Fix SF bug #417833 (pydoc HTTP reload failure) by removing from
sys.modules all submodules of a the given module/package path
when trying to reload a module.
Handle sys.getfilesystemencoding() returning None.
ascii seems like the safest bet, it should exist. I wonder if utf-8
would be a better choice? This should get test_fileinput passing on OpenBSD.
used by encoding tests. Fiddled the Windows buildbot helper
scripts to invoke this if needed. Note that this isn't needed
on the trunk (the encoding tests download input files automatically
in 2.5).
patch from the trunk.
This stops test_socket_ssl from dying with:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
in urlparsre.py's urljoin() when the tests are run in this order:
test_???
test_importhooks
test_socket_ssl
"test_???" can be various things, but must be there. For
example, test_urllibnet "works" to provoke the failure.
Alas, nobody actually understands _why_ test_socket_ssl fails
then, or why this hack makes the problem go away.
Amazingly, the tests just happened to run in the right order on
the 2.4 branch on two Windows buildbot slaves today, causing them
both to fail their most recent test runs before this patch.
