That one was missing in the module, even if it was available in the
vfs object. The change consist of adding the name and preparing the
call to the underlying vfs module, similar to what was already
implemented e.g. for remove.
Rename is useful by itself, or for instance for a safe file replace,
consisting of the sequence:
write to a temp file
delete the original file
rename the temp file to the original file's name
Calling it from lwIP accept callback will lead incorrect functioning
and/or packet leaks if Python callback has any networking calls, due
to lwIP non-reentrancy. So, instead schedule "poll" callback to do
that, which will be called by lwIP when it does not perform networking
activities. "Poll" callback is called infrequently though (docs say
every 0.5s by default), so for better performance, lwIP needs to be
patched to call poll callback soon after accept callback, but when
current packet is already processed.
For example, the following code now works with a file on the SD card:
f = open('test', 'rb') # test must be 1024 bytes or more in size
f.seek(511)
f.read(513)
Also works for writing.
Fixes issue #1863.
Address printed was truncated anyway and in general confusing to outsider.
A line which dumps it is still left in the source, commented, for peculiar
cases when it may be needed (e.g. when running under debugger).
In some compliation enviroments (e.g. mbed online compiler) with
strict standards compliance, <math.h> does not define constants such
as M_PI. Provide fallback definitions of M_E and M_PI where needed.
If an OSError is raised with an integer argument, and that integer
corresponds to an errno, then the string for the errno is used as the
argument to the exception, instead of the integer. Only works if
the uerrno module is enabled.
