Following symbolic links is now limited to 40 attempts, just to
prevent loops.
Add subfunctions:
* Add resolve_symlinks()
* Add calculate_argv0_path_framework()
* Add calculate_which()
* Add calculate_program_macos()
Fix also _Py_wreadlink(): readlink() result type is Py_ssize_t, not
int.
bpo-37834: Normalise handling of reparse points on Windows
* ntpath.realpath() and nt.stat() will traverse all supported reparse points (previously was mixed)
* nt.lstat() will let the OS traverse reparse points that are not name surrogates (previously would not traverse any reparse point)
* nt.[l]stat() will only set S_IFLNK for symlinks (previous behaviour)
* nt.readlink() will read destinations for symlinks and junction points only
bpo-1311: os.path.exists('nul') now returns True on Windows
* nt.stat('nul').st_mode is now S_IFCHR (previously was an error)
Python now gets the absolute path of the script filename specified on
the command line (ex: "python3 script.py"): the __file__ attribute of
the __main__ module, sys.argv[0] and sys.path[0] become an absolute
path, rather than a relative path.
* Add _Py_isabs() and _Py_abspath() functions.
* _PyConfig_Read() now tries to get the absolute path of
run_filename, but keeps the relative path if _Py_abspath() fails.
* Reimplement os._getfullpathname() using _Py_abspath().
* Use _Py_isabs() in getpath.c.
Add _Py_FORCE_UTF8_LOCALE and _Py_FORCE_UTF8_FS_ENCODING macros to
avoid factorize "#if defined(__ANDROID__) || defined(__VXWORKS__)"
and "#if defined(__APPLE__)".
Cleanup also config_init_fs_encoding().
The last parameter of _Py_wreadlink(), _Py_wrealpath() and
_Py_wgetcwd() is a length, not a size: number of characters including
the trailing NUL character.
Enhance also documentation of error conditions.
Use UTF-8 as the system encoding on VxWorks.
The main reason are:
1. The locale is frequently misconfigured.
2. Missing some functions to deal with locale in VxWorks C library.
bpo-34523, bpo-35290: C locale coercion now resets the Python
internal "force ASCII" mode. This change fix the filesystem encoding
on FreeBSD CURRENT, which has a new "C.UTF-8" locale, when
the UTF-8 mode is disabled.
Add _Py_ResetForceASCII(): _Py_SetLocaleFromEnv() now calls it.
locale.localeconv() now sets temporarily the LC_CTYPE locale to the
LC_MONETARY locale if the two locales are different and monetary
strings are non-ASCII. This temporary change affects other threads.
Changes:
* locale.localeconv() can now set LC_CTYPE to LC_MONETARY to decode
monetary fields.
* Add LocaleInfo.grouping_buffer: copy localeconv() grouping string
since it can be replaced anytime if a different thread calls
localeconv().
* _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric() now requires a "struct lconv *"
structure, so locale.localeconv() now longer calls localeconv()
twice. Moreover, the function now requires all arguments to be
non-NULL.
* Rename STATIC_LOCALE_INFO_INIT to LocaleInfo_STATIC_INIT.
* Move _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric() definition from fileutils.h
to pycore_fileutils.h. pycore_fileutils.h now includes locale.h.
* The _locale module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE defined.
Add support for the "surrogatepass" error handler in
PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault() and PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault()
for the UTF-8 encoding.
Changes:
* _Py_DecodeUTF8Ex() and _Py_EncodeUTF8Ex() now support the
surrogatepass error handler (_Py_ERROR_SURROGATEPASS).
* _Py_DecodeLocaleEx() and _Py_EncodeLocaleEx() now use
the _Py_error_handler enum instead of "int surrogateescape" to pass
the error handler. These functions now return -3 if the error
handler is unknown.
* Add unit tests on _Py_DecodeLocaleEx() and _Py_EncodeLocaleEx()
in test_codecs.
* Rename get_error_handler() to _Py_GetErrorHandler() and expose it
as a private function.
* _freeze_importlib doesn't need config.filesystem_errors="strict"
workaround anymore.
Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding on
Windows if Py_LegacyWindowsFSEncodingFlag is zero.
pymain_read_conf() now sets Py_LegacyWindowsFSEncodingFlag in its
loop, but restore its value at exit.
On HP-UX with C or POSIX locale, sys.getfilesystemencoding() now returns
"ascii" instead of "roman8" (when the UTF-8 Mode is disabled and the C locale
is not coerced).
nl_langinfo(CODESET) announces "roman8" whereas it uses the Latin1
encoding in practice.
* The UTF-8 Mode is now also enabled by the "POSIX" locale, not only
by the "C" locale.
* On FreeBSD, Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now also forces
the ASCII encoding if the LC_CTYPE locale is "POSIX", not only if
the LC_CTYPE locale is "C".
* test_utf8_mode.test_cmd_line() checks also that the command line
arguments are decoded from UTF-8 when the the UTF-8 Mode is enabled
with POSIX locale or C locale.
