Tim Peters 46c04e140c random.gauss() uses a piece of hidden state used by nothing else,
and the .seed() and .whseed() methods failed to reset it.  In other
words, setting the seed didn't completely determine the sequence of
results produced by random.gauss().  It does now.  Programs repeatedly
mixing calls to a seed method with calls to gauss() may see different
results now.

Bugfix candidate (random.gauss() has always been broken in this way),
despite that it may change results.

Tim Peters 81b9251d59 Mostly in SequenceMatcher.{__chain_b, find_longest_match}:
This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently
repeated as to constitute noise.  The primary benefit is an enormous
speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors
of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the
sequences have many duplicate elements.  In effect, this zooms in on
sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now.

While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider
this experimental.  Please give it a try!

Guido van Rossum 26dd830123 Clarify that the strip changes also apply to Unicode. 2002-04-26 20:11:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7dab2426ca - New builtin function enumerate(x), from PEP 279. Example:
enumerate("abc") is an iterator returning (0,"a"), (1,"b"), (2,"c").
  The argument can be an arbitrary iterable object.
2002-04-26 19:40:56 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 17afa13a9f (py-comint-output-filter-function): Put the pop-to-buffer call inside
the `when' condition so other non-Python shell comint changes won't
cause random buffers to pop.

Guido van Rossum 517c7d4fd3 PyNumber_CoerceEx: this took a shortcut (not doing anything) when the
left and right type were of the same type and not classic instances.

This shortcut is dangerous for proxy types, because it means that
coerce(Proxy(1), Proxy(2.1)) leaves Proxy(1) unchanged rather than
turning it into Proxy(1.0).

In an ever-so-slight change of semantics, I now only take the shortcut
when the left and right types are of the same type and don't have the
CHECKTYPES feature.  It so happens that classic instances have this
flag, so the shortcut is still skipped in this case (i.e. nothing
changes for classic instances).  Proxies also have this flag set
(otherwise implementing numeric operations on proxies would become
nightmarish) and this means that the shortcut is also skipped there,
as desired.  It so happens that int, long and float also have this
flag set; that means that e.g. coerce(1, 1) will now invoke
int_coerce().  This is fine: int_coerce() can deal with this, and I'm
not worried about the performance; int_coerce() is only invoked when
the user explicitly calls coerce(), which should be rarer than rare.

Barry Warsaw cf22c826a6 Fix typo in the setup of interpreter-mode-alist. 2002-04-25 21:46:33 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 884916112e SF patch #510288 by Kevin J. Butler, mod'd by Barry. This provides
better auto-recognition of a Jython file vs. a CPython (or agnostic)
file by looking at the #! line more closely, and inspecting the import
statements in the first 20000 bytes (configurable).  Specifically,

(py-import-check-point-max): New variable, controlling how far into
the buffer it will search for import statements.

(py-jpython-packages): List of package names that are Jython-ish.

(py-shell-alist): List of #! line programs and the modes associated
with them.

(jpython-mode-hook): Extra hook that runs when entering jpython-mode
(what about Jython mode? <20k wink>).

(py-choose-shell-by-shebang, py-choose-shell-by-import,
py-choose-shell): New functions.

(python-mode): Use py-choose-shell.

(jpython-mode): New command.

(py-execute-region): Don't use my previous hacky attempt at doing
this, use the new py-choose-shell function.

One other thing this file now does: it attempts to add the proper
hooks to interpreter-mode-alist and auto-mode-alist if they aren't
already there.  Might help with Emacs users since that editor doesn't
come with python-mode by default.

Barry Warsaw 4aab68e1c1 (py-execute-region): Alexander Schmolck points out that leading
whitespace can hose the needs-if test.  So just skip all blank lines
at the start of the region right off the bat.
2002-04-25 19:17:42 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 13caba30b8 (py-comint-output-filter-function): Add a pop-to-buffer call so you
always get to see the result of e.g. a py-execute-region.  Funny, this
bugged both me /and/ Guido!
2002-04-25 16:26:38 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 56bd2edeef (py-shell-hook): A new hook variable, run at the end of py-shell.
Allows for some customization of the underlying comint buffer.

(py-shell): Call the new hook.

(info-lookup-maybe-add-help): A new call suggested by Milan Zamazal to
make lookups in the Info documentation easier.

Anthony Baxter 8388895fe4 SF patch [ 545523 ] patch for 514433 bsddb.dbopen (NULL)
closes SF #514433

can now pass 'None' as the filename for the bsddb.*open functions,
and you'll get an in-memory temporary store.

docs are ripped out of the bsddb dbopen man page. Fred may want to
clean them up.

Considering this for 2.2, but not 2.1.

Barry Warsaw 0494955b8f Merge in Skip's last few updates w.r.t. py-help-at-point:
(py-mode-map): Bind py-help-at-point to f1 as well as C-c C-h

(py-help-at-point): Make sure the symbol is quoted so things like
pydoc.help('sys.platform') work correctly.  Also, leave the *Python
Output* buffer in help-mode; this may be a bit more controversial.
2002-04-22 22:05:49 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 29a90f0a7a Some contributions and ideas by Alexander Schmolck: add a keybinding
to call pychecker on the current file, add a face for pseudo
keywords self, None, True, False, and Ellipsis.  Specifically,

(py-pychecker-command, py-pychecker-command-args): New variables.

(py-pseudo-keyword-face): New face variable, defaulting to a copy of
font-lock-keyword-face.

(python-font-lock-keywords): Add an entry for self, None, True, False,
Ellipsis to be rendered in py-pseudo-keyword-face.

(py-pychecker-history): New variable.

(py-mode-map): Bind C-c C-w to py-pychecker-run.

(py-pychecker-run): New command.
2002-04-22 21:48:20 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a7cc43b9e8 Skip Montanaro's contribution (slightly mod'd by Barry) to provide a
"help-on-symbol-at-point" feature which uses pydoc to provide help on
the symbol under point, if available.

Mods include some name changes, a port to Emacs, binding the command
to C-c C-h, and providing a more informative error message if the
symbol's help can't be found (through use of a nasty bare except).

Note also that py-describe-mode has been moved off of C-c C-h m; it's
now just available on C-c ?

Closes SF patch #545439.
2002-04-22 17:15:19 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a0113cd5cd (py-execute-region): If the line at the beginning of the region is a
#! line, use the command on that line as the shell command to use to
execute the region.  I.e. if the region looks like

----------------
#! /usr/bin/env python1.5

print 'hello world'.startswith('hello')
----------------

you'll get an exception! :)

This closes SF bug #232398.
2002-04-22 16:23:29 +00:00
Barry Warsaw b2d5e62d65 (py-execute-region): If you ran this without having visited a
python-mode file, py-which-shell would have been nil and the command
to use would not get set correctly.  This changes things so that 1)
the temporary file has a .py extension, 2) the temporary file is put
into python-mode, and 3) the temporary file's py-which-shell is
captured in a local `shell' variable, which is used to calculate the
command to use.  Closes SF bug #545436.

(py-parse-state): Rip out the XEmacs-specific calls to
buffer-syntactic-context, which can get quite confused if there's an
open paren in column zero say, embedded in a triple quoted string.
This was always a performance hack anyway, and computers are fast
enough now that we should be able to get away with the slower, more
portable, full-parse branch.  Closes SF bug #451841.

Tim Peters 08e7295ef8 Windows installer: disabled Wise's "delete in-use files" uninstall
option.  It was the cause of at least one way UNWISE.EXE could vanish
(install a python; uninstall it; install it again; reboot the machine;
abracadabra the uinstaller is gone).

Bugfix candidate, but I'll backport it myself.

Walter Dörwald 068325ef92 Apply the second version of SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/536241
Add a method zfill to str, unicode and UserString and change
Lib/string.py accordingly.

This activates the zfill version in unicodeobject.c that was
commented out and implements the same in stringobject.c. It also
adds the test for unicode support in Lib/string.py back in and
uses repr() instead() of str() (as it was before Lib/string.py 1.62)

Martin v. Löwis 688357e035 Patch #512005: getrusage() returns struct-like object. 2002-04-08 21:28:20 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0986d8250f - A type can now inherit its metatype from its base type. Previously,
when PyType_Ready() was called, if ob_type was found to be NULL, it
  was always set to &PyType_Type; now it is set to base->ob_type,
  where base is tp_base, defaulting to &PyObject_Type.

- PyType_Ready() accidentally did not inherit tp_is_gc; now it does.

Bugfix candidate.
