PyNumber_Check, rather than trying to convert to a float. Reimplemented
writer - now raises exceptions when it sees a quotechar but neither
doublequote or escapechar are set. Doublequote results are now more
consistent (eg, single quote should generate """", rather than "",
which is ambiguous).
when this limit is reached. Limit defaults to 128k, and is changed
by module set_field_limit() method. Previously, an unmatched quote
character could result in the entire file being read into the field
buffer, potentially exhausting virtual memory.
was done because we were previously performing validation of the dialect
from python, but this is now down within the C module. Also, the method
we were using to detect classes did not work with new-style classes.
a delimiter. Previously, the 'network location' (<authority> in RFC 2396) would
become 'www.example.com?query=spam', while RFC 2396 does not allow a '?' in
<authority>. See bug #548176 for further discussion.
`glob.glob()` currently calls itself recursively to build a list of matches of
the dirname part of the pattern and then filters by the basename part. This is
effectively BFS. ``glob.glob('*/*/*/*/*/foo')`` will build a huge list of all
directories 5 levels deep even if only a handful of them contain a ``foo``
entry. A generator-based recusion would never have to store these list at once
by implementing DFS. This patch converts the `glob` function to an `iglob`
recursive generator . `glob()` now just returns ``list(iglob(pattern))``.
I also cleaned up the code a bit (reduced duplicate `has_magic()` checks and
created a second `glob0` helper func so that the main loop need not be
duplicated).
Thanks to Cherniavsky Beni for the patch!
test_threading.test_foreign_thread(): new test does a basic check that
"foreign" threads can using the threading module, and that they create
a _DummyThread instance in at least one use case. This isn't a very
good test, since a thread created by thread.start_new_thread() isn't
particularly "foreign".
trying to return a complete line even if a size parameter was given (see
http://www.python.org/sf/1076985). This leads to buffer overflows with long
source lines under Windows if e.g. cp1252 is used as the source encoding.
This patch reverts the behaviour of readline() to something that behaves more
like Python 2.3: If a size parameter is given, read() is called only once.
As a side effect of this, readline() now supports all types of linebreaks
supported by unicode.splitlines().
Note that the tokenizer is still broken and it's possible to provoke segfaults
(see http://www.python.org/sf/1089395).
