* bpo-21016: pydoc and trace use sysconfig (GH-18476)Victor Stinner2020-02-121-3/+2
| | | | | | | | bpo-21016, bpo-1294959: The pydoc and trace modules now use the sysconfig module to get the path to the Python standard library, to support uncommon installation path like /usr/lib64/python3.9/ on Fedora. Co-Authored-By: Jan Matějek <jmatejek@suse.com>

* Mark files as executable that are meant as scripts. (GH-15354)Greg Price2019-09-091-0/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the converse of GH-15353 -- in addition to plenty of scripts in the tree that are marked with the executable bit (and so can be directly executed), there are a few that have a leading `#!` which could let them be executed, but it doesn't do anything because they don't have the executable bit set. Here's a command which finds such files and marks them. The first line finds files in the tree with a `#!` line *anywhere*; the next-to-last step checks that the *first* line is actually of that form. In between we filter out files that already have the bit set, and some files that are meant as fragments to be consumed by one or another kind of preprocessor. $ git grep -l '^#!' \ | grep -vxFf <( \ git ls-files --stage \ | perl -lane 'print $F[3] if (!/^100644/)' \ ) \ | grep -ve '\.in$' -e '^Doc/includes/' \ | while read f; do head -c2 "$f" | grep -qxF '#!' \ && chmod a+x "$f"; \ done
* bpo-36045: builtins.help() now prefixes `async` for async functions (GH-12010)Dan Rose2019-05-241-3/+15
| | | | | | Previously, it was hard to tell whether a function should be awaited. It was also incorrect (per PEP 484) to put this in the type hint for coroutine functions. Added this info to the output of builtins.help and pydoc. https://bugs.python.org/issue36045

| | | | | | | Replace time.time() with time.monotonic() in tests to measure time delta. test_zipfile64: display progress every minute (60 secs) rather than every 5 minutes (5*60 seconds).
* bpo-34966: Improve support of method aliases in pydoc. (GH-9823)Serhiy Storchaka2018-11-081-4/+2

* bpo-8525: help() on a type now shows builtin subclasses (GH-5066)Sanyam Khurana2018-10-211-0/+18
| | | | | For builtin types with builtin subclasses, help() on the type now shows up to 4 of the subclasses. This partially replaces the exception hierarchy information previously displayed in Python 2.7.

* bpo-33185: Fix regression in pydoc CLI sys.path handling (GH-6419)Nick Coghlan2018-04-151-7/+39
| | | | | | | | | | The pydoc CLI assumed -m pydoc would add the empty string to sys.path, and hence got confused when it switched to adding the full initial working directory instead. This refactors the pydoc CLI path manipulation to be more testable, and ensures it won't accidentally remove the standard library directory containing pydoc itself from sys.path.
* bpo-32440: Update the docs URL to https in help() (GH-5030)oldk2017-12-281-1/+1
| | | | In pydoc.py, the reference to Python' documentation was in http. The link has been updated to use https.
* bpo-30406: Make async and await proper keywords (#1669)Jelle Zijlstra2017-10-061-1/+3
| | | Per PEP 492, 'async' and 'await' should become proper keywords in 3.7.

* bpo-31238: pydoc ServerThread.stop() now joins itself (#3151)Victor Stinner2017-08-211-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | * bpo-31238: pydoc ServerThread.stop() now joins itself ServerThread.stop() now joins itself to wait until DocServer.serve_until_quit() completes and then explicitly sets its docserver attribute to None to break a reference cycle. * Add NEWS.d entry

| * #23792: Ignore KeyboardInterrupt when the pydoc pager is active.R David Murray2015-03-291-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, if you hit ctl-c while the pager was active, the python that launched the subprocess for the pager would see the KeyboardInterrupt in the __exit__ method of the subprocess context manager where it was waiting for the subprocess to complete, ending the wait. This would leave the pager running, while the interactive interpreter, after handling the exception by printing it, would go back to trying to post a prompt...but the pager would generally have the terminal in raw mode, and in any case would be still trying to read from stdin. On some systems, even exiting python at that point would not restore the terminal mode. The problem with raw mode could also happen if ctl-C was hit when pydoc was called from the shell command line and the pager was active. Instead, we now wait on the subprocess in a loop, ignoring KeyboardInterrupt just like the pager does, until the pager actually exits. (Note: this was a regression relative to python2...in python2 the pager is called via system, and system does not return until the pager exits.)
