Neil Schemenauer d2c1abe5ed Update for install-sh (SF #103717). 2001-02-10 20:10:52 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 9f8cdf58a2 Patches for AIX. Checked by Benjamin Collar. 2001-02-09 09:59:06 +00:00
Tim Peters 909bc1cf63 SF bug #131225: sys.winver is still '2.0' in python 2.1a2.
SF patch #103683: Alternative dll version resources.
Changes similar to the patch.  MarkH should review.
File version and Product version text strings now 2.1a2.
64-bit file and product version numbers are now
    PY_MAJOR_VERSION, PY_MINOR_VERSION, messy, PYTHON_API_VERSION
where
    messy = PY_MICRO_VERSION*1000 + PY_RELEASE_LEVEL*10 + PY_RELEASE_SERIAL
Updated company name to "Digital Creations 2".
Copyright now lists Guido; "C in a circle" symbol used instead of (C).
Comments added so this is less likely to get flubbed again, and
#if/#error guys added to trigger if the version number manipulations
above overflow.

Jeremy Hylton d6b1cf9a55 Fix spelling errors.
Add note about _symtable.
Add note that 'from ... import *' restriction may go away -- and move
the whole entry closer to the top, because it might bite people.

wrong section and the section restriction was removed.

Fred Drake fb9d712721 Added comments about the weak reference support. 2001-02-01 20:00:40 +00:00
Tim Peters 0de88fc4b1 Change random.seed() so that it can get at the full range of possible
internal states.  Put the old .seed() (which could only get at about
the square root of the # of possibilities) under the new name .whseed(),
for bit-level compatibility with older versions.  This occurred to me
while reviewing effbot's book (he found himself stumbling over .seed()
more than once there ...).
2001-02-01 04:59:18 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 30dbd1429a Document the two changes to the mailbox.py module:
- All constructors grow an optional argument `factory' which is a
  callable used when new message instances are created by the next()
  methods.  Defaults to the rfc822.Message class.

- A new subclass of UnixMailbox is added, called PortableUnixMailbox.
  It's identical to UnixMailbox, but uses a more portable test for
  From_ delimiter lines.  With PortableUnixMailbox, any line that
  starts with "From " is considered a delimiter (this should really
  check for two newlines before the F, but it doesn't.

Tim Peters 0149e84af2 SF bug #130306: statcache.py full of thread problems.
Fixed the thread races.  Function forget_dir was also utterly Unix-specific.

Tim Peters 547397c45b SF bug http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=130242&group_id=5470
SF patch http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103453&group_id=5470
PyMember_Set of T_CHAR always raises exception.
Unfortunately, this is a use of a C API function that Python itself never makes, so
there's no .py test I can check in to verify this stays fixed.  But the fault in the
code is obvious, and Dave Cole's patch just as obviously fixes it.
2001-01-27 06:20:08 +00:00
Tim Peters 40ead76ed6 Added news about repr(string). 2001-01-27 05:35:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 85e2e4742d SF bug 130030: Claim of bad betavariate algorithm. 2001-01-26 06:49:56 +00:00
Tim Peters d52269bfd0 Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initialization
got broken).  Also added new method .jumpahead(N).  This finally gives us
a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently
in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new
machinery!).
2001-01-25 06:23:18 +00:00
Tim Peters d7b5e88e8e Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all the
functionality of, whrandom.py.  Also closes all the "XXX" todos in
random.py.  New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and
setstate().  All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden
instance.  Killed all unintended exports.  Updated the docs.
FRED:  The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact
intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags.  Please review critically.
GUIDO:  See email.  I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I
think it should be.

Thomas Wouters fe385251f4 Make the 'time' argument to the timemodule functions strftime, asctime,
ctime, gmtime and localtime optional, defaulting to 'the current time' in
all cases. Adjust docs, add news item. Also convert all argument-handling to
METH_VARARGS. Closes SF patch #103265.

Guido van Rossum a88479f0e3 - Add note about complex numbers.
- Changed description of rich comparisons to emphasize that < and >
  (etc.) are each other's reflection.  Also use this word in the note
  about the demise of __rcmp__.

Tim Peters 691e0e95de Variant of SF patch 103252: Startup optimize: read *.pyc as string, not with getc(). 2001-01-18 04:39:16 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg ad7c98e264 This patch adds a new builtin unistr() which behaves like str()
except that it always returns Unicode objects.

A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.

This closes patch #101664.

Guido van Rossum f61f166bca Added a whole slew of news items. Not striving for completeness --
I've skipped all bugfixes, Unicode, distutils changes.  But this
should be a start!

Guido van Rossum c4e1775081 Two new names. 2001-01-03 23:51:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 36cdad12dd Fred, THIS NEEDS DOCS! The function docstrings tell the tale.
Christmas present to myself:  the bisect module didn't define what
happened if the new element was already in the list.  It so happens
that it inserted the new element "to the right" of all equal elements.
Since it wasn't defined, among other bad implications it was a mystery
how to use bisect to determine whether an element was already in the
list (I've seen code that *assumed* "to the right" without justification).
Added new methods bisect_left and insort_left that insert "to the left"
instead; made the old names bisect and insort aliases for the new names
bisect_right and insort_right; beefed up docstrings to explain what
these actually do; and added a std test for the bisect module.
2000-12-29 02:06:45 +00:00
Barry Warsaw e0c182fb5f (python-font-lock-keywords): Add highlighting of `as' as a keyword,
but only in "import foo as bar" statements (including optional
preceding `from' clause).

2000-12-06 23:46:29 +00:00
Tim Peters 9940b800a4 Made the description of %[udxXo] formats of negative longs in 2.1 more accurate.
I suggested to Guido that %u be deprecated (it seems useless in Python to me).
2000-12-01 07:59:35 +00:00
Tim Peters a3a3a030af Fox for SF bug #123859: %[duxXo] long formats inconsistent. 2000-11-30 05:22:44 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3c34bb33ff (py-goto-beginning-of-tqs): When searching backwards for the matching
delimiter, watch out for backslash escaped delimiters.  Also use =
instead of eq for character comparison (because a character is = to
it's integer value, but not eq to it).

2000-09-26 16:21:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f62ed9c775 Fixed some typos, added some punctuation (e.g. consistently terminate

2000-09-21 21:21:59 +00:00
Tim Peters 077a11dd00 arraymodule: Fix SF bug 113960.
reverse() didn't work at all due to bad arg check.
    Fixed that.
    Added Brad Chapman to ACKS file, as the proud new owner of two
        implicitly copyrighted lines of Python source code <wink>.
    Repaired buffer_info's total lack of arg-checking.
    Replaced memmove by memcpy in reverse() guts, as memmove is
        often slower and the memory areas are guaranteed disjoint.
    Replaced poke-and-hope unchecked decl of tmp buffer size by
        assert-checked larger tmp buffer.
    Got rid of inconsistent spaces before open paren in docstrings.
    Added reverse() sanity tests to test_array.py.

"Changed, New, Obsolete Tools" to say "None" since nobody had put an entry
there.
2000-09-05 20:15:25 +00:00

Marc-André Lemburg bff879cabb This patch finalizes the move from UTF-8 to a default encoding in
the Python Unicode implementation.

The internal buffer used for implementing the buffer protocol
is renamed to defenc to make this change visible. It now holds the
default encoded version of the Unicode object and is calculated
on demand (NULL otherwise).

Since the default encoding defaults to ASCII, this will mean that
Unicode objects which hold non-ASCII characters will no longer
work on C APIs using the "s" or "t" parser markers. C APIs must now
explicitly provide Unicode support via the "u", "U" or "es"/"es#"
parser markers in order to work with non-ASCII Unicode strings.

(Note: this patch will also have to be applied to the 1.6 branch
 of the CVS tree.)

Jeremy Hylton 7690151c7e slightly modified version of Greg Ewing's extended call syntax patch
executive summary:
Instead of typing 'apply(f, args, kwargs)' you can type 'f(*arg, **kwargs)'.
Some file-by-file details follow.

Grammar/Grammar:
    simplify varargslist, replacing '*' '*' with '**'
    add * & ** options to arglist

Include/opcode.h & Lib/dis.py:
    define three new opcodes
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR
        CALL_FUNCTION_KW
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW

Python/ceval.c:
    extend TypeError "keyword parameter redefined" message to include
        the name of the offending keyword
    reindent CALL_FUNCTION using four spaces
    add handling of sequences and dictionaries using extend calls
    fix function import_from to use PyErr_Format

Guido van Rossum 24bdb0474f Marc-Andre Lemburg:
The attached patch set includes a workaround to get Python with
Unicode compile on BSDI 4.x (courtesy Thomas Wouters; the cause
is a bug in the BSDI wchar.h header file) and Python interfaces
for the MBCS codec donated by Mark Hammond.

Also included are some minor corrections w/r to the docs of
the new "es" and "es#" parser markers (use PyMem_Free() instead
of free(); thanks to Mark Hammond for finding these).

The unicodedata tests are now in a separate file
(test_unicodedata.py) to avoid problems if the module cannot
be found.
2000-03-28 20:29:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d8855fde88 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Attached you find the latest update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version.

It includes the fix I posted yesterday for the core dump problem
in codecs.c (was introduced by my previous patch set -- sorry),
adds more tests for the codecs and two new parser markers
"es" and "es#".

Barry Warsaw 51ac58039f On 17-Mar-2000, Marc-Andre Lemburg said:
Attached you find an update of the Unicode implementation.

    The patch is against the current CVS version. I would appreciate
    if someone with CVS checkin permissions could check the changes
    in.

    The patch contains all bugs and patches sent this week and also
    fixes a leak in the codecs code and a bug in the free list code
    for Unicode objects (which only shows up when compiling Python
    with Py_DEBUG; thanks to MarkH for spotting this one).

Fred Drake 4c9be9dffa Various updates, mostly to add information to the SEE ALSO and
INTERNET RESOURCES sections based on c.l.py comments.
1999-08-20 13:10:20 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 50765abb29 (py-shell): Set the default shell if not set yet. It's sometimes
convenient to call py-shell before the first Python file has been
visited.
1999-08-10 21:49:00 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 5ed843fc52 A few minor Customize changes:
(python): Set defgroup :prefix to "py-" to make variable names cleaner.

(py-jpython-command, py-jpython-command-args): Set :tag for proper
capitalization of JPython in variable name display.
1999-07-28 22:06:06 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 11f215607e (python-mode): Set which interpreter (CPython or JPython) to use the
first time a py buffer is visited during the Emacs session.  This
ensures that py-which-shells is initialized and also guarantees that
the mode lines reflect the correct shell.  First bug found by GvR,
second one has long bugged :) me.

(py-toggle-shells): Programmatically, arg can also take the symbols
`cpython' or `jpython', which makes it easy to call with the value of
py-default-interpreter.

(py-shell): Don't need to initialize py-which-* variables since these
will guarantee to be initialized by python-mode when the first py
buffer is visited.

(py-default-interpreter): Update docstring.
1999-07-28 21:59:43 +00:00
Barry Warsaw ddc469679b (py-beginning-of-def-or-class): Only move to match-beginning if the
regex match actually succeeded!
1999-07-27 21:40:02 +00:00
Barry Warsaw c0d2d51dd2 (py-statement-closes-block-p): py-goto-initial-line could leave us in
the line's whitespace.  back-to-indentation should /follow/ this call.
1999-06-03 22:18:59 +00:00
Barry Warsaw fa2def2a61 (py-electric-backspace): I'm not sure this function should be special
casing when py-honor-comment-indentation is nil, but this could be a
religious issue with some.  Seems to me we should still be dedenting
such comment lines one level.
1999-05-24 21:43:37 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 53db859408 (py-parse-state): When running under Emacs -- which doesn't have
buffer-syntactic-context -- just short circuit the TQS test by jumping
to point-min and doing the test from there.  For long files, this will
be faster than looping with a re-search-backwards.
1999-05-24 19:57:32 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a8f99ba2d2 (py-statement-closes-block-p): Add a py-goto-initial-line which fixes
indentation when the return value is a multiline sexp:

def bug():
    try:
        if 2>1:
            return (11+
                    12)

        else:   #XXX
            return 12
    except:
        return 13

py-newline-and-indent.
1999-01-21 17:06:11 +00:00
Barry Warsaw cb5540e72a (py-mode-map): Removed special bindings for C-m and C-j to
py-newline-and-indent.  These ought to get picked up by the mapcar
that follows; any existing binding to newline-and-indent gets shadowed
to py-newline-and-indent.

This will break some people who, e.g. bind C-m or C-j to newline but
still want these bound to py-newline-and-indent in Python mode.  On
the other hand, the forced binding pisses off Emacs diehards.  So
consider this experimental and see if any tall Dutch guys complain :-)
1999-01-19 13:26:56 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f8ddb6afa0 (py-narrow-to-defun): New command (bound to C-x n d) which mimics the
standard narrow-to-defun but works with Python classes and methods.
With no arg, narrows to most enclosing def/method.  With C-u arg,
narrows to most enclosing class.
1999-01-18 21:49:39 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 1d7b0fa9ca (py-electric-delete): Implement the XEmacs 21 blessed way of checking
for delete forwardness.
1999-01-15 02:12:31 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 1a1c6bbf8c (py-outdent-p): Short circuit infloop for illegal construct

Barry Warsaw 9c1696cff5 (py-goto-beginning-of-tqs): Finds the beginning of the triple quoted
string we find ourselves in, based on the passed in delimiter.

(py-compute-indentation): Fixes for indentation errors when we land
inside a triple quoted string.  For example:

def foo():
   if os.path.isfile(o_pri_mbox_file) and os.path.isfile(o_pub_mbox_file):
       print """\
I found both a private and a public mbox archive file
    private: %s
    public : %s

I won't move either file, but you should choose one and move it to

    %s

You may want to merge them manually, but be careful about exposing private
correspondences to the public.""" % (
    o_pri_mbox_file, o_pub_mbox_file, mbox_file)
*----indentation would be wrong on this line.

means that scrolling is now handled by the default comint variables
including comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output.  Note that this is
somewhat experimental change!

(py-comint-output-filter-function): Moved to here from the obsolete
py-process-filter function, the logic to pop and exec the next queued
file waiting to be executed.

(py-execute-file): Don't bind comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output to t,
and save the excursion when inserting the "working on" message.  This
lets the standard comint scrolling variables as set by the user,
continue to work.

(python-mode, py-shell, py-describe-mode): Remove description of
py-scroll-process-buffer.  Also in py-shell, make
comint-output-filter-functions buffer-local, and add
py-comint-output-filter-function to this hook (instead of setting the
process filter).

(py-scroll-process-buffer): Deleted this variable.  See comint
variables including comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output.

(py-execute-region): When exec files are being queued, push the next
temp file on the end of the list.

(py-submit-bug-report): Removed reporting of py-scroll-process-buffer.

Barry Warsaw 93c88cca06 (imenu-example--create-python-index-engine): Fix nesting breakage when
a method definition has args that span multiple lines; be sure to go
to the beginning of the method definition -- but watch out for the
match-data!

Guido van Rossum ab9d6f0be9 Got all the 1.5.2 news that's fit to print. Now we may need to
organize it better...
1998-08-10 22:01:13 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 650e8a6db2 (imenu-example--python-method-regexp): Patch from Christian Tanzer:
"3.67 fixes Imenu as far as classes are concerned, but some default
values for function arguments are still not supported."

This ought to fix that problem.
1998-08-10 21:46:24 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 12c9294ea3 (py-compute-indentation): Changes to the `t' condition which affect
indetnation of normal statements: The regular expression that searches
for indenting comment lines has been changed to not require a
space/tab after the first `#'.  We then explicitly look for
py-block-comment-prefix depending on the value of
py-honor-comment-indentation.

I think this more accurately reflects the documentation for
py-honor-comment-indentation.

Barry Warsaw 71c3adb7ec #Typos from previous checkin 1998-08-10 16:34:33 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 41a05c75d4 Huge number of docstring changes, typo fixes, rewordings, GNU standard
conformations, etc., etc. inspired and given by Michael Ernst.  These
include error string fixes, moving of comments to docstrings, some
other non-related typos, terminology standardizing (b/w TP and myself,
and b/w myself and myself :-) although more can still be done.
E.g. "outdenting" => "dedenting".

Barry Warsaw 1b3442493a (py-execute-region): When temp-names are broken (Emacs 19.34), a
serial number isn't enough to uniquify the temp file name -- what if
two users are on the same machine?  Add in the (emacs-pid) to help
further.  Should never be tickled on Emacs 20, XEmacs 20, 21.

Barry Warsaw 7c29b2328b (py-beginning-of-def-or-class, py-end-of-def-or-class,
py-mark-def-or-class): Integrated Michael Ernst latest patches.
Primarily, it allows functions that search or mark defs/classes based
on programmatic specification, to take an 'either flag value which
allows searching for both classes and defs (stopping at the nearest
construct).

Also clean up some docstrings.
1998-07-07 17:45:38 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 003932a508 (py-comment-indent-function): A replacement for
comment-indent-function's default lambda value (in simple.el), this
version finally kills this nit: auto-filling a comment that starts in
column zero with filladapt turned off would cascade the #'s to the
right.

Now auto-filling seems to work with or without filladapt, and with the
comment starting in any column.

(python-mode): Set comment-indent-function.

Barry Warsaw 820273d6d1 More ME patches:
(py-execute-import-or-reload): Cool new command that imports or
reloads the current file as a module, so as not to clutter the global

class to the interpreter.  Bound to C-M-x.

(py-execute-string): New command that sends arbitrary string to the
interpreter.  Not bound by default.
