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.

Martin v. Löwis 00f1e3f5a5 Patch #534304: Implement phase 1 of PEP 263. 2002-08-04 17:29:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2d3b986480 Disambiguate the grammar for backtick.
The old syntax suggested that a trailing comma was OK inside backticks,
but in fact (due to ideosyncrasies of pgen) it was not.  Fix the grammar
to avoid the ambiguity.  Fred: you may want to update the refman.

Tim Peters 84ee323cb9 John Aycock correctly pointed out that the grammar for
"power" was formally ambiguous.  Here's his fix.

Guido van Rossum 1c917072ca Very subtle syntax change: in a list comprehension, the testlist in
"for <var> in <testlist> may no longer be a single test followed by
a comma.  This solves SF bug #431886.  Note that if the testlist
contains more than one test, a trailing comma is still allowed, for
maximum backward compatibility; but this example is not:

    [(x, y) for x in range(10), for y in range(10)]
                              ^

The fix involved creating a new nonterminal 'testlist_safe' whose
definition doesn't allow the trailing comma if there's only one test:

    testlist_safe: test [(',' test)+ [',']]

Guido van Rossum 4668b000a1 Implement PEP 238 in its (almost) full glory.
This introduces:

- A new operator // that means floor division (the kind of division
  where 1/2 is 0).

- The "future division" statement ("from __future__ import division)
  which changes the meaning of the / operator to implement "true
  division" (where 1/2 is 0.5).

- New overloadable operators __truediv__ and __floordiv__.

- New slots in the PyNumberMethods struct for true and floor division,
  new abstract APIs for them, new opcodes, and so on.

I emphasize that without the future division statement, the semantics
of / will remain unchanged until Python 3.0.

Not yet implemented are warnings (default off) when / is used with int
or long arguments.

This has been on display since 7/31 as SF patch #443474.

Flames to /dev/null.

Tim Peters 5ca576ed0a Merging the gen-branch into the main line, at Guido's direction. Yay!
Bugfix candidate in inspect.py:  it was referencing "self" outside of
a method.

Thomas Wouters 434d0828d8 Support for three-token characters (**=, >>=, <<=) which was written by
Michael Hudson, and support in general for the augmented assignment syntax.
The graminit.c patch is large!

Barry Warsaw 23c9ec87cf PEP 214, Extended print Statement, has been accepted by the BDFL.
eval_code2(): Implement new bytecodes PRINT_ITEM_TO and
PRINT_NEWLINE_TO, as per accepted SF patch #100970.

Also update graminit.c based on related Grammar/Grammar changes.

Thomas Wouters 5215225ea1 Apply SF patch #101135, adding 'import module as m' and 'from module import
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.

There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.

Jeremy Hylton 7690151c7e slightly modified version of Greg Ewing's extended call syntax patch
executive summary:
Instead of typing 'apply(f, args, kwargs)' you can type 'f(*arg, **kwargs)'.
Some file-by-file details follow.

Grammar/Grammar:
    simplify varargslist, replacing '*' '*' with '**'
    add * & ** options to arglist

Include/opcode.h & Lib/dis.py:
    define three new opcodes
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR
        CALL_FUNCTION_KW
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW

Python/ceval.c:
    extend TypeError "keyword parameter redefined" message to include
        the name of the offending keyword
    reindent CALL_FUNCTION using four spaces
    add handling of sequences and dictionaries using extend calls
    fix function import_from to use PyErr_Format

Guido van Rossum 590baa4a7a * import.c (get_module): pass .py filename to parse_file, not .pyc filename!

  functions.

  function by lambda as grammar entity: instead of "lambda('x: x+1')" you
  write "lambda x: x+1".
* Xtmodule.c (checkargdict): return 0, not NULL, for error.

1993-06-17 12:35:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 25831652fd Several changes in one:
(1) dictionaries/mappings now have attributes values() and items() as
well as keys(); at the C level, use the new function mappinggetnext()
to iterate over a dictionary.

(2) "class C(): ..." is now illegal; you must write "class C: ...".

(3) Class objects now know their own name (finally!); and minor
improvements to the way how classes, functions and methods are
represented as strings.

(4) Added an "access" statement and semantics.  (This is still
experimental -- as long as you don't use the keyword 'access' nothing
should be changed.)
