This is a conservative version of SF patch 504889. It uses the log
module instead of calling print in various places, and it ignores the
verbose argument passed to many functions and set as an attribute on
some objects. Instead, it uses the verbosity set on the logger via
the command line.
The log module is now preferred over announce() and warn() methods
that exist only for backwards compatibility.
XXX This checkin changes a lot of modules that have no test suite and
aren't exercised by the Python build process. It will need
substantial testing.
While I was at it, I added a tp_clear handler and changed the
tp_dealloc handler to use the clear_slots helper for the tp_clear
handler.
Also tightened the rules for slot names: they must now be proper
identifiers (ignoring the dirty little fact that <ctype.h> is locale
sensitive).
Also set mp->flags = READONLY for the __weakref__ pseudo-slot.
Most of this is a 2.2 bugfix candidate; I'll apply it there myself.
# XXX this isn't used anywhere, and worse, it has the same name as a method
# in Command with subtly different semantics. (This one just has one
# source -> one dest; that one has many sources -> one dest.) Nuke it?
Yes. Nuke it.
modules, distutils does not understand that the build version of the
source tree is needed.
This patch fixes distutils.sysconfig to understand that the running
Python is part of the build tree and needs to use the appropriate
"shape" of the tree. This does not assume anything about the current
directory, so can be used to build 3rd-party modules using Python's
build tree as well.
This is useful since it allows us to use a non-installed debug-mode
Python with 3rd-party modules for testing. It as the side-effect that
set_python_build() is no longer needed (the hack which was added to
allow distutils to be used to build the "standard" extension modules).
This closes SF patch #547734.
BOM_UTF32, BOM_UTF32_LE and BOM_UTF32_BE that represent the Byte
Order Mark in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings for little and
big endian systems.
The old names BOM32_* and BOM64_* were off by a factor of 2.
This closes SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/555360
This patch complies with the following request found
near the top of configure.in:
# This is for stuff that absolutely must end up in pyconfig.h.
# Please use pyport.h instead, if possible.
I tested this patch under Cygwin, Win32, and Red
Hat Linux. Python built and ran successfully on
each of these platforms.
Change the module constructor (module_init) to have the signature
__init__(name:str, doc=None); this prevents the call from type_new()
to succeed. While we're at it, prevent repeated calling of
module_init for the same module from leaking the dict, changing the
semantics so that __dict__ is only initialized if NULL.
Also adding a unittest, test_module.py.
This is an incompatibility with 2.2, if anybody was instantiating the
module class before, their argument list was probably empty; so this
can't be backported to 2.2.x.

Rewrote the subsection on coercion rules (and made it a proper
subsection, with a label). The new section is much less precise,
because precise rules would be too hard to give (== I don't know what
they are any more :-). OTOH, the new section gives much more
up-to-date information.
Also noted that __coerce__ may return NotImplemented, with the same
meaning as None.
I beg Fred forgiveness: my use of \code{} is probably naive. Please
fix this and other markup nits. An index entry would be nice.
This could be a 2.2 bugfix candidate, if we bother about old docs
(Fred?)
The HTTPError class tries to act as a regular response objects for
HTTP protocol errors that include full responses. If the failure is
more basic, like no valid response, the __init__ choked when it tried
to initialize its superclasses in addinfourl hierarchy that requires a
valid response.
The solution isn't elegant but seems to be effective. Do not
initialize the base classes if there isn't a file object containing
the response. In this case, user code expecting to use the addinfourl
methods will fail; but it was going to fail anyway.
It might be cleaner to factor out HTTPError into two classes, only one
of which inherits from addinfourl. Not sure that the extra complexity
would lead to any improved functionality, though.
Partial fix for SF bug # 563665.
Bug fix candidate for 2.1 and 2.2.
-f/--fromfile <filename>
option. This runs all and only the tests named in the file, in the
order given (although -x may weed that list, and -r may shuffle it).
Lines starting with '#' are ignored.
This goes a long way toward helping to automate the binary-search-like
procedure I keep reinventing by hand when a test fails due to interaction
among tests (no failure in isolation, and some unknown number of
predecessor tests need to run first -- now you can stick all the test
names in a file, and comment/uncomment blocks of lines until finding a
minimal set of predecessors).
