Guido van Rossum 7d5b99d8bf A new standard module, as discussed on comp.lang.python, to simplify
the writing of filters.

Typical use is:

    import fileinput
    for line in fileinput.input():
        process(line)

This iterates over the lines of all files listed in sys.argv[1:],
defaulting to sys.stdin if the list is empty or when a filename is
'-'.

There is also an option to use this to direct the output back to the
input files.

Guido van Rossum 2aa78efab1 Add a pointer back to the wizard in the "compat" output. 1997-11-21 16:37:54 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 0d2d759d8c PySocketSock_methods: Added "connect_ex" so the method can actually be
called!

Handbook of Object Technology.

Guido van Rossum e084f0beea Add description for some modules that have been added since this intro
section was last revised...

Guido van Rossum 3472026347 Add description for Queue; fix typo (whichdbm should be whichdb). 1997-11-20 21:00:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum db847bd9ea Plug memory leak in Py_BuildValue when using {...} to construct dictionaries. 1997-11-20 20:35:45 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3d96d522ec (Queue.Empty): When class based exceptions are in force, derive this
class from the standard base exception Exception.  Otherwise define
Queue.Empty as a string exception.

(Queue): 8-space to 4-space indentation conversion.  Also, basically
recast all method comments into docstrings.
1997-11-20 19:56:38 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 17c8e781c0 libqueue.tex: Documentation for the Queue.py module.
Makefile: Add dependency on libqueue.tex

lib.tex: Place the libqueue.tex documentation just after libthread.tex
since Queue depends on thread support in Python.

Guido van Rossum f5831ae92e New blurb, derived from my Handbook of Object Technology abstract. 1997-11-20 15:42:18 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4552f3d6de In the description of sub(), give a better explanation of the
interface when repl is a function.  Also give a simple example of
using a function repl.

Guido van Rossum bd1169a93e Add Martin von Loewis as the author of this module. 1997-11-19 19:02:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum eef1d4e8b1 User-level locale module. A wrapper around _locale which adds
format(), str(), atof(), and atoi().  The last three are locale
sensitive versions of the corresponding standard functions (only for
numbers though); format() does general %[efg] formatting taking the
locale into account, optionally with thousands grouping.
1997-11-19 19:01:43 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3df69bca0a Add support for _locale. 1997-11-19 18:57:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fc4255db75 Add s.connect_ex() which returns errno instead of raising an exception. 1997-11-19 18:57:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aec7497f6f Add optional support fort Tix and BLT. 1997-11-19 18:56:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2e58ff3ef5 Fix importing of shared libraries from inside packages.
This is a bit of a hack: when the shared library is loaded, the module
name is "package.module", but the module calls Py_InitModule*() with just
"module" for the name.  The shared library loader squirrels away the true
name of the module in _Py_PackageContext, and Py_InitModule*() will
substitute this (if the name actually matches).
1997-11-19 18:53:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ee6fd1c392 Add declaration for _Py_PackageContext -- needed to fix importing
of shared libraries from inside packages.
1997-11-19 18:51:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 858cb73bb2 Two changes (here we go again :-( ).
1) The __builtins__ variable in the __main__ module is set to the
__builtin__ module instead of its __dict__.

2) Get rid of the SIGHUP and SIGTERM handlers.  They can't be made to
work reliably when threads may be in use, they are Unix specific, and
Python programmers can now program this functionality is a safer way
using the signal module.

Guido van Rossum df9db1ea18 Give more detailed error message when the argument count isn't right. 1997-11-19 16:05:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 127b8dd8d4 Add declaration for PyNumber_CoerceEx(). 1997-11-19 16:04:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 242c64256c Add a new function PyNumber_CoerceEx() which works just like
PyNumber_Coerce() except that when the coercion can't be done and no
other exceptions happen, it returns 1 instead of raising an
exception.

Use this function in PyObject_Compare() to avoid raising an exception
simply because two objects with numeric behavior can't be coerced to a
common type; instead, proceed with the non-numeric default comparison.

Note that this is a somewhat questionable practice -- comparisons for
numeric objects shouldn't default to random behavior like this, but it
is required for backward compatibility.  (Case in point, it broke
comparison of kjDict objects to integers in Aaron Watters' kjbuckets
extension.)  A correct fix (for python 2.0) should involve a different
definiton of comparison altogether.

Guido van Rossum 220ecc8c4b Martin von Loewis' _locale module (locale.py follows tomorrow). 1997-11-18 21:03:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3931df9250 Undo another glitch of the automatic not-so-Grand Renaming; some local
variables called 'coerce' were accidentally renamed to
'PyNumber_Coerce'.  Rename them back to coercefunc.

is indeed a dictionary (or a mapping).
