Sorry, this list does not claim completeness. If I fixed a bug
immediately upon receiving the first complaint I usually did not
nother to make an ehtry in this file, unless it was a serious bug
(core dump or infinite loop).
==> Status indicators: (-) not fixed; (?) fix proposed but not
confirmed; (*) fixed.
======================================================================
BUGS found in 1.0.3
-------------------
(*) vars() error message is wrong (copied from dir() obviously).
(*) socket.gethostname() is undocumented.
(*) rfc822.py: getfirst* dies when multiple headers occur
(-) urllib caching is wrong (should use date from Expires header)
(*) On a related matter: regexpr.c still has two malloc()s the results
of which are not tested for being NULL (lines 1253 and 1530). There
are also some in rgbimagemodule.c. Am I overlooking something or is
this a crasher?
(*) strop.rindex('abc', '') returns 0 instead of 3
(*) sunaudiodevmodule.o is too long!
(-) need newer DOS binary (16 bit version doesn't do default args)
(-) toplevel README needs new text on PC and Mac builds
(*) long(0x80000000) has wrong value!
======================================================================
Bugs found in 1.0.2 and not yet fixed
-------------------------------------
(-) compiler warnings about argument type of uname() on ULTRIX
machines
(-) syntax error for interactive input prints garbage instead of last
source line on some systems (e.g. AIX)
(?) (maybe) a bad .pyc file (with old magic number) causes the .py
file to be ignored
(-) Sunos4.0.2 / 386 configure bugs:
- timelocal instead of mktime
- unistd.h doesn't declare some functions
Bugs found in 1.0.2 and fixed in 1.0.3
--------------------------------------
(*) nasty bug in string formatting (see test_types.py, search for %)
(*) if a triple-quoted string ends in a quote followed by a newline
(followed immediately by the terminating 3 quotes) then a syntax error
or system error ensues
(*) bug in socket.listen: clipping backlog to >= 1 doesn't work
(*) two bogus XDEL's in Modules/regexmodule.reg_dealloc()
(*) Parser/myreadline.my_fgets: #endif EINTR misplaced
(*) new IP address for ftp.cwi.nl !!!
(*) typing vars() to interactive prompt runs into infinite loop
because of '_'
(*) tokenizer/tok_nextc() runs into infinite loop when file does not
end in linefeed
(*) Sunos4.0.2 / 386 configure bugs:
(*) - use size_t at some places without including sys/types.h
(*) - missing clock_t
(*) - uses SEEK_SET in some places that don't include unistd.h
======================================================================
Bugs found in 1.0.1 and not yet fixed
-------------------------------------
(-) modsupport.c(vmkvalue): on systems where va_list is an array, the
calls to do_mkvalue and do_mktuple don't want an "&" before va.
(?) threads are slow on Solaris 2
(?) threads cause myreadline.c's readline() to think it sees an EOF.
(-) min() on PC version generates wrong result (i.e. same as max())
[this happens on SoftPC -- don't know about other systems]
(-) flp.py cache bug: if the cache only contains one form, asking for
all forms returns only the cashed form
Bugs found in 1.0.1 and fixed in 1.0.2
--------------------------------------
(*) core dump when parser.parsefile() called
(*) man page contains a mess before -d option
(*) threads don't work on IRIX 4
(*) wrong cast of svideo_getattr in svmodule.c
(*) bad return value in runpython.c's run_tty_1()
(*) creating dict of 100,000 objects gets MemoryError or dumps core
(*) freeze script doesn't work
======================================================================
BUGS found in 1.0.0 and not yet fixed
-------------------------------------
(?) On NeXT, need to define _POSIX_SOURCE.
(?) there appears to be something wrong with gcc and -ldl on some
SunOS 4.1.3 systems
(-) jredfords reports core dump with float literals
BUGS found in 1.0.0 and fixed in 1.0.1
--------------------------------------
(*) On SGI IRIX 4 using cc, compilation errors in md5module.c.
(*) In cdmodule.c, getattr initialized with (destructor)!
(*) Lib/tzparse.py runs test() on import
(*) Lib/filewin.py belongs in Lib/stdwin
(*) lib and man install targets don't use $(srcdir)
(*) Modules/rgbimgmodule.c: exception name contains comma instead of dot
(*) The FAQ still references misc/EXTENDING and misc/DYNLOAD etc
(*) The FAQ still describes how to work around a problem in 0.9.9 exec()
(*) Lib/aifc.py, returns float rate, should be int
(*) Lib/sunau.py, incorrectly cumputes byte count from frame rate
(*) README should mention possibility of passing OPT=-g to make
(*) dynamic loading on sunos 4.1.3 must call dlopen(..., 1)
(*) use of <varargs.h> vs. <stdarg.h> should depend on
HAVE_STDARG_PROTOTYPES, not on HAVE_STDARG_H
(*) Doc/README refers to Misc/FTP which in fact does not exist any more
(*) filter(None, 'abcdefg') dumps core
(*) once you interrupt time.sleep(), there is no interrupt handler!
