what this is trying to do. If it's necessary for it to create > 1000
processes, it should be controlled by a new resource and not run by
default on Windows.
display a test's docstring as "the name" of the test. So changed most
test docstrings to comments, and removed the clearly useless ones. Now
unittest reports the actual names of the test methods.
Bug fixes:
* Use fresh copy of globals/locals so the script being debugged can't access
the pdb namespace (e.g.: p line_prefix will no longer work).
* Remove pdb.py's path from sys.path. Having it in there is normally not a
problem, but it could prove irritating when messing with PYTHONPATH or
invoking pdb via /usr/bin/pdf.
* You can now set a breakpoint on the script being debugged, even if the script
doesn't end with a '.py' extension. Also, setting breakpoints with absolute
paths now works reliably.
Enhancements:
* Go directly to the first line of the script.
* Enter post-mortem debugging if the script being debugged doesn't catch an
exception.
* Restart the script being debugged and preserve debugger state when the script
being debugged exits.
Cleanup:
* Moved the __main__ method into a main() function.
* Kill the (undocumented, not in __all__) mainmodule/mainpyfile globals, add a
mainpyfile attribute to pdb.
Thanks Ilya Sandler for the patch!
popen2.popen2/3/4 functions can be a sequence. All texts are a variation on the
following:
On \UNIX, \var{cmd} may be a sequence, in which case arguments will be passed
directly to the program without shell intervention (as with
\function{os.spawnv()}). If \var{cmd} is a string it will be passed to the shell
(as with \function{os.system()}).
capturing_preamble but we found a StartBoundaryNotFoundDefect, we need to
consume all lines from the current position to the EOF, which we'll set as the
epilogue of the current message. If we're not at EOF when we return from
here, the outer message's capturing_preamble assertion will fail.
calling .lower() on it. This fixes the problem described in SF patch # 866982
where in the tr_TR.ISO-8859-9 locale, 'I'.lower() isn't 'i'. unicodes are
locale insensitive.
The shutils.rmtree() implementation uses an excessive amount of memory when
deleting large directory hierarchies. Before actually deleting any files, it
builds up a list of (function, filename) tuples for all the files that it is
going to remove.
Briefly (from the NEWS file):
- Updates for the email package:
+ All deprecated APIs that in email 2.x issued warnings have been removed:
_encoder argument to the MIMEText constructor, Message.add_payload(),
Utils.dump_address_pair(), Utils.decode(), Utils.encode()
+ New deprecations: Generator.__call__(), Message.get_type(),
Message.get_main_type(), Message.get_subtype(), the 'strict' argument to
the Parser constructor. These will be removed in email 3.1.
+ Support for Python earlier than 2.3 has been removed (see PEP 291).
+ All defect classes have been renamed to end in 'Defect'.
+ Some FeedParser fixes; also a MultipartInvariantViolationDefect will be
added to messages that claim to be multipart but really aren't.
+ Updates to documentation.
deque_item(): a performance bug: the linked list of blocks was followed
from the left in most cases, because the test (i < (deque->len >> 1)) was
after "i %= BLOCKLEN".
deque_clear(): replaced a call to deque_len() with deque->len; not sure what
this call was here for, nor if all compilers under the sun would inline it.
deque_traverse(): I belive that it could be called by the GC when the deque
has leftblock==rightblock==NULL, because it is tracked before the first block
is allocated (though closely before). Still, a C extension module subclassing
deque could provide its own tp_alloc that could trigger a GC collection after
the PyObject_GC_Track()...
deque_richcompare(): rewrote to cleanly check for end-of-iterations instead of
relying on deque.__iter__().next() to succeed exactly len(deque) times -- an
assumption which can break if deques are subclassed. Added a test.
I wonder if the length should be explicitely bounded to INT_MAX, with
OverflowErrors, as in listobject.c. On 64-bit machines, adding more than
INT_MAX in the deque will result in trouble. (Note to anyone/me fixing
this: carefully check for overflows if len is close to INT_MAX in the
following functions: deque_rotate(), deque_item(), deque_ass_item())
request. Tim says that "correct 'fuzzy' comparison of floats cannot
be automated." (The motivation behind adding the new option
was verifying interactive examples in Python's latex documentation;
several such examples use numbers that don't print consistently on
different platforms.)
