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.	2004-02-29 02:15:56 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger	5c5eb86347	* Incorporate Skip's suggestions for documentation (explain the word deque ... comes from and show the differences from lists). * Add a rotate() method.	2004-02-07 21:13:00 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger	c058fd14a9	* Fix ref counting in extend() and extendleft(). ... * Let deques support reversed().	2004-02-07 02:45:22 +00:00
