Tim Peters 2f228e75e4 Get rid of the superstitious "~" in dict hashing's "i = (~hash) & mask".
The comment following used to say:
	/* We use ~hash instead of hash, as degenerate hash functions, such
	   as for ints <sigh>, can have lots of leading zeros. It's not
	   really a performance risk, but better safe than sorry.
	   12-Dec-00 tim:  so ~hash produces lots of leading ones instead --
	   what's the gain? */
That is, there was never a good reason for doing it.  And to the contrary,
as explained on Python-Dev last December, it tended to make the *sum*
(i + incr) & mask (which is the first table index examined in case of
collison) the same "too often" across distinct hashes.

Changing to the simpler "i = hash & mask" reduced the number of string-dict
collisions (== # number of times we go around the lookup for-loop) from about
6 million to 5 million during a full run of the test suite (these are
approximate because the test suite does some random stuff from run to run).
The number of collisions in non-string dicts also decreased, but not as
dramatically.

Note that this may, for a given dict, change the order (wrt previous
releases) of entries exposed by .keys(), .values() and .items().  A number
of std tests suffered bogus failures as a result.  For dicts keyed by
small ints, or (less so) by characters, the order is much more likely to be
in increasing order of key now; e.g.,

>>> d = {}
>>> for i in range(10):
...    d[i] = i
...
>>> d
{0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 4, 5: 5, 6: 6, 7: 7, 8: 8, 9: 9}
>>>

Unfortunately. people may latch on to that in small examples and draw a
bogus conclusion.

test_support.py
    Moved test_extcall's sortdict() into test_support, made it stronger,
    and imported sortdict into other std tests that needed it.
test_unicode.py
    Excluced cp875 from the "roundtrip over range(128)" test, because
    cp875 doesn't have a well-defined inverse for unicode("?", "cp875").
    See Python-Dev for excruciating details.
Cookie.py
    Chaged various output functions to sort dicts before building
    strings from them.
test_extcall
    Fiddled the expected-result file.  This remains sensitive to native
    dict ordering, because, e.g., if there are multiple errors in a
    keyword-arg dict (and test_extcall sets up many cases like that), the
    specific error Python complains about first depends on native dict
    ordering.

Tim Peters d85e102337 Variant of patch #423262: Change module attribute get & set
Allow module getattr and setattr to exploit string interning, via the
previously null module object tp_getattro and tp_setattro slots.   Yields
a very nice speedup for things like random.random and os.path etc.

Tim Peters 95bf9390a4 SF bug #422121 Insecurities in dict comparison.
Fixed a half dozen ways in which general dict comparison could crash
Python (even cause Win98SE to reboot) in the presence of kay and/or
value comparison routines that mutate the dict during dict comparison.
Bugfix candidate.

is faster now (especially when inequality obtains).

Tim Peters 8572b4fedf Generalize zip() to work with iterators.
NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
More AttributeErrors transmuted into TypeErrors, in test_b2.py, and,
again, this strikes me as a good thing.
This checkin completes the iterator generalization work that obviously
needed to be done.  Can anyone think of others that should be changed?

Tim Peters de9725f135 Make 'x in y' and 'x not in y' (PySequence_Contains) play nice w/ iterators.
NEEDS DOC CHANGES
A few more AttributeErrors turned into TypeErrors, but in test_contains
this time.
The full story for instance objects is pretty much unexplainable, because
instance_contains() tries its own flavor of iteration-based containment
testing first, and PySequence_Contains doesn't get a chance at it unless
instance_contains() blows up.  A consequence is that
    some_complex_number in some_instance
dies with a TypeError unless some_instance.__class__ defines __iter__ but
does not define __getitem__.
2001-05-05 10:06:17 +00:00
Tim Peters 2cfe368283 Make unicode.join() work nice with iterators. This also required a change
to string.join(), so that when the latter figures out in midstream that
it really needs unicode.join() instead, unicode.join() can actually get
all the sequence elements (i.e., there's no guarantee that the sequence
passed to string.join() can be iterated over *again* by unicode.join(),
so string.join() must not pass on the original sequence object anymore).
2001-05-05 05:36:48 +00:00
Tim Peters 432b42aa4c Mark string.join() as done. Turns out string_join() works "for free" now,
because PySequence_Fast() started working for free as soon as
PySequence_Tuple() learned how to work with iterators.  For some reason
unicode.join() still doesn't work, though.
2001-05-05 04:24:43 +00:00
Tim Peters 6912d4ddf0 Generalize tuple() to work nicely with iterators.
NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
This one surprised me!  While I expected tuple() to be a no-brainer, turns
out it's actually dripping with consequences:
1. It will *allow* the popular PySequence_Fast() to work with any iterable
   object (code for that not yet checked in, but should be trivial).
2. It caused two std tests to fail.  This because some places used
   PyTuple_Sequence() (the C spelling of tuple()) as an indirect way to test
   whether something *is* a sequence.  But tuple() code only looked for the
   existence of sq->item to determine that, and e.g. an instance passed
   that test whether or not it supported the other operations tuple()
   needed (e.g., __len__).  So some things the tests *expected* to fail
   with an AttributeError now fail with a TypeError instead.  This looks
   like an improvement to me; e.g., test_coercion used to produce 559
   TypeErrors and 2 AttributeErrors, and now they're all TypeErrors.  The
   error details are more informative too, because the places calling this
   were *looking* for TypeErrors in order to replace the generic tuple()
   "not a sequence" msg with their own more specific text, and
   AttributeErrors snuck by that.

2001-05-04 04:39:21 +00:00
Tim Peters 4e9afdca39 Generalize map() to work with iterators.
NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
Possibly contentious:  The first time s.next() yields StopIteration (for
a given map argument s) is the last time map() *tries* s.next().  That
is, if other sequence args are longer, s will never again contribute
anything but None values to the result, even if trying s.next() again
could yield another result.  This is the same behavior map() used to have
wrt IndexError, so it's the only way to be wholly backward-compatible.
I'm not a fan of letting StopIteration mean "try again later" anyway.

Tim Peters f553f89d45 Generalize list(seq) to work with iterators. This also generalizes list()
to no longer insist that len(seq) be defined.
NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
This is meant to be a model for how other functions of this ilk (max,
filter, etc) can be generalized similarly.  Feel encouraged to grab your
favorite and convert it!
Note some cute consequences:
    list(file) == file.readlines() == list(file.xreadlines())
    list(dict) == dict.keys()
    list(dict.iteritems()) = dict.items()
    list(xrange(i, j, k)) == range(i, j, k)

Fred Drake 4e262a9631 A small change to the C API for weakly-referencable types: Such types
must now initialize the extra field used by the weak-ref machinery to
NULL themselves, to avoid having to require PyObject_INIT() to check
if the type supports weak references and do it there.  This causes less
work to be done for all objects (the type object does not need to be
consulted to check for the Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_WEAKREFS bit).

- A new subclass of UnixMailbox is added, called PortableUnixMailbox.
  It's identical to UnixMailbox, but uses a more portable test for
  From_ delimiter lines.  With PortableUnixMailbox, any line that
  starts with "From " is considered a delimiter (this should really

PyMember_Set of T_CHAR always raises exception.

there's no .py test I can check in to verify this stays fixed.  But the fault in the

in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new
machinery!).

Tim Peters d7b5e88e8e Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all the
functionality of, whrandom.py.  Also closes all the "XXX" todos in
random.py.  New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and
setstate().  All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden
instance.  Killed all unintended exports.  Updated the docs.
FRED:  The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact
intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags.  Please review critically.
GUIDO:  See email.  I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I
think it should be.

Guido van Rossum c4e1775081 Two new names. 2001-01-03 23:51:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 36cdad12dd Fred, THIS NEEDS DOCS! The function docstrings tell the tale.
Christmas present to myself:  the bisect module didn't define what
happened if the new element was already in the list.  It so happens
that it inserted the new element "to the right" of all equal elements.
Since it wasn't defined, among other bad implications it was a mystery
how to use bisect to determine whether an element was already in the
list (I've seen code that *assumed* "to the right" without justification).
Added new methods bisect_left and insort_left that insert "to the left"
instead; made the old names bisect and insort aliases for the new names
bisect_right and insort_right; beefed up docstrings to explain what
these actually do; and added a std test for the bisect module.
2000-12-29 02:06:45 +00:00

Tim Peters 077a11dd00 arraymodule: Fix SF bug 113960.
reverse() didn't work at all due to bad arg check.
    Fixed that.
    Added Brad Chapman to ACKS file, as the proud new owner of two
        implicitly copyrighted lines of Python source code <wink>.
    Repaired buffer_info's total lack of arg-checking.
    Replaced memmove by memcpy in reverse() guts, as memmove is
        often slower and the memory areas are guaranteed disjoint.
    Replaced poke-and-hope unchecked decl of tmp buffer size by
        assert-checked larger tmp buffer.
    Got rid of inconsistent spaces before open paren in docstrings.
    Added reverse() sanity tests to test_array.py.

Barry Warsaw 2ef0753a17 Added James Henstridge 2000-08-30 03:30:28 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg bff879cabb This patch finalizes the move from UTF-8 to a default encoding in
the Python Unicode implementation.

The internal buffer used for implementing the buffer protocol
is renamed to defenc to make this change visible. It now holds the
default encoded version of the Unicode object and is calculated
on demand (NULL otherwise).

Since the default encoding defaults to ASCII, this will mean that
Unicode objects which hold non-ASCII characters will no longer
work on C APIs using the "s" or "t" parser markers. C APIs must now
explicitly provide Unicode support via the "u", "U" or "es"/"es#"
parser markers in order to work with non-ASCII Unicode strings.

(Note: this patch will also have to be applied to the 1.6 branch
 of the CVS tree.)

Barry Warsaw caee2fe35d (py-execute-region): Based on suggestions by Francois Pinard and Skip
Montanaro, handle execution of indented regions by inserting an "if

quoted strings and commented regions.  This patch resolves PR#264.

Guido van Rossum 24bdb0474f Marc-Andre Lemburg:
The attached patch set includes a workaround to get Python with
Unicode compile on BSDI 4.x (courtesy Thomas Wouters; the cause
is a bug in the BSDI wchar.h header file) and Python interfaces
for the MBCS codec donated by Mark Hammond.

Also included are some minor corrections w/r to the docs of
the new "es" and "es#" parser markers (use PyMem_Free() instead
of free(); thanks to Mark Hammond for finding these).

The unicodedata tests are now in a separate file
(test_unicodedata.py) to avoid problems if the module cannot
be found.
2000-03-28 20:29:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d8855fde88 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Attached you find the latest update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version.

It includes the fix I posted yesterday for the core dump problem
in codecs.c (was introduced by my previous patch set -- sorry),
adds more tests for the codecs and two new parser markers
"es" and "es#".

Barry Warsaw 51ac58039f On 17-Mar-2000, Marc-Andre Lemburg said:
Attached you find an update of the Unicode implementation.

    The patch is against the current CVS version. I would appreciate
    if someone with CVS checkin permissions could check the changes
    in.

    The patch contains all bugs and patches sent this week and also
    fixes a leak in the codecs code and a bug in the free list code
    for Unicode objects (which only shows up when compiling Python
    with Py_DEBUG; thanks to MarkH for spotting this one).

Fred Drake f2e9e2978e Oops, better update the date on the .TH line. 1999-08-20 13:30:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 4c9be9dffa Various updates, mostly to add information to the SEE ALSO and
INTERNET RESOURCES sections based on c.l.py comments.
1999-08-20 13:10:20 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 50765abb29 (py-shell): Set the default shell if not set yet. It's sometimes
convenient to call py-shell before the first Python file has been
visited.
1999-08-10 21:49:00 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 5ed843fc52 A few minor Customize changes:
(python): Set defgroup :prefix to "py-" to make variable names cleaner.

(py-jpython-command, py-jpython-command-args): Set :tag for proper
capitalization of JPython in variable name display.
1999-07-28 22:06:06 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 11f215607e (python-mode): Set which interpreter (CPython or JPython) to use the
first time a py buffer is visited during the Emacs session.  This
ensures that py-which-shells is initialized and also guarantees that
the mode lines reflect the correct shell.  First bug found by GvR,
second one has long bugged :) me.

(py-toggle-shells): Programmatically, arg can also take the symbols
`cpython' or `jpython', which makes it easy to call with the value of
py-default-interpreter.

(py-shell): Don't need to initialize py-which-* variables since these
will guarantee to be initialized by python-mode when the first py
buffer is visited.

(py-default-interpreter): Update docstring.
1999-07-28 21:59:43 +00:00
Barry Warsaw ddc469679b (py-beginning-of-def-or-class): Only move to match-beginning if the
regex match actually succeeded!
1999-07-27 21:40:02 +00:00
Barry Warsaw c0d2d51dd2 (py-statement-closes-block-p): py-goto-initial-line could leave us in
the line's whitespace.  back-to-indentation should /follow/ this call.
1999-06-03 22:18:59 +00:00
Barry Warsaw fa2def2a61 (py-electric-backspace): I'm not sure this function should be special
casing when py-honor-comment-indentation is nil, but this could be a
religious issue with some.  Seems to me we should still be dedenting
such comment lines one level.
1999-05-24 21:43:37 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 53db859408 (py-parse-state): When running under Emacs -- which doesn't have
buffer-syntactic-context -- just short circuit the TQS test by jumping
to point-min and doing the test from there.  For long files, this will
be faster than looping with a re-search-backwards.
1999-05-24 19:57:32 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a8f99ba2d2 (py-statement-closes-block-p): Add a py-goto-initial-line which fixes
indentation when the return value is a multiline sexp:

def bug():
    try:
        if 2>1:
            return (11+
                    12)

        else:   #XXX
            return 12
    except:
        return 13

Barry Warsaw f19feb8fb5 (py-mode-map): Add back force of RET (aka C-m) to
py-newline-and-indent.
1999-01-21 17:06:11 +00:00
Barry Warsaw cb5540e72a (py-mode-map): Removed special bindings for C-m and C-j to
py-newline-and-indent.  These ought to get picked up by the mapcar
that follows; any existing binding to newline-and-indent gets shadowed
to py-newline-and-indent.

This will break some people who, e.g. bind C-m or C-j to newline but
still want these bound to py-newline-and-indent in Python mode.  On
the other hand, the forced binding pisses off Emacs diehards.  So
consider this experimental and see if any tall Dutch guys complain :-)
1999-01-19 13:26:56 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f8ddb6afa0 (py-narrow-to-defun): New command (bound to C-x n d) which mimics the
standard narrow-to-defun but works with Python classes and methods.
With no arg, narrows to most enclosing def/method.  With C-u arg,
narrows to most enclosing class.
1999-01-18 21:49:39 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 1d7b0fa9ca (py-electric-delete): Implement the XEmacs 21 blessed way of checking
for delete forwardness.
1999-01-15 02:12:31 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 1a1c6bbf8c (py-outdent-p): Short circuit infloop for illegal construct
(e.g. except: on first line of buffer).

Barry Warsaw 9c1696cff5 (py-goto-beginning-of-tqs): Finds the beginning of the triple quoted
string we find ourselves in, based on the passed in delimiter.

(py-compute-indentation): Fixes for indentation errors when we land
inside a triple quoted string.  For example:

def foo():
   if os.path.isfile(o_pri_mbox_file) and os.path.isfile(o_pub_mbox_file):
       print """\
I found both a private and a public mbox archive file
    private: %s
    public : %s

I won't move either file, but you should choose one and move it to

    %s

You may want to merge them manually, but be careful about exposing private
correspondences to the public.""" % (
    o_pri_mbox_file, o_pub_mbox_file, mbox_file)
*----indentation would be wrong on this line.

Barry Warsaw 34d8317013 (py-execute-region): Hack around the different behavior and switch

(py-imenu-create-index-engine): Fixed problem with two classes in a

when called programmatically.

#Note, there are still some problems with Imenu when arguments to

Barry Warsaw d35c255e44 (py-guess-indent-offset): Only print message about py-indent-offset

Barry Warsaw 6dfbe5dcec (py-shell-map): New variable contains the keymap used in *Python*
shell buffers.

(py-shell): Moved the require of comint to the top level.  Also
use-local-map py-shell-map instead of hacking on the comint-mode-map.
This eliminates breakage of other comint-mode buffers (e.g. shell).
1998-08-20 21:51:27 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a81fb33c6b (py-shell): comint-output-filter-functions is already buffer-local 1998-08-20 20:00:53 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3c96f6f361 (py-process-filter): Deleted this function. In order to fix
interactions with newer Emacsen, I've rewritten the way all the
process filters work in the *Python* buffer.  We use more of the
comint infrastructure, specifically the default process filter.  This
means that scrolling is now handled by the default comint variables
including comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output.  Note that this is
somewhat experimental change!

(py-comint-output-filter-function): Moved to here from the obsolete
py-process-filter function, the logic to pop and exec the next queued
file waiting to be executed.

(py-execute-file): Don't bind comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output to t,
and save the excursion when inserting the "working on" message.  This
lets the standard comint scrolling variables as set by the user,
continue to work.

(python-mode, py-shell, py-describe-mode): Remove description of
py-scroll-process-buffer.  Also in py-shell, make
comint-output-filter-functions buffer-local, and add
py-comint-output-filter-function to this hook (instead of setting the
process filter).

(py-scroll-process-buffer): Deleted this variable.  See comint
variables including comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output.

(py-execute-region): When exec files are being queued, push the next
temp file on the end of the list.

(py-submit-bug-report): Removed reporting of py-scroll-process-buffer.

values for function arguments are still not supported."

This ought to fix that problem.
1998-08-10 21:46:24 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 12c9294ea3 (py-compute-indentation): Changes to the `t' condition which affect
indetnation of normal statements: The regular expression that searches
for indenting comment lines has been changed to not require a
space/tab after the first `#'.  We then explicitly look for
py-block-comment-prefix depending on the value of
py-honor-comment-indentation.

I think this more accurately reflects the documentation for
py-honor-comment-indentation.

further.  Should never be tickled on Emacs 20, XEmacs 20, 21.

py-mark-def-or-class): Integrated Michael Ernst latest patches.
Primarily, it allows functions that search or mark defs/classes based
on programmatic specification, to take an 'either flag value which
allows searching for both classes and defs (stopping at the nearest
construct).

Also clean up some docstrings.

Barry Warsaw 003932a508 (py-comment-indent-function): A replacement for
comment-indent-function's default lambda value (in simple.el), this
version finally kills this nit: auto-filling a comment that starts in
column zero with filladapt turned off would cascade the #'s to the
right.

Now auto-filling seems to work with or without filladapt, and with the
comment starting in any column.

(python-mode): Set comment-indent-function.

Barry Warsaw 751f4931d8 (py-stringlit-re): Another ME patch to recognize SQTQs and DQTQs
(single and double quoted triple quoted strings :-) with embedded
single like-quotes.  Also recognizes raw prefix.
1998-05-19 16:06:21 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 820273d6d1 More ME patches:
(py-execute-import-or-reload): Cool new command that imports or
reloads the current file as a module, so as not to clutter the global
namespace.  Bound to C-c C-m.

(py-execute-def-or-class): New command that sends the current def or
class to the interpreter.  Bound to C-M-x.

(py-execute-string): New command that sends arbitrary string to the
interpreter.  Not bound by default.

(py-describe-mode): Doco updates.
1998-05-19 15:54:45 +00:00
Barry Warsaw ab0e86cbcc (beginning-of-python-def-or-class): Renamed to

compatibility.  ME patch to add optional second argument, count.

(end-of-python-def-or-class): Renamed to py-end-of-def-or-class, and
defaliased for backwards compatibility.  ME patch to add optional
second argument, count.
1998-05-19 15:31:46 +00:00
Barry Warsaw ebc7b7ac45 More ME patches:
(py-shell): Recognize the Python debugger prompt

(py-jump-to-exception): Force into python-mode any buffer that gets

Guido van Rossum cc8e1a4ed7 Add some help for AIX. (Konrad Hinsen) 1998-04-30 13:34:12 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 77d1fce2f6 (py-compute-indentation): Use forward-comment to skip over all
whitespace and comment noise.
1998-04-16 20:04:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 974f295dd4 Some more new stuff. 1998-04-13 21:00:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9238f23c50 Two more, for beta testers who reported real bugs. 1998-04-13 18:14:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c45cf02938 Added changes from 1.5 to 1.5.1.

Guido van Rossum 13aa5cedcb Jeff Epler 1998-04-10 19:18:03 +00:00
Barry Warsaw ea609c18a0 (py-toggle-shells): Added a message in the minibuf. 1998-04-10 16:08:26 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a239880a22 Quick and extremely dirty hacks to toggle between using CPython and
JPython interpreters.  This implementation may suck.

(py-jpython-command, py-jpython-command-args): New variables.

(py-mode-map): py-toggle-shells bound to C-c C-t

(py-toggle-shells): Command to toggle between using CPython (the
default) and JPython.  This is buffer local, and notice the mode-name
change.

(py-shell): Use either CPython or JPython.  Note that py-execute-*
still needs to be modified.
1998-04-09 23:28:20 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e2bb8bb90d Tons of new names... 1998-04-09 21:01:06 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3179fe03ca (imenu-example--python-class-regexp): Fix to recognize Module.Class in
inheritance list.
1998-04-04 21:36:53 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 5204b4a984 #Oops, I lost the CVS/RCS $Revision$ 1998-04-02 19:27:18 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 92166d9a75 (py-compute-indentation): When looking at a continuation line inside
an open paren, do a better job of reindenting the line.  For example:

def foo():
    print 'hello %s, %d' % (
    a, b)

Hit TAB on the line starting with `a'.  Without this patch this line
will never be reindented.
1998-04-01 21:59:41 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 585f733b39 Two patches for Emacs 20.2 compatibility:
(py-compute-indentation): int-to-char isn't defined in Emacs, but we
don't really need it anyway, so just remove this conversion.  XEmacs
is happy either way.

(py-parse-state): The Emacs branch (i.e. w/o buffer-syntactic-context)
wasn't adjusting point correctly.
1998-04-01 21:13:51 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f9b99f4375 (py-postprocess-output-buffer): Return t if an exception was found,
otherwise return nil.

(py-execute-region): When executing the buffer asynchronously in a
subprocess, if an exception occurred, show both the output buffer and
the file containing the exception, leaving point on the source line
containing bottom-most error in the traceback.  If no exception
occurred, jump to the output buffer (no change).
1998-03-26 16:08:59 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 512af04b35 (py-execute-region): Watch out for shell-command-on-region killing a
zero sized output buffer.
1998-03-25 23:27:17 +00:00
Barry Warsaw beef9e73c3 Removed all the mixed indentation face stuff. It's not as helpful as
it at first seems.  I think we've got a good idea of what to do, but
it'll be a bit of work... for later.
1998-03-20 17:06:11 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 8ca702823d (py-tab-face): => py-mixed-indentation-face
(python-font-lock-keywords): Better regexp given by Sjoerd.  This
matches only mixed indentation which is probably more useful than
matching all tabs.
1998-03-20 14:48:30 +00:00
Barry Warsaw e908b6ba57 (py-in-literal, py-fast-in-literal): New functions (mostly) stolen
from CC Mode.

(py-guess-indent-offset): Teach it about colons in `literals'
(e.g. comments and strings).  Don't false hit colons in literals; keep
searching for a real block introducing line.
1998-03-19 22:48:02 +00:00
Barry Warsaw b6c1f1f927 #minor change to eval-while-compile so that it must both find
#custom.el and have an up-to-date version (i.e. one that defines
#defcustom -- which Emacs 19.34's by default does not).
1998-03-19 22:33:06 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 0d2805b771 (py-tab-face, python-font-lock-keywords): Color all tabs at the start
of a line in py-tab-face to aid in seeing mixed tab/space indentation.
This face defaults to the `default' face so it is unobtrusive until
you `M-x customize-face' py-tab-face to something obnoxious like
"Yellow".
1998-03-19 21:52:06 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 639eea670c (py-smart-indentation): Updated docstring for new policy.
(python-mode): Implement new policy: never turn indent-tabs-mode on.
Only turn it off if tab-width != py-indent-offset.
1998-03-16 18:12:13 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 8046befce7 #(py-smart-indentation): Small fixes for clarity in the docstring. 1998-03-13 20:04:52 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 9e9968859e (python-mode): Removed vi vi vi hack for setting the tab width from a
magic comment.  Now Guido only has to worry about the northern
Wisconsin Braces Freedom Fighter Militia.
1998-03-13 18:53:15 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 742a5116d2 (py-smart-indentation): New variable which controls the automagic
setting of py-indent-offset and indent-tabs-mode.

(python-mode): After python-mode-hook is run, do the automagic
calculation if py-smart-indentation is non-nil.

(py-parse-state): Get rid of unused variable to quiet the
byte-compiler.
1998-03-13 17:29:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 38d3fe012e Add LINKFORSHARED and LDLAST as in the main Makefile. 1998-03-11 17:49:55 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 2f32fbba34 (py-execute-region): Simplified calculation of temporary file name.
When running synchronously in a subproc buffer, be sure to
pop-to-buffer so the output is visible.
1998-02-25 16:45:43 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 6c6db0a073 (py-temp-directory): Minor docstring nit. 1998-02-25 16:33:56 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 50b3eb6a9e (py-master-file): Fixed some typos in the docstring. 1998-02-25 15:57:47 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f64b4054af (py-compute-indentation): Several changes made to improve navigation
over and around triple-quoted strings:

    - move the beginning-of-line to above the p-p-s call

    - in the `t' clause of the big cond, where we skip over
      triple-quoted strings, first find out if we're looking at a
      single or TQS, then skip over it in one fell swoop, instead of
      trying to loop over skipage of SQS's.

(py-parse-state): Implement XEmacs only hack to more accurately figure
out whether we're in a string or not.  Can't do this in Emacs because
it lacks the necessary primitive, so we just do it the old (and mostly
accurate, but foolable) way for Emacs.
1998-02-12 16:52:14 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 8ee4a60c70 (py-scroll-process-buffer): Default value changed to nil to act more
like default shell-mode behavior.
1998-02-06 16:01:52 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f1b3e89800 (py-parse-state): When looking for landing inside triple-quoted
string, don't check for indentation at column zero.  This will falsely
hit a line inside a docstring that starts at column zero but ends in a
colon.
1998-02-05 23:35:09 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 8f972b762a (py-python-command-args): New variable, allows user to customize the
arguments past to py-python-command when invoking the Python shell.
1998-02-05 20:45:49 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f06777dd7c (py-outdent-p): When looking at the previous line, watch out for
continuation lines.  This fixes this bug report, reported by Frank
Stajano.

# But if I split the "raise" line and reindent, the else WRONGLY goes up a
# level (?!?)

while condition1:
    if condition2:
        raise error3, \
              moreInfo4
else: # meant to close "if condition2"
    action5()
1998-01-21 05:36:18 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 9ec9fbc355 (py-goto-initial-line): Shut up the byte compiler. 1998-01-21 05:15:57 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 82aecb9d66 (py-mode-map): Add a binding of C-m to py-newline-and-indent. This is
a religious issue: RMS decrees that the Enter (RET) key should just do
a newline and a LFD (C-j) should do a newline and indent (i.e. the
python-mode version of this).  Almost everyone I know disagrees and
finds that RET should do newline and indent.  Almost everyone hacks
their modes to do this, if they know how.  Because it's hard for
newbies to figure out how to do this, and because most DOS keyboards
lack a LFD (leaving users to the more obscure C-j), I think it makes
better sense to add this default binding.
1998-01-21 05:14:24 +00:00
Barry Warsaw c210e69981 (py-compute-indentation): In the most common case, where indentation
is based on the line above, watch out for landing inside a triple
quoted string.  In this case, use iterative search +
parse-partial-sexp backwards to find the beginning of the string.

Note this does affect performance, but very little in the common cases
(I hope).  It could be made *much* faster by adding Emacs and XEmacs
dependent code -- different code naturally.  :-(

Fixes the following reported bug:

if len(sys.argv) >= 6:
    # More lines here
    fptr = open('/etc/hosts', 'w')
    fptr.write("""# /etc/hosts -- autocreated by /etc/ppp/ip-up
#
# Address from pppd
%-15s	%s

# For loopbacking
127.0.0.1	localhost

255.255.255.255	broadcast
""" % (ipaddr, ipname) )

os.chmod('/etc/hosts', 0644)
1998-01-20 22:52:56 +00:00
Barry Warsaw c0ecb53194 (py-master-file): New buffer-local variable which can be set in the
file local variable section of a file.  When set, and the user hits
C-c C-c, this file gets executed instead of the buffer's file.  Idea
given by Roy Dragseth <royd@math.uit.no>, but implemented differently.

(py-execute-buffer): Support py-master-file variable.  If this names a
relative path, default-directory is prepended via expand-file-name.
1998-01-20 21:43:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b25c0e739c delete gMakefile, clarify Makefile.pre.in 1998-01-13 18:53:42 +00:00

Barry Warsaw 3723152c5b Update to the Big Comment at the top of the file. It should better
explain what the users of the various Emacsen have to do to get this
all working.
1997-12-11 17:23:13 +00:00

Barry Warsaw 5ea20d52c7 Added some links to OO-Browser, given by Harri Pasanen.
Updated the to do list.
1997-12-06 00:00:47 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 9981d2226d (py-jump-on-exception): Variable which if t, means that if an
exception occurs in a synchronous Python subprocess, the mode will
automatically jump to the innermost exception.
1997-12-03 05:25:48 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 27ee115fd7 Removed redundant eval-when-compile.
(python-mode): Conditionalize imenu initializations to when we can
safely require imenu.  Under Emacs this should prevent python-mode
from hosing the global value of imenu-create-index-function and
messing things up for all other modes.  Problem identified by
Christian Egli.

(py-describe-mode): py-delete-char => py-electric-backspace.  Given by
Christian Egli.
1997-12-03 05:03:44 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 5c38bf6c62 (python-mode): Patch to make font-lock work automatically for Emacs.
Unnecessary for XEmacs, but oh well...
1997-12-02 22:01:04 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 673d05f0ee Test for an up-to-date Custom library when byte-compiling, and issue
an informative message when one cannot be found, as is the case with a
vanilla Emacs 19.34 (and NTEmacs 19.34).
1997-12-02 21:51:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2888a12eed Add attributions to Jeffrey Ollie and Tim Peters for re.py. 1997-12-02 19:44:54 +00:00

19.34.

Barry Warsaw ffbc17da19 (py-traceback-line-re): Relaxation of regexp to catch SyntaxErrors.
Harri Pasanen.
1997-11-27 20:08:14 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f471056b0a (py-process-filter): py-delete-file-silently is obsolete. Use a
py-safe wrapped delete-file call instead.
1997-11-26 21:00:36 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3b3ff4e96e (py-compute-indentation): Check for multiline stringness and
commentness so that hitting TAB in the middle of a comment will still
indent the line.
1997-11-26 20:58:48 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 8c4a8de75e (py-mode-map): Bind py-mark-def-or-class to C-M-h with a different
spelling so that it doesn't clobber the standard M-BS binding.  This
should be portable between X/Emacsen.
1997-11-26 20:30:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7ea639b133 Added list of what's new in 1.5b1. Changed intro and some section titles. 1997-11-26 16:36:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4d8e7c5464 Four more valuable contributors... 1997-11-26 16:35:55 +00:00
Barry Warsaw c8520351af (python-mode): Make imenu-create-index-function buffer local.
(imenu-example--create-python-index-engine): Use
buffer-substring-no-properties.  Also, don't use
imenu-create-submenu-name.  Apparently it is obsolete.

These Imenu patches were given by Christian Egli
<christian.egli@stest.ch>
1997-11-26 06:14:40 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4da6bd51dd (py-mark-def-or-class): Added an exchange-point-and-mark and a
py-keep-region-active so that the marked def/class gets the
zmacs-region or transient-mark region highlighted.  Also point should
be left at the end of the marked region.

(py-mode-map): Moved py-mark-def-or-class to M-C-h to conform to Emacs
major mode standards.
1997-11-26 06:00:26 +00:00
Barry Warsaw e467bfbfe9 (python-mode): Patch to fix Imenu support under Emacs, given by
Torsten Hilbrich <Torsten.Hilbrich@bln.de>.
1997-11-26 05:40:58 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 47384789b2 (py-kill-emacs-hook): Simplification. 1997-11-26 05:27:45 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a0ee8cd982 Added comment about where to find details on python-mode.el, pointing
to the Web site.

(py-defun-start-re, py-class-start-re): Changed to defconst.

(py-traceback-line-re): Regular expression describing what traceback
lines look like.

(py-point): New defsubst copied from CC Mode.

(py-highlight-line): Function which does the work of making a
traceback line mouseable.  This only works on XEmacs.  Someone familar
with Emacs text properties and such will have to do that port.

(py-mode-map): Added C-c- bound to py-up-exception and C-c= bound to
py-down-exception.  Also, more concise form for mapcar.

(py-mode-output-map): New keymap for the *Python Output* buffer which
only has keybindings for py-mouseto-exception and py-goto-exception.
All other self-insert-command's are bound to beep.  This is actually
bogus because the buffer should really be made read-only and the
functions that insert in that buffer should bind inhibit-read-only.
Also, this map should be bound to highlighted extents in a *Python*
shell buffer, but this stuff hasn't been migrated into there.

(py-postprocess-output-buffer): New function which extentifies the
*Python Output* buffer.  The bogosities are that this only runs when
the synchronous process in the buffer is finished (so it doesn't work
for async procs), and it should also be merged into py-process-filter
so the *Python* shell gets mouseable too.

(py-shell): Added C-c- and C-c= to the comint buffer's keymap.  The
bogosity is that py-goto-exception should also be bound, but it cannot
be bound to C-cC-c (since that interferes with
comint-interrupt-subjob's typical binding).  Also, traceback lines
aren't mouseable in this buffer.

(py-execute-region): Support for traceback jumping.  This really is
quite a kludge, but necessary based on the way all this stuff works.
There's bound to be broken interactions here.

(py-jump-to-exception, py-mouseto-exception, py-goto-exception,
py-find-next-exception, py-down-exception, py-up-exception): All new
commands and functions to implement traceback jumping.

(py-compute-indentation): Hope this change doesn't get lost in all the
noise above!!!!  This fixes broken non-indentation of a line when TAB
is hit inside a string that isn't a multi-line string.

1997-11-05 18:55:50 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 5e21cb0bfb (py-emacs-features): Test for working make-temp-name, which is broken
on NTEmacs 19.34.6.

(py-serial-number): New variable.

(py-execute-region): If make-temp-name is broken, simply append a
serial number to the string "python-" to get a temporary file name.
It's possible concurrent NTEmacs can step on each others toes, but it
makes no sense to further coddle a busted NTEmacs.

Guido van Rossum 2bd358c9fd A nice blurb that Mark Hammond wrote, aimed at Windows users. 1997-11-05 17:15:02 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a9ce70f3bc (py-execute-region): Fixed small bug with queuing file for execution
in a py-shell.  Temp files now get cleaned up.

Barry Warsaw 2518c67984 (mark-python-def-or-class): Renamed to py-mark-def-or-class globally.
(py-mode-map): Moved py-mark-def-or-class from M-C-h to C-c C-m since
the old binding conflicts with the standard global backward-kill-word
binding, and this new binding is more conformant with other language
modes.  Moved py-mark-block to C-c C-k.

Barry Warsaw 6d48c4a00b (py-backspace-function): New variable.
(py-electric-backspace, py-electric-delete): Support the XEmacs 20 Way
for backspace and delete mappings.  In XEmacs 19, Emacs 19, and Emacs
20, both backspace and delete keysyms are bound to
py-electric-backspace.  In XEmacs 20, backspace and delete keysyms are
bound separately, allowing the user to specify forward or backward
deletion of the delete keysym through the variable
delete-key-deletes-forward.  All this is the Right Way To Do It and
this implementation was largely ripped from CC Mode.

Barry Warsaw a97a3f34d6 First round of changes, mostly subprocess stuff.
(py-execute-file): Better interaction with comint.  Set
comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output to t.  Wrapper buffer change in
unwind-protect in case process filter fails.

(py-shell): Start Python with -i flag to fix tty problem on Windows;
presumably -- not yet tested.

(py-clear-queue): New function to clear the pending exec file queue.
Not currently keybound.

(py-execute-region, py-execute-buffer): Added optional async flag (use
via C-u prefix) to execute the region in a new asynchrous buffer, even
if the Python shell is running.

(py-append-to-process-buffer): Removed as obsolete.  Comint provides
this functionality.

Removed fbound test defun of match-string.  All modern X/Emacsen have
this function.
