It works like the pure python verion except:

* the data queue is implemented with two stacks instead of one dictionary.

Raymond Hettinger 2f726e9093 SF bug #812202: randint is always even 
* Added C coded getrandbits(k) method that runs in linear time.
* Call the new method from randrange() for ranges >= 2**53.
* Adds a warning for generators not defining getrandbits() whenever they
  have a call to randrange() with too large of a population.

Skip Montanaro dffeed3ffa Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnames 
is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames.  In the common case,
this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time.
The first row of the file will be used.  In the uncommon case, this means
the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time
and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can
contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.

Barry Warsaw 463c5a868f Update get_param() description to reflect changes to the docstring. 2003-08-19 04:26:59 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 6a1801271a Improvements to set.py: 
* Relaxed the argument restrictions for non-operator methods.  They now
  allow any iterable instead of requiring a set.  This makes the module
  a little easier to use and paves the way for an efficient C
  implementation which can take better advantage of iterable arguments
  while screening out immutables.

* Deprecated Set.update() because it now duplicates Set.union_update()

* Adapted the tests and docs to include the above changes.

* Added more test coverage including testing identities and checking
  to make sure non-restartable generators work as arguments.

Will backport to Py2.3.1 so that the interface remains consistent
across versions.  The deprecation of update() will be changed to
a FutureWarning.
 2003-08-17 08:34:09 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 7ceb29e4a5 Incorporate documentation suggestions from feedback on comp.lang.python. 
* Positive wording for the description of why < and > and = can all
  be False.

* Move to a three column table format that puts long method names
  side-by-side with their operator equivalents

* Mention that KeyError can be raised by Set.pop() and Set.remove().

* Minor tweaks to the examples.

Will backport as soon as Fred rebuilds the docs so I can confirm
the tables formatted properly

Skip Montanaro bfa6872260 Zap the C API subsection altogether for now. It's not actually usable from 
C yet anyway.
 2003-07-16 21:14:35 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 2491cd98c4 expose the C API subsection which was hidden from LaTeX in a comment. In 
the info conversion the \comment LaTeX macro mapped to a Texinfo @ignore
macro.  Unfortunately, py2texi.el is not smart enough to avoid generating
links to the @ignore'd section, which causes makeinfo to croak.

Exposing this text is probably not the most correct thing to do, as this
documentation really belongs in the C API manual.  This does get the info
files generated, however, which is a more practical goal considering the
impending release of 2.3rc1.
 2003-07-16 19:46:07 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 71adf7e9d8 Doctest now examines all docstrings by default. Previously, it would 
skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore
naming convention).  The old default created too much of a risk that
user tests were being skipped inadvertently.  Note, this change could
break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put
failing tests in the docstrings of private functions.  The breakage
is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod()
or Tester().  The more likely case is that the silent failure was
unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be
fixed.
 2003-07-16 19:25:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 853276e16d Lots of markup cleanups to avoid warnings from the GNU info generation;

SF bug #760703: SocketHandler and LogRecord don't work well together
SF bug #757821: logging module docs

Applied Vinay Sajip's patch with a few minor fixups and a NEWS item.

Patched __init__.py - added new function
makeLogRecord (for bug report 760703).

Patched handlers.py - updated some docstrings and
deleted some old commented-out code.

Patched test_logging.py to make use of makeLogRecord.

Patched liblogging.tex to fill documentation gaps (both
760703 and bug 757821).

Tim Peters 6ebe61fa80 A hack to ease compatibility with pre-2.3 Pythons: by default, doctest 
now accepts "True" when a test expects "1", and similarly for "False"
versus "0".  This is un-doctest-like, but on balance makes it much
more pleasant to write doctests that pass under 2.2 and 2.3.  I expect
it to go away again, when 2.2 is forgotten.  In the meantime, there's
a new doctest module constant that can be passed to a new optional
argument, if you want to turn this behavior off.

Note that this substitution is very simple-minded:  the expected and
actual outputs have to consist of single tokens.  No attempt is made,
e.g., to accept [True, False] when a test expects [1, 0].  This is a
simple hack for simple tests, and I intend to keep it that way.

to their website for license details.

Document that 'r' is the default flag for the legacy bsddb btopen(),
hashopen(), and rnopen() functions.  This is apparently different than the
dbm libraries in other languages according to Bug #732951.  Changing
the default from 'r' to 'c' would break backwards compatibility with
legacy bsddb applications; documenting the default should suffice.
