currently return inconsistent results for ints and longs; in
particular: hex/oct/%u/%o/%x/%X of negative short ints, and x<<n that
either loses bits or changes sign. (No warnings for repr() of a long,
though that will also change to lose the trailing 'L' eventually.)
This introduces some warnings in the test suite; I'll take care of
those later.
This is friendlier for caches.
2. Cut MIN_GALLOP to 7, but added a per-sort min_gallop vrbl that adapts
the "get into galloping mode" threshold higher when galloping isn't
paying, and lower when it is. There's no known case where this hurts.
It's (of course) neutral for /sort, \sort and =sort. It also happens
to be neutral for !sort. It cuts a tiny # of compares in 3sort and +sort.
For *sort, it reduces the # of compares to better than what this used to
do when MIN_GALLOP was hardcoded to 10 (it did about 0.1% more *sort
compares before, but given how close we are to the limit, this is "a
lot"!). %sort used to do about 1.5% more compares, and ~sort about
3.6% more. Here are exact counts:
i *sort 3sort +sort %sort ~sort !sort

3. Added some key asserts I overlooked before.
4. Updated the doc file.
before %sort was introduced. Redid them (the numbers change, but the
conclusions don't). Also did the samplesort counts with the released
2.2.1, as they're slightly different under the last CVS 2.3 samplesort
(some higher, some lower -- CVS had been changed to stop doing the
special-case business on recursive samplesort calls).
directories clean where the packages are unpacked. Each package now
contains a single directory, Python-Docs-<version>/, which contains the
files for that version of the documentation.
Closes SF feature request #567576.
rewrite, by Zack Weinberg). This replaces most code in tempfile.py
(please review!!!) and adds extensive unit tests for it.
This will cause some warnings in the test suite; I'll check those in
soon, and also the docs.
example of where this changes behavior is when a new-style instance
defines '__mul__' and '__rmul__' and is multiplied by an int. Before the
change the '__rmul__' method is never called, even if the int is the
left operand.
