The doc string for cStringIO suggested that str() of a StringIO object
was equivalent to getvalue(). This was never true, so repair the doc
string. (doctest would have helped here.)
Bug fix candidate for any past versions.
mmap_find_method(): this obtained the string to find via s#, but it
ignored its length, acting as if it were \0-terminated instead.
Someone please run on Linux too (the extended test_mmap works on Windows).
Bugfix candidate.
over SEP, ALTSEP and MAXPATHLEN.
Patched up posixmodule.c for MSVC, but unsure what the story is now on
other non-Unixish platforms -- the preprocessor maze has no exit <wink>.
Modules/
posixmodule.c
- use SEP,ALTSEP #defines instead of hard coded path separator chars
- use EMX specific variants of chdir2(),getcwd() that support drive letters
- OS/2+EMX spawnv(),spawnve() support
- EMX specific popen[234]() derived from Win32 popen[234]() code
socketmodule.c. No code outside of the .c file references it, so it
doesn't belong the .h file (at least not yet ...), and declaring it
an imported symbol in the .h file can't be made to work on Windows (it's
a cross-DLL symbol then) without substantial code rewriting. Also
repaired the comment that goes along with the decl, to stop referring
to names and functions that haven't existed for 7 years <wink>.
socketmodule.c compiles cleanly on Windows again. The test_socket dies
at once, though (later).
helper module _ssl.
The support for the RAND_* APIs in _ssl is now only enabled
for OpenSSL 0.9.5 and up since they were added in that
release.
Note that socketmodule.* should really be renamed to _socket.* --
unfortunately, this seems to lose the CVS history of the file.
Please review and test... I was only able to test the header file
chaos in socketmodule.c/h on Linux. The test run through fine
and compiles don't give errors or warnings.
WARNING: This patch does *not* include changes to the various
non-Unix build process files.
where their capabilities intersect. Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).
[ #510644 ] test_curses segfaults
If we use the *object* *allocator*, we should use the *object* *deallocator*,
not the *raw memory* deallocator (confused yet?).
I think this was what caused segfaults when pymalloc was enabled.
Even if it wasn't the cause, it's still wrong.
2.2.1 candidate.
[ #504284 ] Last build problems on AIX
I'm ignoring the suggestion that this should be an autoconf test in the
interests of having a fix today. Feel free to quibble.
new.instancemethod() -- the instancemethod object is now a perfectly
general container.
This fixes SF bug ##503091 (Pedro Rodriquez): new.instancemethod fails
for new classes
This is a 2.2.1 candidate.
Patch from Mark Hammond, plus code rearrangement and comments from me.
posix_do_stat(): Windows-specific code could try to free() stack
memory in some cases when a path ending with a forward or backward slash
was passed to os.stat().
metaclass, reported by Dan Parisien.
Objects that are instances of custom metaclasses, i.e. whose ob_type
is a subclass of PyType_Type, should be pickled the same as new-style
classes (objects whose ob_type is PyType_Type). This can't be done
through the existing dispatch switches, and the __reduce__ trick
doesn't work for these, since it finds the unbound __reduce__ for
instances of the class (inherited from PyBaseObject_Type). So check
explicitly using PyType_IsSubtype().
binascii_b2a_base64(): We didn't allocate enough buffer space for very
short inputs (e.g., a 1-byte input can produce a 5-byte output, but we
only allocated 2 bytes). I expect that malloc overheads absorbed the
overrun in practice, but computing a correct upper bound is a very simple
change.
got a barrage of compile errors that didn't make sense to the C++ brain:
MSVC does not allow C (but does allow C++) initializers to contain
data addresses supplied by other DLLs. So changed the initializers here
to use dummy nulls, and changed module init to plug in the foreign
addresses at runtime (manually simulating what C++ does by magic). Tested
on Windows, and Guido tested on Linux (thanks!). BTW, the *point* is that
people are going to use this module as a template for writing their own
subtypes, and it's unusual for extension authors to build their extensions
into Python directly (separate DLLs are the norm on Windows); so it's
better if we give them a template that works <wink>.
work with Mac OS X Aqua-Tk, all nicely within ifdefs.
The process is not for the faint of heart, though: you need to download
and install the (alfa) Aqua-Tk, obtain a few needed X11 headers from
somewhere else and then everything builds. To run scripts using Tkinter
you must build with --enable-framework, build Python.app in Mac/OSX
and run your Tkinter scripts with that. Then, about half the tests in
Demo/tkinter work (or at least do something).
Checking this in anyway because it shouldn't break anything, and newer
versions of Aqua-Tk will streamline the process.
backed out of broken minimal repeat patch from July
also fixed a couple of minor potential resource leaks in pattern_subx
(Guido had already fixed the big one)
type.__module__ behavior.
This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're
not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.
The OSS Programmer's Reference (www.4front-tech.com)
states:
*Setting Sampling Parameters
There are three parameters which affect the sound
quality (and therefore memory and bandwidth
requirements) of sampled audio data. These are:
** sample format (sometimes called number of bits)
** number of channels (mono or stereo), and
** sampling rate (speed)
NOTE:
It is important to always set these parameters in the
above order. Setting sampling rate before the number
of channels doesn't work with all devices.

Release the global interpreter lock around platform spawn calls.
Bugfix candidate? Hard to say; I favor "yes, bugfix".
These clearly *should* have been releasing the GIL all along, if for no
other reason than compatibility with the similar os.system(). But it's
possible some program out there is (a) multithreaded, (b) calling a spawn
function with P_WAIT, and (c) relying on the spawn call to block all their
threads until the spawned program completes. I think it's very unlikely
anyone is doing that on purpose, but someone may be doing so by accident.
casts with a variable oself that has the proper type. A smart
compiler may put this thing into a register.
(I'm not sure what good this does except satisfy my desire to
understand this function; I got a report about an uninitialized read
from Insure++ about this function and it hurt my eyes to even look at
it. I gotta run away or I'll get tempted to reformat the entire
file...)
(At least for the repeatable test case that Tim produced.)
pattern_subx(): Add missing DECREF(filter) in both exit branches
(normal and error return). Also fix a DECREF(args) that should
certainly be a DECREF(match) -- because it's inside if (!args) and
right after allocation of match.
The st_future slot of the symtable is not freed by PySymtable_Free()
because it is shared by the symtable and compiling structs in
compiel.c. Since it is shared, it is explicitly deallocated when the
compiling struct is freed.
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>.
parser_tuple2st() and a failure to propogate an error in
build_node_children() (masking yet another leak, of course!).
This closes SF bug #485133 (confirmed by Insure++).
Bugfix candidate.
A numerically naive computation of output buffer size caused crashes
and spurious MemoryErrors for reasonable arguments.
audioop_ratecv(): Avoid spurious overflow by careful reworking of the
buffer size computations, triggering MemoryError if and only if the
final buffer size can't be represented in a C int (although
PyString_FromStringAndSize may legitimately raise MemoryError even if
it does fit in a C int). All reasonable arguments should work as
intended now, and all unreasonable arguments should be cuaght.
find_class(): We no longer mask all exceptions[1] by transforming them
into SystemError. The latter is definitely not the right thing to do,
so we let any exceptions that occur in the PyObject_GetAttr() call to
simply propagate up if they occur.
[1] Note that pickle only masked ImportError, KeyError, and
AttributeError, but cPickle masked all exceptions.
This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write-
through and copy-on-write mmaps. A new keyword argument is introduced
because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so
while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to
spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick.
The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward-
compatibility issue here.
