  Do not copy free variables to locals in class namespaces.

  Fixes bug 1569356, but at the cost of a minor incompatibility in
  locals().  Add test that verifies that the class namespace is not
  polluted.  Also clarify the behavior in the library docs.

  Along the way, cleaned up the dict_to_map and map_to_dict
  implementations and added some comments that explain what they do.

  Add checking for a number of metaclass error conditions.

  We add some new rules that are required for preserving internal
  invariants of types.

  1.  If type (or a subclass of type) appears in bases, it must appear
      before any non-type bases.  If a non-type base (like a regular
      new-style class) occurred first, it could trick type into
      allocating the new class an __dict__ which must be impossible.

  2. There are several checks that are made of bases when creating a
     type.  Those checks are now repeated when assigning to __bases__.
     We also add the restriction that assignment to __bases__ may not
     change the metaclass of the type.

  Add new tests for these cases and for a few other oddball errors that
  were no previously tested.  Remove a crasher test that was fixed.

  Also some internal refactoring:  Extract the code to find the most
  derived metaclass of a type and its bases.  It is now needed in two
  places.  Rewrite the TypeError checks in test_descr to use doctest.
  The tests now clearly show what exception they expect to see.

  Introduce test.test_support.TransientResource.  It's a context manager to
  surround calls to resources that may or may not be available.  Specifying the
  expected exception and attributes to be raised if the resource is not available
  prevents overly broad catching of exceptions.

  This is meant to help suppress spurious failures by raising
  test.test_support.ResourceDenied if the exception matches.  It would probably
  be good to go through the various network tests and surround the calls to catch
  connection timeouts (as done with test_socket_ssl in this commit).

  This is the implementation of POSIX.1-2001 (pax) format read/write
  support.

  The TarInfo class now contains all necessary logic to process and
  create tar header data which has been moved there from the TarFile
  class. The fromtarfile() method was added. The new path and linkpath
  properties are aliases for the name and linkname attributes in
  correspondence to the pax naming scheme.

  The TarFile constructor and classmethods now accept a number of
  keyword arguments which could only be set as attributes before (e.g.
  dereference, ignore_zeros). The encoding and pax_headers arguments
  were added for pax support. There is a new tarinfo keyword argument
  that allows using subclassed TarInfo objects in TarFile.

  The boolean TarFile.posix attribute is deprecated, because now three
  tar formats are supported. Instead, the desired format for writing is
  specified using the constants USTAR_FORMAT, GNU_FORMAT and PAX_FORMAT
  as the format keyword argument. This change affects TarInfo.tobuf()
  as well.

  The test suite has been heavily reorganized and partially rewritten.
  A new testtar.tar was added that contains sample data in many formats
  from 4 different tar programs.

  Some bugs and quirks that also have been fixed:
  Directory names do no longer have a trailing slash in TarInfo.name or
  TarFile.getnames().
  Adding the same file twice does not create a hardlink file member.
  The TarFile constructor does no longer need a name argument.
  The TarFile._mode attribute was renamed to mode and contains either
  'r', 'w' or 'a'.

  The buildbots will tell us if things improve or not.  I don't

  - Bug #1683368: The object.__init__() and object.__new__() methods are
    now stricter in rejecting excess arguments.  The only time when
    either allows excess arguments is when it is not overridden and the
    other one is.  For backwards compatibility, when both are
    overridden, it is a deprecation warning (for now; maybe a Py3k
    warning later).

  When merging this into 3.0, the warnings should become errors.

  Note: without the change to string.py, lots of spurious warnings happen.
  What's going on there?

  SF #1685563, MSVCCompiler creates redundant and long PATH strings

  If MSVCCompiler.initialize() was called multiple times, the path
  would get duplicated.  On Windows, this is a problem because the
  path is limited to 4k.  There's no benefit in adding a path multiple
  times, so prevent that from occuring.  We also normalize the path
  before checking for duplicates so things like /a and /a/ won't both
  be stored.

  time.strptime's caching of its locale object was being recreated when the

  was tested by the OP (#1290505).  Once the buildbots verify the test at least

"""Generic socket server classes.
This module tries to capture the various aspects of defining a server:
For socket-based servers:
- address family:
- AF_INET{,6}: IP (Internet Protocol) sockets (default)
- AF_UNIX: Unix domain sockets
- others, e.g. AF_DECNET are conceivable (see <socket.h>
- socket type:
- SOCK_STREAM (reliable stream, e.g. TCP)
- SOCK_DGRAM (datagrams, e.g. UDP)
For request-based servers (including socket-based):
- client address verification before further looking at the request
(This is actually a hook for any processing that needs to look
at the request before anything else, e.g. logging)
- how to handle multiple requests:
- synchronous (one request is handled at a time)
- forking (each request is handled by a new process)
- threading (each request is handled by a new thread)
The classes in this module favor the server type that is simplest to
write: a synchronous TCP/IP server. This is bad class design, but
save some typing. (There's also the issue that a deep class hierarchy
slows down method lookups.)
There are five classes in an inheritance diagram, four of which represent
synchronous servers of four types:

Note that UnixDatagramServer derives from UDPServer, not from
UnixStreamServer -- the only difference between an IP and a Unix
stream server is the address family, which is simply repeated in both
unix server classes.
Forking and threading versions of each type of server can be created
using the ForkingMixIn and ThreadingMixIn mix-in classes. For
instance, a threading UDP server class is created as follows:
class ThreadingUDPServer(ThreadingMixIn, UDPServer): pass
The Mix-in class must come first, since it overrides a method defined
in UDPServer! Setting the various member variables also changes
the behavior of the underlying server mechanism.
To implement a service, you must derive a class from
BaseRequestHandler and redefine its handle() method. You can then run
various versions of the service by combining one of the server classes
with your request handler class.
The request handler class must be different for datagram or stream
services. This can be hidden by using the request handler
subclasses StreamRequestHandler or DatagramRequestHandler.
Of course, you still have to use your head!
For instance, it makes no sense to use a forking server if the service
contains state in memory that can be modified by requests (since the
modifications in the child process would never reach the initial state
kept in the parent process and passed to each child). In this case,
you can use a threading server, but you will probably have to use
locks to avoid two requests that come in nearly simultaneous to apply
conflicting changes to the server state.
On the other hand, if you are building e.g. an HTTP server, where all
data is stored externally (e.g. in the file system), a synchronous
class will essentially render the service "deaf" while one request is
being handled -- which may be for a very long time if a client is slow
to reqd all the data it has requested. Here a threading or forking
server is appropriate.
In some cases, it may be appropriate to process part of a request
synchronously, but to finish processing in a forked child depending on
the request data. This can be implemented by using a synchronous
server and doing an explicit fork in the request handler class
handle() method.
Another approach to handling multiple simultaneous requests in an
environment that supports neither threads nor fork (or where these are
too expensive or inappropriate for the service) is to maintain an
explicit table of partially finished requests and to use select() to
decide which request to work on next (or whether to handle a new
incoming request). This is particularly important for stream services
where each client can potentially be connected for a long time (if
threads or subprocesses cannot be used).
Future work:
- Standard classes for Sun RPC (which uses either UDP or TCP)
- Standard mix-in classes to implement various authentication
and encryption schemes
- Standard framework for select-based multiplexing
XXX Open problems:
- What to do with out-of-band data?
BaseServer:
- split generic "request" functionality out into BaseServer class.
