If a PL/Python function raises an SPIError (or one if its subclasses)
directly with python's raise statement, treat it the same as an SPIError
generated internally. In particular, if the user sets the sqlstate
attribute, preserve that.

plpython tried to use a single cache entry for a trigger function, but it
needs a separate cache entry for each table the trigger is applied to,
because there is table-dependent data in there. This was done correctly
before 9.1, but commit 46211da1b84bc3537e799ee1126098e71c2428e8 broke it
by simplifying the lookup key from "function OID and triggered table OID"
to "function OID and is-trigger boolean". Go back to using both OIDs
as the lookup key. Per bug report from Sandro Santilli.

The PL/Python build on OS X was previously hardcoded to use the system
installation of Python, ignoring whatever was specified to configure.
Except that it would use the header files from configure, which could
lead to mismatches. It was not possible to build against a custom
Python installation.
Now, we check in configure how the specified Python installation was
built and use that, supporting framework and non-framework builds.
This reverts commit be0dfbad3671ed2503a2a661e70b48c5b364e069.
The previous information that Py_RETURN_TRUE and Py_RETURN_FALSE are
supported in Python 2.3 is wrong. They require Python 2.4. Update the
comment about that.
This was used in a time when a shared libperl or libpython was difficult
to come by. That is obsolete, and the idea behind the flag was never
fully portable anyway and will likely fail on more modern CPU
architectures.
Currently, we are making mangled copies of plpython/{expected,sql} to
plpython/python3/{expected,sql}, and run the tests in
plpython/python3. This has the disadvantage that the regression.diffs
file, if any, ends up in plpython/python3, which is not the normal
location. If we instead make the mangled copies in
plpython/{expected,sql}/python3/, we can run the tests from the normal
directory, regression.diffs ends up the normal place, and the
pg_regress invocation also becomes a lot simpler. It's also more
obvious at run time what's going on, because the tests end up being
named "python3/something" in the test output.
Commit 2cfb1c6f77734db81b6e74bcae630f93b94f69be fixed some issues caused
by Python 3.3 choosing to iterate through dict entries in a different order
than before. But here's another one: the test cases adjusted here made two
bad entries in a dict and expected the one complained of would always be
the same.
Possibly this should be back-patched further than 9.2, but there seems
little point unless the earlier fix is too.
This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which
is very widely included by many files.
I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well,
because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In
itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h
throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's
something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h
change now while I'm busy with it.
We used to convert the unicode object directly to a string in the server
encoding by calling Python's PyUnicode_AsEncodedString function. In other
words, we used Python's routines to do the encoding. However, that has a
few problems. First of all, it required keeping a mapping table of Python
encoding names and PostgreSQL encodings. But the real killer was that Python
doesn't support EUC_TW and MULE_INTERNAL encodings at all.
Instead, convert the Python unicode object to UTF-8, and use PostgreSQL's
encoding conversion functions to convert from UTF-8 to server encoding. We
were already doing the same in the other direction in PLyUnicode_FromString,
so this is more consistent, too.
Note: This makes SQL_ASCII to behave more leniently. We used to map
SQL_ASCII to Python's 'ascii', which on Python means strict 7-bit ASCII
only, so you got an error if the python string contained anything but pure
ASCII. You no longer get an error; you get the UTF-8 representation of the
string instead.
Backpatch to 9.0, where these conversions were introduced.

It is apparently no longer used after the new slicing support was
implemented (a97207b6908f1d4a7d19b37b818367bb0171039f), so let's
remove the dead code and see if anything cares.
That caused the plpython_unicode regression test to fail on SQL_ASCII
encoding, as evidenced by the buildfarm. The reason is that with the patch,
you don't get the detail in the error message that you got before. That
detail is actually very informative, so rather than just adjust the expected
output, let's revert that part of the patch for now to make the buildfarm
green again, and figure out some other way to avoid the recursion of
PLy_elog() that doesn't lose the detail.
Windows encodings, "win1252" and so forth, are named differently in Python,
like "cp1252". Also, if the PyUnicode_AsEncodedString() function call fails
for some reason, use a plain ereport(), not a PLy_elog(), to report that
error. That avoids recursion and crash, if PLy_elog() tries to call
PLyUnicode_Bytes() again.
This fixes bug reported by Asif Naeem. Backpatch down to 9.0, before that
plpython didn't even try these conversions.
Jan Urbański, with minor comment improvements by me.
The string representation of ImportError changed. Remove printing
that; it's not necessary for the test.
The order in which members of a dict are printed changed. But this
was always implementation-dependent, so we have just been lucky for a
long time. Do the printing the hard way to ensure sorted order.
The old way of implementing slicing support by implementing
PySequenceMethods.sq_slice no longer works in Python 3. You now have
to implement PyMappingMethods.mp_subscript. Do this by simply
proxying the call to the wrapped list of result dictionaries.
Consolidate some of the subscripting regression tests.

It was already on its last legs, and it turns out that it was
accidentally broken in commit 89e850e6fda9e4e441712012abe971fe938d595a
and no one cared. So remove the rest the support for it and update
the documentation to indicate that Python 2.3 is now required.
Add test cases for inline handler of plython2u (when using that
language name), and for result object element assignment. There is
now at least one test case for every top-level functionality, except
plpy.Fatal (annoying to use in regression tests) and result object
slice retrieval and slice assignment (which are somewhat broken).
Allocate PLyResultObject.tupdesc in TopMemoryContext, because its
lifetime is the lifetime of the Python object and it shouldn't be
freed by some other memory context, such as one controlled by SPI. We
trust that the Python object will clean up its own memory.
Before, this would crash the included regression test case by trying
to use memory that was already freed.

Before 9.1, PL/Python functions returning composite types could return
a string and it would be parsed using record_in. The 9.1 changes made
PL/Python only expect dictionaries, tuples, or objects supporting
getattr as output of composite functions, resulting in a regression
and a confusing error message, as the strings were interpreted as
sequences and the code for transforming lists to database tuples was
used. Fix this by treating strings separately as before, before
checking for the other types.
The reason why it's important to support string to database tuple
conversion is that trigger functions on tables with composite columns
get the composite row passed in as a string (from record_out).
Without supporting converting this back using record_in, this makes it
impossible to implement pass-through behavior for these columns, as
PL/Python no longer accepts strings for composite values.
A better solution would be to fix the code that transforms composite
inputs into Python objects to produce dictionaries that would then be
correctly interpreted by the Python->PostgreSQL counterpart code. But
that would be too invasive to backpatch to 9.1, and it is too late in
the 9.2 cycle to attempt it. It should be revisited in the future,
though.

The result object methods colnames() etc. would crash when called
after a command that did not produce a result set. Now they throw an
exception.

Dave Malcolm of Red Hat is working on a static code analysis tool for
Python-related C code. It reported a number of problems in plpython,
most of which were failures to check for NULL results from object-creation
functions, so would only be an issue in very-low-memory situations.
Patch in HEAD and 9.1. We could go further back but it's not clear that
these issues are important enough to justify the work.
Jan Urbański
This replaces the former global variable PLy_curr_procedure, and provides
a place to stash per-call-level information. In particular we create a
per-call-level scratch memory context.
For the moment, the scratch context is just used to avoid leaking memory
from datatype output function calls in PLyDict_FromTuple. There probably
will be more use-cases in future.
Although this is a fix for a pre-existing memory leakage bug, it seems
sufficiently invasive to not want to back-patch; it feels better as part
of the major rearrangement of plpython code that we've already done as
part of 9.2.
Jan Urbański
Don't quote the output of format_procedure(); it's already quoted quite
enough. Remove the fn_name field, which was now just dead weight. Fix
remaining expected-output files.
This got broken by commit 4c6cedd1b014abf2046886a9a92e10e18f0d658e,
which caused PL/pgsql error messages to print the function
signature, not just the name.
Per buildfarm.
Add result object functions .colnames, .coltypes, .coltypmods to
obtain information about the result column names and types, which was
previously not possible in the PL/Python SPI interface.

This moves the code around from one huge file into hopefully logical
and more manageable modules. For the most part, the code itself was
not touched, except: PLy_function_handler and PLy_trigger_handler were
renamed to PLy_exec_function and PLy_exec_trigger, because they were
not actually handlers in the PL handler sense, and it makes the naming
more similar to the way PL/pgSQL is organized. The initialization of
the procedure caches was separated into a new function
init_procedure_caches to keep the hash tables private to
plpy_procedures.c.

Add a function plpy.cursor that is similar to plpy.execute but uses an

The old expression sed 's,$(srcdir),python3,' would normally resolve
as sed 's,.,python3,', which is not really what we wanted. While it
doesn't actually break anything right now, it's still wrong, so put in
a bit more work to make it more robust.
exception handler. This was a regression in 9.1, when the capability
to catch specific SPI errors was added, so backpatch to 9.1.
Mika Eloranta, with some editing by Jan Urbański.
Rewrite plancache.c so that a "cached plan" (which is rather a misnomer
at this point) can support generation of custom, parameter-value-dependent
plans, and can make an intelligent choice between using custom plans and
the traditional generic-plan approach. The specific choice algorithm
implemented here can probably be improved in future, but this commit is
all about getting the mechanism in place, not the policy.
In addition, restructure the API to greatly reduce the amount of extraneous
data copying needed. The main compromise needed to make that possible was
to split the initial creation of a CachedPlanSource into two steps. It's
worth noting in particular that SPI_saveplan is now deprecated in favor of
SPI_keepplan, which accomplishes the same end result with zero data
copying, and no need to then spend even more cycles throwing away the
original SPIPlan. The risk of long-term memory leaks while manipulating
SPIPlans has also been greatly reduced. Most of this improvement is based
on use of the recently-added MemoryContextSetParent primitive.
