Also note that it isn't just Linux nice() that is broken: at least FreeBSD
and BSDI also have this problem. os.nice() should probably just be emulated
using getpriority()/setpriority(), if they are available, but I'll get to
that later.
This patch allows the readline module to build cleanly with GNU
readline 4.2 without breaking the build for earlier GNU readline
versions. The configure script checks for the presence of
rl_completion_matches in libreadline.

the new PyLong_{As,From}{Unsigned,}LongLong tests, so the bulk of the
code is in the new #include file testcapi_long.h, which generates
different code depending on how macros are set. This sucks, but I couldn't
think of anything that sucked less.

_testcapimodule.c includes testcapi_long.h.
Replaced PyLong_{As,From}{Unsigned,}LongLong guts with calls

_testcapimodule.c:
Added strong tests of PyLong_{As,From}{Unsigned,}LongLong.
Fixes SF bug #432552 PyLong_AsLongLong() problems.
Possible bugfix candidate, but the fix relies on code added to longobject
to support the new q/Q structmodule format codes.
functions. I intend to replace their guts with calls to the new
_PyLong_{As,From}ByteArray() functions, but AFAICT there's no tests for
them at all now; I also suspect PyLong_AsLongLong() isn't catching all
overflow cases, but without a std test to demonstrate that why should you
believe me <wink>.
Also added a raiseTestError() utility function.
This completes the q/Q project.
longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray: The original code had a gross bug:
the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT
significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign
bit it has else spurious overflow errors result.
test_struct.py: This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both
sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative.
NEWS: Added brief dict news while I was at it.
native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG. Standard mode
will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that
likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while
sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely
on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own;
I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long
to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP
conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8).
test_struct.py: In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests,
got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about
native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes).
libstruct.tex: In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed
later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior.

return a (C) long: PyArg_ParseTuple and Py_BuildValue may not let us get
at the size_t we really want, but C int is clearly too small for a 64-bit
box, and both the start parameter and the return value should work for
large mapped files even on 32-bit boxes. The code really needs to be
rethought from scratch (not by me, though ...).
1) it didn't obey the "start" parameter (and when it does, we must validate
the value)
2) the return value needs to be an absolute index, rather than relative to
some arbitrary point in the file

into line with typical .find() behavior)
When getting a string buffer for a string we just created, use

Platform blew up on "123".replace("123", ""). Michael Hudson pinned the

This is a candidate for all bugfix releases.
This closes SF bug #231328.
Added all constants needed to use the functions defined in this module
that are not defined elsewhere (the O_* symbols are available in the
os module). No additonal modules are needed to use this now.
PyObject_AsFileDescriptor() -- it does the same thing everywhere, so
use it the same way everyone else does so that exceptions are
consistent. This means we have less code here, and we do not need to
resort to hackish ways of getting the Python-visible function name to
fdconv().
this could cause invalid paths to be returned for AF_UNIX sockets on some
platforms (including FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE), appearantly because there is
no assurance that the address will be nul-terminated when filled in by the
kernel.
PySocketSock_recvfrom(): Use PyString_AS_STRING() to get the data pointer
of a string we create ourselves; there is no need for the extra type
check from PyString_AsString().
This closes SF bug #416573.
This patch does several things to termios:
(1) changes all functions to be METH_VARARGS
(2) changes all functions to be able to take a file object as the
first parameter, as per
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2001-February/012701.html
(3) give better error messages
(4) removes a bunch of comments that just repeat the docstrings
(5) #includes <termio.h> before #including <sys/ioctl.h> so more
#constants are actually #defined.
(6) a couple of docstring tweaks
I have tested this minimally (i.e. it builds, and
doesn't blow up too embarassingly) on OSF1/alpha and
on one of the sf compile farm's solaris boxes, and
rather more comprehansively on my linux/x86 box.
It still needs to be tested on all the other platforms
we build termios on.
This closes the code portion of SF patch #417081.
while not generally a good idea, this is used by RDF users, and works
to implement RDF-style namespace+localname concatenation as defined
in the RDF specifications. (This also corrects a backwards-compatibility
bug.)
Be more conservative while clearing out handlers; set the slot in the
self->handlers array to NULL before DECREFing the callback.
Still more adjustments to make the code style internally consistent.
OpenSSL versions beore 0.9.5. This just is too experimental to be
worth it, especially since the user would have to do some severe
hacking of the Modules/Setup file to even enable the EGD code, and
without the EGD code it would always spit out a warning on some
systems -- even when socket.ssl() is not used. Fixing that properly
is not my job; the EGD patch is clearly not so important that it
should hold up the 2.1 release.
always:
- #undef HAVE_CONFIG_H (because otherwise chardefs.h tries to include
strings.h)
- #include readline.h and history.h
and we never declare any readline function prototypes ourselves.
This makes it compile with readline 4.2, albeit with a few warnings.
Some of the remaining warnings are about completion_matches(), which
is renamed to rl_completion_matches().
I've tested it with various other versions, from 2.0 up, and they all
seem to work (some with warnings) -- but only on Red Hat Linux 6.2.
Fixing the warnings for readline 4.2 would break compatibility with
3.0 (and maybe even earlier versions), and readline doesn't seem to
have a way to test for its version at compile time, so I'd rather
leave the warnings in than break compilation with older versions.
problem reported by Neil Schemenauer on python-dev on 4/12/01, wth

It's tentative because Moshe objected, but Martin rebutted, and Moshe
seems unavailable for comments.
(Note that with OpenSSL 0.9.6a, I get a lot of compilation warnings
for socketmodule.c -- I'm assuming I can safely ignore these until 2.1
is released.)
before calling any callbacks. This is important
since the callback objects only look at themselves
to determine that they are invalide. This change
avoids a segfault when callbacks use a different
reference to an object in the process of being
deallocated.
This fixes SF bug #415660.
(with modification of existing dict elements!).
This is part of SF patch #409864: lazy fix for Pings bizarre scoping
crash.
The adaptation I made to Michael's patch was to change the error
handling to avoid masking other errors (moving the specific error
message to inside test_dict_inner()), and to insert a test for
dict==NULL at the start.
Michael Hudson suggested this fox for the Tru64 problem (SF bug
232597). It looks reasonable, it works on Tru64, and it doesn't beak
anything on Linux, so I say go for it.

belief. Removed all the tabs from the lines I added and changed, left
everything else alone.
pickled into the signed(!) 4-byte BININT format, so were getting unpickled
again as negative ints. Repaired that.
Added some minimal docs at the top about what I've learned about the pickle
format codes (little of which was obvious from staring at the code,
although that's partly because all the size-related bugs greatly obscured
the true intent of the code).
Happy side effect: because save_int() needed to grow a *proper* range
check in order to fix this bug, it can now use the more-efficient BININT1,
BININT2 and BININT formats when the long's value is small enough to fit
in a signed 4-byte int (before this, on a sizeof(long)==8 box it always
used the general INT format for negative ints).
test_cpickle works again on sizeof(long)==8 machines. test_pickle is
still busted big-time.
binary pickle, and the latter contains a pickle of a negative Python
int i written on a sizeof(long)==4 box (and whether by cPickle or
pickle.py), it's read incorrectly as i + 2**32. The patch repairs that,
and allows test_cpickle.py (to which I added a relevant test case earlier
today) to work again on sizeof(long)==8 boxes.
There's another (at least one) sizeof(long)==8 binary pickle bug, but in
pickle.py instead. That bug is still there, and test_pickle.py doesn't
catch it yet (try pickling and unpickling, e.g., 1 << 46).
where sizeof(long)==8. This *was* broken on boxes where signed right
shifts didn't sign-extend, but not elsewhere. Unfortunately, apart
from the Cray T3E I don't know of such a box, and Guido has so far
refused to buy me any Cray machines for home Python testing <wink>.
More immediately interesting would be if someone could please test
this on *any* sizeof(long)==8 box, to make sure I didn't break it.

If a module has a future statement enabling nested scopes, they are
also enable for the exec statement and the functions compile() and
execfile() if they occur in the module.
If Python is run with the -i option, which enters interactive mode
after executing a script, and the script it runs enables nested
scopes, they are also enabled in interactive mode.
XXX The use of -i with -c "from __future__ import nested_scopes" is
not supported. What's the point?
To support these changes, many function variants have been added to
pythonrun.c. All the variants names end with Flags and they take an
extra PyCompilerFlags * argument. It is possible that this complexity
will be eliminated in a future version of the interpreter in which
nested scopes are not optional.

The bug report title isn't correct, but was on the right track.
Rev 2.13 applied a patch intended to improve asinh and acosh, but the
author mistakenly replaced the body of asin with their new code for asinh.
See bug report for all the gory details.
This patch: (a) puts the "new" (as of 2.13) asinh code into the asinh
function; and, (b) repairs asin via what Abramowitz & Stegun say it should
be (which is probably the same as what 2.12 did for asin, although I got
tired of matching parentheses before being 100% sure of that -- and I don't
care! The source of the old code is a mystery, and I *know* why I picked
the new code.).

The solution doesn't use the unicode-escape encoding; that has other
problems (it seems not 100% reversible). Rather, it transforms the
input Unicode object slightly before encoding it using
raw-unicode-escape, so that the decoding will reconstruct the original
string: backslash and newline characters are translated into their
\uXXXX counterparts.
This is backwards incompatible for strings containing backslashes, but
for some of those strings, the pickling was already broken.
Note that SF bug #123634 complains specifically that cPickle fails to
unpickle the pickle for u'' (the empty Unicode string) correctly.
This was an off-by-one error in load_unicode().
XXX Ugliness: in order to do the modified raw-unicode-escape, I've
cut-and-pasted a copy of PyUnicode_EncodeRawUnicodeEscape() into this
file that also encodes '\\' and '\n'. It might be nice to migrate
this into the Unicode implementation and give this encoding a new name
('half-raw-unicode-escape'? 'pickle-unicode-escape'?); that would help
pickle.py too. But right now I can't be bothered with the necessary
infrastructural changes.
