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.

PyObject_IsTrue() can have an error result.

Also, added missing docs for PyObject_Not().

Will backport.

Fred Drake f536827c65 Include version annotation for PyObject_Call(). 2003-01-25 07:48:13 +00:00
Walter Dörwald d9a6ad3beb Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.

This closes SF patch #649608.

Walter Dörwald 6d5f30eaed Document that the second argument to PyObject_IsInstance
may be a tuple. This closes SF patch

Walter Dörwald f171540ab8 Change int() so that passing a string, unicode, float or long argument
that is outside the integer range no longer raises OverflowError, but
returns a long object instead.

Add a little more detail to the example that had not been closed.

Bugfix: this should be made part of 2.2.1.

Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

Tim Peters 1fc240e851 Generalize dictionary() to accept a sequence of 2-sequences. At the
outer level, the iterator protocol is used for memory-efficiency (the
outer sequence may be very large if fully materialized); at the inner
level, PySequence_Fast() is used for time-efficiency (these should
always be sequences of length 2).

dictobject.c, new functions PyDict_{Merge,Update}FromSeq2.  These are
wholly analogous to PyDict_{Merge,Update}, but process a sequence-of-2-
sequences argument instead of a mapping object.  For now, I left these
functions file static, so no corresponding doc changes.  It's tempting
to change dict.update() to allow a sequence-of-2-seqs argument too.

Also changed the name of dictionary's keyword argument from "mapping"
to "x".  Got a better name?  "mapping_or_sequence_of_pairs" isn't
attractive, although more so than "mosop" <wink>.

abstract.h, abstract.tex:  Added new PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE function,
much faster than going thru the all-purpose PySequence_Size.

libfuncs.tex:
- Document dictionary().
- Fiddle tuple() and list() to admit that their argument is optional.
- The long-winded repetitions of "a sequence, a container that supports
  iteration, or an iterator object" is getting to be a PITA.  Many
  months ago I suggested factoring this out into "iterable object",
  where the definition of that could include being explicit about
  generators too (as is, I'm not sure a reader outside of PythonLabs
  could guess that "an iterator object" includes a generator call).
- Please check my curly braces -- I'm going blind <0.9 wink>.

abstract.c, PySequence_Tuple():  When PyObject_GetIter() fails, leave
its error msg alone now (the msg it produces has improved since
PySequence_Tuple was generalized to accept iterable objects, and
PySequence_Tuple was also stomping on the msg in cases it shouldn't
have even before PyObject_GetIter grew a better msg).

Fred Drake 3adf79e3e2 Break the Python/C API manual into smaller files by chapter. This manual
has grown beyond what font-lock will work with using the default (X)Emacs
settings.

Indentation of the description has been made consistent, and a number of
smaller markup adjustments have been made as well.
