ctypes instances no longer have the internal and undocumented
'_as_parameter_' attribute which was used to adapt them to foreign
function calls; this mechanism is replaced by a function pointer in
the type's stgdict.
In the 'from_param' class methods, try the _as_parameter_ attribute if
other conversions are not possible.
This makes the documented _as_parameter_ mechanism work as intended.
Change the ctypes version number to 1.0.1.
Replace UnicodeDecodeErrors raised during == and !=
compares of Unicode and other objects with a new
UnicodeWarning.
All other comparisons continue to raise exceptions.
Exceptions other than UnicodeDecodeErrors are also left
untouched.
were failing due to inappropriate clipping of numbers larger than 2**31
with new-style classes. (typeobject.c) In reviewing the code for classic
classes, there were 2 problems. Any negative value return could be returned.
Always return -1 if there was an error. Also make the checks similar
with the new-style classes. I believe this is correct for 32 and 64 bit
boxes, including Windows64.
Add a test of classic classes too.
I modified this patch some by fixing style, some error checking, and adding
XXX comments. This patch requires review and some changes are to be expected.
I'm checking in now to get the greatest possible review and establish a
baseline for moving forward. I don't want this to hold up release if possible.
The first hunk changes the colon to an ! like other Windows variants.
We need to always wait on the child so the lock gets released and
no other tests fail. This is the try/finally in the second hunk.
PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(): internal correctness changes wrt
refcount safety and deadlock avoidance. Also added a basic test
case (relying on ctypes) and repaired the docs.
In the 2.5 development cycle, MAKE_CLOSURE as changed to take free
variables as a tuple rather than as individual items on the stack.
Closes patch #1534084.
on each iteration. I'm not positive this is the best way to handle
this. I'm also not sure that there aren't other cases where
the lnotab is generated incorrectly. It would be great if people
that use pdb or tracing could test heavily.
Also:
* Remove dead/duplicated code that wasn't used/necessary
because we already handled the docstring prior to entering the loop.
* add some debugging code into the compiler (#if 0'd out).
This provides the proper warning for struct.pack().
PyErr_Warn() is now deprecated in favor of PyErr_WarnEx().

41667, 41668 - initial switch to xmlcore
47044 - mention of xmlcore in What's New
50687 - mention of xmlcore in the library reference
re-apply xmlcore changes to xml:
41674 - line ending changes (re-applied manually), directory props
41677 - add cElementTree wrapper
41678 - PSF licensing for etree
41812 - whitespace normalization
42724 - fix svn:eol-style settings
43681, 43682 - remove Python version-compatibility cruft from minidom
46773 - fix encoding of \r\n\t in attr values in saxutils
47269 - added XMLParser alias for cElementTree compatibility
additional tests were added in Lib/test/test_sax.py that failed with
the xmlcore changes; these relate to SF bugs #1511497, #1513611
with PEP 302. This was fixed by adding an ``imp.NullImporter`` type that is
used in ``sys.path_importer_cache`` to cache non-directory paths and avoid
excessive filesystem operations during imports.
inspect.py, and pydoc.py. Specifically, this allows for querying the type of
an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting
their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function.
This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides
definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module.
These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and
types.MemberDescriptorType. Query functions are provided as
inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor(). The
implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations
other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types.
The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates.
I commit these changes now under these guiding principles:
1. Silence is assent. The release manager has not said "no", and of the few
people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0".
2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a
forcing function. :)
Windows build patches will follow.
In general, C doesn't define anything about what happens when
an operation on a signed integral type overflows, and PyOS_strtol()
did several formally undefined things of that nature on signed
longs. Some version of gcc apparently tries to exploit that now,
and PyOS_strtol() could fail to detect overflow then.
Tried to repair all that, although it seems at least as likely to me
that we'll get screwed by bad platform definitions for LONG_MIN
and/or LONG_MAX now. For that reason, I don't recommend backporting
this.
Note that I have no box on which this makes a lick of difference --
can't really test it, except to note that it didn't break anything
on my boxes.
Silent change: PyOS_strtol() used to return the hard-coded 0x7fffffff
in case of overflow. Now it returns LONG_MAX. They're the same only on
32-bit boxes (although C doesn't guarantee that either ...).
This adds a new key definition for OSX, which is slightly different from the
classic mac definition.
Also add NEWS item for a couple of bugfixes I added recently.
points out there are really two types of continued headers defined in this
RFC (i.e. "encoded" parameters with the form "name*0*=" and unencoded
parameters with the form "name*0="), but we were were handling them both the
same way and that isn't correct.
This patch should be much more RFC compliant in that only encoded params are
%-decoded and the charset/language information is only extract if there are
any encoded params in the segments. If there are no encoded params then the
RFC says that there will be no charset/language parts.
Note however that this will change the return value for Message.get_param() in
some cases. For example, whereas before if you had all unencoded param
continuations you would have still gotten a 3-tuple back from this method
(with charset and language == None), you will now get just a string. I don't
believe this is a backward incompatible change though because the
documentation for this method already indicates that either return value is
possible and that you must do an isinstance(val, tuple) check to discriminate
between the two. (Yeah that API kind of sucks but we can't change /that/
without breaking code.)
Test cases, some documentation updates, and a NEWS item accompany this patch.
Moved the code for _PyThread_CurrentFrames() up, so it's no longer
in a huge "#ifdef WITH_THREAD" block (I didn't realize it /was/ in
one).
Changed test_sys's test_current_frames() so it passes with or without
thread supported compiled in.
Note that test_sys fails when Python is compiled without threads,
but for an unrelated reason (the old test_exit() fails with an
indirect ImportError on the `thread` module). There are also
other unrelated compilation failures without threads, in extension
modules (like ctypes); at least the core compiles again.
Do we really support --without-threads? If so, there are several
problems remaining.
of values in the time tuple passed in. Unfortunately people came to rely on
undocumented behaviour of setting unneeded values to 0, regardless of if it was
within the valid range. Now those values force the value internally to the
minimum value when 0 is passed in.
'Extension Modules' section where they belong, probably.
This destroyes the original order of the news entries, don't know
if that is important or not.
/F wrote the text docs, Englebert Gruber massaged it to latex and I
did some more massaging to try and improve the consistency and
fix some name mismatches between the declaration and text.
str() or repr()) would work, just not multi-value tuples. Probably not a
backport candidate, since it changes the behaviour of passing a
single-element tuple:
>>> string.Template("$foo").substitute(dict(foo=(1,)))
'(1,)'
versus
'1'
be called at the end of each test that spawns children (perhaps it
should be called from regrtest instead?). This will hopefully prevent
some of the unexplained failures in the buildbots (hppa and alpha)
during tests that spawn children. The problems were not reproducible.
There were many zombies that remained at the end of several tests.
In the worst case, this shouldn't cause any more problems,
though it may not help either. Time will tell.
omit a default "error" argument for NULL pointer. This allows
the parser to take a codec from cjkcodecs again.
