vgetargs1() and vgetargskeywords(): Replace uses of PyTuple_Size() and
PyTuple_GetItem() with PyTuple_GET_SIZE() and PyTuple_GET_ITEM().
The code has already done a PyTuple_Check().
Add a second special case to the inline function call code in eval_code2().
If we have a PyCFunction (builtin) and it is METH_VARARGS only, load
the args and dispatch to call_cfunction() directly. This provides a
small speedup for perhaps the most common function calls -- builtins.
SF bug #417093: Case sensitive import: dir and .py file w/ same name
Directory containing
Spam.py
spam/__init__.py
Then "import Spam" caused a SystemError, because code checking for
the existence of "Spam/__init__.py" finds it on a case-insensitive
filesystem, but then bails because the directory it finds it in
doesn't match case, and then old code assumed that was still an error
even though it isn't anymore. Changed the code to just continue
looking in this case (instead of calling it an error). So
import Spam
and
import spam
both work now.
Fix buglet reported on c.l.py: map(fnc, file.xreadlines()) blows up.
Took away map()'s insistence that sequences support __len__, and cleaned
up the convoluted code that made it *look* like it really cared about
__len__ (in fact the old ->len field was only *used* as a flag bit, as
the main loop only looked at its sign bit, setting the field to -1 when
IndexError got raised; renamed the field to ->saw_IndexError instead).
Fix 2.1 nested scopes crash reported by Evan Simpson
The new test case demonstrates the bug. Be more careful in
symtable_resolve_free() to add a var to cells or frees only if it
won't be added under some other rule.
XXX Add new assertion that will catch this bug.
now raises NameError instead of UnboundLocalError, because the var in
question is definitely not local. (This affects test_scope.py)
Also update the recent fix by Ping using get_func_name(). Replace
tests of get_func_name() return value with call to get_func_desc() to
match all the other uses.
Calling an unbound method on a C extension class without providing
an instance can yield a segfault. Try "Exception.__init__()" or
"ValueError.__init__()".
This is a simple fix. The error-reporting bits in call_method
mistakenly treat the misleadingly-named variable "func" as a
function, when in fact it is a method.
If we let get_func_name take care of the work, all is fine.
Fix based on patch #414750 by Michael Hudson.
New functions get_func_name() and get_func_desc() return reasonable
names and descriptions for all objects. XXX Even objects that aren't
actually callable.
pickle.py
The code implicitly assumed that all ints fit in 4 bytes, causing all
sorts of mischief (from nonsense results to corrupted pickles).
Repaired that.
marshal.c
The int marshaling code assumed that right shifts of signed longs
sign-extend. Repaired that.
Jeffery Collins pointed out that filterstring decrefs a character object
before it's done using it. This works by accident today because another
module always happens to have an active reference too at the time. The
accident doesn't work after his Pippy modifications, and since it *is*
an accident even in the mainline Python, it should work by design there too.
The patch accomplishes that.
but apparently he had to go to school, so I am checking it in for him.
This makes PyRun_HandleSystemExit() a static instead, called
handle_system_exit(), and let it use the current exception rather than
passing in an exception. This slightly simplifies the code.
Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.
New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook.
Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back
to calling PyErr_Display directly.
Also comes with sys.__excepthook__ and sys.__displayhook__.
