With imgfile already removed in Python 3.0 and rgbimg gone in Python 2.6 the unit tests themselves were made worthless. Plus third-party libraries perform the same function much better. ................ r55469 | neal.norwitz | 2007-05-20 11:28:20 -0700 (Sun, 20 May 2007) | 118 lines Merged revisions 55324-55467 via svnmerge from svn+ssh://pythondev@svn.python.org/python/trunk ........ r55348 | georg.brandl | 2007-05-15 13:19:34 -0700 (Tue, 15 May 2007) | 4 lines HTML-escape the plain traceback in cgitb's HTML output, to prevent the traceback inadvertently or maliciously closing the comment and injecting HTML into the error page. ........ r55372 | neal.norwitz | 2007-05-15 21:33:50 -0700 (Tue, 15 May 2007) | 6 lines Port rev 55353 from Guido: Add what looks like a necessary call to PyErr_NoMemory() when PyMem_MALLOC() fails. Will backport. ........ r55377 | neal.norwitz | 2007-05-15 22:06:33 -0700 (Tue, 15 May 2007) | 1 line Mention removal of some directories for obsolete platforms ........ r55380 | brett.cannon | 2007-05-15 22:50:03 -0700 (Tue, 15 May 2007) | 2 lines Change the maintainer of the BeOS port. ........ r55383 | georg.brandl | 2007-05-16 06:44:18 -0700 (Wed, 16 May 2007) | 2 lines Bug #1719995: don't use deprecated method in sets example. ........ r55386 | neal.norwitz | 2007-05-16 13:05:11 -0700 (Wed, 16 May 2007) | 5 lines Fix bug in marshal where bad data would cause a segfault due to lack of an infinite recursion check.

Some subclasses were directly accessing the message attribute instead of using the descriptor. ........ r55396 | neal.norwitz | 2007-05-16 23:11:36 -0700 (Wed, 16 May 2007) | 4 lines Reduce the max stack depth to see if this fixes the segfaults on Windows and some other boxes. If this is successful, this rev should be backported. I'm not sure how close to the limit we should push this. ........ r55397 | neal.norwitz | 2007-05-16 23:23:50 -0700 (Wed, 16 May 2007) | 4 lines Set the depth to something very small to try to determine if the crashes on Windows are really due to the stack size or possibly some other problem. ........ r55398 | neal.norwitz | 2007-05-17 00:04:46 -0700 (Thu, 17 May 2007) | 4 lines Last try for tweaking the max stack depth. 5000 was the original value, 4000 didn't work either. 1000 does work on Windows. If 2000 works, that will hopefully be a reasonable balance. ........ r55412 | fred.drake | 2007-05-17 12:29:58 -0700 (Thu, 17 May 2007) | 1 line fix argument name in documentation; match the implementation ........ r55427 | neal.norwitz | 2007-05-17 22:47:16 -0700 (Thu, 17 May 2007) | 1 line Verify neither dumps or loads overflow the stack and segfault. ........ r55446 | collin.winter | 2007-05-18 16:11:24 -0700 (Fri, 18 May 2007) | 1 line Backport PEP 3110's new 'except' syntax to 2.6. ........ r55448 | raymond.hettinger | 2007-05-18 18:11:16 -0700 (Fri, 18 May 2007) | 1 line Improvements to NamedTuple's implementation, tests, and documentation ........ r55449 | raymond.hettinger | 2007-05-18 18:50:11 -0700 (Fri, 18 May 2007) | 1 line Fix beginner mistake -- don't mix spaces and tabs. ........ r55450 | neal.norwitz | 2007-05-18 20:48:47 -0700 (Fri, 18 May 2007) | 1 line Clear data so random memory does not get freed.
