ntpath.join('a', '') was producing 'a' instead of 'a\\' as in 2.1.
Impossible to guess what was ever *intended*, but since split('a\\')
produces ('a', ''), I think it's best if join('a', '') gives 'a\\' back.
__getaddr(): Watch out for empty addresses that can happen when
something like "MAIL FROM:<CR>" is received. This avoids the
IndexError and rightly returns an SMTP syntax error.
parseargs(): We didn't handle the 2-arg case where both the localspec
and the remotespec were provided on the command line.
and NEWS. Bugfix candidate? That's a dilemma for Anthony <wink>: /F
did fix a longstanding bug here, but the fix can cause code to raise an
exception that previously worked by accident.
test_commands does not work on IRIX
It assumes the output of "ls /bin/ls" is a line
that starts with a '-'. On IRIX that file is
a symbolic link, so the first character is an l.
This causes test_getstatus to fail.
dictionary instead of building a new one, and provide an overridable method
to allow subclasses to catch ADD_INFO records that are not part of the
initial block of ADD_INFO records created by the profiler itself.
And SF patch 473223 -- infinite getattr loop
Wrap select() and poll() calls with try/except for EINTR. If EINTR is
raised, treat as a response where no fd is ready.
In dispatcher constructor, make sure self.socket is always
initialized.
outer level, the iterator protocol is used for memory-efficiency (the
outer sequence may be very large if fully materialized); at the inner
level, PySequence_Fast() is used for time-efficiency (these should
always be sequences of length 2).
dictobject.c, new functions PyDict_{Merge,Update}FromSeq2. These are
wholly analogous to PyDict_{Merge,Update}, but process a sequence-of-2-
sequences argument instead of a mapping object. For now, I left these
functions file static, so no corresponding doc changes. It's tempting
to change dict.update() to allow a sequence-of-2-seqs argument too.
Also changed the name of dictionary's keyword argument from "mapping"
to "x". Got a better name? "mapping_or_sequence_of_pairs" isn't
attractive, although more so than "mosop" <wink>.
abstract.h, abstract.tex: Added new PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE function,
much faster than going thru the all-purpose PySequence_Size.
libfuncs.tex:
- Document dictionary().
- Fiddle tuple() and list() to admit that their argument is optional.
- The long-winded repetitions of "a sequence, a container that supports
iteration, or an iterator object" is getting to be a PITA. Many
months ago I suggested factoring this out into "iterable object",
where the definition of that could include being explicit about
generators too (as is, I'm not sure a reader outside of PythonLabs
could guess that "an iterator object" includes a generator call).
- Please check my curly braces -- I'm going blind <0.9 wink>.
abstract.c, PySequence_Tuple(): When PyObject_GetIter() fails, leave
its error msg alone now (the msg it produces has improved since
PySequence_Tuple was generalized to accept iterable objects, and
PySequence_Tuple was also stomping on the msg in cases it shouldn't
have even before PyObject_GetIter grew a better msg).
