We had several if statements checking the value of a fd. This is unsafe, since valid fds might be zero. We should check for not None instead.

Update the encoding package's search function to use absolute imports when
calling __import__. This helps make the expected search locations for encoding
modules be more explicit.

One could use an explicit value for __path__ when making the call to __import__
to force the exact location searched for encodings. This would give the most
strict search path possible if one is worried about malicious code being
imported. The unfortunate side-effect of that is that if __path__ was modified
on 'encodings' on purpose in a safe way it would not be picked up in future
__import__ calls.

Add a version annotation for the Q and q format codes.

Add a version annotation for the Q and q format codes.

Added q/Q standard (x-platform 8-byte ints) mode in struct module.

Tue, 12 Jun 2001 01:22:22 +0000

Added q/Q standard (x-platform 8-byte ints) mode in struct module.
This completes the q/Q project.

longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray: The original code had a gross bug:
the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT
significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign
bit it has else spurious overflow errors result.

test_struct.py: This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both
sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative.

NEWS: Added brief dict news while I was at it.

Initial support for 'q' and 'Q' struct format codes: for now, only in

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 23:40:19 +0000

Initial support for 'q' and 'Q' struct format codes: for now, only in
native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG. Standard mode
will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that
likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while
sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely
on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own;
I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long
to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP
conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8).

test_struct.py: In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests,
got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about
native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes).

libstruct.tex: In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed
later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior.
