__oct__, and __hex__. Raise TypeError if an invalid type is
returned. Note that PyNumber_Int and PyNumber_Long can still
return ints or longs. Fixes SF bug #966618.
The preceding case statement was missing a terminating "break" stmt,
so fell into the new code by mistake. This caused uncaught out-of-bounds
accesses to the "names" tuple, leading to a variety of insane behaviors.
expected entrypoint. The unlinking will crash the application if the
module contained ObjC code. The price of this is small: a little wasted
memory, and only in a case than isn't expected to occur often.
[ 984722 ] Py_BuildValue loses reference counts on error
I'm ever-so-slightly uneasy at the amount of work this can do with an
exception pending, but I don't think that this can result in anything
more serious than a strange error message.
[ 960406 ] unblock signals in threads
although the changes do not correspond exactly to any patch attached to
that report.
Non-main threads no longer have all signals masked.
A different interface to readline is used.
The handling of signals inside calls to PyOS_Readline is now rather
different.
These changes are all a bit scary! Review and cross-platform testing
much appreciated.
table' of the dll, to make sure that the dll really was build for the
correct Python version. It does this by looking for an entry
'pythonXY.dll' (X.Y is the Python version number).
The code now checks the size of the dll's import table before reading
entries from it. Before this patch, the code crashed trying to read
the import table when the size was zero (as in Win2k's wmi.dll, for
example).
Look for imports of 'pythonXY_d.dll' in a debug build instead of
'pythonXY.dll'.
Fixes SF 951851: Crash when reading "import table" of certain windows dlls.
Already backported to the 2.3 branch.
The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument.
Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing
down the normal case. My timings so no measurable impact.
