Also add an explicit test for safe implementation usage on supported platforms.
As a side effect, this commit adds a module-level attribute 'rmtree_is_safe'
which offers introspection whether the current rmtree implementation is safe
against symlink attacks.
Many functions now support "dir_fd" and "follow_symlinks" parameters;
some also support accepting an open file descriptor in place of of a path
string. Added os.support_* collections as LBYL helpers. Removed many
functions only previously seen in 3.3 alpha releases (often starting with
"f" or "l", or ending with "at"). Originally suggested by Serhiy Storchaka;
implemented by Larry Hastings.
The str() of a SSLError is also enhanced accordingly.
NOTE: this commit creates a reference leak. The leak seems tied to the
use of PyType_FromSpec() to create the SSLError type. The leak is on the
type object when it is instantiated:
>>> e = ssl.SSLError()
>>> sys.getrefcount(ssl.SSLError)
35
>>> e = ssl.SSLError()
>>> sys.getrefcount(ssl.SSLError)
36
>>> e = ssl.SSLError()
>>> sys.getrefcount(ssl.SSLError)
37
These functions were originally added to support LZMA compression in the zipfile
module, and are not of interest for the majority of users.
They can be made public in 3.4 if there is user interest, but in the meanwhile,
I've opted to present a smaller, simpler API for the module's initial release.
module name into consideration when determining whether a module is a
package or not. This prevents importing a module's __init__ module
directly and having it considered a package, which can lead to
duplicate sub-modules.
Thanks to Ronan Lamy for reporting the bug.
in struct tm, time.struct_time objects returned by time.gmtime(),
time.localtime() and time.strptime() functions now have tm_zone and
tm_gmtoff attributes. Original patch by Paul Boddie.
Fix also its value on Windows and Linux according to its documentation:
"adjustable" indicates if the clock *can be* adjusted, not if it is or was
adjusted.
In most cases, it is not possible to indicate if a clock is or was adjusted.
open() and io.TextIOWrapper are now calling locale.getpreferredencoding(False)
instead of locale.getpreferredencoding() in text mode if the encoding is not
specified. Don't change temporary the locale encoding using locale.setlocale(),
use the current locale encoding instead of the user preferred encoding.
Explain also in open() documentation that locale.getpreferredencoding(False) is
called if the encoding is not specified.
