The patch also renames sys._cleartypecache to sys._clear_type_cache

  a new function, ehlo_or_helo_if_needed().
- Use ehlo_or_helo_if_needed() in starttls()

Andrew M. Kuchling 7b1e917e41 Restore description of sys.dont_write_bytecode. 
The duplication is intentional -- this paragraph is in a section
describing additions to the sys module, and there's a later section
that mentions the switch.  I think most people scan the what's-new and
don't read it in detail, so a bit of duplication is OK.

Jeffrey Yasskin d7b00334f3 Add rational.Rational as an implementation of numbers.Rational with infinite 
precision. This has been discussed at http://bugs.python.org/issue1682. It's
useful primarily for teaching, but it also demonstrates how to implement a
member of the numeric tower, including fallbacks for mixed-mode arithmetic.

I expect to write a couple more patches in this area:
 * Rational.from_decimal()
 * Rational.trim/approximate() (maybe with different names)
 * Maybe remove the parentheses from Rational.__str__()
 * Maybe rename one of the Rational classes
 * Maybe make Rational('3/2') work.

Raymond Hettinger 15b5e55b48 Neaten-up the named tuple docs 2008-01-10 23:00:01 +00:00
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc d08a8ebf2a Closing issue1761. 
Surprising behaviour of the "$" regexp: it matches the
end of the string, AND just before the newline at the end
of the string::

    re.sub('$', '#', 'foo\n') == 'foo#\n#'

Python is consistent with Perl and the pcre library, so
we just document it.
Guido prefers "\Z" to match only the end of the string.
