns 0 now when s and t are both Sets and s == t, despite
that Set.__cmp__ unconditionally raises TypeError (and by intent). The
rub is that __eq__ gets tried first, and the x.__eq__(y) True result
convinces Python that cmp(x, y) is 0 without even calling Set.__cmp__.
rarely needed, but can sometimes be useful to release objects
referenced by the traceback held in sys.exc_info()[2]. (SF patch
#693195.) Thanks to Kevin Jacobs!
M run.py
Move exception formatting out of rpc.py. This allows each end of the
link to format and print exceptions how and where it sees fit and makes it
easier for threads to display their own exceptions.
* Changed variable name from 'list' to 'flist'.
* Replaced "while 1" with "while True".
* Replaced if/elif/elif/elif structure with a shorter and
faster dispatch dictionary that maps attrs to methods.
* Simplified and sped comparison logic by using
ifilter, ifilterfalse, and dict.fromkeys.
* Used True and False rather than 1 and 0.
* Replaced "while 1" with "while True"
* Rewrote read() and readline() for clarity and speed.
* Replaced variable 'list' with 'hlist'
* Used augmented assignment in two places.
specified with an absolute path, the object file is also
written to an absolute path. The patch drops the drive and
leading '/' from the source path, so a path like /path/to/foo.c
results in an object file like build/temp.i686linux/path/to/foo.o.
