- Issue #2434: Enhanced platform.win32_ver() to also work on Python
|
||||
installation which do not have the win32all package installed.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added support to platform.uname() to also report the machine
|
||||
and processor information on Windows XP and later. As a result,
|
||||
platform.machine() and platform.processor() will report this
|
||||
information as well.
|
||||
|
||||
- The library implementing the 2to3 conversion, lib2to3, was added
|
||||
to the standard distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
- Issue #1747858: Fix chown to work with large uid's and gid's on 64-bit
|
||||
platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
- Issue #1202: zlib.crc32 and zlib.adler32 no longer return different values
|
||||
on 32-bit vs. 64-bit python interpreters. Both were correct, but they now
|
||||
both return a signed integer object for consistency.
|
||||
|
||||
- Issue #1158: add %f format (fractions of a second represented as
|
||||
microseconds) to datetime objects. Understood by both strptime and
|
||||
strftime.
|
||||
|
||||
- Issue #705836: struct.pack(">f", x) now raises OverflowError on all
|
||||
platforms when x is too large to fit into an IEEE 754 float; previously
|
||||
it only raised OverflowError on non IEEE 754 platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
- Issue #1106316: pdb.post_mortem()'s parameter, "traceback", is now
|
||||
optional: it defaults to the traceback of the exception that is currently
|
||||
being handled (is mandatory to be in the middle of an exception, otherwise
|
||||
it raises ValueError).
|
||||
|
||||
- Issue #1193577: A .shutdown() method has been added to SocketServers
|
||||
which terminates the .serve_forever() loop.
|
||||
|
||||
- Bug #2220: handle rlcompleter attribute match failure more gracefully.
|
||||
|
||||
- Issue #2225: py_compile, when executed as a script, now returns a non-
|
||||
zero status code if not all files could be compiled successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
- Bug #1725737: In distutil's sdist, exclude RCS, CVS etc. also in the
|
||||
root directory, and also exclude .hg, .git, .bzr, and _darcs.
|
||||
|
||||
- Issue #1872: The struct module typecode for _Bool has been changed
|
||||
from 't' to '?'.
|
||||
|
||||
- The bundled libffi copy is now in sync with the recently released
|
||||
libffi3.0.4 version, apart from some small changes to
|
||||
Modules/_ctypes/libffi/configure.ac.
|
||||
On OS X, preconfigured libffi files are used.
|
||||
On all linux systems the --with-system-ffi configure option defaults
|
||||
to "yes".
|
||||
|
||||
- Issue 1577: shutil.move() now calls os.rename() if the destination is a
|
||||
directory instead of copying-then-remove-source.

|
||||
not set up on the testing machine.
|
||||
|
||||
- Output comparison tests are no longer supported.
|

|

- Issue #2282: io.TextIOWrapper was not overriding seekable() from io.IOBase.
|

|
||||
- Issue #2067: file.__exit__() now calls subclasses' close() method.
|

|

- Patch #1759: Backport of PEP 3129 class decorators.
|

|
||||
- Issue #1881: An internal parser limit has been increased. Also see
|
||||
issue 215555 for a discussion.
|
||||
|
||||
- Added the future_builtins module, which contains hex() and oct().
|
||||
These are the PEP 3127 version of these functions, designed to be
|
||||
compatible with the hex() and oct() builtins from Python 3.0. They
|
||||
differ slightly in their output formats from the existing, unchanged
|
||||
Python 2.6 builtins. The expected usage of the future_builtins
|
||||
module is:
|
||||
from future_builtins import hex, oct
|
||||
|
||||
- Issue #1600: Modifed PyOS_ascii_formatd to use at most 2 digit
|
||||
exponents for exponents with absolute value < 100. Follows C99
|
||||
standard. This is a change on Windows, which would use 3 digits.
|
||||
Also, added 'n' to the formats that PyOS_ascii_formatd understands,
|
||||
so that any alterations it does to the resulting string will be
|
||||
available in stringlib/formatter.h (for float.__format__).
|
||||
|
||||
- Implemented PEP 3101, Advanced String Formatting. This adds a new
|
||||
builtin format(); a format() method for str and unicode; a
|
||||
__format__() method to object, str, unicode, int, long, float, and
|
||||
datetime; the class string.Formatter; and the C API
|
||||
PyObject_Format().
|
||||
|

- Fixed several potential crashes, all caused by specially crafted __del__
|
||||
methods exploiting objects in temporarily inconsistent state.
