Raymond Hettinger 49f9bd15ff SF feature request #686323: Minor array module enhancements 
array.extend() now accepts iterable arguments implements as a series
of appends.  Besides being a user convenience and matching the behavior
for lists, this the saves memory and cycles that would be used to
create a temporary array object.

 2004-03-09 05:53:15 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger b7d05db0be Optimize tuple_slice() and make further improvements to list_slice() 
and list.extend().  Factoring the inner loops to remove the constant
structure references and fixed offsets gives speedups ranging from
20% to 30%.

Raymond Hettinger dd80f76265 SF patch #910929: Optimize list comprehensions

 2004-03-07 07:31:06 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 31017aed36 SF #904720: dict.update should take a 2-tuple sequence like dict.__init_ 
(Championed by Bob Ippolito.)

The update() method for mappings now accepts all the same argument forms
as the dict() constructor.  This includes item lists and/or keyword
arguments.

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.

This can break possible code (datetime module needed changing, for instance)
that uses 0 for values that need to be greater 1 or greater (month, day, and
day of year).

Fixes bug #897625.

Raymond Hettinger 0a4977c2f3 Replace left(), right(), and __reversed__() with the more general purpose 
__getitem__() and __setitem__().

deques work with bisect.bisect(), random.shuffle(), and random.sample().
 2004-03-01 23:16:22 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 738ec90ca1 Improvements to collections.deque(): 
* Add doctests for the examples in the library reference.
* Add two methods, left() and right(), modeled after deques in C++ STL.
* 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.

Andrew M. Kuchling 44a98237d8 [Bug #873205] Update URL 2004-01-11 23:00:16 +00:00
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.

Andrew MacIntyre f72af655c5 At 2.2, the Py<type>_Check() family of API functions (macros) changed 
semantics to include subtypes.  Most concrete object APIs then had
a Py<type>_CheckExact() macro added to test for an object's type
not including subtypes.

The PyDict_CheckExact() macro wasn't created at that time, so I've added
it for API completeness/symmetry - even though nobody has complained
about its absence in the time since 2.2 was released.

Not a backport candidate.

Andrew MacIntyre 13cd8898d2 The semantics of PyList_Check() and PyDict_Check() changed at 2.2, along

Jeremy Hylton c1be59f40a SF patch 852995: add processors feature to urllib2 
John J. Lee writes: "the patch makes it possible to implement
functionality like HTTP cookie handling, Refresh handling,
etc. etc. using handler objects. At the moment urllib2's handler
objects aren't quite up to the job, which results in a lot of
cut-n-paste and subclassing. I believe the changes are
backwards-compatible, with the exception of people who've
reimplemented build_opener()'s functionality -- those people would
need to call opener.add_handler(HTTPErrorProcessor).

The main change is allowing handlers to implement
methods like:

http_request(request)
http_response(request, response)

In addition to the usual

http_open(request)
http_error{_*}(...)
"

Note that the change isn't well documented at least in part because
handlers aren't well documented at all.  Need to fix this.

Add a bunch of new tests.  It appears that none of these tests
actually use the network, so they don't need to be guarded by a
resource flag.

  This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by
  PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing
  'L'.  The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that
  changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not
  implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to
  hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.
