Sean Reifscheider 45ea86c124 Issue 2188: Documentation hint about disabling proxy detection. 2008-03-20 03:20:48 +00:00
Gregory P. Smith a5cfcad0e3 Prevent ioctl op codes from being sign extended from int to unsigned long 
when used on platforms that actually define ioctl as taking an unsigned long.
(the BSDs and OS X / Darwin)

Adds a unittest for fcntl.ioctl that tests what happens with both positive and
negative numbers.

This was done because of issue1471 but I'm not able to reproduce -that- problem
in the first place on Linux 32bit or 64bit or OS X 10.4 & 10.5 32bit or 64 bit.
 2008-03-19 23:03:25 +00:00

Steven Bethard 6f778cfb5b Document unicode.isnumeric() and unicode.isdecimal() (issue2326) 2008-03-17 19:33:11 +00:00
Gregory P. Smith f48f9d38c0 Force zlib.crc32 and zlib.adler32 to return a signed integer on all platforms 
regardless of the native sizeof(long) used in the integer object.

This somewhat odd behavior of returning a signed is maintained in 2.x for
compatibility reasons of always returning an integer rather than a long object.

Fixes Issue1202 for Python 2.6

Jeffrey Yasskin b23dea6adb Added more documentation on how mixed-mode arithmetic should be implemented. I 
also noticed and fixed a bug in Rational's forward operators (they were
claiming all instances of numbers.Rational instead of just the concrete types).

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.

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.

Jeffrey Yasskin 9871d8fe22 Continue rolling back pep-3141 changes that changed behavior from 2.5. This 
round included:
 * Revert round to its 2.6 behavior (half away from 0).
 * Because round, floor, and ceil always return float again, it's no
   longer necessary to have them delegate to __xxx___, so I've ripped
   that out of their implementations and the Real ABC. This also helps
   in implementing types that work in both 2.6 and 3.0: you return int
   from the __xxx__ methods, and let it get enabled by the version
   upgrade.
 * Make pow(-1, .5) raise a ValueError again.

* Add note to _cast() about length checking and alternative with the star-operator.
