This commit improves Python 3 compatibility and fixes two multidict
issues:
1. Headers.items(multi=True) now decodes fields
2. MultiDict.clear(item) has been removed, as Python's
MutableMapping already defines .clear() with different
semantics. This is confusing for everyone who expects a
dict-like object. `.pop("attr", None)` is not fantastic,
but it's the Python way to do it.
- Adds default implementations for _kconv and _reduce_values to MultiDict.
Without these, operations fail in really, really non-obvious ways.
- Replace the remaining few instances of ODict
Fixes#1159
- The canonical source for :method, :scheme and :path are the .method, .scheme
and .path attributes on the request object.
- These pseudo-headers are stripped after reading the request, and re-inserted
just before sending.
- The :authority header remains, and should be handled analagously to the Host
header in HTTP1 with respect to display and user interaction.
This makes MultiDictView work with a simple getter/setter pair, rather than
using attributes with implicit leading underscores. Also move MultiDictView
into multidict.py and adds some simple unit tests.
This commit introduces MultiDict, a multi-dictionary similar to
ODict, but with improved semantics (as in the Headers class).
MultiDict fixes a few issues that were present in the Request/Response
API. In particular, `request.cookies["foo"] = "bar"` has previously been a
no-op, as the cookies property returned a mutable _copy_ of the cookies.
