Added errors argument to TarFile class that allows the user to
specify an error handling scheme for character conversion. Additional
scheme "utf-8" in read mode. Unicode input filenames are now
supported by design. The values of the pax_headers dictionary are now
limited to unicode objects.

Fixed: The prefix field is no longer used in PAX_FORMAT (in
conformance with POSIX).
Fixed: In read mode use a possible pax header size field.
Fixed: Strip trailing slashes from pax header name values.
Fixed: Give values in user-specified pax_headers precedence when
writing.

Added unicode tests. Added pax/regtype4 member to testtar.tar all
possible number fields in a pax header.

Added two chapters to the documentation about the different formats
tarfile.py supports and how unicode issues are handled.

Fix a fairly long-standing bug in the check for assignment to None (and other
keywords, these days). In 2.5, you could write foo(None=1) without getting
a SyntaxError (although foo()'s definition would have to use **kwds to avoid
getting a runtime error complaining about an unknown keyword of course).

This ought to be backported to 2.5.2 or at least 2.6.

Clarify what "re-initialization" means for init_builtin() and init_dynamic().

Thu, 05 Oct 2006 22:02:31 +0000

Clarify what "re-initialization" means for init_builtin() and init_dynamic().

Also remove warning about re-initialization as possibly raising an execption as
both call _PyImport_FindExtension() which pulls any module that was already
imported from the Python process' extension cache and just copies the __dict__
into the module stored in sys.modules.

Bug #1529871: The speed enhancement patch #921466 broke Python's compliance

Fri, 28 Jul 2006 21:12:07 +0000

Bug #1529871: The speed enhancement patch #921466 broke Python's compliance
with PEP 302. This was fixed by adding an ``imp.NullImporter`` type that is
used in ``sys.path_importer_cache`` to cache non-directory paths and avoid
excessive filesystem operations during imports.

SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)

I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.
