* The format of the string data used in the imageop module is describedSjoerd Mullender2004-01-101-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as "This is the same format as used by gl.lrectwrite() and the imgfile module." This implies a certain byte order in multi-byte pixel formats. However, the code was originally written on an SGI (big-endian) and *uses* the fact that bytes are stored in a particular order in ints. This means that the code uses and produces different byte order on little-endian systems. This fix adds a module-level flag "backward_compatible" (default not set, and if not set, behaves as if set to 1--i.e. backward compatible) that can be used on a little-endian system to use the same byte order as the SGI. Using this flag it is then possible to prepare SGI-compatible images on a little-endian system. This patch is the result of a (small) discussion on python-dev and was submitted to SourceForge as patch #874358.

* SF patch 852995: add processors feature to urllib2Jeremy Hylton2003-12-141-1/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | John J. Lee writes: "the patch makes it possible to implement functionality like HTTP cookie handling, Refresh handling, etc. etc. using handler objects. At the moment urllib2's handler objects aren't quite up to the job, which results in a lot of cut-n-paste and subclassing. I believe the changes are backwards-compatible, with the exception of people who've reimplemented build_opener()'s functionality -- those people would need to call opener.add_handler(HTTPErrorProcessor). The main change is allowing handlers to implement methods like: http_request(request) http_response(request, response) In addition to the usual http_open(request) http_error{_*}(...) " Note that the change isn't well documented at least in part because handlers aren't well documented at all. Need to fix this. Add a bunch of new tests. It appears that none of these tests actually use the network, so they don't need to be guarded by a resource flag.

| | | | | | | The example code did not work and could not easily be made to work. Since the docs were already complex and the feature was not used (it took two years for the errors to surface), we decided to dedocument it entirely, leaving unittest cleaner than before.
