- Handle both frozenset() and frozenset([]).
- Do not use singleton for frozenset subclasses.
- Finalize the singleton.
- Add test cases.
* Factor-out set_update_internal() from set_update(). Simplifies the
code for several internal callers.
* Factor constant expressions out of loop in set_merge_internal().
* Minor comment touch-ups.
[ 1181301 ] make float packing copy bytes when they can
which hasn't been reviewed, despite numerous threats to check it in
anyway if noone reviews it. Please read the diff on the checkin list,
at least!
The basic idea is to examine the bytes of some 'probe values' to see if
the current platform is a IEEE 754-ish platform, and if so
_PyFloat_{Pack,Unpack}{4,8} just copy bytes around.
The rest is hair for testing, and tests.
[ 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.
comments about why both calls to cyclic gc here can cause problems.
I'll backport to 2.3 maint. Since the calls were introduced in 2.3,
that will be the end of it.
If the initial import of warnings fails, clear the error. When the module
is actually needed, if the original import failed, see if it has managed
to find its way to sys.modules yet and if so, remember it.
particular leaving the traceback object (and everything reachable
from it) alive throughout shutdown. The patch is mostly from Guido.
Bugfix candidate.
