This problem only occurs if you run a firewall on the same machine as IDLE. The test for the ossaudiodev module hangs on some Red Hat systems. (This test is only run when regrtest.py is invoked with -u audio as argument.) It has been reported that untarring the source tarball using Solaris tar can fail. Thi...

  • Bugs in Python 2.3.4

    Bugs in Python 2.3.4 IDLE now executes code in a separate process. To communicate between the main process and executing processes, IDLE opens a socket to 127.0.0.1 (the local machine). Some firewalls running on Windows machines interfere with this and can cause either silent failures or erroneous popup windows from the firewall. This problem only occurs if you run a firewall on the same machine as IDLE. Build bugs Some platforms require some tinkering to get a clean build of Python. So...

  • Notes

    ...socket module has a new exception, socket.timeout, to allow timeouts to be handled separately from other socket errors. SF bug 751276: cPickle has fixed to propagate exceptions raised in user code. In earlier versions, cPickle caught and ignored any exception when it performed operations that it expected to raise specific exceptions like AttributeError. cPickle Pickler and Unpickler objects now participate in garbage collection. mimetools.choose_boundary() could return duplicate strings at time...

  • Python 1.6

    ...sockets require exactly one argument. Previously, you could call s.connect(host, port), but this was undocumented. You must now write s.connect((host, port)). The str() and repr() functions are now different more often. For long integers, str() no longer appends a 'L'. Thus, str(1L) == '1', which used to be '1L'; repr(1L) is unchanged and still returns '1L'. For floats, repr() now gives 17 digits of precision, to ensure no precision is lost (on all current hardware). ...
