./lang/python25, Interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.5.5nb1, Package name: python25-2.5.5nb1, Maintainer: recht

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented
programming language that combines remarkable power with
very clear syntax. For an introduction to programming in
Python you are referred to the Python Tutorial. The
Python Library Reference documents built-in and standard
types, constants, functions and modules. Finally, the
Python Reference Manual describes the syntax and semantics
of the core language in (perhaps too) much detail.

Python's basic power can be extended with your own modules
written in C or C++. On most systems such modules may be
dynamically loaded. Python is also adaptable as an exten-
sion language for existing applications. See the internal
documentation for hints.

  (CVE_2009_3560).

- expat: Fix DoS via malformed XML (CVE-2009-3720).

Core and builtins
-----------------

- Issue #6990: Fix threading.local subclasses leaving old state around
  after a reference cycle GC which could be recycled by new locals.

Library
-------

- Issue #7403: logging: Fixed possible race condition in lock creation.

- Issue #5068: Fixed the tarfile._BZ2Proxy.read() method that would loop
  forever on incomplete input. That caused tarfile.open() to hang when used
  with mode 'r' or 'r:bz2' and a fileobj argument that contained no data or
  partial bzip2 compressed data.

Log message:
remove assignments to the LIBS env var -- this should have been done
earlier, but there became no-ops due to my change to db4/bl3 and thus
didn't do harm. Now that part of that change was backed out they became
harmful again and thus need to go.
