* Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situationsSkip Montanaro2002-12-081-0/+4
| | | | | | | | this can result in significantly smaller files. All classes as well as the open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to False for backward compatibility. Added a small test suite, updated the libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.

* Try linking the static Sleepycat lib into _bsddb.pyd. Hard to sayTim Peters2002-11-231-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | whether this is a correct thing to do: + There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt). + test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now. + test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too. Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled the Windows installer accordingly.

* SF patch 637176: list.sort crasherTim Peters2002-11-121-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation. The dreaded internal "immutable list type" is gone! OTOH, if you look at a list *while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty. Better than a core dump.
* SF patch 629637: Add sample(population, k) method to the random module.Raymond Hettinger2002-11-121-0/+3

* Fixed sre bug "[#581080] Provoking infinite scanner loops".Gustavo Niemeyer2002-11-071-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This bug happened because: 1) the scanner_search and scanner_match methods were not checking the buffer limits before increasing the current pointer; and 2) SRE_SEARCH was using "if (ptr == end)" as a loop break, instead of "if (ptr >= end)". * Modules/_sre.c (SRE_SEARCH): Check for "ptr >= end" to break loops, so that we don't hang forever if a pointer passing the buffer limit is used. (scanner_search,scanner_match): Don't increment the current pointer if we're going to pass the buffer limit. * Misc/NEWS Mention the fix.
* Add --check-tkinter to setup.py. Install IDLE. Fixes #634078.Martin v. Löwis2002-11-061-0/+2

* Fixed bug "[#466200] ability to specify a 'verify' script".Gustavo Niemeyer2002-11-061-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | * Lib/distutils/command/bdist_rpm.py (bdist_rpm.initialize_options): Included verify_script attribute. (bdist_rpm.finalize_package_data): Ensure that verify_script is a filename. (bdist_rpm._make_spec_file): Included verify_script in script_options tuple. * Misc/NEWS Mention change.
* Add next() and __iter__() methods to StreamReader, StreamReaderWriterWalter Dörwald2002-11-061-0/+3
| | | | | | and StreamRecoder. This closes SF bug #634246.
* Fixed bug #470582, using a modified version of patch #527371,Gustavo Niemeyer2002-11-061-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | from Greg Chapman. * Modules/_sre.c (lastmark_restore): New function, implementing algorithm to restore a state to a given lastmark. In addition to the similar algorithm used in a few places of SRE_MATCH, restore lastindex when restoring lastmark. (SRE_MATCH): Replace lastmark inline restoring by lastmark_restore(), function. Also include it where missing. In SRE_OP_MARK, set lastindex only if i > lastmark. * Lib/test/re_tests.py * Lib/test/test_sre.py Included regression tests for the fixed bugs. * Misc/NEWS Mention fixes.

* Another round on SF patch 618135: gzip.py and files > 2GTim Peters2002-11-051-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | The last round boosted "the limit" from 2GB to 4GB. This round gets rid of the 4GB limit. For files > 4GB, gzip stores just the last 32 bits of the file size, and now we play along with that too. Tested by hand (on a 6+GB file) on Win2K. Boosting from 2GB to 4GB was arguably enough "a bugfix". Going beyond that smells more like "new feature" to me.
* Patch implementing bz2 module.Gustavo Niemeyer2002-11-051-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * setup.py (PyBuildExt.detect_modules): Included bz2 module detection. * Modules/bz2module.c * Lib/test/test_bz2.py * Doc/lib/libbz2.tex Included files implementing, testing, and documenting bz2 module. * Doc/Makefile.deps * Doc/lib/lib.tex Include references to libbz2.tex. * Misc/NEWS (Library): Mention distutils' c++ linkage patch, and new bz2 module.
* Related to SF patch 618135: gzip.py and files > 2G.Tim Peters2002-11-041-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixed the signed/unsigned confusions when dealing with files >= 2GB. 4GB is still a hard limitation of the gzip file format, though. Testing this was a bitch on Win98SE due to frequent system freezes. It didn't freeze while running gzip, it kept freezing while trying to *create* a > 2GB test file! This wasn't Python's doing. I don't know of a reasonable way to test this functionality in regrtest.py, so I'm not checking in a test case (a test case would necessarily require creating a 2GB+ file first, using gzip to zip it, using gzip to unzip it again, and then compare before-and-after; so >4GB free space would be required, and a loooong time; I did all this "by hand" once). Bugfix candidate, I guess.
