* Clean up some markup a little bit more. Make this work with the PDF format,Fred Drake2001-11-161-43/+56
| | | | | which is a little more strict than the other formats on some things (fixable, but not tonight).

* Fix parsing of parameters from a URL; urlparse() did not check that it onlyFred Drake2001-11-161-34/+46
| | | | | | | | split parameters from the last path segment. Introduces two new functions, urlsplit() and urlunsplit(), that do the simpler job of splitting the URL without monkeying around with the parameters field, since that was not being handled properly. This closes bug #478038.
* Switched a couple of sections around.Fred Drake2001-11-161-245/+279
| | | | | Cleaned up some markup nits. Add a few more of the Tk-related modules to the list of modules.
* A few minor updates to make it clear(er) that pickle should be usedBarry Warsaw2001-11-151-2/+8
| | | | | | instead of marshal for object serialization. Fred, please proofread!
* A change to sync with pickle.py:Barry Warsaw2001-11-151-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | find_class(): We no longer mask all exceptions[1] by transforming them into SystemError. The latter is definitely not the right thing to do, so we let any exceptions that occur in the PyObject_GetAttr() call to simply propagate up if they occur. [1] Note that pickle only masked ImportError, KeyError, and AttributeError, but cPickle masked all exceptions.
* Two changes:Barry Warsaw2001-11-151-8/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | load_inst(): Implement the security hook that cPickle already had. When unpickling callables which are not classes, we look to see if the object has an attribute __safe_for_unpickling__. If this exists and has a true value, then we can call it to create the unpickled object. Otherwise we raise an UnpicklingError. find_class(): We no longer mask ImportError, KeyError, and AttributeError by transforming them into SystemError. The latter is definitely not the right thing to do, so we let the former three exceptions simply propagate up if they occur, i.e. we remove the try/except!
* A massive rewrite affecting both the pickle and cPickle moduleBarry Warsaw2001-11-151-232/+610

* Correct the description of mixed multiple inheritance: the codeGuido van Rossum2001-11-151-5/+3

* Don't initialize tp_type statically, it won't work on Windows. SpottedJack Jansen2001-11-141-1/+1
| | | | by Thomas Heller (patch 459442).
* OSX tests used specific version numbers to test for new features andJack Jansen2001-11-142-21/+21
| | | | | | | | | used the default Darwin/* for the old code. Reversed those tests so that compatibility code is in a switch leg with a specific version and newer systems take the default leg. This should allow Python to build on OSX 10.1.1 (which jumps from Darwin/1.4 to Darwin/5.1 due to a new numbering scheme).
* Removed print that executes only on Unix boxes; that made it impossibleTim Peters2001-11-131-2/+2
| | | | to have single "expected output" file.
* CVS patch #477161: New "access" keyword for mmap, from Jay T Miller.Tim Peters2001-11-135-145/+412
| | | | | | | | | | This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write- through and copy-on-write mmaps. A new keyword argument is introduced because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick. The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward- compatibility issue here.
* PyOS_getsig(), PyOS_setsig(): The minimal amount of work to avoid theBarry Warsaw2001-11-131-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | uninitialized memory reads reported in bug #478001. Note that this doesn't address the following larger issues: - Error conditions are not documented for PyOS_*sig() in the C API. - Nothing that actually calls PyOS_*sig() in the core interpreter and extension modules actually /checks/ the return value of the call. Fixing those is left as an exercise for a later day.
