* Group functions into six new subsections
* Document the underlying Readline function or variable accessed
* get_history_length() returns the history file limit
* clear_history() is conditionally compiled in
* Clarify zero and one bases for history item indexes
* parse_and_bind() uses its argument directly as an init line
* Change "command line" to "line buffer" for consistency
* read_init_file() also executes the file
* read_history_file() replaces the previous history
* write_history_file() overwrites any existing file
* Differentiate history file lines from history list items, which could be
multi-line
* Add more information about completion, also addressing Issue #10796
* libedit (Editline) may be used on any platform; detection is OS X specific
Move many tests from NetworkedTests and NetworkedBIOTests to a new Simple-
BackgroundTests class, using the existing ThreadedEchoServer and SIGNED_
CERTFILE infrastructure.
For tests that cause the server to crash by rejecting its certificate,
separate them into independent test methods.
Added custom root certificate to capath with the following commands:
cp Lib/test/{pycacert.pem,capath/}
# Edit copy to remove part before certificate
c_rehash -v Lib/test/capath/
c_rehash -v -old Lib/test/capath/
# Note the generated file names
cp Lib/test/capath/{pycacert.pem,b1930218.0}
mv Lib/test/capath/{pycacert.pem,ceff1710.0}
Change to pure PEM version of SIGNING_CA because PEM_cert_to_DER_cert() does
not like the extra text at the start.
Moved test_connect_ex_error() into BasicSocketTests and rewrote it to connect
to a reserved localhost port.
NetworkedTests.test_get_server_certificate_ipv6() split out because it needs
to connect to an IPv6 DNS address.
The only reference left to self-signed.pythontest.net is test_timeout_
connect_ex(), which needs a remote server to reliably time out the
connection, but does not rely on the server running SSL.
Made ThreadedEchoServer call unwrap() by default when it sees the client has
shut the connection down, so that the client can cleanly call unwrap().
Issue #26637: The importlib module now emits an ImportError rather than a
TypeError if __import__() is tried during the Python shutdown process but
sys.path is already cleared (set to None).
Issue #21925: warnings.formatwarning() now catches exceptions when calling
linecache.getline() and tracemalloc.get_object_traceback() to be able to log
ResourceWarning emitted late during the Python shutdown process.
Issue #21925: warnings.formatwarning() now catches exceptions on
linecache.getline(...) to be able to log ResourceWarning emitted late during
the Python shutdown process.
Issue #23848: On Windows, faulthandler.enable() now also installs an exception
handler to dump the traceback of all Python threads on any Windows exception,
not only on UNIX signals (SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGABRT).
Issue #26530:
* Add C functions _PyTraceMalloc_Track() and _PyTraceMalloc_Untrack() to track
memory blocks using the tracemalloc module.
* Add _PyTraceMalloc_GetTraceback() to get the traceback of an object.
Issue #26588:
* The _tracemalloc now supports tracing memory allocations of multiple address
spaces (domains).
* Add domain parameter to tracemalloc_add_trace() and
tracemalloc_remove_trace().
* tracemalloc_add_trace() now starts by removing the previous trace, if any.
* _tracemalloc._get_traces() now returns a list of (domain, size,
traceback_frames): the domain is new.
* Add tracemalloc.DomainFilter
* tracemalloc.Filter: add an optional domain parameter to the constructor and a
domain attribute
* Sublte change: use Py_uintptr_t rather than void* in the traces key.
* Add tracemalloc_config.use_domain, currently hardcoded to 1
