* Bug/Patch #1481770: Use .so extension for shared libraries on HP-UX for ia64.Neal Norwitz2006-05-191-0/+2
| | | | I suppose this could be backported if anyone cares.
* Bug #1462152: file() now checks more thoroughly for invalid modeGeorg Brandl2006-05-181-0/+4

* Patch #1486962: Several bugs in the turtle Tk demo module were fixedGeorg Brandl2006-05-171-0/+3

* - Bug #1487966: Fix SystemError with conditional expression in assignmentNeal Norwitz2006-05-151-0/+2
| | | | Most of the test_syntax changes are just updating the numbers.
* Move items implemented after a2 into the new a3 sectionNeal Norwitz2006-05-151-35/+61

* Teach PyString_FromFormat, PyErr_Format, and PyString_FromFormatVTim Peters2006-05-131-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | about "%u", "%lu" and "%zu" formats. Since PyString_FromFormat and PyErr_Format have exactly the same rules (both inherited from PyString_FromFormatV), it would be good if someone with more LaTeX Fu changed one of them to just point to the other. Their docs were way out of synch before this patch, and I just did a mass copy+paste to repair that. Not a backport candidate (this is a new feature).
* Dynamically allocate path name buffer for UnicodeMartin v. Löwis2006-05-121-0/+3
| | | | | | path name in listdir. Fixes #1431582. Stop overallocating MAX_PATH characters for ANSI path names. Stop assigning to errno.
* SF patch #1473132: Improve docs for tp_clear and tp_traverse,Tim Peters2006-05-121-0/+2
| | | | | | by Collin Winter. Bugfix candidate (but I'm not going to bother).
* Change WindowsError to carry the Win32 error code in winerror,Martin v. Löwis2006-05-111-0/+5
| | | | | and the DOS error code in errno. Revert changes where WindowsError catch blocks unnecessarily special-case OSError.
* Patch #721464: pdb.Pdb instances can now be given explicit stdin andGeorg Brandl2006-05-101-0/+4
| | | | | stdout arguments, making it possible to redirect input and output for remote debugging.
* Patch #1484695: Update the tarfile module to version 0.8. This fixesGeorg Brandl2006-05-101-0/+4
| | | | | a couple of issues, notably handling of long file names using the GNU LONGNAME extension.
* Variant of patch #1478292. doctest.register_optionflag(name)Tim Peters2006-05-101-1/+4
| | | | | shouldn't create a new flag when `name` is already the name of an option flag.

* The result of SF patch #1471578: big-memory tests for strings, lists andThomas Wouters2006-04-261-0/+5
| | | | | | tuples. Lots to be added, still, but this will give big-memory people something to play with in 2.5 alpha 2, and hopefully get more people to write these tests.

* Update optparse to Optik 1.5.1.Greg Ward2006-04-231-0/+5
|
* Add Gregory K. Johnson's revised version of mailbox.py (funded byAndrew M. Kuchling2006-04-221-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the 2005 Summer of Code). The revision adds a number of new mailbox classes that support adding and removing messages; these classes also support mailbox locking and default to using email.Message instead of rfc822.Message. The old mailbox classes are largely left alone for backward compatibility. The exception is the Maildir class, which was present in the old module and now inherits from the new classes. The Maildir class's interface is pretty simple, though, so I think it'll be compatible with existing code. (The change to the NEWS file also adds a missing word to a different news item, which unfortunately required rewrapping the line.)
* SF bug #1473760 TempFile can hang on Windows.Tim Peters2006-04-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Python 2.4 changed ntpath.abspath to do an import inside the function. As a result, due to Python's import lock, anything calling abspath on Windows (directly, or indirectly like tempfile.TemporaryFile) hung when it was called from a thread spawned as a side effect of importing a module. This is a depressingly frequent problem, and deserves a more general fix. I'm settling for a micro-fix here because this specific one accounts for a report of Zope Corp's ZEO hanging on Windows, and it was an odd way to change abspath to begin with (ntpath needs a different implementation depending on whether we're actually running on Windows, and the _obvious_ way to arrange for that is not to bury a possibly-failing import _inside_ the function). Note that if/when other micro-fixes of this kind get made, the new Lib/test/threaded_import_hangers.py is a convenient place to add tests for them.
