Small: Always generate a NL or NEWLINE token following a COMMENT token. The old code did not generate an NL token if the comment was on a line by itself. Large: The output of untokenize() will now match the input exactly if it is passed the full token sequence. The old, crufty output is still generated if a limited input sequence is provided, where limited means that it does not include position information for tokens. Remaining bug: There is no CONTINUATION token (\) so there is no way for untokenize() to handle such code. Also, expanded the number of doctests in hopes of eventually removing the old-style tests that compare against a golden file. Bug fix candidate for Python 2.5.1. (Sigh.) ........ r51527 | jeremy.hylton | 2006-08-23 23:26:46 +0200 (Wed, 23 Aug 2006) | 5 lines Replace dead code with an assert.

Ah well. ........ r51565 | thomas.wouters | 2006-08-24 20:40:20 +0200 (Thu, 24 Aug 2006) | 6 lines Fix SF bug #1545837: array.array borks on deepcopy. array.__deepcopy__() needs to take an argument, even if it doesn't actually use it.

This differs from the corresponding change on the 2.5 and 2.4 branches, using a less obscure approach, but one that /may/ tickle platform idiocies in their definitions of LONG_MIN. The 2.4 + 2.5 change avoided introducing a dependence on LONG_MIN, at the cost of substantially goofier code. ........ r51717 | tim.peters | 2006-09-05 04:21:19 +0200 (Tue, 05 Sep 2006) | 2 lines Whitespace normalization. ........ r51719 | tim.peters | 2006-09-05 04:22:17 +0200 (Tue, 05 Sep 2006) | 2 lines Add missing svn:eol-style property to text files. ........ r51720 | neal.norwitz | 2006-09-05 04:24:03 +0200 (Tue, 05 Sep 2006) | 2 lines Fix SF bug #1546288, crash in dict_equal. ........ r51721 | neal.norwitz | 2006-09-05 04:25:41 +0200 (Tue, 05 Sep 2006) | 1 line Fix SF #1552093, eval docstring typo (3 ps in mapping) ........ r51724 | neal.norwitz | 2006-09-05 04:35:08 +0200 (Tue, 05 Sep 2006) | 1 line This was found by Guido AFAIK on p3yk (sic) branch. ........ r51725 | neal.norwitz | 2006-09-05 04:36:20 +0200 (Tue, 05 Sep 2006) | 1 line Add a NEWS entry for str.rpartition() change ........ r51728 | neal.norwitz | 2006-09-05 04:57:01 +0200 (Tue, 05 Sep 2006) | 1 line Patch #1540470, for OpenBSD 4.0.

Sigh, I only fixed for loops the first time, not list comps and genexprs too. I couldn't find any more unpacking cases where there is a similar bug lurking. This code should be refactored to eliminate the duplication. I'm sure the listcomp/genexpr code can be refactored. I'm not sure if the for loop can re-use any of the same code though.

This change looks massive but it's mostly a re-indenting after removing some try...finally blocks. Also adds a test case that does a pack() while the mailbox is locked; this test would have turned up bugs in the original code on some platforms. In both nmh and GNU Mailutils' implementation of MH-format mailboxes, no locking is done of individual message files when renaming them. The original mailbox.py code did do locking, which meant that message files had to be opened. This code was buggy on certain platforms (found through reading the code); there were code paths that closed the file object and then called _unlock_file() on it.
