Andrew M. Kuchling 9d93341489 [Patch #1529811] Correction to description of r|* mode 2006-07-28 12:07:12 +00:00
Tim Peters 750c4420a8 Live with that "the hardware address" is an ill-defined
concept, and that different ways of trying to find "the
hardware address" may return different results.  Certainly
true on both of my Windows boxes, and in different ways
(see whining on python-dev).

Barry Warsaw 00decd7835 Patch #1520294: Support for getset and member descriptors in types.py,
inspect.py, and pydoc.py.  Specifically, this allows for querying the type of
an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting
their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function.

This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides
definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module.
These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and
types.MemberDescriptorType.  Query functions are provided as
inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor().  The
implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations
other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types.

The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates.

I commit these changes now under these guiding principles:

1. Silence is assent.  The release manager has not said "no", and of the few
   people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0".

2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a
   forcing function. :)

Windows build patches will follow.

Barry Warsaw b110bad2d9 More RFC 2231 improvements for the email 4.0 package. As Mark Sapiro rightly
points out there are really two types of continued headers defined in this
RFC (i.e. "encoded" parameters with the form "name*0*=" and unencoded
parameters with the form "name*0="), but we were were handling them both the
same way and that isn't correct.

This patch should be much more RFC compliant in that only encoded params are
%-decoded and the charset/language information is only extract if there are
any encoded params in the segments.  If there are no encoded params then the
RFC says that there will be no charset/language parts.

Note however that this will change the return value for Message.get_param() in
some cases.  For example, whereas before if you had all unencoded param
continuations you would have still gotten a 3-tuple back from this method
(with charset and language == None), you will now get just a string.  I don't
believe this is a backward incompatible change though because the
documentation for this method already indicates that either return value is
possible and that you must do an isinstance(val, tuple) check to discriminate
between the two.  (Yeah that API kind of sucks but we can't change /that/
without breaking code.)

Test cases, some documentation updates, and a NEWS item accompany this patch.

Brett Cannon caebe22038 Fix bug #1520914. Starting in 2.4, time.strftime() began to check the bounds
of values in the time tuple passed in.  Unfortunately people came to rely on
undocumented behaviour of setting unneeded values to 0, regardless of if it was
within the valid range.  Now those values force the value internally to the
minimum value when 0 is passed in.

Andrew M. Kuchling 48a49f0c3b Fit Makefile for the Python doc environment better; this is a step toward
including the howtos in the build process.

	* Put LaTeX output in ../paper-<whatever>/.
	* Put HTML output in ../html/
	* Explain some of the Makefile variables
	* Remove some cruft dating to my environment (e.g. the 'web' target)

This makefile isn't currently invoked by the documentation build process,
so these changes won't destabilize anything.

Tim Peters 43898b4f64 SequenceMatcher.get_matching_blocks(): This now guarantees that
adjacent triples in the result list describe non-adjacent matching
blocks.  That's _nice_ to have, and Guido said he wanted it.

Not a bugfix candidate:  Guido or not ;-), this changes visible
endcase semantics (note that some tests had to change), and
nothing about this was documented before.  Since it was working
as designed, and behavior was consistent with the docs, it wasn't
"a bug".
