- IMPORT_NAME takes an extra argument from the stack: the relativeness of
the import. Only passed to __import__ when it's not -1.
- __import__() takes an optional 5th argument for the same thing; it
__defaults to -1 (old semantics: try relative, then absolute)
- 'from . import name' imports name (be it module or regular attribute)
from the current module's *package*. Likewise, 'from .module import name'
will import name from a sibling to the current module.
- Importing from outside a package is not allowed; 'from . import sys' in a
toplevel module will not work, nor will 'from .. import sys' in a
(single-level) package.
- 'from __future__ import absolute_import' will turn on the new semantics
for import and from-import: imports will be absolute, except for
from-import with dots.
Includes tests for regular imports and importhooks, parser changes and a
NEWS item, but no compiler-package changes or documentation changes.
This was started by Mike Bland and completed by Guido
(with help from Neal).
This still needs a __future__ statement added;
Thomas is working on Michael's patch for that aspect.
There's a small amount of code cleanup and refactoring
in ast.c, compile.c and ceval.c (I fixed the lltrace
behavior when EXT_POP is used -- however I had to make
lltrace a static global).
breaks the parser module, because it adds the if/else construct as well as
two new grammar rules for backward compatibility. If no one else fixes
parsermodule, I guess I'll go ahead and fix it later this week.
The TeX code was checked with texcheck.py, but not rendered. There is
actually a slight incompatibility:
>>> (x for x in lambda:0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: iteration over non-sequence
changes into
>>> (x for x in lambda: 0)
File "<stdin>", line 1
(x for x in lambda: 0)

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Since there's no way the former version can be useful, it's probably a
bugfix ;)
- The copy module now "copies" function objects (as atomic objects).
- dict.__getitem__ now looks for a __missing__ hook before raising
KeyError.
- Added a new type, defaultdict, to the collections module.
This uses the new __missing__ hook behavior added to dict (see above).
Google for: eu_ES decimal point
shows that BSD locales had the eu_ES decimal point as
a single quote (') instead of a comma (,).
This was seems to have been fixed 15 months ago, but it's not on our
Mac and presumably others. So skip this broken locale.
test suite.
For urllib2, move the import of gopherlib into the
only function that uses it: users (including the
test suite) certainly shouldn't see a deprecation
warning just because they import urllib2! If they
actually use gopher_open(), fine, _then_ they should
see a deprecation warning.
test_file to fail on Windows in reality (can't delete
a still-open file), but a new bare "except:" hid that
test_file failed on Windows, and leaving behind the
still-open TESTFN caused a cascade of bogus failures
in later tests.
So, close the file, and stop hiding failure to unlink.
readline/readlines/read/readinto, loudly break by raising ValueError, rather
than silently deliver data out of order or hitting EOF prematurely.
Probably not a bugfix candidate, even though it affects no 'working' code.
Based on lsprof (patch #1212837) by Brett Rosen and Ted Czotter.
With further editing by Michael Hudson and myself.
History in svn repo: http://codespeak.net/svn/user/arigo/hack/misc/lsprof
* Module/_lsprof.c is the internal C module, Lib/cProfile.py a wrapper.
* pstats.py updated to display cProfile's caller/callee timings if available.
* setup.py and NEWS updated.
* documentation updates in the profiler section:
- explain the differences between the three profilers that we have now
- profile and cProfile can use a unified documentation, like (c)Pickle
- mention that hotshot is "for specialized usage" now
- removed references to the "old profiler" that no longer exists
* test updates:
- extended test_profile to cover delicate cases like recursion
- added tests for the caller/callee displays
- added test_cProfile, performing the same tests for cProfile
* TO-DO:
- cProfile gives a nicer name to built-in, particularly built-in methods,
which could be backported to profile.
- not tested on Windows recently!
Not sure why/how _handlers/_handlerList is out of sync. This could
indicate a deeper problem.
In test_logging, the only absolutely necessary change to get working
was tcpserver.abort = 1. But we don't want to wait infinitely
to join the threads, so give a 2.0 second timeout.
There doesn't appear to be a need for a local abort variable
in serve_until_stopped, so just use the instance member.
Note the problem is only on HEAD, not in 2.4.
on both Unix (SVR4 and BSD) and Windows. Restores behaviour of passing -1
for anonymous memory on Unix. Use MAP_ANONYMOUS instead of _ANON since
the latter is deprecated according to Linux (gentoo) man pages.
Should we continue to allow mmap.mmap(0, length) to work on Windows?
0 is a valid fd.
Will backport bugfix portions.
tty opened by os.openpty() isn't always a tty according to os.isatty(), when
it's tested inside the process that opened it. Doesn't affect actual
functionality, as using a tty this way is rarely, if ever, useful. Ignoring
the failure allows the test for actual functionality to continue.
Will backport to 2.4-maint.
Expand set of errors caught in set_context(). Some new errors, some
old error messages changed for consistency.
Fixed error checking in generator expression code. The first set of
tests were impossible condition given the grammar. In general, the
ast code uses REQ() for those sanity checks.
Fix some error handling for augmented assignments. As comments in the
code explain, set_context() ought to work here, but I got unexpected
crashes when I tried it. Should come back to this.
Add note to Grammar that yield expression is a special case.
Add doctest cases for SyntaxErrors raised by ast.c.
before the listener was ready (on gentoo x86 buildslave). This
caused the listener to not exit normally since nobody connected to it
(waited in accept()). The exception was raised in the other thread
and the test failed.
This fix doesn't completely eliminate the race, but should make it
near impossible to trigger. Hopefully it's good enough.
