Tim Peters 29978aedcb The docs claimed a test would pass that actually wouldn't pass. Repaired 
the example so it does pass.

David Goodger 1cbf206d32 SF bug #997050: Document, test, & check for non-string values in ConfigParser. Moved the new string-only restriction added in rev. 1.65 to the SafeConfigParser class, leaving existing ConfigParser & RawConfigParser behavior alone, and documented the conditions under which non-string values work. 2004-10-03 15:55:09 +00:00

Barry Warsaw bb11386730 Big email 3.0 API changes, with updated unit tests and documentation. 
Briefly (from the NEWS file):

- Updates for the email package:
  + All deprecated APIs that in email 2.x issued warnings have been removed:
    _encoder argument to the MIMEText constructor, Message.add_payload(),
    Utils.dump_address_pair(), Utils.decode(), Utils.encode()
  + New deprecations: Generator.__call__(), Message.get_type(),
    Message.get_main_type(), Message.get_subtype(), the 'strict' argument to
    the Parser constructor.  These will be removed in email 3.1.
  + Support for Python earlier than 2.3 has been removed (see PEP 291).
  + All defect classes have been renamed to end in 'Defect'.
  + Some FeedParser fixes; also a MultipartInvariantViolationDefect will be
    added to messages that claim to be multipart but really aren't.
  + Updates to documentation.

Skip Montanaro 67db9a5b72 typo 2004-09-28 18:30:03 +00:00
Tim Peters 01ba799244 A number of list examples used 66.6, but I doubt there's any box on which 
repr(66.6) == "66.6", so doubt that the claimed output has ever been seen.
Changed it to 66.25 everywhere, and manually verified that the new claimed
output is correct.
 2004-09-28 16:12:50 +00:00
Edward Loper 7d88a58e85 Reverted the addition of a NORMALIZE_NUMBERS option, per Tim Peter's 
request.  Tim says that "correct 'fuzzy' comparison of floats cannot
be automated."  (The motivation behind adding the new option
was verifying interactive examples in Python's latex documentation;
several such examples use numbers that don't print consistently on
different platforms.)
 2004-09-28 05:50:57 +00:00
Edward Loper aec3c9b54f Added a new NORMALIZE_NUMBERS option, which causes number literals in 
the expected output to match corresponding number literals in the
actual output if their values are equal (to ten digits of precision).

Tim Peters 8c0a2cf938 Explain the motivation for the unittest functions, and beef up the 
example.  Squash repeated argument descriptions.  Minor rewordings.
 2004-09-25 03:02:23 +00:00
Tim Peters b2b26aca13 Repaired mistakes in the descriptions of testmod()/testfile(), and 
squashed massive duplication of common argument descriptions.
 2004-09-25 01:51:49 +00:00
Tim Peters 2dc820599b Since the doctest warnings section was reduced to one bullet point, 
get rid of the itemize structure.
 2004-09-25 01:30:16 +00:00
Tim Peters 39c5de0376 In the "doctest warnings" section, removed obsolete info, and noted that 
ELLIPSIS can be used to deal with examples that embed object addresses.
 2004-09-25 01:22:29 +00:00
Johannes Gijsbers 24f141ab46 Raymond observed that sometimes it's better not to link modules, so I reverted 
part of my previous last changes.
 2004-09-25 00:55:38 +00:00
Tim Peters 06cc847cee Beef up the section on testfile(), giving a complete example in 
reStructuredText format.  Remove words describing the return value of
testmod() and testfile() in the intro sections, since it's never
useful in such simple cases.

Johannes Gijsbers 27ebcae450 - Use itemize instead of plain-text '*' for marking up a list. 
- Add more ulink's to modules (this should probably become a standard macro).

Vinay Sajip 739d49e39b Added log() function documentation 2004-09-24 11:46:44 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 596ba4d89e Granted Noam Raphael's request for minor improvements to the re module and 
its documentation.

* Documented that the compiled re methods are supposed to be more full
  featured than their simpilified function counterparts.

* Documented the existing start and stop position arguments for the
  findall() and finditer() methods of compiled regular expression objects.

* Added an optional flags argument to the re.findall() and re.finditer()
  functions.  This aligns their API with that for re.search() and
  re.match().

Johannes Gijsbers 6ab4b99f95 Patch #1025795: clarify language in Data Structures chapter of tutorial: 
- Dictionary keys are in arbitrary order, but not random (which implies, well,
  intentional randomness).
- Move a footnote closer to what it's talking about so that it doesn't look
  like we're saying that "0 == 0.0" can't be relied on.
- Minor language tweaks in the vicinity.

Walter Dörwald 69652035bc SF patch #998993: The UTF-8 and the UTF-16 stateful decoders now support 
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.

Tim Peters 1fbf9c5ec1 Added IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL comparison option. The need is explained

Skip Montanaro 0bbf137fbd Make the api of the _dispatch() method more concrete. I have no idea if 
this is the right way to document such things (Fred, help me out here :-),
but I got misled by the existing documentation and assumed the parameter
list was a *args sort of thing.

 2004-08-31 10:07:13 +00:00
Tim Peters 38330fe5ef The distinction between comparison flags and reporting flags isn't unique 
to unittest, so make it official:  new module constants COMPARISON_FLAGS
and REPORTING_FLAGS, which are bitmasks or'ing together the relevant
individual option flags.

set_unittest_reportflags():  Reworked to use REPORTING_FLAGS, and
simplified overly complicated flag logic.

class FakeModule:  Removed this; neither documented nor used.

Raymond Hettinger f4fd79ca49 Small wording fixups. 2004-08-26 03:11:56 +00:00
Edward Loper a89f88d53f Added REPORT_ONLY_FIRST_FAILURE flag, which supresses output after the 
first failing example in each test.
 2004-08-26 02:45:51 +00:00
Edward Loper 71f55af826 Renamed UNIFIED_DIFF->REPORT_UDIFF; CONTEXT_DIFF->REPORT_CDIFF; and 
NDIFF_DIFF->REPORT_NDIFF.  This establishes the naming convention that
all reporting options should begin with "REPORT_" (since reporting
options are a different class from output comparison options; but they

a traceback message.  I.e., examples that raise exceptions may no

doctest in python 2.3.  The ability to check pre-exception output is
being removed because it makes the documentation simpler; and because
there are very few use cases for it.

Michael W. Hudson 0ccff074cd This is Mark Russell's patch: 
[ 1009560 ] Fix @decorator evaluation order

From the description:

Changes in this patch:

- Change Grammar/Grammar to require
newlines between adjacent decorators.

- Fix order of evaluation of decorators
in the C (compile.c) and python
(Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py) compilers

- Add better order of evaluation check
to test_decorators.py (test_eval_order)

- Update the decorator documentation in
the reference manual (improve description
of evaluation order and update syntax
description)

and the comment:

Used Brett's evaluation order (see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/047835.html)

talk to him)

Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function
is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing.

Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New().  This fixes a variety
of bogus errors.  Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now.

Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that
CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to
native C longs.

Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that
relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.

Fred Drake d04573fef0 This allows additional commands to be provided for existing setup.py

Specifically, an option is added to distutils that allows additional
packages to be searched for command implementations in addition to
distutils.command.  The additional packages can be specified on the
command line or via the installation or personal configuration files
already loaded by distutils.

- lgettext(), lngettext(), ldgettext(), ldngettext(),
  which return translated strings encoded in
  preferred system encoding, if
  bind_textdomain_codeset() was not used.
- Added equivalent functionality in translate()
  function and catalog classes.

necessarily an error return (and it doesn't matter to the tp_traverse

Tim Peters 5af0e41482 Bug #788520: Queue class has logic error when non-blocking 
I don't agree it had a bug (see the report), so this is *not* a candidate
for backporting, but the docs were confusing and the Queue implementation
was old enough to vote.

Rewrote put/put_nowait/get/get_nowait from scratch, to use a pair of
Conditions (not_full and not_empty), sharing a common mutex.  The code
is 1/4 the size now, and 6.25x easier to understand.  For blocking
with timeout, we also get to reuse (indirectly) the tedious timeout
code from threading.Condition.  The Full and Empty exceptions raised
by non-blocking calls are now easy (instead of nearly impossible) to
explain truthfully:  Full is raised if and only if the Queue truly
is full when the non-blocking put call checks the queue size, and
similarly for Empty versus non-blocking get.

What I don't know is whether the new implementation is slower (or
faster) than the old one.  I don't really care.  Anyone who cares
a lot is encouraged to check that.

Fred Drake 0a4dd390bf Make weak references subclassable: 
- weakref.ref and weakref.ReferenceType will become aliases for each
  other

- weakref.ref will be a modern, new-style class with proper __new__
  and __init__ methods

- weakref.WeakValueDictionary will have a lighter memory footprint,
  using a new weakref.ref subclass to associate the key with the
  value, allowing us to have only a single object of overhead for each
  dictionary entry (currently, there are 3 objects of overhead per
  entry: a weakref to the value, a weakref to the dictionary, and a
  function object used as a weakref callback; the weakref to the
  dictionary could be avoided without this change)

- a new macro, PyWeakref_CheckRefExact(), will be added

- PyWeakref_CheckRef() will check for subclasses of weakref.ref

This closes SF patch #983019.
