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!

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.

and unicode.strip with a str argument.

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)

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.
