Raymond Hettinger 40f6217092 SF patch 658251: Install a C implementation of the Mersenne Twister as the 
core generator for random.py.
 2002-12-29 23:03:38 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger c7b076928c Incorporate Skip's suggestion to use SciPy's validation test near 
equality.  Note, there is another flavor that compares to a given
number of significant digits rather than decimal places.  If there
is a demand, that could be added at a later date.
 2002-12-29 17:59:24 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger f8bcfb13f1 SF Bug 645777: list.extend() works with any iterable and is no longer 
experimental.
 2002-12-29 05:49:09 +00:00

Martin v. Löwis 438b534ad0 Patch #657889: Implement posix.getloadavg. 2002-12-27 10:16:42 +00:00
Tim Peters 60c76e4016 Make comparison and subtraction of aware objects ignore tzinfo if the 
operands have identical tzinfo members (meaning object identity -- "is").
I misunderstood the intent here, reading wrong conclusion into
conflicting clues.
 2002-12-27 00:41:11 +00:00
Just van Rossum 8982595870 Backing out patch #642578 in anticipation of final acceptance of PEP 302. 2002-12-25 23:13:34 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger e11b510a5b SF 658405: calendar.py to rely on the datetime module instead of the time 
module.

The code is shorter, more readable, faster, and dramatically increases the
range of acceptable dates.

Also, used the floor division operator in leapdays().
 2002-12-25 16:37:19 +00:00
Tim Peters 80475bb4d2 Implemented datetime.astimezone() and datetimetz.astimezone(). 2002-12-25 07:40:55 +00:00
Tim Peters 52d134874f Removed blurb admonishing users to raise an exception if the datetime 
argument to a tzinfo method doesn't have a matching tzinfo member.
 2002-12-24 16:34:13 +00:00
Tim Peters 2483b61e03 Added note about technical pickle limitation on tzinfo instances. 2002-12-24 16:30:58 +00:00
Tim Peters 1cff9fc97c tzinfo.{utcoffset,dst} can return timedelta (or integer or None). 
{timetz,datetimetz}.{uctcoffset,dst} do return timedelta (or None).

Neal Norwitz c7d8c68c65 Fix SF #658023, "What's New in 2.3", s12, verbatim error 
Remove space between \end {verbatim}
 2002-12-24 14:51:43 +00:00
Tim Peters 12bf339aea Implemented .replace() methods for date, datetime, datetimetz, time and 
timetz.
 2002-12-24 05:41:27 +00:00
Tim Peters 29fb9c7e07 Brought the strftime explanation into synch with the plain-text sandbox 
docs, and moved its section to the end (before the "C API" section,
which latter doesn't really belong in the Library manual).
 2002-12-23 22:21:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 446f32367b Add in the datetime docs now that they pass LaTeX. Still ugly, but that can 
be fixed.
 2002-12-23 19:03:00 +00:00
Fred Drake bbdb250862 Lots of markup changes. This is still pretty sad, but passes LaTeX 
and is mostly readable.
 2002-12-23 18:58:06 +00:00
Fred Drake ce5200842e Move the examples of concrete tzinfo classes to a separate file, so the 
verbatim environment does not bollux page breaking.
 2002-12-23 18:52:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 4a80a3ec21 Added docs for (draft) pkgutil module. 2002-12-23 16:53:59 +00:00

Tim Peters 8ed8320827 Fixed longstanding bug in the description of strftime's %W code. 2002-12-20 17:15:39 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling ca2623a2f9 Check in current, unfinished, draft of datetime docs 
(Fred, don't bother to add to lib.tex or to proofread this yet.)

Michael W. Hudson cfd3884882 This is Richie Hindle's patch 
[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers

with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.
 2002-12-17 16:15:34 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 212b43f90c Add markup for base parameter 2002-12-17 01:24:11 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 046b8a7244 Fix SF # 641111, Undocumented side effect of eval 
Try to clear up confusion about the current globals being copied
into a globals dict passed to eval().  This wording (more or less)
was suggested in bug report.  It should probably be made clearer.

Backport candidate.
 2002-12-17 01:08:06 +00:00
Neal Norwitz e9ce25e512 Fix SF #642742, property() builtin not documented 
Added doc for functions new to 2.2:  classmethod property staticmethod super
Taken from docstrings.  Could use review.
Hope there wasn't a reason why these shouldn't have been added.

Backport candidate.
 2002-12-17 01:02:57 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 0f30dbd991 Fix SF # 626275, missing DECREF's in embedding example 
Tested w/valgrind, all paths except the return on PyInt_AsLong() failure
I think I got all of these right.

Backport candidate.

Gustavo Niemeyer 786ddb29c9 Fixed bug 
[#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling

* Objects/fileobject.c
  (file_read): Clear errors before leaving the loop in all situations,
  and also check if some data was read before exiting the loop with an
  EWOULDBLOCK exception.

* Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex
* Objects/fileobject.c
  Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than
  what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode.

* Misc/NEWS
  Document the fix.
 2002-12-16 18:12:53 +00:00
Gustavo Niemeyer 78429a6aa6 Fixing bug 
[#448679] Left to right

  (com_dictmaker): Reordered evaluation of dictionaries to follow strict
  LTR evaluation.

* Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py
  (CodeGenerator.visitDict): Reordered evaluation of dictionaries to
  follow strict LTR evaluation.

* Doc/ref/ref5.tex
  Documented the general LTR evaluation order idea.

* Misc/NEWS
  Documented change in evaluation order of dictionaries.

Replaced British spelling of 'behaviour' with 'behavior'.
Noted the new optional argument in math.log(x [,base]).

Andrew M. Kuchling 6c50df2d90 Add Tkinter threading change 
Fix markup errors
Rewrite a sentence
 2002-12-13 12:53:16 +00:00
Thomas Heller 63b4dd33c9 Description of description was really confusing, and added some markup. 2002-12-12 19:35:00 +00:00
Thomas Heller 2c3bfc2a1a Raw documentation for the bdist_wininst postinstallation script. 
People are already using it, so these docs are certainly better than
no docs at all. Markup is mostly missing and the layout is probably
ugly, but this can be fixed later.

Question: there are references to MS docs for the CSIDL_... constants
and the IShellLink interface. Are these pointers sufficient, or should
the MS docs reworded and repeated here?
 2002-12-12 18:54:19 +00:00
Walter Dörwald d9a6ad3beb Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is 
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.

This closes SF patch #649608.
 2002-12-12 16:41:44 +00:00
Just van Rossum b083cb3901 Patch #651621, approved by MvL. 
This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with
an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance:

z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w")
z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data)
z.close()

I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient
for simple (but common) things.

If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo
instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time,
which makes sense to me for anonymous data.

Tim Peters 85f7f83d71 Added a word to the heapq description in response to user confusion. 2002-12-10 21:04:25 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 3bf99e3e87 Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situations 
this can result in significantly smaller files.  All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility.  Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.
 2002-12-08 18:36:24 +00:00

Expanded .update() to look for the most helpful methods first and gradually
   work down to a mininum expected interface.
Expanded documentation to be more clear on how to use the class.

Thomas Heller e61f365b0b Document the available command line flags for bdist_wininst, which are 
avaliable in the Python 2.2 branch.

I've left out some flags which are more thought for debugging, if
someone needs them, he can always look at the output of --help.

I'm sure Fred will make some adjustments, so I'll only mark this as a
2.2 bugfix candidate.

There are more options available in the current CVS bdist_wininst,
I will document them after this is in.
 2002-11-15 20:13:26 +00:00

Fred Drake 49b33fa4cb Squash an enormous number of warnings reported when adding "use
