Georg Brandl 2134e754f2 Patch #1686487: you can now pass any mapping after '**' in function calls. 2007-05-21 20:34:16 +00:00
Samuele Pedroni 8036c83630 adding passing test. testing for g(*Nothing()) where Nothing is a user-defined iterator. 2004-02-21 21:03:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 77f6a65eb0 Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described in
PEP 285.  Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation.  I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison.  I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.

Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.

Guido van Rossum ea46fa8494 Undo previous checkin -- Barry fixed it better. 2001-08-24 19:46:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d320ad08bf Update test output to match new (more informative) error message about
calling unbound method with wrong first argument.

Guido van Rossum 297abadc6b The change of type(None).__name__ from 'None' to 'NoneType' broke this
test in a trivial way.  Fixed.

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 08dabf0a73 Patch #103344: Sort dicts from extcall for easier comparison with Jython. 2001-01-21 18:52:02 +00:00
Ka-Ping Yee 2057970601 This patch makes sure that the function name always appears in the error
message, and tries to make the messages more consistent and helpful when
the wrong number of arguments or duplicate keyword arguments are supplied.
Comes with more tests for test_extcall.py and and an update to an error
message in test/output/test_pyexpat.

Jeremy Hylton 074c3e62d1 Two fixes for extended call syntax:
If a non-tuple sequence is passed as the *arg, convert it to a tuple
before checking its length.
If named keyword arguments are used in combination with **kwargs, make
a copy of kwargs before inserting the new keys.
