problem). inherit_slots() is split in two parts: inherit_special()
which inherits the flags and a few very special members from the
dominant base; inherit_slots() which inherits only regular slots,
and is now called for each base in the MRO in turn. These are now
both void functions since they don't have error returns.
- Added object.__setitem__() back -- for the same reason as
object.__new__(): a subclass of object should be able to call
object.__new__().
- add_wrappers() was moved around to be closer to where it is used (it
was defined together with add_methods() etc., but has nothing to do
with these).
libraries. This is done by adding a .get_source_files() method,
contributed by Rene Liebscher and slightly modified.
Remove an unused local variable spotted by PyChecker
though 'licence' is still supported for backward-compatibility
(Should I add a warning to get_licence(), or not bother?)
Also fixes an UnboundLocalError noticed by PyChecker
This closes SF patch #428320.
Added documentation for the new floordiv() and truediv() functions.
This is part of SF bug #449093.
Re-organized the listing of functions to get better logical grouping.
bug #449000, "re.sub(r'\n', ...) broke". This was Fredrik's
suggestion -- he's on vacation and said he wouldn't be able to work on
this until next week.
Removed all instances of Py_UCS2 from the codebase, and so also (I hope)
the last remaining reliance on the platform having an integral type
with exactly 16 bits.
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16() and PyUnicode_EncodeUTF16() now read and write
one byte at a time.
bit. For one, this class:
class C(object):
def __new__(myclass, ...): ...
would have no way to call the __new__ method of its base class, and
the workaround (to create an intermediate base class whose __new__ you
can call) is ugly.
So, I've come up with a better solution that restores object.__new__,
but still solves the original problem, which is that built-in and
extension types shouldn't inherit object.__new__. The solution is
simple: only "heap types" inherit tp_new. Simpler, less code,
perfect!
Previously, f.read() and f.readlines() checked for
errors on their file object and possibly raised an
IOError, but f.readline() didn't. This patch makes
f.readline() behave like the others.
Note that I've added a call to clearerr() since the other calls to
ferror() include that too.
I have no way to test this code. :-)
