* Bring in free list from dictionary code.
* Improve several comments.
* Differencing can leave many dummy entries. If more than
1/6 are dummies, then resize them away.
* Factor-out common code with new macro, PyAnySet_CheckExact.
- Handle both frozenset() and frozenset([]).
- Do not use singleton for frozenset subclasses.
- Finalize the singleton.
- Add test cases.
* Factor-out set_update_internal() from set_update(). Simplifies the
code for several internal callers.
* Factor constant expressions out of loop in set_merge_internal().
* Minor comment touch-ups.
[ 1180995 ] binary formats for marshalling floats
Adds 2 new type codes for marshal (binary floats and binary complexes), a
new marshal version (2), updates MAGIC and fiddles the de-serializing of
code objects to be less likely to clobber the real reason for failing if
it fails.
[ 1181301 ] make float packing copy bytes when they can
which hasn't been reviewed, despite numerous threats to check it in
anyway if noone reviews it. Please read the diff on the checkin list,
at least!
The basic idea is to examine the bytes of some 'probe values' to see if
the current platform is a IEEE 754-ish platform, and if so
_PyFloat_{Pack,Unpack}{4,8} just copy bytes around.
The rest is hair for testing, and tests.

This patch trims down the Python core on Darwin by making it
independent of CoreFoundation and CoreServices. It does this by:
Changed linker flags in configure/configure.in
Removed the unused PyMac_GetAppletScriptFile
Moved the implementation of PyMac_StrError to the MacOS module
Moved the implementation of PyMac_GetFullPathname to the
Carbon.File module
In cyclic gc, clear weakrefs to unreachable objects before allowing any
Python code (weakref callbacks or __del__ methods) to run.
This is a critical bugfix, affecting all versions of Python since weakrefs
were introduced. I'll backport to 2.3.
exposed in header files. Fixed a few comments in these headers.
As we might have expected, writing down invariants systematically exposed a
(minor) bug. In this case, function objects have a writeable func_code
attribute, which could be set to code objects with the wrong number of
free variables. Calling the resulting function segfaulted the interpreter.
Added a corresponding test.
today. pyconfig.h can override it if not, and can also override
Py_IS_INFINITY now. Py_IS_NAN and Py_IS_INFINITY are overridden now
for Microsoft compilers, using efficient MS-specific spellings.
decoding incomplete input (when the input stream is temporarily exhausted).
codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper
readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read()
has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to
return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines()
have a new argument keepends. Trailing "\n"s will be stripped from the lines
if keepends is false. Added C APIs PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful and
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16Stateful.
This checkin is adapted from part 2 (of 3) of Trevor Perrin's patch set.
BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY: SHIFT must now be divisible by 5. AFAIK,
nobody will care. long_pow() could be complicated to worm around that,
if necessary.
long_pow():
- BUGFIX: This leaked the base and power when the power was negative
(and so the computation delegated to float pow).
- Instead of doing right-to-left exponentiation, do left-to-right. This
is more efficient for small bases, which is the common case.
- In addition, if the exponent is large (more than FIVEARY_CUTOFF
digits), precompute [a**i % c for i in range(32)], and go left to
right 5 bits at a time.
l_divmod():
- The signature changed so that callers who don't want the quotient,
or don't want the remainder, can pass NULL in the slot they don't
want. This saves them from having to declare a vrbl for unwanted
stuff, and remembering to decref it.
long_mod(), long_div(), long_classic_div():
- Adjust to new l_divmod() signature, and simplified as a result.
This checkin is adapted from part 1 (of 3) of Trevor Perrin's patch set.
x_mul()
- sped a little by optimizing the C
- sped a lot (~2X) if it's doing a square; note that long_pow() squares
often
k_mul()
- more cache-friendly now if it's doing a square
KARATSUBA_CUTOFF
- boosted; gradeschool mult is quicker now, and it may have been too low
for many platforms anyway
KARATSUBA_SQUARE_CUTOFF
- new
- since x_mul is a lot faster at squaring now, the point at which
Karatsuba pays for squaring is much higher than for general mult
happen in 2.3, but nobody noticed it still was getting generated (the
warning was disabled by default). OverflowWarning and
PyExc_OverflowWarning should be removed for 2.5, and left notes all over
saying so.
unicodedata.east_asian_width(). You can still implement your own
simple width() function using it like this:
def width(u):
w = 0
for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2
else: w += 1
return w
or broken by basic ctype functions in 4.4BSD descendants. This
will be fixed in their future development branches but they'll keep
the POSIX-incompatibility for their backward-compatiblities in near
future.
to NULL during the lifetime of the object.
* listobject.c nevertheless did not conform to the other invariants,
either; fixed.
* listobject.c now uses list_clear() as the obvious internal way to clear
a list, instead of abusing list_ass_slice() for that. It makes it easier
to enforce the invariant about ob_item == NULL.
* listsort() sets allocated to -1 during sort; any mutation will set it
to a value >= 0, so it is a safe way to detect mutation. A negative
value for allocated does not cause a problem elsewhere currently.
test_sort.py has a new test for this fix.
* listsort() leak: if items were added to the list during the sort, AND if
these items had a __del__ that puts still more stuff into the list,
then this more stuff (and the PyObject** array to hold them) were
overridden at the end of listsort() and never released.
mutation during list.sort() used to rely on that listobject.c always
NULL'ed ob_item when ob_size fell to 0. That's no longer true, so the
test for list mutation during a sort is no longer reliable. Changed the
test to rely instead on that listobject.c now never NULLs-out ob_item
after (if ever) ob_item gets a non-NULL value. This new assumption is
also documented now, as a required invariant in listobject.h.
The new assumption allowed some real simplification to some of the
hairier code in listsort(), so is a Good Thing on that count.
