./lang/python27, Interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language

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


Branch: pkgsrc-2016Q2, Version: 2.7.12, Package name: python27-2.7.12, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

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.

   Changes 2.7.2:

   Core and Builtins
   -----------------
   - Issue 20041: Fixed TypeError when frame.f_trace is set to None.
     Patch by Xavier de Gaye.

   - Issue 25702: A --with-lto configure option has been added that will
     enable link time optimizations at build time during a make profile-opt.
     Some compilers and toolchains are known to not produce stable code when
     using LTO, be sure to test things thoroughly before relying on it.
     It can provide a few % speed up over profile-opt alone.

   - Issue 26168: Fixed possible refleaks in failing Py_BuildValue() with the \ 
"N"
     format unit.

   - Issue 27039: Fixed bytearray.remove() for values greater than 127.  Patch by
     Joe Jevnik.

   - Issue 4806: Avoid masking the original TypeError exception when using star
     (*) unpacking and the exception was raised from a generator.  Based on
     patch by Hagen Fu:rstenau.

   - Issue 26659: Make the builtin slice type support cycle collection.

   - Issue 26718: super.__init__ no longer leaks memory if called multiple times.
     NOTE: A direct call of super.__init__ is not endorsed!

   - Issue 13410: Fixed a bug in PyUnicode_Format where it failed to properly
     ignore errors from a __int__() method.

   - Issue 26494: Fixed crash on iterating exhausting iterators.
     Affected classes are generic sequence iterators, iterators of bytearray,
     list, tuple, set, frozenset, dict, OrderedDict and corresponding views.

   - Issue 26581: If coding cookie is specified multiple times on a line in
     Python source code file, only the first one is taken to account.

   - Issue 22836: Ensure exception reports from PyErr_Display() and
     PyErr_WriteUnraisable() are sensible even when formatting them produces
     secondary errors.  This affects the reports produced by
     sys.__excepthook__() and when __del__() raises an exception.

   - Issue 22847: Improve method cache efficiency.

   - Issue 25843: When compiling code, don't merge constants if they are equal
     but have a different types. For example, ``f1, f2 = lambda: 1, lambda: 1.0``
     is now correctly compiled to two different functions: ``f1()`` returns ``1``
     (``int``) and ``f2()`` returns ``1.0`` (``int``), even if ``1`` and ``1.0``
     are equal.

   - Issue 22995: [UPDATE] Remove the one of the pickleability tests in
     _PyObject_GetState() due to regressions observed in Cython-based projects.

   - Issue 25961: Disallowed null characters in the type name.

   - Issue 22995: Instances of extension types with a state that aren't
     subclasses of list or dict and haven't implemented any pickle-related
     methods (__reduce__, __reduce_ex__, __getnewargs__, __getnewargs_ex__,
     or __getstate__), can no longer be pickled.  Including memoryview.

   - Issue 20440: Massive replacing unsafe attribute setting code with special
     macro Py_SETREF.

   - Issue 25421: __sizeof__ methods of builtin types now use dynamic basic size.
     This allows sys.getsize() to work correctly with their subclasses with
     __slots__ defined.

   - Issue 19543: Added Py3k warning for decoding unicode.

   - Issue 24097: Fixed crash in object.__reduce__() if slot name is freed inside
     __getattr__.

   - Issue 24731: Fixed crash on converting objects with special methods
     __str__, __trunc__, and __float__ returning instances of subclasses of
     str, long, and float to subclasses of str, long, and float correspondingly.

   - Issue 26478: Fix semantic bugs when using binary operators with dictionary
     views and tuples.

   - Issue 26171: Fix possible integer overflow and heap corruption in
     zipimporter.get_data().

   IDLE

     This matches how paste works on Windows, Mac, most modern Linux apps,
     and ttk widgets.  Original patch by Serhiy Storchaka.

   - Issue 24759: Make clear in idlelib.idle_test.__init__ that the directory
     is a private implementation of test.test_idle and tool for maintainers.

   - Issue 26673: When tk reports font size as 0, change to size 10.
     Such fonts on Linux prevented the configuration dialog from opening.

   - Issue 27044: Add ConfigDialog.remove_var_callbacks to stop memory leaks.

   - In the 'IDLE-console differences' section of the IDLE doc, clarify
     how running with IDLE affects sys.modules and the standard streams.

   Documentation
   -------------
   - Issue 26736: Used HTTPS for external links in the documentation if possible.

   - Issue 6953: Rework the Readline module documentation to group related

     functions and variables are accessed.

     for Python 3.x.  In particular, the top-level 2.7 documentation page now
     links to the newer installer and distributions pages rather than the
     legacy install and Distutils pages; these are still linked to in the
     library/distutils doc page.

   Tests
   -----
   - Issue 21916: Added tests for the turtle module.  Patch by ingrid,
     Gregory Loyse and Jelle Zijlstra.

   - Issue 25940: Changed test_ssl to use self-signed.pythontest.net.  This
     avoids relying on svn.python.org, which recently changed root certificate.

     into separate file test_ordered_dict.

   Build
   -----
   - Issue 22359: Avoid incorrect recursive $(MAKE), and disable the rules for
     running pgen when cross-compiling.  The pgen output is normally saved with
     the source code anyway, and is still regenerated when doing a native build.
     Patch by Jonas Wagner and Xavier de Gaye.

   - Issue 19450: Update Windows builds to use SQLite 3.8.11.0.

     lower-level check for st_blocks in struct stat.

   - Issue 26465: Update Windows builds to use OpenSSL 1.0.2g.

     Previously it could fail to compile properly if the math and cmath builds
     were concurrent.

   - Issue 25824: Fixes sys.winver to not include any architecture suffix.

   - Issue 25348: Added ``--pgo`` and ``--pgo-job`` arguments to
     ``PCbuild\build.bat`` for building with Profile-Guided Optimization.  The
     old ``PCbuild\build_pgo.bat`` script is now deprecated, and simply calls
     ``PCbuild\build.bat --pgo %*``.

   - Issue 25827: Add support for building with ICC to ``configure``, including
     a new ``--with-icc`` flag.

   - Issue 25696: Fix installation of Python on UNIX with make -j9.

   - Issue 26930: Update OS X 10.5+ 32-bit-only installer to build

   - Issue 26268: Update Windows builds to use OpenSSL 1.0.2f.

   - Issue 25136: Support Apple Xcode 7's new textual SDK stub libraries.

   Tools/Demos
   -----------
   - Issue 26799: Fix python-gdb.py: don't get C types once when the Python code
     is loaded, but get C types on demand. The C types can change if
     python-gdb.py is loaded before the Python executable. Patch written by Thomas
     Ilsche.

   C API
   -----
   - Issue 26476: Fixed compilation error when use PyErr_BadInternalCall() in C++.
     Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.
