* Add PYTHONMALLOC env varVictor Stinner2016-03-141-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Issue #26516: * Add PYTHONMALLOC environment variable to set the Python memory allocators and/or install debug hooks. * PyMem_SetupDebugHooks() can now also be used on Python compiled in release mode. * The PYTHONMALLOCSTATS environment variable can now also be used on Python compiled in release mode. It now has no effect if set to an empty string. * In debug mode, debug hooks are now also installed on Python memory allocators when Python is configured without pymalloc.
* Merge p3yk branch with the trunk up to revision 45595. This breaks a fairThomas Wouters2006-04-211-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers): http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The tests that are expected to break are: test_codecencodings_cn test_codecencodings_hk test_codecencodings_jp test_codecencodings_kr test_codecencodings_tw test_codecs test_multibytecodec This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch, though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
