| 12 | Core and builtins |
| 13 | ----------------- |
| 14 | |
Christian Heimes | 5224d28 | 2008-02-23 15:01:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 15 | - Patch #1759: Backport of PEP 3129 class decorators |
| 16 | |
Facundo Batista | fc2d010 | 2008-02-23 12:01:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | - Issue #1881: An internal parser limit has been increased. Also see |
| 18 | issue 215555 for a discussion. |
| 19 | |
Eric Smith | a73fbe7 | 2008-02-23 03:09:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 20 | - Added the future_builtins module, which contains hex() and oct(). |
| 21 | These are the PEP 3127 version of these functions, designed to be |
| 22 | compatible with the hex() and oct() builtins from Python 3.0. They |
| 23 | differ slightly in their output formats from the existing, unchanged |
| 24 | Python 2.6 builtins. The expected usage of the future_builtins |
| 25 | module is: |
| 26 | from future_builtins import hex, oct |
| 27 | |
Eric Smith | 7ef40bf | 2008-02-20 23:34:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 28 | - Issue #1600: Modifed PyOS_ascii_formatd to use at most 2 digit |
| 29 | exponents for exponents with absolute value < 100. Follows C99 |
| 30 | standard. This is a change on Windows, which would use 3 digits. |
| 31 | Also, added 'n' to the formats that PyOS_ascii_formatd understands, |
| 32 | so that any alterations it does to the resulting string will be |
| 33 | available in stringlib/formatter.h (for float.__format__). |
| 34 | |
Eric Smith | 5a3c135 | 2008-02-19 13:21:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 35 | - Implemented PEP 3101, Advanced String Formatting. This adds a new |
| 36 | builtin format(); a format() method for str and unicode; a |
| 37 | __format__() method to object, str, unicode, int, long, float, and |
| 38 | datetime; the class string.Formatter; and the C API |
| 39 | PyObject_Format(). |
| 40 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 632fad3 | 2008-02-16 20:55:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 41 | - Fixed several potential crashes, all caused by specially crafted __del__ |
| 42 | methods exploiting objects in temporarily inconsistent state. |
| 43 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 60d6c7f | 2008-02-15 21:22:45 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 44 | - Issue #2115: Important speedup in setting __slot__ attributes. Also |
| 45 | prevent a possible crash: an Abstract Base Class would try to access a slot |
| 46 | on a registered virtual subclass. |
| 47 | |
Christian Heimes | 2f0da53 | 2008-02-15 06:57:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 48 | - Fixed repr() and str() of complex numbers with infinity or nan as real or |
| 49 | imaginary part. |
| 50 | |
Christian Heimes | 3b718a7 | 2008-02-14 12:47:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 51 | - Clear all free list during a gc.collect() of the highest generation in order |
| 52 | to allow pymalloc to free more arenas. Python may give back memory to the |
| 53 | OS earlier. |
| 54 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | b01aa43 | 2008-02-08 00:56:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 55 | - Issue #2045: Fix an infinite recursion triggered when printing a subclass of |
| 56 | collections.defaultdict, if its default_factory is set to a bound method. |
| 57 | |
Christian Heimes | f75dbef | 2008-02-08 00:11:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 58 | - Fixed a minor memory leak in dictobject.c. The content of the free |
| 59 | list was not freed on interpreter shutdown. |
| 60 | |
Christian Heimes | 6075a82 | 2008-02-06 12:44:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 61 | - Limit free list of method and builtin function objects to 256 entries |
| 62 | each. |
| 63 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 578a8ca | 2008-02-04 20:53:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 64 | - Patch #1953: Added ``sys._compact_freelists()`` and the C API functions |
| 65 | ``PyInt_CompactFreeList`` and ``PyFloat_CompactFreeList`` |
Christian Heimes | 422051a | 2008-02-04 18:00:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 66 | to compact the internal free lists of pre-allocted ints and floats. |
| 67 | |
Christian Heimes | 951cc0f | 2008-01-31 23:08:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 68 | - Bug #1983: Fixed return type of fork(), fork1() and forkpty() calls. |
| 69 | Python expected the return type int but the fork familie returns pi_t. |
| 70 | |
Mark Dickinson | 105be77 | 2008-01-31 22:17:37 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 71 | - Issue #1678380: Fix a bug that identifies 0j and -0j when they appear |
| 72 | in the same code unit. |
| 73 | |

| 75 | the collections.Sequence API. |
| 76 | |
Christian Heimes | 4d4f270 | 2008-01-30 11:32:37 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 77 | - Patch #1970 by Antoine Pitrou: Speedup unicode whitespace and linebreak |
| 78 | detection |
| 79 | |
Christian Heimes | 422051a | 2008-02-04 18:00:12 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 80 | - Added ``PyType_ClearCache()`` and ``sys._clear_type_cache`` to clear the |
Christian Heimes | 908caac | 2008-01-27 23:34:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 81 | internal lookup cache for ref leak tests. |
| 82 | |
Georg Brandl | 0cdf9a3 | 2008-01-26 14:14:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 83 | - Patch #1473257: generator objects gain a gi_code attribute. This is the |
| 84 | same object as the func_code attribute of the function that produced the |
| 85 | generator. |
| 86 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | 31eaafe | 2008-01-24 22:59:25 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 87 | - Issue #1920: "while 0" statements were completely removed by the compiler, |
| 88 | even in the presence of an "else" clause, which is supposed to be run when |
| 89 | the condition is false. Now the compiler correctly emits bytecode for the |
| 90 | "else" suite. |
| 91 | |
Guido van Rossum | eead05f | 2008-01-24 18:21:02 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 92 | - A few crashers fixed: weakref_in_del.py (issue #1377858); |
| 93 | loosing_dict_ref.py (issue #1303614, test67.py); |
| 94 | borrowed_ref_[34].py (not in tracker). |
| 95 | |
Vinay Sajip | d7cf32e | 2008-01-24 12:43:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 96 | - Issue #1069410: The "can't load dll" message box on Windows is |
Christian Heimes | b2302ba | 2008-01-23 17:15:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 97 | suppressed while an extension is loaded by calling SetErrorMode in |
| 98 | dynload_win.c. The error is still reported properly. |
| 99 | |
Christian Heimes | 082c9b0 | 2008-01-23 14:20:50 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 100 | - Bug #1915: Python compiles with --enable-unicode=no again. However |
| 101 | several extension methods and modules do not work without unicode |
| 102 | support. |
| 103 | |
Georg Brandl | 26543b1 | 2008-01-21 18:36:51 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 104 | - Issue #1882: when compiling code from a string, encoding cookies in the |
| 105 | second line of code were not always recognized correctly. |
| 106 | |
Georg Brandl | 14404b6 | 2008-01-19 19:27:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 107 | - Issue #1679: "0x" was taken as a valid integer literal. |
| 108 | |
Georg Brandl | 6caad7d | 2008-01-26 14:19:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 109 | - Issue #1865: ``bytes`` as an alias for ``str`` and b"" as an alias "" were |
Christian Heimes | 288e89a | 2008-01-18 18:24:07 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 110 | added. |
| 111 | |
Christian Heimes | c94e2b5 | 2008-01-14 04:13:37 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 112 | - sys.float_info / PyFloat_GetInfo: The floating point information |
| 113 | object was converted from a dict to a specialized structseq object. |
| 114 | |
Christian Heimes | f31b69f | 2008-01-14 03:42:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 115 | - Patch #1816: Added sys.flags structseq. It exposes the status of most |
Vinay Sajip | 2bdc48c | 2008-01-21 18:16:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 116 | command line arguments and PYTHON* environment variables. |
Christian Heimes | f31b69f | 2008-01-14 03:42:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 117 | |
Georg Brandl | 6caad7d | 2008-01-26 14:19:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 118 | - Objects/structseq.c: Implemented new structseq representation. The patch |
Christian Heimes | f31b69f | 2008-01-14 03:42:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 119 | makes structseqs (e.g. the return value of os.stat) more readable. |
Christian Heimes | 9c20196 | 2008-01-14 03:33:52 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 120 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | e4c270c | 2008-01-14 00:29:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 121 | - Patch #1700288: added a type attribute cache that caches method accesses, |
| 122 | resulting in speedups in heavily object-oriented code. |
| 123 | |
Neal Norwitz | 3fc15b8 | 2008-01-10 05:42:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 124 | - Bug #1776: __import__() no longer accepts filenames on any platform. |
| 125 | The first parameter to __import__() must be a valid module name. |
Christian Heimes | 3403f15 | 2008-01-09 19:56:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 126 | |

| 128 | |
Georg Brandl | 2da0fce | 2008-01-07 17:09:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 129 | - Patch #602345: Add -B command line option, PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE envvar |
| 130 | and sys.dont_write_bytecode attribute. All these can be set to forbid Python |
| 131 | to attempt to write compiled bytecode files. |
| 132 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | e0b7695 | 2008-01-04 02:04:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 133 | - Improve some exception messages when Windows fails to load an extension |
| 134 | module. Now we get for example '%1 is not a valid Win32 application' instead |
| 135 | of 'error code 193'. |
| 136 | |
Christian Heimes | 8267d1d | 2008-01-04 00:37:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 137 | - Bug #1481296: Fixed long(float('nan'))!=0L. |

| 140 | functions. |
Christian Heimes | e2ca424 | 2008-01-03 20:23:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 141 | |
Christian Heimes | 0a8143f | 2007-12-18 23:22:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 142 | - Issue #1635: Platform independent creation and representation of NaN |
| 143 | and INF. float("nan"), float("inf") and float("-inf") now work on every |
| 144 | platform with IEEE 754 semantics. |
| 145 | |
Raymond Hettinger | fd7ed40 | 2007-12-18 21:24:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 146 | - Compiler now generates simpler and faster code for dictionary literals. |
| 147 | The oparg for BUILD_MAP now indicates an estimated dictionary size. |
| 148 | There is a new opcode, STORE_MAP, for adding entries to the dictionary. |
| 149 | |

| 183 | paused generator. |
| 184 | |
Raymond Hettinger | 1760c8a | 2007-11-08 02:52:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 185 | - sets and frozensets now have an isdisjoint() method. |
| 186 | |

| 190 | |
Raymond Hettinger | 8f66937 | 2007-10-03 21:18:11 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 191 | - The enumerate() builtin function is no longer bounded to sequences smaller |
| 192 | than LONG_MAX. Formerly, it raised an OverflowError. Now, automatically |
| 193 | shifts from ints to longs. |
| 194 | |
Brett Cannon | 0b14f24 | 2007-09-30 19:45:10 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 195 | - Issue #1686386: Tuple's tp_repr did not take into account the possibility of |
| 196 | having a self-referential tuple, which is possible from C code. Nor did |
| 197 | object's tp_str consider that a type's tp_str could do something that could |
| 198 | lead to an inifinite recursion. Py_ReprEnter() and Py_EnterRecursiveCall(), |
| 199 | respectively, fixed the issues. |
| 200 | |
Brett Cannon | 0153159 | 2007-09-17 03:28:34 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 201 | - Issue #1164: It was possible to trigger deadlock when using the 'print' |
| 202 | statement to write to a file since the GIL was not released as needed. Now |
| 203 | PyObject_Print() does the right thing along with various tp_print |
| 204 | implementations of the built-in types and those in the collections module. |
| 205 | |
Brett Cannon | 4c20bc4 | 2007-09-11 21:02:28 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 206 | - Issue #1147: Exceptions were directly allowing string exceptions in their |
| 207 | throw() method even though string exceptions no longer allowed. |
| 208 | |
Brett Cannon | a0c0551 | 2007-09-10 21:38:27 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 209 | - Issue #1096: Prevent a segfault from getting the repr of a very deeply nested |
| 210 | list by using the recursion counter. |
| 211 | |
Brett Cannon | 1e534b5 | 2007-09-07 04:18:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 212 | - Issue #1202533: Fix infinite recursion calls triggered by calls to |
| 213 | PyObject_Call() never calling back out to Python code to trigger recursion |
| 214 | depth updates/checks. Required the creation of a static RuntimeError |
| 215 | instance in case normalizing an exception put the recursion check value past |
| 216 | its limit. Fixes crashers infinite_rec_(1|2|4|5).py. |
| 217 | |

| 1588 | |
Christian Heimes | 5b970ad | 2008-02-06 13:33:44 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1589 | - Unified naming convention for free lists and their limits. All free lists |
| 1590 | in Object/ are named ``free_list``, the counter ``numfree`` and the upper |
| 1591 | limit is a macro ``PyName_MAXFREELIST`` inside an #ifndef block. |
| 1592 | |
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc | cab3d98 | 2008-02-03 22:51:43 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1593 | - ``PySet_Add()`` can now modify a newly created frozenset. Similarly to |
| 1594 | ``PyTuple_SetItem``, it can be used to populate a brand new frozenset; but |
| 1595 | it does not steal a reference to the added item. |
| 1596 | |
| 1597 | - Added ``PySet_Check()`` and ``PyFrozenSet_Check()`` to the set API. |
| 1598 | |
Georg Brandl | 6caad7d | 2008-01-26 14:19:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1599 | - Backport of PyUnicode_FromString(), _FromStringAndSize(), _Format and |
| 1600 | _FormatV from Python 3.0. Made PyLong_AsSsize_t and PyLong_FromSsize_t |
| 1601 | public functions. |
| 1602 | |
| 1603 | - Patch #1720595: add T_BOOL to the range of structmember types. |
| 1604 | |
| 1605 | - Issue #1534: Added ``PyFloat_GetMax()``, ``PyFloat_GetMin()`` and |
| 1606 | ``PyFloat_GetInfo()`` to the float API. |
| 1607 | |
| 1608 | - Issue #1521: On 64bit platforms, using PyArgs_ParseTuple with the t# of w# |
| 1609 | format code incorrectly truncated the length to an int, even when |
| 1610 | PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN is set. The str.decode method used to return incorrect |
| 1611 | results with huge strings. |
| 1612 | |
| 1613 | - Issue #1629: Renamed Py_Size, Py_Type and Py_Refcnt to Py_SIZE, Py_TYPE |
| 1614 | and Py_REFCNT. |
| 1615 | |
| 1616 | - PEP 3123: Provide forward compatibility with Python 3.0, while keeping |
| 1617 | backwards compatibility. Add Py_Refcnt, Py_Type, Py_Size, and |
| 1618 | PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT. |
| 1619 | |
| 1620 | - Py_ssize_t fields work in structmember when HAVE_LONG_LONG is not defined. |
| 1621 | |
| 1622 | - Patch #1733960: Allow T_LONGLONG to accept ints. |
| 1623 | |
| 1624 | - T_PYSSIZET can now be used in PyMemberDef lists for Py_ssize_t members. |
| 1625 | |
Christian Heimes | 000a074 | 2008-01-03 22:16:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1626 | - Added a new API function ``PyImport_ImportModuleNoBlock``. |
| 1627 | |
Georg Brandl | 6caad7d | 2008-01-26 14:19:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1628 | - Bug #1637022: Prefix AST symbols with _Py_. |
| 1629 | |
| 1630 | - Fix some leftovers from the conversion from int to Py_ssize_t |
| 1631 | (relevant to strings and sequences of more than 2**31 items). |
| 1632 | |
| 1633 | - Make _PyGILState_NoteThreadState() static, it was not used anywhere |
| 1634 | outside of pystate.c and should not be necessary. |
| 1635 | |
Christian Heimes | 000a074 | 2008-01-03 22:16:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1636 | - ``PyImport_Import`` and ``PyImport_ImportModule`` now always do absolute |
| 1637 | imports. In earlier versions they might have used relative imports under |
| 1638 | some conditions. |
| 1639 | |
Andrew M. Kuchling | adc60ab | 2008-01-04 02:26:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1640 | - Added case insensitive comparison methods ``PyOS_stricmp(char*, char*)`` |
Christian Heimes | 000a074 | 2008-01-03 22:16:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1641 | and ``PyOS_strnicmp(char*, char*, Py_ssize_t)``. |
| 1642 | |
Neal Norwitz | 8a26706 | 2006-08-19 04:25:29 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1643 | - Bug #1542693: remove semi-colon at end of PyImport_ImportModuleEx macro |
| 1644 | so it can be used as an expression. |
| 1645 | |

| 1651 | Windows 2000 or greater. The _WINVER and NTDDI_VERSION macros are set to |
| 1652 | Win2k for x86/32bit builds and WinXP for AMD64 builds. |

Brett Cannon | 5e26351 | 2007-05-20 23:17:38 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1667 | - Removed the macfs module. It had been deprecated since Python 2.5. This |
| 1668 | lead to the deprecation of macostools.touched() as it relied solely on macfs |
| 1669 | and was a no-op under OS X. |
