Guido van Rossum 38fff8c4e4 Checking in the code for PEP 357.
This was mostly written by Travis Oliphant.
I've inspected it all; Neal Norwitz and MvL have also looked at it
(in an earlier incarnation).

Martin v. Löwis 40d8459dbf Add generation of the version. 2006-02-28 00:30:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c2e20744b2 PEP 343 -- the with-statement.
This was started by Mike Bland and completed by Guido
(with help from Neal).

This still needs a __future__ statement added;
Thomas is working on Michael's patch for that aspect.

There's a small amount of code cleanup and refactoring
in ast.c, compile.c and ceval.c (I fixed the lltrace
behavior when EXT_POP is used -- however I had to make
lltrace a static global).

Thomas Wouters dca3b9c797 PEP 308 implementation, including minor refdocs and some testcases. It
breaks the parser module, because it adds the if/else construct as well as
two new grammar rules for backward compatibility. If no one else fixes
parsermodule, I guess I'll go ahead and fix it later this week.

The TeX code was checked with texcheck.py, but not rendered. There is
actually a slight incompatibility:

>>> (x for x in lambda:0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: iteration over non-sequence

changes into

>>> (x for x in lambda: 0)
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    (x for x in lambda: 0)
                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Since there's no way the former version can be useful, it's probably a
bugfix ;)
2006-02-27 00:24:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1968ad32cd - Patch 1433928:
- The copy module now "copies" function objects (as atomic objects).
  - dict.__getitem__ now looks for a __missing__ hook before raising
    KeyError.
  - Added a new type, defaultdict, to the collections module.
    This uses the new __missing__ hook behavior added to dict (see above).

Tim Peters d34350e47e At Brian Wichmann's request, added words warning against
using the old Wichmann-Hill generator,  Also pointed to
a newer version of his generator, and weakened the claim
about what jumpahead() does now.

Note sure I got the LaTeX entirely correct for \seeurl.
If it's broken, please fix it ;-)

Bugfix candidate!  (These changes make just as much
sense for 2.4.)

Thomas Wouters bbdf6078f6 Fix broken example of csv.reader use (it returns an iterator, which isn't
indexable) by using the same 'for' construct as all other examples. (Also
emphasizes that reading from a random iterable is no different than reading
from a file.)

Armin Rigo a871ef2b3e Added the cProfile module.
Based on lsprof (patch #1212837) by Brett Rosen and Ted Czotter.
With further editing by Michael Hudson and myself.
History in svn repo: http://codespeak.net/svn/user/arigo/hack/misc/lsprof

* Module/_lsprof.c is the internal C module, Lib/cProfile.py a wrapper.
* pstats.py updated to display cProfile's caller/callee timings if available.
* setup.py and NEWS updated.
* documentation updates in the profiler section:
   - explain the differences between the three profilers that we have now
   - profile and cProfile can use a unified documentation, like (c)Pickle
   - mention that hotshot is "for specialized usage" now
   - removed references to the "old profiler" that no longer exists
* test updates:
   - extended test_profile to cover delicate cases like recursion
   - added tests for the caller/callee displays
   - added test_cProfile, performing the same tests for cProfile
* TO-DO:
   - cProfile gives a nicer name to built-in, particularly built-in methods,
     which could be backported to profile.
   - not tested on Windows recently!

Neal Norwitz 0e6bc8c260 Patch #1407135, bug #1424041, make mmap.mmap(-1, length) work the same
on both Unix (SVR4 and BSD) and Windows.  Restores behaviour of passing -1
for anonymous memory on Unix.  Use MAP_ANONYMOUS instead of _ANON since
the latter is deprecated according to Linux (gentoo) man pages.

Should we continue to allow mmap.mmap(0, length) to work on Windows?
0 is a valid fd.

Will backport bugfix portions.

Added links to www.python.org/doc/newstyle.html and a footnote to warn against

many invalid bug reports on SF.

Andrew M. Kuchling b164dafebb [Patch #1375417] Massive rearrangement of the Library Reference.
Fred approved just checking it in; he may make further fixes.

The change shrinks the 'Generic OS' and other OS chapters, which had become
something of a dumping ground for random modules.  It differs from the
last version of the patch: 1) I've added introductions for the new chapters (still missing a few -- search for 'intro')
2) a few modules have been rearranged slightly from the version in the patch

Barry Warsaw 2a38a86c1c Expose Subversion revision number (calculated via "svnversion .") to Python.
Add C API function Py_GetBuildNumber(), add it to the interactive prompt
banner (i.e. Py_GetBuildInfo()), and add it as the sys.build_number
attribute.  The build number is a string instead of an int because it may
contain a trailing 'M' if there are local modifications.

Gregory P. Smith f21a5f7739 [ sf.net patch # 1121611 ]
A new hashlib module to replace the md5 and sha modules.  It adds
support for additional secure hashes such as SHA-256 and SHA-512.  The
hashlib module uses OpenSSL for fast platform optimized
implementations of algorithms when available.  The old md5 and sha
modules still exist as wrappers around hashlib to preserve backwards
compatibility.
