* Windows fix: When PYTHONCASEOK is set, or for any other reason importsTim Peters2003-07-221-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | are satisfied in a case-insensitive manner, the attempt to import (the non-existent) fcntl gets satisfied by FCNTL.py instead, and the tempfile module defines a Unix-specific _set_cloexec() function in that case. As a result, temp files can't be created then (blows up with an AttributeError trying to reference fcntl.fcntl). This just popped up in the spambayes project, where there is no apparent workaround (which is why I'm pushing this in now).

* Doctest now examines all docstrings by default. Previously, it wouldRaymond Hettinger2003-07-161-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore naming convention). The old default created too much of a risk that user tests were being skipped inadvertently. Note, this change could break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put failing tests in the docstrings of private functions. The breakage is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod() or Tester(). The more likely case is that the silent failure was unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be fixed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | behavior, creating many threads very quickly. A long debugging session revealed that the Windows implementation of PyThread_start_new_thread() was choked with "laziness" errors: 1. It checked MS _beginthread() for a failure return, but when that happened it returned heap trash as the function result, instead of an id of -1 (the proper error-return value). 2. It didn't consider that the Win32 CreateSemaphore() can fail. 3. When creating a great many threads very quickly, it's quite possible that any particular bootstrap call can take virtually any amount of time to return. But the code waited for a maximum of 5 seconds, and didn't check to see whether the semaphore it was waiting for got signaled. If it in fact timed out, the function could again return heap trash as the function result. This is actually what confused the test program, as the heap trash usually turned out to be 0, and then multiple threads all got id 0 simultaneously, confusing the hell out of threading.py's _active dict (mapping id to thread object). A variety of baffling behaviors followed from that. WRT #1 and #2, error returns are checked now, and "thread.error: can't start new thread" gets raised now if a new thread (or new semaphore) can't be created. WRT #3, we now wait for the semaphore without a timeout. Also removed useless local vrbls, folded long lines, and changed callobj to a stack auto (it was going thru malloc/free instead, for no discernible reason). Bugfix candidate.

| | | | | | | | | I won't have time to write real docs, but spent a lot of time adding comments to his code and fleshing out the exported functions' docstrings. There's probably opportunity to consolidate how docstrings get extracted too, and the new code for that is probably better than the old code for that (which strained mightily to recover from 2.2's new class/type gimmicks).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SF bug #760703: SocketHandler and LogRecord don't work well together SF bug #757821: logging module docs Applied Vinay Sajip's patch with a few minor fixups and a NEWS item. Patched __init__.py - added new function makeLogRecord (for bug report 760703). Patched handlers.py - updated some docstrings and deleted some old commented-out code. Patched test_logging.py to make use of makeLogRecord. Patched liblogging.tex to fill documentation gaps (both 760703 and bug 757821).
* A hack to ease compatibility with pre-2.3 Pythons: by default, doctestTim Peters2003-06-271-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | now accepts "True" when a test expects "1", and similarly for "False" versus "0". This is un-doctest-like, but on balance makes it much more pleasant to write doctests that pass under 2.2 and 2.3. I expect it to go away again, when 2.2 is forgotten. In the meantime, there's a new doctest module constant that can be passed to a new optional argument, if you want to turn this behavior off. Note that this substitution is very simple-minded: the expected and actual outputs have to consist of single tokens. No attempt is made, e.g., to accept [True, False] when a test expects [1, 0]. This is a simple hack for simple tests, and I intend to keep it that way.
