In cyclic gc, clear weakrefs to unreachable objects before allowing any
Python code (weakref callbacks or __del__ methods) to run.
This is a critical bugfix, affecting all versions of Python since weakrefs
were introduced. I'll backport to 2.3.
Briefly (from the NEWS file):
- Updates for the email package:
+ All deprecated APIs that in email 2.x issued warnings have been removed:
_encoder argument to the MIMEText constructor, Message.add_payload(),
Utils.dump_address_pair(), Utils.decode(), Utils.encode()
+ New deprecations: Generator.__call__(), Message.get_type(),
Message.get_main_type(), Message.get_subtype(), the 'strict' argument to
the Parser constructor. These will be removed in email 3.1.
+ Support for Python earlier than 2.3 has been removed (see PEP 291).
+ All defect classes have been renamed to end in 'Defect'.
+ Some FeedParser fixes; also a MultipartInvariantViolationDefect will be
added to messages that claim to be multipart but really aren't.
+ Updates to documentation.
its documentation.
* Documented that the compiled re methods are supposed to be more full
featured than their simpilified function counterparts.
* Documented the existing start and stop position arguments for the
findall() and finditer() methods of compiled regular expression objects.
* Added an optional flags argument to the re.findall() and re.finditer()
functions. This aligns their API with that for re.search() and
re.match().
today. pyconfig.h can override it if not, and can also override
Py_IS_INFINITY now. Py_IS_NAN and Py_IS_INFINITY are overridden now
for Microsoft compilers, using efficient MS-specific spellings.
When an integer is compared to a float now, the int isn't coerced to float.
This avoids spurious overflow exceptions and insane results. This should
compute correct results, without raising spurious exceptions, in all cases
now -- although I expect that what happens when an int/long is compared to
a NaN is still a platform accident.
Note that we had potential problems here even with "short" ints, on boxes
where sizeof(long)==8. There's #ifdef'ed code here to handle that, but
I can't test it as intended. I tested it by changing the #ifdef to
trigger on my 32-bit box instead.
I suppose this is a bugfix candidate, but I won't backport it. It's
long-winded (for speed) and messy (because the problem is messy). Note
that this also depends on a previous 2.4 patch that introduced
_Py_SwappedOp[] as an extern.
Suggested settings are commented out and included at the end of the file.
The goal is to have this file prevent as much as possible from deviating from the style guidelines. It is not meant to collect every cool macro possible for Python. Any useful settings for features included with Vim can be included and commented out, but anything overly extraneous should be left out.
decoding incomplete input (when the input stream is temporarily exhausted).
codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper
readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read()
has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to
return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines()
have a new argument keepends. Trailing "\n"s will be stripped from the lines
if keepends is false. Added C APIs PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful and
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16Stateful.
SF patch #1015989
The basic idea of this patch is to compute lineno attributes for all AST nodes. The actual
implementation lead to a lot of restructing and code cleanup.
The generated AST nodes now have an optional lineno argument to constructor. Remove the
top-level asList(), since it didn't seem to serve any purpose. Add an __iter__ to ast nodes.
Use isinstance() instead of explicit type tests.
Change transformer to use the new lineno attribute, which replaces three lines of code with one.
Use universal newlines so that we can get rid of special-case code for line endings. Use
lookup_node() in a few more frequently called, but simple com_xxx methods(). Change string
exception to class exception.
This checkin is adapted from part 2 (of 3) of Trevor Perrin's patch set.
BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY: SHIFT must now be divisible by 5. AFAIK,
nobody will care. long_pow() could be complicated to worm around that,
if necessary.
long_pow():
- BUGFIX: This leaked the base and power when the power was negative
(and so the computation delegated to float pow).
- Instead of doing right-to-left exponentiation, do left-to-right. This
is more efficient for small bases, which is the common case.
- In addition, if the exponent is large (more than FIVEARY_CUTOFF
digits), precompute [a**i % c for i in range(32)], and go left to
right 5 bits at a time.
l_divmod():
- The signature changed so that callers who don't want the quotient,
or don't want the remainder, can pass NULL in the slot they don't
want. This saves them from having to declare a vrbl for unwanted
stuff, and remembering to decref it.
long_mod(), long_div(), long_classic_div():
- Adjust to new l_divmod() signature, and simplified as a result.
This checkin is adapted from part 1 (of 3) of Trevor Perrin's patch set.
x_mul()
- sped a little by optimizing the C
- sped a lot (~2X) if it's doing a square; note that long_pow() squares
often
k_mul()
- more cache-friendly now if it's doing a square
KARATSUBA_CUTOFF
- boosted; gradeschool mult is quicker now, and it may have been too low
for many platforms anyway
KARATSUBA_SQUARE_CUTOFF
- new
- since x_mul is a lot faster at squaring now, the point at which
Karatsuba pays for squaring is much higher than for general mult
Mac-specific modules. Before all modules were compiled but would fail thanks
to a dependence on the code included when Python was built without the compiler
flag.
Closes bug #991962.
This patch includes test cases and documentation updates, as well as NEWS file
updates.
This patch also updates the sre modules so that they don't import the string
module, breaking direct circular imports.
happen in 2.3, but nobody noticed it still was getting generated (the
warning was disabled by default). OverflowWarning and
PyExc_OverflowWarning should be removed for 2.5, and left notes all over
saying so.
truncate() left the stream position unchanged, which meant the
"truncated" data didn't go away:
>>> io.write('abc')
>>> io.truncate(0)
>>> io.write('xyz')
>>> io.getvalue()
'abcxyz'
