Restricted: bug fixes, support generator and collections module
Add some features to restricted python and fix problems revealed by running Zope's test suites.
Bug fixes
- Disallow access to old style classes without security declarations. This is not allowed in vanilla zope, but we allowed this accidentally about two years ago. This branch includes some fixes for cases where we accessed not protected classes in a way that should not have been allowed - ERP5 test suite pass, but there might be more cases in code not covered by ERP5 test suite.
- Fix iterating on
reversed(iterable)
which was unauthorized, maybe since python 2.7 - Disallow new style classes in container access (iteration,
{}.get
etc). Only classes had this problem, not instances, so this probably has no impact for us, but it allows running AccessControl test suite. - Disallow attribute names ending in
__roles__
in class name. This probably does not impact us either, but also for AccessControl tests suite.
New features
- Allow iterating on a generator. It's still not possible to use
yield
statement in restricted python, but iterating is now possible - Allow
cStringIO.StringIO("initial value")
, onlycStringIO.StringIO()
was allowed - Enable
collections.namedtuple
and add a few tests for other members ofcollections
( notcollections.deque
because we never used it so far )
