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.

Raymond Hettinger c1e4f9dd92 Use a new macro, PySequence_Fast_ITEMS to factor out code common to 
three recent optimizations.  Aside from reducing code volume, it
increases readability.

(Submitted by George Yoshida)
 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 
Add a new opcode, LIST_APPEND, and apply it to the code generation for
list comprehensions.  Reduces the per-loop overhead by about a third.

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__().

Simplifies the API, reduces the code size, adds flexibility, and makes
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.

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.

(it took two years for the errors to surface), we decided to dedocument
it entirely, leaving unittest cleaner than before.

Guido van Rossum 6c9e130524 - Removed FutureWarnings related to hex/oct literals and conversions

  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.

allows tees of tees without additional memory costs.

The root ideas for this structure were contributed by Andrew Koenig
and Guido van Rossum.

Raymond Hettinger 42b1ba31af * list.sort() now supports three keyword arguments: cmp, key, and reverse. 
key provides C support for the decorate-sort-undecorate pattern.
  reverse provide a stable sort of the list with the comparisions reversed.

* Amended the docs to guarantee sort stability.

Skip Montanaro dffeed3ffa Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnames 
is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames.  In the common case,
this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time.
The first row of the file will be used.  In the uncommon case, this means
the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time
and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can
contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.

Fred Drake f7a0d68708 Update the list of directories passed to py2texi.el. The ordering was 
wrong, and commontex/ needed to be added.

Fred Drake d4956aac96 Make the "path math" more robust, and support both relative and 
absolute paths as input.
 2003-09-28 03:10:09 +00:00

fewer changes to make to version numbers after a release.

Raymond Hettinger 43b5e40795 * Fix markup. 
* Fix entry order:
  -  >>> before ...
  - __slots__ in the S section (like __future__ is in the F section)

Need to test the repaired(?) link to Guido's webpage.

Still needs to have the module reference links made relative to
the module directory instead of the tut directory.  That will
require Fred's magic touch.

Fred Drake d4a1419f53 Lots of markup corrections. Some are minor, but others are not: the 
contents of an \item should not be enclosed in a group!

Fred Drake cc2e48dd79 Make sure LaTeX2HTML's $TEXINPUTS variable is initialized to include 
directories identified in the TEXINPUTS environment variable.
I think this is the last part of the fix for the version number
problems seen in the documentation for the 2.3.1 release.

Fred Drake 410825ac8b Move content input files shared among the documents into a new directory 
(commontex/), leaving only style support files in texinputs/.  This makes
texinputs/ part of the formatting tools while commontex/ is strictly part
of the actual documentation.
 2003-09-27 07:11:17 +00:00

Fred Drake e395e2278c Fix the most recent change to the invocation of the mkhowto script so 
that it works for all targets.

The issue here is that there are two different levels in the directory
tree at which we execute mkhowto, so we can't define it just once
using a relative path (at least not with the current implementation
and Makefile structure).  We use the GNUish $(shell) function here to
work around that restriction by identifying mkhowto using an absolute
path.
