* - A type can now inherit its metatype from its base type. Previously,Guido van Rossum2002-04-081-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | when PyType_Ready() was called, if ob_type was found to be NULL, it was always set to &PyType_Type; now it is set to base->ob_type, where base is tp_base, defaulting to &PyObject_Type. - PyType_Ready() accidentally did not inherit tp_is_gc; now it does. Bugfix candidate.

| | | | | | This patch makes it possible to pass Warning instances as the first argument to warnings.warn. In this case the category argument will be ignored. The message text used will be str(warninginstance).

| | | | | | | | | implementation to match the documentation for py-honor-comment-indentation w.r.t. not nil or t value. In that case it should still ignore ## for indentation purposes. Closes SF bug #523825, w/ patch provided by Christian Stork (mod'd by Barry). Python 2.2.1 candidate.
* "Fix" for SF bug #520644: __slots__ are not pickled.Guido van Rossum2002-03-141-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | As promised in my response to the bug report, I'm not really fixing it; in fact, one could argule over what the proper fix should do. Instead, I'm adding a little magic that raises TypeError if you try to pickle an instance of a class that has __slots__ but doesn't define or override __getstate__. This is done by adding a bozo __getstate__ that always raises TypeError. Bugfix candidate (also the checkin to typeobject.c, of course).

* file_truncate(): provide full "large file" support on Windows, byTim Peters2002-03-111-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dropping MS's inadequate _chsize() function. This was inspired by SF patch 498109 ("fileobject truncate support for win32"), which I rejected. libstdtypes.tex: Someone who knows should update the availability blurb. For example, if it's available on Linux, it would be good to say so. test_largefile: Uncommented the file.truncate() tests, and reworked to do more. The old comment about "permission errors" in the truncation tests under Windows was almost certainly due to that the file wasn't open for *write* access at this point, so of course MS wouldn't let you truncate it. I'd be appalled if a Unixish system did. CAUTION: Someone should run this test on Linux (etc) too. The truncation part was commented out before. Note that test_largefile isn't run by default.
* Patch #50002: Display line information for bad \x escapes:Martin v. Löwis2002-03-031-0/+3
| | | | | | - recognize "SyntaxError"s by the print_file_and_line attribute. - add the syntaxerror attributes to all exceptions in compile.c. Fixes #221791
* SF patch 514641 (Naofumi Honda) - Negative ob_size of LongObjectsGuido van Rossum2002-03-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Due to the bizarre definition of _PyLong_Copy(), creating an instance of a subclass of long with a negative value could cause core dumps later on. Unfortunately it looks like the behavior of _PyLong_Copy() is quite intentional, so the fix is more work than feels comfortable. This fix is almost, but not quite, the code that Naofumi Honda added; in addition, I added a test case.

* SF patch 518765 (Derek Harland): Bug in copy.py when used throughGuido van Rossum2002-02-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | rexec. When using a restricted environment, imports of copy will fail with an AttributeError when trying to access types.CodeType. Bugfix candidate (all the way back to 1.5.3, but at least 2.1.3 and 2.2.1).
* SF patch 522961: Leak in Python/thread_nt.h, from Gerald S. Williams.Tim Peters2002-02-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | A file-static "threads" dict mapped thread IDs to Windows handles, but was never referenced, and entries never got removed. This gets rid of the YAGNI-dict entirely. Bugfix candidate.

* Break SSL support out of _socket module and place it into a newMarc-André Lemburg2002-02-161-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | helper module _ssl. The support for the RAND_* APIs in _ssl is now only enabled for OpenSSL 0.9.5 and up since they were added in that release. Note that socketmodule.* should really be renamed to _socket.* -- unfortunately, this seems to lose the CVS history of the file. Please review and test... I was only able to test the header file chaos in socketmodule.c/h on Linux. The test run through fine and compiles don't give errors or warnings. WARNING: This patch does *not* include changes to the various non-Unix build process files.
