based on the VS 2008 build directory to PC/VS8.0. The script
PCbuild/vs8to9.py was added to sync changes from PCbuild to PC/VS8.0.
Kristjan, the initial creator of the PCbuild8 directory is fine with the replacement. I've moved the new version of the VS 2005 build directory next to the other legacy build directories. The new sync script is based on the work of wreck and syncs changes in the project, property and solution files.
Allows dictionaries to be pre-sized (upto 255 elements) saving time lost
to re-sizes with their attendant mallocs and re-insertions.
Has zero effect on small dictionaries (5 elements or fewer), a slight
benefit for dicts upto 22 elements (because they had to resize once
anyway), and more benefit for dicts upto 255 elements (saving multiple
resizes during the build-up and reducing the number of collisions on
the first insertions). Beyond 255 elements, there is no addional benefit.
Issue #1580: New free format floating point representation based on "Floating-Point Printer Sample Code", by Robert G. Burger. For example repr(11./5) now returns '2.2' instead of '2.2000000000000002'.
Thanks to noam for the patch! I had to modify doubledigits.c slightly to support X64 and IA64 machines on Windows. I also added the new file to the three project files.
on 32-bit systems on 64-bit systems, and vice versa. As a consequence
of the change, Random pickles created by Python 2.6 cannot be loaded
in Python 2.5.
Added PyFloat_GetMax(), PyFloat_GetMin() and PyFloat_GetInfo() to the float API.
Added a dictionary sys.float_info with information about the internal floating point type to the sys module.
newlines; it doesn't. To rectify this the string returned replaces all
instances of os.linesep with '\n' to fake universal newline support.
Backport candidate.
Correction for issue1265 (pdb bug with "with" statement).
When an unfinished generator-iterator is garbage collected, PyEval_EvalFrameEx
is called with a GeneratorExit exception set. This leads to funny results
if the sys.settrace function itself makes use of generators.
A visible effect is that the settrace function is reset to None.
Another is that the eventual "finally" block of the generator is not called.
It is necessary to save/restore the exception around the call to the trace
function.
This happens a lot with py3k: isinstance() of an ABCMeta instance runs
def __instancecheck__(cls, instance):
"""Override for isinstance(instance, cls)."""
return any(cls.__subclasscheck__(c)
for c in {instance.__class__, type(instance)})
which lets an opened generator expression each time it returns True.
Backport candidate, even if the case is less frequent in 2.5.
