Gustavo Niemeyer 9556fba685 - urllib2.py now knows how to order proxy classes, so the user doesn't

Minor wordsmithing.
 2003-05-29 01:39:32 +00:00
Gregory P. Smith dad58601a0 Remove the note about the BerkeleyDB license. Barry indicates that 
sleepycat has told him that since python is OSS and berkeleydb is
being distributed with python for the bsddb library all is fine.
 2003-05-28 16:20:03 +00:00

Jeremy Hylton cf9c46719c *** empty log message *** 2003-05-28 11:51:11 +00:00
Gregory P. Smith 5772513f0f Include a link to the pybsddb web documentation for the modern object 
oriented DbEnv & Db object BerkeleyDB interface.

Include a note about Sleepycat's BerkeleyDB license with regards to
distributing it within non-opensource applications and include a link
to their website for license details.

Document that 'r' is the default flag for the legacy bsddb btopen(),
hashopen(), and rnopen() functions.  This is apparently different than the
dbm libraries in other languages according to Bug #732951.  Changing
the default from 'r' to 'c' would break backwards compatibility with
legacy bsddb applications; documenting the default should suffice.

Brett Cannon 066f3928b2 Library documentation for the 'test' package. Still needs to be checked by Fred. 2003-05-07 22:02:17 +00:00
Jim Fulton aed0a4a138 Rewrote the basic section of the chapter on defining new types. 
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way:

- Use a class new method rather than a new function.

- Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators

- Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods.

- Make the type usable as a base type.

I split the example into 3 parts:

1. The minimal new type

2. Adding attributes and methods.

3. Finer control over attributes.

It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully
show this.

I also made minor wording changes in two other places.

I still need to update xxobject.c

Raymond Hettinger 6e887bb05f SF bug #729096: getopt online documentation example improvement 
A newbie found it difficult to translate the exampe into a
case that used only short options or long options but not both.
He tried to shorten the tuple search but forgot the trailing comma,
The appropriate pattern is an equality check.

Revised the example to point him in the right direction.

Backport candidate.

Tim Peters 5501b5e3d7 SF bug 728097: tmpnam problems on windows 2.3b, breaks test.test_os. 
tmpnam() appears essentially useless on Windows, and it finally broke
the test for Irmen de Jong.  Read the long new comment in test_tmpnam()
for details.  Since the MS implementation is insane, it might be good
if we supplied a different implementation.

Guido van Rossum 47dfa4a89a Patch by Jp Calderone: 
- The socket module now provides the functions inet_pton and inet_ntop
  for converting between string and packed representation of IP addresses.
  See SF patch #658327.

This still needs a bit of work in the doc area, because it is not
available on all platforms (especially not on Windows).

 2003-04-16 09:46:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0fc8f00252 - pythunrun.c, Py_Finalize(): move the call to _Py_PrintReferences() 
even farther down, to just before the call to
  _PyObject_DebugMallocStats().  This required the following changes:

- pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an
  exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is
  available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception
  (ever).

- object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL,
  don't raise an exception but return 0.  This means that when
  printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on
  and on.  But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see
  first bullet).

- Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to
  PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.
 2003-04-15 15:12:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3a3cca5b82 - list.insert(i, x) now interprets negative i as it would be

  placed on a list index.

Neal Norwitz 06c7b62a83 Fix markup 2003-04-11 18:48:03 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a1ce93f87c From http://mail.python.org/pipermail/i18n-sig/2003-April/001557.html 
- Expose NullTranslations and GNUTranslations to __all__

- Set the default charset to iso-8859-1.  It used to be None, which
would cause problems with .ugettext() if the file had no charset
parameter.  Arguably, the po/mo file would be broken, but I still think
iso-8859-1 is a reasonable default.

- Add a "coerce" default argument to GNUTranslations's constructor.  The
reason for this is that in Zope, we want all msgids and msgstrs to be
Unicode.  For the latter, we could use .ugettext() but there isn't
currently a mechanism for Unicode-ifying msgids.

The plan then is that the charset parameter specifies the encoding for
both the msgids and msgstrs, and both are decoded to Unicode when read.
For example, we might encode po files with utf-8. I think the GNU
gettext tools don't care.

Since this could potentially break code [*] that wants to use the
encoded interface .gettext(), the constructor flag is added, defaulting
to False.  Most code I suspect will want to set this to True and use
.ugettext().

- A few other minor changes from the Zope project, including asserting
that a zero-length msgid must have a Project-ID-Version header for it to
be counted as the metadata record.

Michael W. Hudson 9c20615d4f Back in June in revision 1.98 Steve (accidentally, presumably) wiped 
out a month's worth of checkins to libstdtypes.tex (including my
extended slice docs).

I think this checkin merges them all back in, but if you make one of
these checkins:

    revision 1.97
    date: 2002/06/14 00:27:13;  author: nnorwitz
    Use \code{True} (or False) instead of true/false.
    Not sure if code is correct, but that is what's in this file.
    I've seen \constant{True} in other places.
    ----------------------------
    revision 1.95
    date: 2002/05/22 20:39:43;  author: bwarsaw
    Jack's documentation for the U mode character on the file()
    constructor, vetted by Barry.
    ----------------------------
    revision 1.94
    date: 2002/05/21 18:19:15;  author: rhettinger
    Patch 543387.  Document deprecation of complex %, //,and divmod().
    ----------------------------
    revision 1.93
    date: 2002/05/15 15:45:25;  author: rhettinger
    Added missing index entries for mapping methods.  Closes patch
    #548693.

some checking may be in order.
 2003-03-05 14:42:09 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 2ab1d08f90 I thought it was common practice to check things compiled before 
checking them in?  Oh well, this fixes various obvious mistakes and
changes a subsubsubsection (which doesn't exist) into a subsubsection
(which does).  I'm not sure this matches the intent, but it seems to
read OK on a quick skim.

Just van Rossum 96b1c903f5 Patch #683592 revisited, after discussions with MvL: 
- Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir()
  will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode
  argument.
- And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII.
- Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the
  default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means
  os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding
  can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing
  the error and fall back to a byte string.)
- Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex.
- Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation.

This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not
using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are
supposed to.

Gustavo Niemeyer a33d0aa693 Unparenting BZ2File, as discussed in SF patch #661796. 
* Modules/bz2module.c
  (BZ2FileObject): Now the structure includes a pointer to a file object,
   instead of "inheriting" one. Also, some members were copied from the
   PyFileObject structure to avoid dealing with the internals of that
   structure from outside fileobject.c.

  (Util_GetLine,Util_DropReadAhead,Util_ReadAhead,Util_ReadAheadGetLineSkip,
   BZ2File_write,BZ2File_writelines,BZ2File_init,BZ2File_dealloc,
   BZ2Comp_dealloc,BZ2Decomp_dealloc):
   	These functions were adapted to the change above.

  (BZ2File_seek,BZ2File_close): Use PyObject_CallMethod instead of
   getting the function attribute locally.

  (BZ2File_notsup): Removed, since it's not necessary anymore to overload
   truncate(), and readinto() with dummy functions.

  (BZ2File_methods): Added xreadlines() as an alias to BZ2File_getiter,
   and removed truncate() and readinto().

  (BZ2File_get_newlines,BZ2File_get_closed,BZ2File_get_mode,BZ2File_get_name,
   BZ2File_getset):
   	Implemented getters for "newlines", "mode", and "name".

  (BZ2File_members): Implemented "softspace" member.

  (BZ2File_init): Reworked to create a file instance instead of initializing
   itself as a file subclass. Also, pass "name" object untouched to the
   file constructor, and use PyObject_CallFunction instead of building the
   argument tuple locally.

  (BZ2File_Type): Set tp_new to PyType_GenericNew, tp_members to
   BZ2File_members, and tp_getset to BZ2File_getset.

  (initbz2): Do not set BZ2File_Type.tp_base nor BZ2File_Type.tp_new.


* Doc/lib/libbz2.tex
  Do not mention that BZ2File inherits from the file type.

Tim Peters 07534a607b Comparison for timedelta, time, date and datetime objects: __eq__ and 
__ne__ no longer complain if they don't know how to compare to the other
thing.  If no meaningful way to compare is known, saying "not equal" is
sensible.  This allows things like

    if adatetime in some_sequence:
and
    somedict[adatetime] = whatever

to work as expected even if some_sequence contains non-datetime objects,
or somedict non-datetime keys, because they only call __eq__.

It still complains (raises TypeError) for mixed-type comparisons in
contexts that require a total ordering, such as list.sort(), use as a
key in a BTree-based data structure, and cmp().

Anthony Baxter 983b008824 Updated version of [ 558544 ] cmd.py: add instance-specific stdin/out 
This patch adds stdin, stdout as optional arguments to the cmd.Cmd
constructor (defaulting to sys.stdin, sys.stdout), and changes the Cmd
methods throughout to use self.stdout.write() and self.stdin.foo for
output and input. This allows much greater flexibility for using cmd -
for instance, hooking it into a telnet server.

Also update the PEP and include an explanation of
this in the documentation for codecs.register_error.

from the callback is negative *add* it to the size
instead of substracting it.

Tim Peters 8d81a012ef date and datetime comparison: when we don't know how to 
compare against "the other" argument, we raise TypeError,
in order to prevent comparison from falling back to the
default (and worse than useless, in this case) comparison
by object address.

That's fine so far as it goes, but leaves no way for
another date/datetime object to make itself comparable
to our objects.  For example, it leaves Marc-Andre no way
to teach mxDateTime dates how to compare against Python
dates.

Discussion on Python-Dev raised a number of impractical
ideas, and the simple one implemented here:  when we don't
know how to compare against "the other" argument, we raise
TypeError *unless* the other object has a timetuple attr.
In that case, we return NotImplemented instead, and Python
will give the other object a shot at handling the
comparison then.

Note that comparisons of time and timedelta objects still
suffer the original problem, though.

Tim Peters 2a44a8d332 SF bug 660872: datetimetz constructors behave counterintuitively (2.3a1). 
This gives much the same treatment to datetime.fromtimestamp(stamp, tz) as
the last batch of checkins gave to datetime.now(tz):  do "the obvious"
thing with the tz argument instead of a senseless thing.

Tim Peters f196a0a4dd "Premature" doc changes, for new astimezone() rules, and the new 
tzinfo.fromutc() method.  The C code doesn't implement any of this
yet (well, not the C code on the machine I'm using now), nor does
the test suite reflect it.  The Python datetime.py implementation and
test suite in the sandbox do match these doc changes.  The C
implementation probably won't catch up before Thursday (Wednesday is
a scheduled "black hole" day this week <0.4 wink>).

Tim Peters 327098a613 New rule for tzinfo subclasses handling both standard and daylight time: 
When daylight time ends, an hour repeats on the local clock (for example,
in US Eastern, the clock jumps from 1:59 back to 1:00 again).  Times in
the repeated hour are ambiguous.  A tzinfo subclass that wants to play
with astimezone() needs to treat times in the repeated hour as being
standard time.  astimezone() previously required that such times be
treated as daylight time.  There seems no killer argument either way,
but Guido wants the standard-time version, and it does seem easier the
new way to code both American (local-time based) and European (UTC-based)
switch rules, and the astimezone() implementation is simpler.
