Raymond Hettinger 354433a59d SF patch #872326: Generator expression implementation
(Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.)

The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be
checked-in soon.  Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's
rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in
in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev).

The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is
meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch.  Further additions are
welcome from everyone.  Please stress test this new feature as much as
possible before the alpha release.

Raymond Hettinger 0e371f2cb6 Make sure "del d[n]" is properly supported. Was necessary because the
same method that implements __setitem__ also implements __delitem__.
Also, there were several good use cases (removing items from a queue
and implementing Forth style stack ops).

Fred Drake 04d92c37f2 Remove list of pickle protocol names used by the copy module; there
are enough subtleties to pickling that we don't want misunderstanding
to spread because we don't provide all the information twice.  The
reference to the pickle module for information will have to suffice;
at least only one portion of the docs will be out of date.  ;-(

Raymond Hettinger 49f9bd15ff SF feature request #686323: Minor array module enhancements
array.extend() now accepts iterable arguments implements as a series

Brett Cannon d1080a3418 Have strftime() check its time tuple argument to make sure the tuple's values
are within proper boundaries as specified in the docs.

day of year).

Fixes bug #897625.

* Apply the new method to asynchat.py.
* Add comparison operators to make deques more substitutable for lists.
* Replace the LookupErrors with IndexErrors to more closely match lists.

David Ascher e2b4b32025 Implementation of patch 869468
Allow the user to create Tkinter.Tcl objects which are
just like Tkinter.Tk objects except that they do not
initialize Tk. This is useful in circumstances where the
script is being run on machines that do not have an X
server running -- in those cases, Tk initialization fails,
even if no window is ever created.

Includes documentation change and tests.

Tested on Linux, Solaris and Windows.

Martin v. Löwis d3f4a1a00a Patch #893566: Document that tp_dealloc may be called from any thread. 2004-02-15 21:01:17 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger ab517d2eac Fine tune the speed/space trade-off for overallocating small lists.
The Py2.3 approach overallocated small lists by up to 8 elements.
The last checkin would limited this to one but slowed down (by 20 to 30%)
the creation of small lists between 3 to 8 elements.

This tune-up balances the two, limiting overallocation to 3 elements
(significantly reducing space consumption from Py2.3) and running faster
than the previous checkin.

The first part of the growth pattern (0, 4, 8, 16) neatly meshes with
allocators that trigger data movement only when crossing a power of two
boundary.  Also, then even numbers mesh well with common data alignments.

Sjoerd Mullender 7e6bbe1516 The format of the string data used in the imageop module is described
as "This is the same format as used by gl.lrectwrite() and the imgfile
module."  This implies a certain byte order in multi-byte pixel
formats.  However, the code was originally written on an SGI
(big-endian) and *uses* the fact that bytes are stored in a particular
order in ints.  This means that the code uses and produces different
byte order on little-endian systems.

This fix adds a module-level flag "backward_compatible" (default not
set, and if not set, behaves as if set to 1--i.e. backward compatible)
that can be used on a little-endian system to use the same byte order
as the SGI.  Using this flag it is then possible to prepare
SGI-compatible images on a little-endian system.

This patch is the result of a (small) discussion on python-dev and was
submitted to SourceForge as patch #874358.
