dealloc() functions contained code to free/DECREF the buffer
(there were differences between I and O objects but the logic bug was
the same). Fixed this be setting the buffer pointer to NULL and
testing for that. (This also makes it safe to call close() more than
once.)
XXX Worry: what if you try to read() or write() once the thing is
closed?
- Changed semantics for initialized flag (again); forget the ref
counting, forget the fatal errors -- redundant calls to
Py_Initialize() or Py_Finalize() calls are simply ignored.
- Automatically import site.py on initialization, unless a flag is set
not to do this by main().
Added PyErr_MemoryErrorInst to hold the pre-instantiated instance when
using class based exceptions.
Simplified the creation of all built-in exceptions, both class based
and string based. Actually, for class based exceptions, the string
ones are still created just in case there's a problem creating the
class based ones (so you still get *some* exception handling!). Now
the init and fini functions run through a list of structure elements,
creating the strings (and optionally classes) for every entry.
initerrors(): the new base class exceptions StandardError,
LookupError, and NumberError are initialized when using string
exceptions, to tuples containing the list of derived string
exceptions. This GvR trick enables forward compatibility! One bit of
nastiness is that the C code has to know the inheritance tree embodied
in exceptions.py.
Added the two phase init and fini functions.
the -X command line option.
Py_Initialize(): Handle the two phase initialization of the built-in
module.
Py_Finalize(): Handle the two phase finalization of the built-in
module.
parse_syntax_error(): New function which parses syntax errors that
PyErr_Print() will catch. This correctly parses such errors
regardless of whether PyExc_SyntaxError is an old-style string
exception or new-fangled class exception.
PyErr_Print(): Many changes:
1. Normalize the exception.
2. Handle SystemExit exceptions which might be class based. Digs
the exit code out of the "code" attribute. String based
SystemExit is handled the same as before.
3. Handle SyntaxError exceptions which might be class based. Digs
the various information bits out of the instance's attributes
(see parse_syntax_error() for details). String based
SyntaxError still works too.
4. Don't write the `:' after the exception if the exception is
class based and has an empty string str() value.
PyExc_NumberError, and PyExc_LookupError. Also added extern for
pre-instantiated exception instance PyExc_MemoryErrorInst.
Removed extern of obsolete exception PyExc_AccessError.
(PyExc_MemoryErrorInst) raise this instead of PyExc_MemoryError. This
only happens when exception classes are enabled (e.g. when Python is
started with -X).
former rather than the latter, since PyErr_NormalizeException takes
PyObject** and I didn't want to change the interface for set_exc_info
(but I did want the changes propagated to eval_code2!).
Removed bootstrap script from end of faqwiz.py module.
Added instructions to bootstrap script, too.
Version bumped to 0.8.
Added <html>...</html> feature suggested by Skip Montanaro.
Added leading text for Roulette, default to 'Hit Reload ...'.
Fix typo in default SRCDIR.
that multiple retrievals using the same connection will work.
This leaves open the more general problem that after
f = urlopen("ftp://...")
f must be closed before another retrieval from the same host should be
attempted.
