A variety of changes from Michael Hudson to get the compiler working
with 2.3. The primary change is the handling of SET_LINENO:
# The set_lineno() function and the explicit emit() calls for
# SET_LINENO below are only used to generate the line number table.
# As of Python 2.3, the interpreter does not have a SET_LINENO
# instruction. pyassem treats SET_LINENO opcodes as a special case.
A few other small changes:
- Remove unused code from pycodegen and pyassem.
- Fix error handling in parsermodule. When PyParser_SimplerParseString()
fails, it sets an exception with detailed info. The parsermodule
was clobbering that exception and replacing it was a generic
"could not parse string" exception. Keep the original exception.
an idea from Guido. This restores that the datetime implementation
never passes a datetime d to a tzinfo method unless d.tzinfo is the
tzinfo instance whose method is being called. That in turn allows
enormous simplifications in user-written tzinfo classes (see the Python
sandbox US.py and EU.py for fully fleshed-out examples).
d.astimezone(tz) also raises ValueError now if d lands in the one hour
of the year that can't be expressed in tz (this can happen iff tz models
both standard and daylight time). That it used to return a nonsense
result always ate at me, and it turned out that it seemed impossible to
force a consistent nonsense result under the new implementation (which
doesn't know anything about how tzinfo classes implement their methods --
it can only infer properties indirectly). Guido doesn't like this --
expect it to change.
New tests of conversion between adjacent DST-aware timezones don't pass
yet, and are commented out.
Running the datetime tests in a loop under a debug build leaks 9
references per test run, but I don't believe the datetime code is the
cause (it didn't leak the last time I changed the C code, and the leak
is the same if I disable all the tests that invoke the only function
that changed here). I'll pursue that next.
devices(), stereodevices(), recdevices() ->
controls(), stereocontrols(), reccontrols()
Based on recommendation of Hannu Savolainen <hannu@opensound.com>:
The right term to use for things like bass/treble/mic/vol/etc is
"control".
"Device" refers to different mixer devices (/dev/mixer0 to /dev/mixerN).
"Channel" cannot be used because it refers to mono/stereo/multich
channels. In fact most mixer controls have left/right channels so ...
- new import hooks in import.c, exposed in the sys module
- new module called 'zipimport'
- various changes to allow bootstrapping from zip files
I hope I didn't break the Windows build (or anything else for that
matter), but then again, it's been sitting on sf long enough...
Regarding the latest discussions on python-dev: zipimport sets
pkg.__path__ as specified in PEP 273, and likewise, sys.path item such as
/path/to/Archive.zip/subdir/ are supported again.
make the callers figure out the right tzinfo arguments to pass, instead of
making the callees guess. The code is uglier this way, but it's less
brittle (when the callee guesses, the caller can get surprised).
of the timetz case. A tzinfo method will always see a datetimetz arg,
or None, now. In the former case, it's still possible that it will get
a datetimetz argument belonging to a different timezone. That will get
fixed next.
Check for readline 2.2 features. This should make it possible to
compile readline.c again with GNU readline versions 2.0 or 2.1; this
ability was removed in readline.c rev. 2.49. Apparently the older
versions are still in widespread deployment on older Solaris
installations. With an older readline, completion behavior is subtly
different (a space is always added).
* channels() -> devices()
* stereochannels() -> stereodevices()
* recchannels() -> recdevices()
* getvol() -> get()
* setvol() -> set()
This is for (slightly) more consistency with the OSS ioctl names
(READ_DEVMASK, READ_RECMASK, READ_STEREODEVS).
Also make sure the C function names correspond more closely to the
Python method names for mixer methods.
Obtain cleaner coding and a system wide
performance boost by using the fast, pre-parsed
PyArg_Unpack function instead of PyArg_ParseTuple
function which is driven by a format string.
This can cause core dumps when Python runs. Python relies on the 754-
(and C99-) mandated default "non-stop" mode for FP exceptions. This
patch from Ben Laurie disables at least one FP exception on FreeBSD at
Python startup time.
operands have identical tzinfo members (meaning object identity -- "is").
I misunderstood the intent here, reading wrong conclusion into
conflicting clues.
be trusted with years before 1900, so now we raise ValueError if a date or
datetime or datetimetz .strftime() method is called with a year before
1900.
such that the datetime tests failed if the envar PYTHON2K was set.
This is an utter mess, and the datetime module's strftime functions
inherit it. I suspect that, regardless of the PYTHON2K setting, and
regardless of platform limitations, the datetime strftime wrappers
will end up delivering nonsense results (or bogus exceptions) for
any year before 1900. I should probably just refuse to accept years
earlier than that -- else we'll have to implement strftime() by hand.
{timetz,datetimetz}.{utcoffset,dst}() now return a timedelta (or None)
instead of an int (or None).
tzinfo.{utcoffset,dst)() can now return a timedelta (or an int, or None).
Curiously, this was much easier to do in the C implementation than in the
Python implementation (which lives in the Zope3 code tree) -- the C code
already had lots of hair to extract C ints from offset objects, and used
C ints internally.
used that.
wrap_strftime(): Removed the most irritating uses of buf.
TestDate.test_ordinal_conversions(): The C implementation is fast enough
that we can afford to check the endpoints of every year. Also added
tm_yday tests at the endpoints.
