Jim Fulton	4b59f9165d	Changed the assignment of PyType_GenericNew to tp_new slot. Now do ... this in module initialization before calling PyType_Ready. (Sorry Tim.) This is necessary to compile on cygwin. AFAIK, we support cygwin. If so, then we need to write extentions this way.	2003-06-28 11:53:29 +00:00

Raymond Hettinger	6f3eaa67e5	SF patch #761519: Fixes for bugs 760703 and 757821 ... SF bug #760703: SocketHandler and LogRecord don't work well together SF bug #757821: logging module docs Applied Vinay Sajip's patch with a few minor fixups and a NEWS item. Patched __init__.py - added new function makeLogRecord (for bug report 760703). Patched handlers.py - updated some docstrings and deleted some old commented-out code. Patched test_logging.py to make use of makeLogRecord. Patched liblogging.tex to fill documentation gaps (both 760703 and bug 757821).	2003-06-27 21:43:39 +00:00
Tim Peters	6ebe61fa80	A hack to ease compatibility with pre-2.3 Pythons: by default, doctest ... now accepts "True" when a test expects "1", and similarly for "False" versus "0". This is un-doctest-like, but on balance makes it much more pleasant to write doctests that pass under 2.2 and 2.3. I expect it to go away again, when 2.2 is forgotten. In the meantime, there's a new doctest module constant that can be passed to a new optional argument, if you want to turn this behavior off. Note that this substitution is very simple-minded: the expected and actual outputs have to consist of single tokens. No attempt is made, e.g., to accept [True, False] when a test expects [1, 0]. This is a simple hack for simple tests, and I intend to keep it that way.	2003-06-27 20:48:05 +00:00
Fred Drake	095f817330	Don't assume the name of the table of contents will be contents.html; ... that won't be right when mkhowto is called with --numeric (as it is for the Python Tutorial). Save the actual name we use when we build the table of contents, then use that in the page head metadata. The node2label.pl script will munge this properly when --numeric isn't given, so this works in both cases. Closes SF bug #761830.	2003-06-27 18:26:01 +00:00
Fred Drake	25b5358cf2	Add definitions of the test and testlist symbols in the grammar so ... there are no gaps in the definitions. Closes SF bug #726150.	2003-06-27 17:12:43 +00:00

Include a note about Sleepycat's BerkeleyDB license with regards to distributing it within non-opensource applications and include a link to their website for license details. Document that 'r' is the default flag for the legacy bsddb btopen(), hashopen(), and rnopen() functions. This is apparently different than the dbm libraries in other languages according to Bug #732951.

Guido van Rossum	0fc8f00252	- pythunrun.c, Py_Finalize(): move the call to _Py_PrintReferences() ... even farther down, to just before the call to _PyObject_DebugMallocStats(). This required the following changes: - pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception (ever). - object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL, don't raise an exception but return 0. This means that when printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on and on. But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see first bullet). - Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.	2003-04-15 15:12:39 +00:00

Barry Warsaw	a1ce93f87c	From http://mail.python.org/pipermail/i18n-sig/2003-April/001557.html ... - Expose NullTranslations and GNUTranslations to __all__ - Set the default charset to iso-8859-1. It used to be None, which would cause problems with .ugettext() if the file had no charset parameter. Arguably, the po/mo file would be broken, but I still think iso-8859-1 is a reasonable default. - Add a "coerce" default argument to GNUTranslations's constructor. The reason for this is that in Zope, we want all msgids and msgstrs to be Unicode. For the latter, we could use .ugettext() but there isn't currently a mechanism for Unicode-ifying msgids. The plan then is that the charset parameter specifies the encoding for both the msgids and msgstrs, and both are decoded to Unicode when read. For example, we might encode po files with utf-8. I think the GNU gettext tools don't care. Since this could potentially break code [*] that wants to use the encoded interface .gettext(), the constructor flag is added, defaulting to False. Most code I suspect will want to set this to True and use .ugettext(). - A few other minor changes from the Zope project, including asserting that a zero-length msgid must have a Project-ID-Version header for it to be counted as the metadata record.	2003-04-11 18:36:43 +00:00

Just van Rossum	96b1c903f5	Patch #683592 revisited, after discussions with MvL: ... - Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir() will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode argument. - And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII. - Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing the error and fall back to a byte string.) - Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex. - Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation. This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are supposed to.	2003-03-03 17:32:15 +00:00

Gustavo Niemeyer	a33d0aa693	Unparenting BZ2File, as discussed in SF patch #661796. ... * Modules/bz2module.c (BZ2FileObject): Now the structure includes a pointer to a file object, instead of "inheriting" one. Also, some members were copied from the PyFileObject structure to avoid dealing with the internals of that structure from outside fileobject.c. (Util_GetLine,Util_DropReadAhead,Util_ReadAhead,Util_ReadAheadGetLineSkip, BZ2File_write,BZ2File_writelines,BZ2File_init,BZ2File_dealloc, BZ2Comp_dealloc,BZ2Decomp_dealloc): These functions were adapted to the change above. (BZ2File_seek,BZ2File_close): Use PyObject_CallMethod instead of getting the function attribute locally. (BZ2File_notsup): Removed, since it's not necessary anymore to overload truncate(), and readinto() with dummy functions. (BZ2File_methods): Added xreadlines() as an alias to BZ2File_getiter, and removed truncate() and readinto(). (BZ2File_get_newlines,BZ2File_get_closed,BZ2File_get_mode,BZ2File_get_name, BZ2File_getset): Implemented getters for "newlines", "mode", and "name". (BZ2File_members): Implemented "softspace" member. (BZ2File_init): Reworked to create a file instance instead of initializing itself as a file subclass. Also, pass "name" object untouched to the file constructor, and use PyObject_CallFunction instead of building the argument tuple locally. (BZ2File_Type): Set tp_new to PyType_GenericNew, tp_members to BZ2File_members, and tp_getset to BZ2File_getset. (initbz2): Do not set BZ2File_Type.tp_base nor BZ2File_Type.tp_new. * Doc/lib/libbz2.tex Do not mention that BZ2File inherits from the file type.	2003-02-11 18:46:20 +00:00

This allows things like if adatetime in some_sequence: and somedict[adatetime] = whatever to work as expected even if some_sequence contains non-datetime objects, or somedict non-datetime keys, because they only call __eq__.

Tim Peters	8d81a012ef	date and datetime comparison: when we don't know how to ... compare against "the other" argument, we raise TypeError, in order to prevent comparison from falling back to the default (and worse than useless, in this case) comparison by object address. That's fine so far as it goes, but leaves no way for another date/datetime object to make itself comparable to our objects. For example, it leaves Marc-Andre no way to teach mxDateTime dates how to compare against Python dates. Discussion on Python-Dev raised a number of impractical ideas, and the simple one implemented here: when we don't know how to compare against "the other" argument, we raise TypeError *unless* the other object has a timetuple attr. In that case, we return NotImplemented instead, and Python will give the other object a shot at handling the comparison then. Note that comparisons of time and timedelta objects still suffer the original problem, though.	2003-01-24 22:36:34 +00:00

Tim Peters	327098a613	New rule for tzinfo subclasses handling both standard and daylight time: ... When daylight time ends, an hour repeats on the local clock (for example, in US Eastern, the clock jumps from 1:59 back to 1:00 again). Times in the repeated hour are ambiguous. A tzinfo subclass that wants to play with astimezone() needs to treat times in the repeated hour as being standard time. astimezone() previously required that such times be treated as daylight time. There seems no killer argument either way, but Guido wants the standard-time version, and it does seem easier the new way to code both American (local-time based) and European (UTC-based) switch rules, and the astimezone() implementation is simpler.	2003-01-20 22:54:38 +00:00

Tim Peters	397301eccb	The tzinfo methods utcoffset() and dst() must return a timedelta object ... (or None) now.

Tim Peters	f36151556f	A quicker astimezone() implementation, rehabilitating an earlier ... suggestion from Guido, along with a formal correctness proof of the trickiest bit. The intricacy of the proof reveals how delicate this is, but also how robust the conclusion: correctness doesn't rely on dst() returning +- one hour (not all real time zones do!), it only relies on: 1. That dst() returns a (any) non-zero value if and only if daylight time is in effect. and 2. That the tzinfo subclass implements a consistent notion of time zone. The meaning of "consistent" was a hidden assumption, which is now an explicit requirement in the docs. Alas, it's an unverifiable (by the datetime implementation) requirement, but so it goes.	2003-01-01 21:51:37 +00:00

Tim Peters	9532298c82	Removed the now-untrue (or soon-to-be untrue) part of the astimezone() ... docs.

Walter Dörwald	d9a6ad3beb	Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is ... supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(), this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e. any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a TypeError.

If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time, which makes sense to me for anonymous data.	2002-12-12 12:23:32 +00:00
