* Change formatchar(), so that u"%c" % 0xffffffff now raisesWalter Dörwald2003-04-021-1/+2
| | | | | an OverflowError instead of a TypeError to be consistent with "%c" % 256. See SF patch #710127.

| | | | | | | | instead of raising a TypeError. (From SF patch #710127) Add tests to verify this is fixed. Add various tests for '%c' % int.

* The socket module now always uses the _socketobject wrapper class, even onSkip Montanaro2003-03-301-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | platforms which have dup(2). The makefile() method is built directly on top of the socket without duplicating the file descriptor, allowing timeouts to work properly. Includes a new test case (urllibnet) which requires the network resource. Closes bug 707074.

* SF bug 705836: struct.pack of floats in non-native endian orderTim Peters2003-03-201-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | pack_float, pack_double, save_float: All the routines for creating IEEE-format packed representations of floats and doubles simply ignored that rounding can (in rare cases) propagate out of a long string of 1 bits. At worst, the end-off carry can (by mistake) interfere with the exponent value, and then unpacking yields a result wrong by a factor of 2. In less severe cases, it can end up losing more low-order bits than intended, or fail to catch overflow *caused* by rounding. Bugfix candidate, but I already backported this to 2.2. In 2.3, this code remains in severe need of refactoring.
* Fixed SF bug #663074. The codec system was using global staticGustavo Niemeyer2003-03-191-0/+5

* Renamed PyObject_GenericGetIter to PyObject_SelfIterRaymond Hettinger2003-03-171-1/+1

* - The extended type structure used for heap types (new-styleGuido van Rossum2003-03-071-1/+3

* Patch #683592 revisited, after discussions with MvL:Just van Rossum2003-03-031-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir() will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode argument. - And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII. - Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing the error and fall back to a byte string.) - Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex. - Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation. This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are supposed to.
* Fix bugMichael W. Hudson2003-03-031-0/+3
| | | | | | | | [ 555817 ] Flawed fcntl.ioctl implementation. with my patch that allows for an array to be mutated when passed as the buffer argument to ioctl() (details complicated by backwards compatibility considerations -- read the docs!).
* SF bug 693121: Set == non-Set is a TypeError.Tim Peters2003-03-021-5/+12
| | | | | | | | | Allow mixed-type __eq__ and __ne__ for Set objects. This is messier than I'd like because Set *also* implements __cmp__. I know of one glitch now: cmp(s, t) returns 0 now when s and t are both Sets and s == t, despite that Set.__cmp__ unconditionally raises TypeError (and by intent). The rub is that __eq__ gets tried first, and the x.__eq__(y) True result convinces Python that cmp(x, y) is 0 without even calling Set.__cmp__.
