Raymond Hettinger 49f9bd15ff SF feature request #686323: Minor array module enhancements
array.extend() now accepts iterable arguments implements as a series
of appends.  Besides being a user convenience and matching the behavior
for lists, this the saves memory and cycles that would be used to
create a temporary array object.
2004-03-14 05:43:59 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger c1e4f9dd92 Use a new macro, PySequence_Fast_ITEMS to factor out code common to
three recent optimizations.  Aside from reducing code volume, it
increases readability.

Hye-Shik Chang 9168c70438 SF Patch #912462: Relocate \end tag to the right place.
(Submitted by George Yoshida)
2004-03-09 05:53:15 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger b7d05db0be Optimize tuple_slice() and make further improvements to list_slice()
and list.extend().  Factoring the inner loops to remove the constant
structure references and fixed offsets gives speedups ranging from
20% to 30%.
2004-03-08 07:25:05 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger dd80f76265 SF patch #910929: Optimize list comprehensions
Add a new opcode, LIST_APPEND, and apply it to the code generation for
list comprehensions.  Reduces the per-loop overhead by about a third.

Raymond Hettinger 31017aed36 SF #904720: dict.update should take a 2-tuple sequence like dict.__init_
(Championed by Bob Ippolito.)

The update() method for mappings now accepts all the same argument forms
as the dict() constructor.  This includes item lists and/or keyword
arguments.
2004-03-04 08:25:44 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 35c62e58c5 Added license notices that are required to be included in the
documentation as well as the source code.
2004-03-03 08:27:25 +00:00
Brett Cannon d1080a3418 Have strftime() check its time tuple argument to make sure the tuple's values
are within proper boundaries as specified in the docs.

This can break possible code (datetime module needed changing, for instance)
that uses 0 for values that need to be greater 1 or greater (month, day, and
day of year).

Fixes bug #897625.
2004-03-02 04:38:10 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 0a4977c2f3 Replace left(), right(), and __reversed__() with the more general purpose
__getitem__() and __setitem__().

Simplifies the API, reduces the code size, adds flexibility, and makes
deques work with bisect.bisect(), random.shuffle(), and random.sample().
