decoding incomplete input (when the input stream is temporarily exhausted).
codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper
readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read()
has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to
return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines()
have a new argument keepends. Trailing "\n"s will be stripped from the lines
if keepends is false. Added C APIs PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful and
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16Stateful.
This checkin is adapted from part 2 (of 3) of Trevor Perrin's patch set.
BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY: SHIFT must now be divisible by 5. AFAIK,
nobody will care. long_pow() could be complicated to worm around that,
if necessary.
long_pow():
- BUGFIX: This leaked the base and power when the power was negative
(and so the computation delegated to float pow).
- Instead of doing right-to-left exponentiation, do left-to-right. This
is more efficient for small bases, which is the common case.
- In addition, if the exponent is large (more than FIVEARY_CUTOFF
digits), precompute [a**i % c for i in range(32)], and go left to
right 5 bits at a time.
l_divmod():
- The signature changed so that callers who don't want the quotient,
or don't want the remainder, can pass NULL in the slot they don't
want. This saves them from having to declare a vrbl for unwanted
stuff, and remembering to decref it.
long_mod(), long_div(), long_classic_div():
- Adjust to new l_divmod() signature, and simplified as a result.
This checkin is adapted from part 1 (of 3) of Trevor Perrin's patch set.
x_mul()
- sped a little by optimizing the C
- sped a lot (~2X) if it's doing a square; note that long_pow() squares
often
k_mul()
- more cache-friendly now if it's doing a square
KARATSUBA_CUTOFF
- boosted; gradeschool mult is quicker now, and it may have been too low
for many platforms anyway
KARATSUBA_SQUARE_CUTOFF
- new
- since x_mul is a lot faster at squaring now, the point at which
Karatsuba pays for squaring is much higher than for general mult
Mac-specific modules. Before all modules were compiled but would fail thanks
to a dependence on the code included when Python was built without the compiler
flag.
Closes bug #991962.
This patch includes test cases and documentation updates, as well as NEWS file
updates.
This patch also updates the sre modules so that they don't import the string
module, breaking direct circular imports.
happen in 2.3, but nobody noticed it still was getting generated (the
warning was disabled by default). OverflowWarning and
PyExc_OverflowWarning should be removed for 2.5, and left notes all over
saying so.
truncate() left the stream position unchanged, which meant the
"truncated" data didn't go away:
>>> io.write('abc')
>>> io.truncate(0)
>>> io.write('xyz')
>>> io.getvalue()
'abcxyz'

system that does the same.
python fails to build because it doesn't detect gnu pth in pthread
emulation. See C comments in patch for details.

Also add tests for infinite symlink loops and parent symlinks that need to be

Closes bug #570300. Thanks Johannes Gijsbers for the fix.
interning were not clear here -- a subclass could be mutable, for
example -- and had bugs. Explicitly interning a subclass of string
via intern() will raise a TypeError. Internal operations that attempt
to intern a string subclass will have no effect.
Added a few tests to test_builtin that includes the old buggy code and
verifies that calls like PyObject_SetAttr() don't fail. Perhaps these
tests should have gone in test_string.
the tim-doctest-merge-24a2 tag on the the tim-doctest-branch branch.
We did development on the branch in case it wouldn't land in time for
2.4a2, but the branch looked good: Edward's tests passed there, ditto
Python's tests, and ditto the Zope3 tests. Together, those hit doctest
heavily.

to write unicode strings directly and sets Japanese users free from
weird manual escaping <wink> in shift_jis environments.

unicodedata.east_asian_width(). You can still implement your own
simple width() function using it like this:
def width(u):
w = 0
for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2
else: w += 1
return w

will be fixed in their future development branches but they'll keep
the POSIX-incompatibility for their backward-compatiblities in near
future.
* Fixes an incorrect variable in a PyDict_CheckExact.
* Allow general mapping locals arguments for the execfile() function
and exec statement.
* Add tests.
Major rewrite of the math module docs. Slapped in "radians" where
appropriate; grouped the functions into reasonable categories; supplied
many more words to address common confusions about some of the subtler
issues.
discussed recently in python-dev:
In _locale module:
- bind_textdomain_codeset() binding
In gettext module:
- bind_textdomain_codeset() function
- lgettext(), lngettext(), ldgettext(), ldngettext(),
which return translated strings encoded in
preferred system encoding, if
bind_textdomain_codeset() was not used.
- Added equivalent functionality in translate()
function and catalog classes.
Every change was also documented.
and Thread.__delete() was called after a Thread instance was created. Problem
resulted from a currentThread() call in an 'assert' statement being optimized
out and dummy_thread.get_ident() always returning -1 and thus overwriting the
entry for the _MainThread() instance created in 'threading' at import time.
Closes bug #993394.
__oct__, and __hex__. Raise TypeError if an invalid type is
returned. Note that PyNumber_Int and PyNumber_Long can still
return ints or longs. Fixes SF bug #966618.
and installed layouts to make maintenance simple and easy. And it
also adds four new codecs; big5hkscs, euc-jis-2004, shift-jis-2004
and iso2022-jp-2004.
I don't agree it had a bug (see the report), so this is *not* a candidate
for backporting, but the docs were confusing and the Queue implementation
was old enough to vote.
Rewrote put/put_nowait/get/get_nowait from scratch, to use a pair of
Conditions (not_full and not_empty), sharing a common mutex. The code
is 1/4 the size now, and 6.25x easier to understand. For blocking
with timeout, we also get to reuse (indirectly) the tedious timeout
code from threading.Condition. The Full and Empty exceptions raised
by non-blocking calls are now easy (instead of nearly impossible) to
explain truthfully: Full is raised if and only if the Queue truly
is full when the non-blocking put call checks the queue size, and
similarly for Empty versus non-blocking get.
What I don't know is whether the new implementation is slower (or
faster) than the old one. I don't really care. Anyone who cares
a lot is encouraged to check that.

This is a derived patch, taking the opportunity to add some organization
to the now-large pile of datetime-related macros, and to factor out
tedious repeated text.
Also improved some clumsy wording in NEWS.
