Since CREATE_NEW_* are used for the creation flags of a subprocess, they
were added to __all__. The rest of the previously exposed attributes are
now qualified by _subprocess.ATTR rather than importing *.
os.kill takes one of two newly added signals, CTRL_C_EVENT and
CTRL_BREAK_EVENT, or any integer value. The events are a special case
which work with subprocess console applications which implement a
special console control handler. Any other value but those two will
cause os.kill to use TerminateProcess, outright killing the process.
This change adds win_console_handler.py, which is a script to implement
SetConsoleCtrlHandler and applicable handler function, using ctypes.
subprocess also gets another attribute which is a necessary flag to
creationflags in Popen in order to send the CTRL events.
*ReflectionKey functions used to not be documented or tested, but they are
now sufficiently documented and tested on platforms where they apply.
Additionally, fixed a bug in QueryReflectionKey which was returning an
incorrect value.
All tests pass from XP through Windows 7, on 32 and 64-bit platforms.
* PyCObject_AsVoidPtr() can now open capsules. This addresses
most of the remaining backwards-compatibility concerns about
the conversion of Python 2.7 from CObjects to capsules.
* CObjects were marked Pending Deprecation.
* Documentation about this pending deprecation was added to
cobject.h.
* The capsule source files were added to the legacy PC build
processes.
- add double endianness detection to configure script
- add configure-time check to see whether we can use inline
assembly to get and set x87 control word in configure script
- add functions to get and set x87 control word in Python/pymath.c
- add pyport.h logic to determine whether it's safe to use the
short float repr or not
since the introduction of the SETUP_WITH opcode,
__enter__ and __exit__ methods must belong to the type,
and are not retrieved at the instance level (__dict__ or __getattr__).
Add a note in whatsnew about this incompatibility;
old style classes are not affected.
Part of source_os2emx.patch in issue 3868:
Include/pystrcmp.h: OS/2 has same C APIs as Windows
Lib/test/test_io.py: OS/2 has same behaviour as Windows for this test
