blindly assumed that tp_as_sequence->sq_item always returns
a str or unicode object. This might fail with str or unicode
subclasses.
This patch checks whether the object returned from __getitem__
is a str/unicode object and raises a TypeError if not (and
the filter function returned true).
Furthermore the result for __getitem__ can be more than one
character long, so checks for enough memory have to be done.
__module__ is the string name of the module the function was defined
in, just like __module__ of classes. In some cases, particularly for
C functions, the __module__ may be None.
Change PyCFunction_New() from a function to a macro, but keep an
unused copy of the function around so that we don't change the binary
API.
Change pickle's save_global() to use whichmodule() if __module__ is
None, but add the __module__ logic to whichmodule() since it might be
used outside of pickle.
Make the code slightly shorter, faster, and easier to
read.
* Eliminate unused DUP_TOPX code for x==1.
compile.c always generates DUP_TOP instead.
* Since only two cases remain for DUP_TOPX, replace
the switch-case with if-elseif.
* The in-lined integer compare does a CheckExact on
both arguments. Since the second is a little more
likely to fail, test it first.
* The switch-case for IS/IS_NOT and IN/NOT_IN can
separate the regular and inverted cases with no
additional work. For all four paths, saves a test and
jump.
the AEDesc data shouldn't be disposed when the Python object is.
Added a C call AEDesc_NewBorrowed() to create these objects and a Python

The two are semantically equivalent, but the first triggered a compiler

generate calls with a parameter higher than three.
May have to be reverted if the second alpha or beta shakes out some
other tool generating this op code with a parameter of four or five.
Replaced groups of pushes and pops with indexed access to the stack and
a single adjustment (if needed) to the stacklevel.
Avoids scores of unnecessary increments and decrements to the stackpointer.
Removes unnecessary sequential dependencies so that the compiler has more
freedom for optimizations. Frees the processor for more parallel and
pipelined execution by using mostly read-only access and having few pointer
adjustments just prior to a read or write.
This fixes the problem on Windows - that's the only system where I can

It leaves sys.argv alone and only changes sys.path[0] to an absolute

A variety of changes from Michael Hudson to get the compiler working
with 2.3. The primary change is the handling of SET_LINENO:
# The set_lineno() function and the explicit emit() calls for
# SET_LINENO below are only used to generate the line number table.
# As of Python 2.3, the interpreter does not have a SET_LINENO
# instruction. pyassem treats SET_LINENO opcodes as a special case.
A few other small changes:
- Remove unused code from pycodegen and pyassem.
- Fix error handling in parsermodule. When PyParser_SimplerParseString()
fails, it sets an exception with detailed info. The parsermodule
was clobbering that exception and replacing it was a generic
"could not parse string" exception. Keep the original exception.
I can't test this on the snake farm (no aix box is working).
This change works for the submitter seems correct.
Can anybody test this on 32- and 64- bit AIX?

This removes some if conditions.

- new module called 'zipimport'
- various changes to allow bootstrapping from zip files
I hope I didn't break the Windows build (or anything else for that
matter), but then again, it's been sitting on sf long enough...
Regarding the latest discussions on python-dev: zipimport sets
pkg.__path__ as specified in PEP 273, and likewise, sys.path item such as
/path/to/Archive.zip/subdir/ are supported again.

Thanks to Neal and Armin!
Also add a test suite. This should have come with the original patch...
in LOAD_GLOBAL. Besides saving a C function call, it saves checks
whether f_globals and f_builtins are dicts, and extracting and testing
the string object's hash code is done only once. We bail out of the
inlining if the name is not exactly a string, or when its hash is -1;
because of interning, neither should ever happen. I believe interning
guarantees that the hash code is set, and I believe that the 'names'
tuple of a code object always contains interned strings, but I'm not
assuming that -- I'm simply testing hash != -1.
On my home machine, this makes a pystone variant with new-style
classes and slots run at the same speed as classic pystone! (With
new-style classes but without slots, it is still a lot slower.)
Also, don't handle METH_OLDARGS on the fast path. All the interesting
builtins have been converted to use METH_NOARGS, METH_O, or
METH_VARARGS.
Result is another 1-2% speedup. If I can cobble together 10 of these,
it might make a difference.
This makes the code much easier to ready, because it is at a sane
indentation level. On my box this shows a 1-2% speedup, which means
nothing, except that I'm not going to worry about the performance
effects of the change.
nothing special done if keyword arguments were present, so test for
that earlier and fall through to the normal case if there are any.
This ought to slow down CFunction calls with keyword args, but I don't
care; it's a tiny (1%) improvement for pystone.
- Use PyObject_Call() instead of PyEval_CallObject(), saves several

currently return inconsistent results for ints and longs; in
particular: hex/oct/%u/%o/%x/%X of negative short ints, and x<<n that
either loses bits or changes sign. (No warnings for repr() of a long,
though that will also change to lose the trailing 'L' eventually.)
This introduces some warnings in the test suite; I'll take care of
those later.
Change the parser and compiler to use PyMalloc.
Only the files implementing processes that will request memory
allocations small enough for PyMalloc to be a win have been
changed, which are:-
- Python/compile.c
- Parser/acceler.c
- Parser/node.c
- Parser/parsetok.c
This augments the aggressive overallocation strategy implemented by
Tim Peters in PyNode_AddChild() [Parser/node.c], in reducing the
impact of platform malloc()/realloc()/free() corner case behaviour.
Such corner cases are known to be triggered by test_longexp and
test_import.
Jeremy Hylton, in accepting this patch, recommended this as a
bugfix candidate for 2.2. While the changes to Python/compile.c
and Parser/node.c backport easily (and could go in), the changes
to Parser/acceler.c and Parser/parsetok.c require other not
insignificant changes as a result of the differences in the memory
APIs between 2.3 and 2.2, which I'm not in a position to work
through at the moment. This is a pity, as the Parser/parsetok.c
changes are the most important after the Parser/node.c changes, due
to the size of the memory requests involved and their frequency.
actual script to run in case we are running from an applet. If we are indeed
running an applet we skip the normal option processing leaving it all to the
applet code.
This allows us to get use the normal python binary in the Python.app bundle,
giving us all the normal command line options through PythonLauncher while
still allowing Python.app to be used as the template for building applets.
Consequently, pythonforbundle is gone, and Mac/Python/macmain.c isn't used
on OSX anymore.

The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure. Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers. (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)
I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static. This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.
XXX I haven't updated the documentation.

to nothing at all when they're not enabled. This should help sub-
standard compilers that can't do a good job of optimizing away the
previous "(void)0" expressions.
Py_DECREF: There's only one definition of this now. Yay! That

maze.
Py_FatalError(): Changed the char* signature to const char*.
_Py_NegativeRefcount(): New helper function for the Py_REF_DEBUG
expansion of Py_DECREF. Calling an external function cuts down on
the volume of generated code. The previous inline expansion of abort()
didn't work as intended on Windows (the program often kept going, and
the error msg scrolled off the screen unseen). _Py_NegativeRefcount
calls Py_FatalError instead, which captures our best knowledge of
how to abort effectively across platforms.
that have taken me "too long" to reverse-engineer over the years.
Vastly reduced the nesting level and redundancy of #ifdef-ery.
Took a light stab at repairing comments that are no longer true.
sys_gettotalrefcount(): Changed to enable under Py_REF_DEBUG.
It was enabled under Py_TRACE_REFS, which was much heavier than
necessary. sys.gettotalrefcount() is now available in a
Py_REF_DEBUG-only build.
This patch enhances Python/import.c/find_module() so
that unicode objects found in sys.path will be treated
as legal directory names (The current code ignores
anything that is not a str). The unicode name is
converted to str using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding.
These built-in functions are replaced by their (now callable) type:
slice()
buffer()
and these types can also be called (but have no built-in named
function named after them)
classobj (type name used to be "class")

function
instance
instancemethod (type name used to be "instance method")
The module "new" has been replaced with a small backward compatibility
placeholder in Python.
A large portion of the patch simply removes the new module from
various platform-specific build recipes. The following binary Mac
project files still have references to it:
Mac/Build/PythonCore.mcp
Mac/Build/PythonStandSmall.mcp
Mac/Build/PythonStandalone.mcp

This was a simple typo. Strange that the compiler didn't catch it!
Instead of WHY_CONTINUE, two tests used CONTINUE_LOOP, which isn't a
why_code at all, but an opcode; but even though 'why' is declared as
an enum, comparing it to an int is apparently not even worth a
warning -- not in gcc, and not in VC++. :-(
Will fix in 2.2 too.

don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs. The
most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos):
if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) {
Py_DECREF(s);
s = NULL;
goto outtahere;
}
The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically
decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its
refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL. So if the "if"
branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s): s is already
NULL! A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended)
if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0)
goto outtahere;
Bugfix candidate.
The SIGXFSZ signal is sent when the maximum file size limit is
exceeded (RLIMIT_FSIZE). Apparently, it is also sent when the 2GB
file limit is reached on platforms without large file support.
The default action for SIGXFSZ is to terminate the process and dump
core. When it is ignored, the system call that caused the limit to be
exceeded returns an error and sets errno to EFBIG. Python
always checks errno on I/O syscalls, so there is nothing to do with
the signal.
+ Redirect PyMem_{Del, DEL} to the object allocator's free() when
pymalloc is enabled. Needed so old extensions can continue to
mix PyObject_New with PyMem_DEL.
+ This implies that pgen needs to be able to see the PyObject_XYZ
declarations too. pgenheaders.h now includes Python.h. An
implication is that I expect obmalloc.o needs to get linked into
pgen on non-Windows boxes.
+ When PYMALLOC_DEBUG is defined, *all* Py memory API functions
now funnel through the debug allocator wrapper around pymalloc.
This is the default in a debug build.
+ That caused compile.c to fail: it indirectly mixed PyMem_Malloc
with raw platform free() in one place. This is verbotten.
Highlights: import and friends will understand any of \r, \n and \r\n

PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.
Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.
SF bug 535905 (Evil Trashcan and GC interaction).
The SETLOCAL() macro should not DECREF the local variable in-place and
then store the new value; it should copy the old value to a temporary
value, then store the new value, and then DECREF the temporary value.
This is because it is possible that during the DECREF the frame is
accessed by other code (e.g. a __del__ method or gc.collect()) and the
variable would be pointing to already-freed memory.
BUGFIX CANDIDATE!
descriptor, as used for the tp_methods slot of a type. These new flag
bits are both optional, and mutually exclusive. Most methods will not
use either. These flags are used to create special method types which
exist in the same namespace as normal methods without having to use
tedious construction code to insert the new special method objects in
the type's tp_dict after PyType_Ready() has been called.
If METH_CLASS is specified, the method will represent a class method
like that returned by the classmethod() built-in.
If METH_STATIC is specified, the method will represent a static method
like that returned by the staticmethod() built-in.
These flags may not be used in the PyMethodDef table for modules since
these special method types are not meaningful in that case; a
ValueError will be raised if these flags are found in that context.
This fixes the symptom, but PRINT_ITEM has no way to know what (if
anything) PyFile_WriteObject() writes unless the object being printed
is a string. When the object isn't a string, this fix retains the
guess that softspace should be set after PyFile_WriteObject().
We might want to say that it's the job of filelike-object write methods
to leave the file's softspace in the correct state. That would probably
be better -- but everyone relies on PRINT_ITEM to guess for them now.
A file-static "threads" dict mapped thread IDs to Windows handles, but

Fix for the UTF-8 decoder: it will now accept isolated surrogates
(previously it raised an exception which causes round-trips to
fail).
Added new tests for UTF-8 round-trip safety (we rely on UTF-8 for
marshalling Unicode objects, so we better make sure it works for
all Unicode code points, including isolated surrogates).
Bumped the PYC magic in a non-standard way -- please review. This
was needed because the old PYC format used illegal UTF-8 sequences
for isolated high surrogates which now raise an exception.
By default every module is imported in its own namespace, but this can
be changed by defining USE_DYLD_GLOBAL_NAMESPACE. In a future version this
define will be replaced by a runtime setting, but that needs a bit more
thought.
This code is largely based on code and feedback from Steven Majewski,
Marcel Prastawa, Manoj Plakal and other on pythonmac-sig.
type.__module__ problems (again?)
This simply initializes the __module__ local in a class statement from
the __name__ global. I'm not 100% sure that this is the correct fix,
although it usually does the right thing. The problem is that if the
class statement executes in a custom namespace, the __name__ global
may be taken from __builtins__, in which case it would have the value
__builtin__, or it may not exist at all (if the custom namespace also
has a custom __builtins__), in which case the class statement will
fail.
Nevertheless, unless someone finds a better solution, this is a 2.2.1
bugfix too.

Big Hammer to implement -Qnew as PEP 238 says it should work (a global
option affecting all instances of "/").
pydebug.h, main.c, pythonrun.c: define a private _Py_QnewFlag flag, true
iff -Qnew is passed on the command line. This should go away (as the
comments say) when true division becomes The Rule. This is
deliberately not exposed to runtime inspection or modification: it's
a one-way one-shot switch to pretend you're using Python 3.
ceval.c: when _Py_QnewFlag is set, treat BINARY_DIVIDE as
BINARY_TRUE_DIVIDE.
test_{descr, generators, zipfile}.py: fiddle so these pass under
-Qnew too. This was just a matter of s!/!//! in test_generators and
test_zipfile. test_descr was trickier, as testbinop() is passed
assumptions that "/" is the same as calling a "__div__" method; put
a temporary hack there to call "__truediv__" instead when the method
name is "__div__" and 1/2 evaluates to 0.5.
Three standard tests still fail under -Qnew (on Windows; somebody
please try the Linux tests with -Qnew too! Linux runs a whole bunch
of tests Windows doesn't):
test_augassign
test_class
test_coercion
I can't stay awake longer to stare at this (be my guest). Offhand
cures weren't obvious, nor was it even obvious that cures are possible
without major hackery.
Question: when -Qnew is in effect, should calls to __div__ magically
change into calls to __truediv__? See "major hackery" at tail end of
last paragraph <wink>.
There's now a new structmember code, T_OBJECT_EX, which is used for
all __slot__ variables (except __weakref__, which has special behavior
anyway). This new code raises AttributeError when the variable is
NULL rather than converting NULL to None.
The error for assignment to __debug__ used ste->ste_opt_lineno instead
of n->n_lineno. The latter was at best incorrect; often the slot was
uninitialized. Two fixes here: Use the correct lineno for the error.
Initialize ste_opt_lineno in PySymtable_New(); while there are no
current cases where it is referenced unless it has already been
assigned to, there is no harm in initializing it.
use wrappers on all platforms, to make this as consistent as possible x-
platform (in particular, make sure there's at least one \0 byte in
the output buffer). Also document more of the truth about what these do.
getargs.c, seterror(): Three computations of remaining buffer size were
backwards, thus telling PyOS_snprintf the buffer is larger than it
actually is. This matters a lot now that PyOS_snprintf ensures there's a
trailing \0 byte (because it didn't get the truth about the buffer size,
it was storing \0 beyond the true end of the buffer).

produce a \0 byte.
than the argument string size, copy as many bytes as will fit
(including a terminating '\0'), rather than not copying anything.
This to make it satisfy the C99 spec.
vgetargskeywords(): Now that this routine is checking for bad input
(rather than dump core in some cases), some bad calls are raising errors
that previously "worked". This patch makes the error strings more
revealing, and changes the exceptions from SystemError to RuntimeError
(under the theory that SystemError is more of a "can't happen!" assert-
like thing, and so inappropriate for bad arguments to a public C API
function).
seterror() uses a char array and a pointer to the current position in
that array. Use snprintf() and compute the amount of space left in
the buffer based on the current pointer position.
If it returns -1 (which indicates overflow on old Linux platforms and
perhaps on Windows) or size greater than buffer, write a message
indicating that the previous message was truncated.

Conversion of sprintf() to PyOS_snprintf() for buffer overrun

PyEval_EvalCodeEx(): increment tstate->recursion_depth around the
decref of the frame, because the C stack for this call is still in
use and the decref can lead to __del__ methods getting called.
While this gives tstate->recursion_depth a value proportional to the
depth of the C stack (instead of a small constant no matter how
deeply __del__s recurse), it's not enough to stop the reported crash
when using the default recursion limit on Windows.

Fixing those is left as an exercise for a later day.

the kwlist vector whenever there was a mix of positional and keyword
arguments, and the number of positional arguments exceeded the length
of the kwlist vector. If there was just one more positional arg than
keyword, the kwlist-terminating NULL got passed to PyMapping_HasKeyString,
which set an internal error that vgetargskeywords() then squashed (but
it's impossible to say whether it knew it was masking an error). If
more than one more positional argument, it went on to pass random trash
to PyMapping_HasKeyString, which is why the example at the start
happened to kill the process.
Pure bugfix candidate.
to call the corresponding methods. This is not a performance improvement
since the times are still swamped by disk I/O, but cleans up the code just
a little.
In Include/, marshal.h declares both
PyMarshal_ReadLongFromFile()
and PyMarshal_ReadShortFromFile(),
but the second is missing from marshal.c.
[Shouldn't the return type be declared as 'short' instead of 'int'?
But 'int' is what was in marshal.h all those years... --Guido]
This fixes the behavior reported by SF bug #404545, where a file
x.y.py could be imported by the statement "import x.y" when there's a
frozen package x (I believe even if x.y also exists as a frozen
module).
:-).
Add a test that prevents the __hello__ bytecode from going stale
unnoticed again.
The test also tests the loophole noted in SF bug #404545. This test
will fail right now; I'll check in the fix in a minute.
The symbol table pass didn't have an explicit case for the list_iter
node which is used only for a nested list comprehension. As a result,
the target of the list comprehension was treated as a use instead of
an assignment. Fix is to add a case to symtable_node() to handle
list_iter.
Also, rework and document a couple of the subtler implementation
issues in the symbol table pass. The symtable_node() switch statement
depends on falling through the last several cases, in order to handle
some of the more complicated nodes like atom. Add a comment
explaining the behavior before the first fall through case. Add a
comment /* fall through */ at the end of case so that it is explicitly
marked as such.
Move the for_stmt case out of the fall through logic, which simplifies
both for_stmt and default. (The default used the local variable start
to skip the first three nodes of a for_stmt when it fell through.)
Rename the flag argument to symtable_assign() to def_flag and add a
comment explaining its use:
The third argument to symatble_assign() is a flag to be passed to
symtable_add_def() if it is eventually called. The flag is useful
to specify the particular type of assignment that should be
recorded, e.g. an assignment caused by import.
Also minor tweaks to internal routines.
Use PyCF_MASK instead of explicit list of flags.
For the MAKE_CLOSURE opcode, the number of items popped off the stack
depends on both the oparg and the number of free variables for the
code object. Fix the code so it accounts for the free variables.
In com_classdef(), record an extra pop to account for the STORE call
after the BUILD_CLASS.
Get rid of some commented out debugging code in com_push() and
com_pop().
Factor string resize logic into helper routine com_check_size().
In com_addbyte(), remove redudant if statement after assert. (They
test the same condition.)
In several routines, use string macros instead of string functions.
This changes Pythread_start_thread() to return the thread ID, or -1
for an error. (It's technically an incompatible API change, but I
doubt anyone calls it.)
When an extension imports another extension in its
initXXX() function, the variable _Py_PackageContext is
prematurely reset to NULL. If the outer extension then
calls Py_InitModule(), the extension is installed in
sys.modules without its package name. The
manifestation of this bug is a "SystemError:
_PyImport_FixupExtension: module <package>.<extension>
not loaded".
To fix this, importdl.c just needs to retain the old
value of _Py_PackageContext and restore it after the
initXXX() method is called. The attached patch does this.
This patch applies to Python 2.1.1 and the current CVS.
"for <var> in <testlist> may no longer be a single test followed by
a comma. This solves SF bug #431886. Note that if the testlist
contains more than one test, a trailing comma is still allowed, for
maximum backward compatibility; but this example is not:
[(x, y) for x in range(10), for y in range(10)]
^
The fix involved creating a new nonterminal 'testlist_safe' whose
definition doesn't allow the trailing comma if there's only one test:
testlist_safe: test [(',' test)+ [',']]
This patch changes to logic to:
if env.var. set and non-empty:
if env.var. is an integer:
set flag to that integer
if flag is zero: # [actually, <= 0 --GvR]
set flag to 1
Under this patch, anyone currently using
PYTHONVERBOSE=yes will get the same output as before.
PYTHONVERBNOSE=2 will generate more verbosity than
before.
The only unusual case that the following three are
still all equivalent:
PYTHONVERBOSE=yespleas
PYTHONVERBOSE=1
PYTHONVERBOSE=0
This patch updates Python/thread_pthread.h to mask all
signals for any thread created. This will keep all
signals masked for any thread that isn't the initial
thread. For Solaris and Linux, the two platforms I was
able to test it on, it solves bug #465673 (pthreads
need signal protection) and probably will solve bug
#219772 (Interactive InterPreter+ Thread -> core dump
at exit).
I'd be great if this could get some testing on other
platforms, especially HP-UX pre 11.00 and post 11.00,
as I had to make some guesses for the DCE thread case.
AIX is also a concern as I saw some mention of using
sigthreadmask() as a pthread_sigmask() equivalent, but
this patch doesn't use sigthreadmask(). I don't have
access to AIX.
The new profiler event stream includes a "return" event even when an
exception is being propogated, but the machinery that called the profile
hook did not save & restore the exception. In debug mode, the exception
was detected during the execution of the profile callback, which did not
have the proper internal flags set for the exception. Saving & restoring
the exception state solves the problem.
The profiler does not need to know anything about the exception state,
so we no longer call it when an exception is raised. We do, however,
make sure we *always* call the profiler when we exit a frame. This
ensures that timing events are more easily isolated by a profiler and
finally clauses that do a lot of work don't have their time
mis-allocated.
When an exception is propogated out of the frame, the C callback for
the profiler now receives a PyTrace_RETURN event with an arg of NULL;
the Python-level profile hook function will see a 'return' event with
an arg of None. This means that from Python it is impossible for the
profiler to determine if the frame exited with an exception or if it
returned None, but this doesn't matter for profiling. A C-based
profiler could tell the difference, but this doesn't seem important.
ceval.c:eval_frame(): Simplify the code in two places so that the
profiler is called for every exit from a frame
and not for exceptions.
sysmodule.c:profile_trampoline(): Make sure we don't expose Python
code to NULL; use None instead.
Unknown whether this fixes it.
- stringobject.c, PyString_FromFormatV: don't assume that va_list is of
a type that can be copied via an initializer.
- errors.c, PyErr_Format: add a va_end() to balance the va_start().
If a new exception occurs while an exception instance is being
created, try harder to make sure there is a traceback. If the
original exception had a traceback associated with it and the new
exception does not, keep the old exception.
Of course, callers to PyErr_NormalizeException() must still be
prepared to have tb set to NULL.
XXX This isn't an ideal solution, but it's better than no traceback at
all. It occurs if, for example, the exception occurs when the call to
the constructor fails before any Python code is executed. Guido
suggests that it there is Python code that was about to be executed
-- but wasn't, say, because it was called with the wrong number of
arguments -- then we should point at the first line of the code object
anyway.
It's possible for PyErr_NormalizeException() to set the traceback
pointer to NULL. I'm not sure how to provoke this directly from
Python, although it may be possible. The error occurs when an
exception is set using PyErr_SetObject() and another exception occurs
while PyErr_NormalizeException() is creating the exception instance.
XXX As a result of this change, it's possible for an exception to
occur but sys.last_traceback to be left undefined. Not sure if this
is a problem.
popped frame-block. What an embarrassing bug! Especially for Jeremy, since
he accepted the patch :-)
This fixes SF bugs #463359 and #462937, and possibly other, *very* obscure
bugs with very deeply nested loops that continue the loop and then break out
of it or raise an exception.
compatibility, this required all places where an array of "struct
memberlist" structures was declared that is referenced from a type's
tp_members slot to change the type of the structure to PyMemberDef;
"struct memberlist" is now only used by old code that still calls
PyMember_Get/Set. The code in PyObject_GenericGetAttr/SetAttr now
calls the new APIs PyMember_GetOne/SetOne, which take a PyMemberDef
argument.
As examples, I added actual docstrings to the attributes of a few
types: file, complex, instance method, super, and xxsubtype.spamlist.
Also converted the symtable to new style getattr.
Renamed the 'readonly' field to 'flags' and defined some new flag
bits: READ_RESTRICTED and WRITE_RESTRICTED, as well as a shortcut
RESTRICTED that means both.
backwards compatibility. When using the class of the first base as
the metaclass, use its __class__ attribute in preference over its
ob_type slot. This ensures that we can still use classic classes as
metaclasse, as shown in the original "Metaclasses" essay. This also
makes all the examples in Demo/metaclasses/ work again (maybe these
should be turned into a test suite?).

by the 255 char pstring limit).
Implemented the function for MachO-Python, where it returns unix pathnames.

This adds a configure check and if all goes well turns on the
PTHREAD_SCOPE_SYSTEM thread attribute for new threads.
This should remove the need to add tiny sleeps at the start of threads
to allow other threads to be scheduled.

The conversimple() code that handles Unicode arguments and converts
them to the default encoding now calls converterr() with the original
Unicode argument instead of the NULL returned by the failed encoding
attempt.
com_factor(): when a unary minus is attached to a float or imaginary zero,
don't optimize the UNARY_MINUS opcode away: the const dict can't
distinguish between +0.0 and -0.0, so ended up treating both like the
first one added to it. Optimizing UNARY_PLUS away isn't a problem.
(BTW, I already uploaded the 2.2a3 Windows installer, and this isn't
important enough to delay the release.)
of PyMapping_Keys because we know we have a real dict. Tolerate that
objects may have an attr named "__dict__" that's not a dict (Py_None
popped up during testing).
test_descr.py, test_dir(): Test the new classic-class behavior; beef up
the new-style class test similarly.
test_pyclbr.py, checkModule(): dir(C) is no longer a synonym for
C.__dict__.keys() when C is a classic class (looks like the same thing
that burned distutils! -- should it be *made* a synoym again? Then it
would be inconsistent with new-style class behavior.).
bag. It's clearly wrong for classic classes, at heart because a classic
class doesn't have a __class__ attribute, and I'm unclear on whether
that's feature or bug. I'll repair this once I find out (in the
meantime, dir() applied to classic classes won't find the base classes,
while dir() applied to a classic-class instance *will* find the base
classes but not *their* base classes).
Please give the new dir() a try and see whether you love it or hate it.
The new dir([]) behavior is something I could come to love. Here's
something to hate:
>>> class C:
... pass
...
>>> c = C()
>>> dir(c)
['__doc__', '__module__']
>>>
The idea that an instance has a __doc__ attribute is jarring (of course
it's really c.__class__.__doc__ == C.__doc__; likewise for __module__).
OTOH, the code already has too many special cases, and dir(x) doesn't
have a compelling or clear purpose when x isn't a module.
PEP 238. Changes:
- add a new flag variable Py_DivisionWarningFlag, declared in
pydebug.h, defined in object.c, set in main.c, and used in
{int,long,float,complex}object.c. When this flag is set, the
classic division operator issues a DeprecationWarning message.
- add a new API PyRun_SimpleStringFlags() to match
PyRun_SimpleString(). The main() function calls this so that
commands run with -c can also benefit from -Dnew.
- While I was at it, I changed the usage message in main() somewhat:
alphabetized the options, split it in *four* parts to fit in under
512 bytes (not that I still believe this is necessary -- doc strings
elsewhere are much longer), and perhaps most visibly, don't display
the full list of options on each command line error. Instead, the
full list is only displayed when -h is used, and otherwise a brief
reminder of -h is displayed. When -h is used, write to stdout so
that you can do `python -h | more'.
Notes:
- I don't want to use the -W option to control whether the classic
division warning is issued or not, because the machinery to decide
whether to display the warning or not is very expensive (it involves
calling into the warnings.py module). You can use -Werror to turn
the warnings into exceptions though.
- The -Dnew option doesn't select future division for all of the
program -- only for the __main__ module. I don't know if I'll ever
change this -- it would require changes to the .pyc file magic
number to do it right, and a more global notion of compiler flags.
- You can usefully combine -Dwarn and -Dnew: this gives the __main__
module new division, and warns about classic division everywhere
else.
pyport.h: typedef a new Py_intptr_t type.
DELICATE ASSUMPTION: That HAVE_UINTPTR_T implies intptr_t is
available as well as uintptr_t. If that turns out not to be
true, things must get uglier (C99 wants both, so I think it's
an assumption we're *likely* to get away with).
thread_nt.h, PyThread_start_new_thread: MS _beginthread is documented
as returning unsigned long; no idea why uintptr_t was being used.
Others: Always use Py_[u]intptr_t, never [u]intptr_t directly.
Check return value from future_parse() in for loop for file_input to
accomodate multiple future statements on separate lines.
Add several comments explaining how the code works.
Remove out-dated XXX comment.
Change to get/set/del slice operations so that if the object doesn't
support slicing, *or* if either of the slice arguments is not an int
or long, we construct a slice object and call the get/set/del item
operation instead. This makes it possible to design classes that
support slice arguments of non-integral types.
builtin_eval wasn't merging in the compiler flags from the current frame;
I suppose we never noticed this before because future division is the
first future-feature that can affect expressions (nested_scopes and
generators had only statement-level effects).
CO_FUTURE_DIVISION flag. Redid this to use Jeremy's PyCF_MASK #define
instead, so we dont have to remember to fiddle individual feature names
here again.
pythonrun.h: Also #define a PyCF_MASK_OBSOLETE mask. This isn't used
yet, but will be as part of the PEP 264 implementation (compile() mustn't
raise an error just because old code uses a flag name that's become
obsolete; a warning may be appropriate, but not an error; so compile() has
to know about obsolete flags too, but nobody is going to remember to
update compile() with individual obsolete flag names across releases either
-- i.e., this is the flip side of PyEval_MergeCompilerFlags's oversight).
- Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled
- check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions
- disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions
- add the types.StringTypes list
- remove Unicode literals from most tests.
When code is compiled and compiler flags are passed in, be sure to
update cf_flags with any features defined by future statements in the
compiled code.
_PyImport_FixupExtension() on the exceptions module. Now
reload(exceptions) acts just like reload(sys) instead of raising
an ImportError.
This closes SF bug #422004.
The descr changes moved the dispatch for calling objects from
call_object() in ceval.c to PyObject_Call() in abstract.c.
call_object() and the many functions it used in ceval.c were no longer
used, but were not removed.
Rename meth_call() as PyCFunction_Call() so that it can be called by
the CALL_FUNCTION opcode in ceval.c.
Also, fix error message that referred to PyEval_EvalCodeEx() by its
old name eval_code2(). (I'll probably refer to it by its old name,
too.)
Revised version of Fred's patch, including support for ~ operator.
If the unary +, -, or ~ operator is applied to a constant, don't
generate a UNARY_xxx opcode. Just store the approriate value as a
constant. If the value is negative, extend the string containing the
constant and insert a negative in the 0th position.
For ~, compute the inverse of int and longs and use them directly, but
be prepared to generate code for all other possibilities (invalid
numbers, floats, complex).
same module twice, which apparently crashes Python. I could not test the
error condition, but in normal life it seems to have no adverse effects.
Also removed an unsued variable, and corrected 2 glaring errors (missing
'case' in front of a label).
Replace uses of PyCF_xxx with CO_xxx.
Replace individual feature slots in PyFutureFeatures with single
bitmask ff_features.

future feature parser -- can simply or (|) the definitions.
with functionality needed for both unix-Python and MacPython and a
new smaller ./Mac/Python/macglue.c which contains MacPython stuff only.
pymactoolbox.h has moved to ./Include from ./Mac/Include and now also
contains the relevant stuff from macglue.h.
The net effect of this is that the ./Mac subdirectory is not needed
anymore for building the unix-Python core on MacOSX (it is needed
for building the extension modules).
This introduces:
- A new operator // that means floor division (the kind of division
where 1/2 is 0).
- The "future division" statement ("from __future__ import division)
which changes the meaning of the / operator to implement "true
division" (where 1/2 is 0.5).
- New overloadable operators __truediv__ and __floordiv__.
- New slots in the PyNumberMethods struct for true and floor division,
new abstract APIs for them, new opcodes, and so on.
I emphasize that without the future division statement, the semantics
of / will remain unchanged until Python 3.0.
Not yet implemented are warnings (default off) when / is used with int
or long arguments.
This has been on display since 7/31 as SF patch #443474.
Flames to /dev/null.
- Add an explicit call to PyType_Ready(&PyList_Type) to pythonrun.c
(just for the heck of it, really -- we should either explicitly
ready all types, or none).
Python warning which can be catched by means of the Python warning
framework.
It also adds two new APIs which hopefully make it easier for Python
to switch to buffer overflow safe [v]snprintf() APIs for error
reporting et al. The two new APIs are PyOS_snprintf() and
PyOS_vsnprintf() and work just like the standard ones in many
C libs. On platforms which have snprintf(), the native APIs are used,
on all other an emulation with snprintf() tries to do its best.
Fix suggested by Michael Hudson: Raise TypeError if attribute name
passed to getattr() is not a string or Unicode. There is some
unfortunate duplication of code between builtin_getattr() and
PyObject_GetAttr(), but it appears to be unavoidable.
And remove all the extern decls in the middle of .c files.
Apparently, it was excluded from the header file because it is
intended for internal use by the interpreter. It's still intended for
internal use and documented as such in the header file.

(Previously, while sys.modules['foo.bar'] would exist, foo.bar would
only be created upon successful execution of bar. This is
inconvenient; some would say wrong. :-)
that 'yield' is a keyword. This doesn't help test_generators at all! I
don't know why not. These things do work now (and didn't before this
patch):
1. "from __future__ import generators" now works in a native shell.
2. Similarly "python -i xxx.py" now has generators enabled in the
shell if xxx.py had them enabled.
3. This program (which was my doctest proxy) works fine:
from __future__ import generators
source = """\
def f():
yield 1
"""
exec compile(source, "", "single") in globals()
print type(f())
that info to code dynamically compiled *by* code compiled with generators
enabled. Doesn't yet work because there's still no way to tell the parser
that "yield" is OK (unlike nested_scopes, the parser has its fingers in
this too).
Replaced PyEval_GetNestedScopes by a more-general
PyEval_MergeCompilerFlags. Perhaps I should not have? I doubted it was
*intended* to be part of the public API, so just did.
the yield statement. I figure we have to have this in before I can
release 2.2a1 on Wednesday.
Note: test_generators is currently broken, I'm counting on Tim to fix
this.
Probable fix (the bug report doesn't have enough info to say for sure).
find_init_module(): Insist on a case-sensitive match for __init__ files.
Given __INIT__.PY instead, find_init_module() thought that was fine, but
the later attempt to do find_module("__INIT__.PY") didn't and its caller
silently suppressed the resulting ImportError. Now find_init_module()
refuses to accept __INIT__.PY to begin with.
Bugfix candidate; specific to platforms with case-insensitive filesystems.
path (with no profile/trace function) through eval_code2() and
eval_frame() avoids several checks.
In the common cases of calls, returns, and exception propogation,
eval_code2() and eval_frame() used to test two values in the
thread-state: the profiling function and the tracing function. With
this change, a flag is set in the thread-state if either of these is
active, allowing a single check to suffice when both are NULL. This
also simplifies the code needed when either function is in use but is
already active (to avoid profiling/tracing the profiler/tracer); the
flag is set to 0 when the profile/trace code is entered, allowing the
same check to suffice for "already in the tracer" for call/return/
exception events.
"return expr" instances in generators (which latter may be generators
due to otherwise invisible "yield" stmts hiding in "if 0" blocks).
This was fun the first time, but this has gotten truly ugly now.
Python interpreter.
This change adds two new C-level APIs: PyEval_SetProfile() and
PyEval_SetTrace(). These can be used to install profile and trace
functions implemented in C, which can operate at much higher speeds
than Python-based functions. The overhead for calling a C-based
profile function is a very small fraction of a percent of the overhead
involved in calling a Python-based function.
The machinery required to call a Python-based profile or trace
function been moved to sysmodule.c, where sys.setprofile() and
sys.setprofile() simply become users of the new interface.
As a side effect, SF bug #436058 is fixed; there is no longer a
_PyTrace_Init() function to declare.
Implement sys.maxunicode.
Explicitly wrap around upper/lower computations for wide Py_UNICODE.
When decoding large characters with UTF-8, represent expected test
results using the \U notation.
- the correct range for the error message is range(0x110000);
- put the 4-byte Unicode-size code inside the same else branch as the
2-byte code, rather generating unreachable code in the 2-byte case.
- Don't hide the 'else' behine the '}'.
(I would prefer that in 4-byte mode, any value should be accepted, but
reasonable people can argue about that, so I'll put that off.)
Add configure option --enable-unicode.
Add config.h macros Py_USING_UNICODE, PY_UNICODE_TYPE, Py_UNICODE_SIZE,
SIZEOF_WCHAR_T.
Define Py_UCS2.
Encode and decode large UTF-8 characters into single Py_UNICODE values
for wide Unicode types; likewise for UTF-16.
Remove test whether sizeof Py_UNICODE is two.
