Neal Norwitz ce5df49957 SF 539024, Fix broken link to numpy 2002-04-04 14:02:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 77f6a65eb0 Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described in
PEP 285.  Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation.  I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison.  I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.

Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.

Tim Peters 8f01b680c8 Change Windows file.truncate() to (a) restore the original file position,
and (b) stop trying to prevent file growth.

Beef up the file.truncate() docs.

Change test_largefile.py to stop assuming that f.truncate() moves the
file pointer to the truncation point, and to verify instead that it leaves
the file position alone.  Remove the test for what happens when a
specified size exceeds the original file size (it's ill-defined, according
to the Single Unix Spec).
2002-03-12 03:04:44 +00:00
Tim Peters fb05db2cae file_truncate(): provide full "large file" support on Windows, by
dropping MS's inadequate _chsize() function.  This was inspired by
SF patch 498109 ("fileobject truncate support for win32"), which I
rejected.

libstdtypes.tex:  Someone who knows should update the availability
blurb.  For example, if it's available on Linux, it would be good to
say so.

test_largefile:  Uncommented the file.truncate() tests, and reworked to
do more.  The old comment about "permission errors" in the truncation
tests under Windows was almost certainly due to that the file wasn't open
for *write* access at this point, so of course MS wouldn't let you
truncate it.  I'd be appalled if a Unixish system did.

CAUTION:  Someone should run this test on Linux (etc) too.  The
truncation part was commented out before.  Note that test_largefile isn't
run by default.

Tim Peters 9f4341b3b0 SF bug #501591: dir() doc is old
Bugfix candidate.

+ Updated dir() description to match actual 2.2 behavior.

+ Replaced the dir(sys) example with dir(struct), because the former
  was way out of date and is bound to change frequently, while the
  latter is stable.

+ Added a note cautioning that dir() is supplied primarily for
  convenience at an interactive prompt (hoping to discourage its
  use as the foundation of introspective code outside the core).

Tim Peters ab034fab03 Implement os.waitpid() for Windows, in a way that's compatible with Linux
where their capabilities intersect.  Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).

Tim Peters c48a3ca161 Add new constants usable with os.popen() on Windows.
NOTE:  this seems a mess wrt which symbols are available on which
platforms.  I can't fix it, but I didn't add to it <wink>, and
included an XXX comment about names claimed to be available on
Windows that aren't.  If anyone can figure out the whole ugly truth,
I'm sure a better organization will suggest itself.

Guido van Rossum 4f3a62d9bc There's no need for typechecks on the second and third argument of

Guido van Rossum 146483964e Patch supplied by Burton Radons for his own SF bug #487390: Modifying
type.__module__ behavior.

This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this).  Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right.  Apologies if they're
not.  This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer.  It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output.  It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.

Fred Drake 1722e4a952 Re-word the intro slightly to avoid reader misunderstanding: strings are not
mutable!  We do not want to shock anyone.
This closes SF bug #483805.

Re-factor so that the description of the "access" keyword parameter is not
repeated in both the descriptions of mmap().  Also, only make sure the first
description of mmap() appears in the index.  The the index link is followed,
the first is now used to locate the page on the screen; chances are really good
both will be visible.  This avoids the problem that the index entry for the
second is selected and the first version is not visible, making the reader
consider that mmap() is not available on Windows.
2001-12-03 18:27:22 +00:00
Fred Drake 3570551d6f Remove most references to __members__ and __methods__, leaving only one pair

list of modules.
2001-11-28 07:32:53 +00:00
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.

Barry Warsaw 69ab5836ae Paul Rubin reminds me that of course a class's constructor /could/ get
called, if the pickler found a __getinitargs__() method.
2001-11-18 16:24:01 +00:00
Fred Drake ebbd14d7c2 Clarified a couple of issues for the startElement*() handlers:
- the attrs value may be re-used by the parser, so the implementation
  cannot rely on owning the object.
- an element with no namespace encountered in namespace mode will have a URI
  of None, not "" (startElementNS() only).

Fixed a couple of minor markup issues as well.

2001-11-15 17:22:04 +00:00
Tim Peters 5ebfd36afa CVS patch #477161: New "access" keyword for mmap, from Jay T Miller.
This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write-
through and copy-on-write mmaps.  A new keyword argument is introduced
because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so
while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to
spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick.
The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward-
compatibility issue here.
