reStructuredText format. Remove words describing the return value of
testmod() and testfile() in the intro sections, since it's never
useful in such simple cases.
its documentation.
* Documented that the compiled re methods are supposed to be more full
featured than their simpilified function counterparts.
* Documented the existing start and stop position arguments for the
findall() and finditer() methods of compiled regular expression objects.
* Added an optional flags argument to the re.findall() and re.finditer()
functions. This aligns their API with that for re.search() and
re.match().
today. pyconfig.h can override it if not, and can also override
Py_IS_INFINITY now. Py_IS_NAN and Py_IS_INFINITY are overridden now
for Microsoft compilers, using efficient MS-specific spellings.
When an integer is compared to a float now, the int isn't coerced to float.
This avoids spurious overflow exceptions and insane results. This should
compute correct results, without raising spurious exceptions, in all cases
now -- although I expect that what happens when an int/long is compared to
a NaN is still a platform accident.
Note that we had potential problems here even with "short" ints, on boxes
where sizeof(long)==8. There's #ifdef'ed code here to handle that, but
I can't test it as intended. I tested it by changing the #ifdef to
trigger on my 32-bit box instead.
I suppose this is a bugfix candidate, but I won't backport it. It's
long-winded (for speed) and messy (because the problem is messy). Note
that this also depends on a previous 2.4 patch that introduced
_Py_SwappedOp[] as an extern.
- Reorganized the documentation
- Shifted focus a little more towards "literate testing"
- Documented new functions and classes:
- testfile()
- Example, DocTest
- DocTestParser, DocTestFinder, DocTestRunner, OutputChecker
- DocFileSuite
- DebugRunner, DocTestFailure, UnexpectedException
- register_optionflag()
displaying a set of classes from one module it doesn't matter, but if you
are displaying a large class tree from multiple modules it improves the
display to sort by module.name.
all examples in a given text file. (analagous to "testmod")
- Minor docstring fixes.
- Added module_relative parameter to DocTestFile/DocTestSuite, which
controls whether paths are module-relative & os-independent, or
os-specific.
Make PySequence_Check() and PyMapping_Check() handle NULL inputs. This
goes beyond what most of the other checks do, but it is nice defensive
programming and solves the OP's problem.
