of PyMem_Malloc()

Issue #16416: OS data are now always encoded/decoded to/from

Mon, 12 Nov 2012 23:04:02 +0100

Issue #16416: OS data are now always encoded/decoded to/from
UTF-8/surrogateescape, instead of the locale encoding (which may be ASCII if no
locale environment variable is set), to avoid inconsistencies with
os.fsencode() and os.fsdecode() functions which are already using
UTF-8/surrogateescape.

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 22:58:25 +0000

Issue #4388: On Mac OS X, decode command line arguments from UTF-8, instead of
the locale encoding. If the LANG (and LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE) environment variable
is not set, the locale encoding is ISO-8859-1, whereas most programs (including
Python) expect UTF-8. Python already uses UTF-8 for the filesystem encoding and
to encode command line arguments on this OS.

Add an optional size argument to _Py_char2wchar()

Sat, 16 Oct 2010 23:16:16 +0000

Add an optional size argument to _Py_char2wchar()

_Py_char2wchar() callers usually need the result size in characters. Since it's
trivial to compute it in _Py_char2wchar() (O(1) whereas wcslen() is O(n)), add
an option to get it.

Revert r85435 (and r85440): decode command line arguments from utf-8

Revert r85435 (and r85440): decode command line arguments from utf-8

Python exits with a fatal error if the command line contains an undecodable
argument. PyUnicode_FromString() fails at the first undecodable byte because it
calls the error handler, but error handlers are not ready before Python
initialization.

Apparently FreeBSD enables some HW floating-point exceptions by default.

Sat, 28 Dec 2002 21:56:08 +0000

Apparently FreeBSD enables some HW floating-point exceptions by default.
This can cause core dumps when Python runs. Python relies on the 754-
(and C99-) mandated default "non-stop" mode for FP exceptions. This
patch from Ben Laurie disables at least one FP exception on FreeBSD at
Python startup time.
