Tim Peters 4a0db06edf Hack around the "2.1.6 Blank lines" bug in a way that the TOC still
displays a recognizable section title (there are extra blanks at the
end of it now, due to the nested anchor, but that's fine).

Tim Peters 7e3d961fc1 PyUnicode_EncodeUTF8: squash compiler wng. The difference of two
pointers is a signed type.  Changing "allocated" to a signed int makes
undetected overflow more likely, but there was no overflow detection
before either.

Tim Peters dc374e034a Give the Help viewer a font-size button. This isn't documented by MS,
but is documented by others on the web, and the defn of the magic flag
needed appears in MS's htmlhelp.h header file.

Tim Peters c8490c70cd Move "everything left one": the TOC now shows each doc directory as a
distinct top-level node.  Before they were all nested under an artificial
top-level node, uselessly chewing up horizontal space, and ensuring that
the only thing the user saw in the TOC upon opening the file was a single
collapsed top-level folder.

Tim Peters 4545407746 Stopped all warnings from the HTML Help Compiler, by generating proper
HTML (or, at least, proper in its view).  The TOC file is now identical
to what the HTML compiler itself generates, except for whitespace and
a glitch identified below.  The pretty-printing done by prechm.py is
pretty much destroyed for now; if you need it pretty-printed, just make
the Help Compiler save the files (it's got its own idea of pretty-
printing anyway).

Glitch:  The title of Ref Man "2.1.6 Blank lines" shows up as a blank
for now.  This is because the relevant entry in ref/index.html contains
nested anchors, and pychm really has no idea what to do with that.  I
hacked it for now to avoid any error messages or worse insanity, and
filed a bug report against the docs.

Tim Peters e21095e3c5 Widespread: Used classes in a more natural way. Added convenience
methods to squash code duplication.  Simplified several overly complex
chunks of logic.  Built output strings more with string interpolation
instead of infix '+'.  Added comments.  Exploited recent Python features
(chiefly bool and augmented assignment).

Jeremy Hylton 954aed8c8d Add test for eval() w/ free variables.

Jeremy Hylton 24ea8d3d9c Fix SF bug #505315: Make free and cell vars show up consistently in locals().
PyFrame_FastToLocals() and PyFrame_LocalsToFast() had a return if
f_nlocals was 0.  I think this was a holdover from the pre 2.1 days
when regular locals were the only kind of local variables.

The change makes it possible to use a free variable in eval or exec if
it the variable is also used elsewhere in the same block, which is
what the documentation says.

Tim Peters d9a10509ac Replaced the fiddly 5-tuples with a new Book convenience class, allowing
to reference fields via names instead of meaningless little integers.
This turned up one case where the wrong little integer was being used,
in informative progress output.  Fixed that too.

Jeremy Hylton 8d22b0409b Fix com_arglist() and update grammar fragment.
SF bug #522264 reported by Evelyn Mitchell.

The code included a comment about "STAR STAR" which was translated
into the code as the bogus attribute token.STARSTAR.  This name never
caused an attribute error because it was never retrieved.  The code
was based on an old version of the grammar that specified kwargs as
two tokens ('*' '*').  I checked as far back as 2.1 and didn't find
this production.

The fix is simple, because token.DOUBLESTAR is the only token
allowed.  Also update the grammar fragment in com_arglist().

XXX I'll bet lots of other grammar fragments in comments are out of
date, probably in this module and in compile.c.

Jack Jansen a6aa71deec Oops: we used PyMem_DEL() to clean up objects, and that's a problem since
pymalloc, apparently. Fixed, but this means all bgen-generated modules will
have to be re-generated.

I hope (and expect) that the pymalloc fixes aren't bugfix candidates, because
if they are this is one too.

Tim Peters 08d821582f _PyObject_DebugMallocStats(): Added some potentially expensive internal
consistency checks, enabled only in a debug (Py_DEBUG) build.  Note that
this never gets called automatically unless PYMALLOC_DEBUG is #define'd
too, and the envar PYTHONMALLOCSTATS exists.

Tim Peters 5379dea2a7 SF bug 544733: Cygwin test_mmap fix for Python 2.2.1
Close a file before trying to unlink it, and apparently Cygwin needs
writes to an mmap'ed file to get flushed before they're visible.

Bugfix candidate, but I think only for the 2.2 line (it's testing
features that I think were new in 2.2).

Andrew M. Kuchling 91bae441f6 Long-forgotten change: Update first paragraph with actual release date 2002-04-18 02:18:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d99b3e78dd SF bug 542984.
Change type_get_doc (the get function for __doc__) to look in tp_dict
more often, and if it finds a descriptor in tp_dict, to call it (with
a NULL instance).  This means you can add a __doc__ descriptor to a
new-style class that returns instance docs when called on an instance,
and class docs when called on a class -- or the same docs in either
case, but lazily computed.

I'll also check this into the 2.2 maintenance branch.

Walter Dörwald 2ee4be0775 Apply diff3.txt from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/536241
If a str or unicode method returns the original object,
make sure that for str and unicode subclasses the original
will not be returned.

This should prevent SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/460020
from reappearing.
