* SF bug #778964: bad seed in python 2.3 randomRaymond Hettinger2003-08-091-0/+4
| | | | | | | The default seed is time.time(). Multiplied by 256 before truncating so that fractional seconds are used. This way, two successive calls to random.seed() are much more likely to produce different sequences.

* SF bug 778400: IDLE hangs when selecting "Edit with IDLE".Tim Peters2003-07-291-0/+5
| | | | | | | | The fix is confined to the Windows installer. Not a bugfix candidate: the need for the new -n switch added here was introduced by moving to the idlefork IDLE (so this change isn't needed or helpful before 2.3).

| | | | | | This makes test_coercion pass on Panther. Also added a note to NEWS that pythonw works again (it was broken in rc1).
* Change the zipimport implementation to accept files containingThomas Heller2003-07-221-0/+4

| | | | | | | | | | 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.
