Fred Drake 79e75e1916 Use string.ascii_letters instead of string.letters (SF bug #226706). 2001-07-20 19:05:50 +00:00
Tim Peters 2f228e75e4 Get rid of the superstitious "~" in dict hashing's "i = (~hash) & mask".
The comment following used to say:
	/* We use ~hash instead of hash, as degenerate hash functions, such
	   as for ints <sigh>, can have lots of leading zeros. It's not
	   really a performance risk, but better safe than sorry.
	   12-Dec-00 tim:  so ~hash produces lots of leading ones instead --
	   what's the gain? */
That is, there was never a good reason for doing it.  And to the contrary,
as explained on Python-Dev last December, it tended to make the *sum*
(i + incr) & mask (which is the first table index examined in case of
collison) the same "too often" across distinct hashes.

Changing to the simpler "i = hash & mask" reduced the number of string-dict
collisions (== # number of times we go around the lookup for-loop) from about
6 million to 5 million during a full run of the test suite (these are
approximate because the test suite does some random stuff from run to run).
The number of collisions in non-string dicts also decreased, but not as
dramatically.

Note that this may, for a given dict, change the order (wrt previous
releases) of entries exposed by .keys(), .values() and .items().  A number
of std tests suffered bogus failures as a result.  For dicts keyed by
small ints, or (less so) by characters, the order is much more likely to be
in increasing order of key now; e.g.,

>>> d = {}
>>> for i in range(10):
...    d[i] = i
...
>>> d
{0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 4, 5: 5, 6: 6, 7: 7, 8: 8, 9: 9}
>>>

Unfortunately. people may latch on to that in small examples and draw a
bogus conclusion.

test_support.py
    Moved test_extcall's sortdict() into test_support, made it stronger,
    and imported sortdict into other std tests that needed it.
test_unicode.py
    Excluced cp875 from the "roundtrip over range(128)" test, because
    cp875 doesn't have a well-defined inverse for unicode("?", "cp875").
    See Python-Dev for excruciating details.
Cookie.py
    Chaged various output functions to sort dicts before building
    strings from them.
test_extcall
    Fiddled the expected-result file.  This remains sensitive to native
    dict ordering, because, e.g., if there are multiple errors in a
    keyword-arg dict (and test_extcall sets up many cases like that), the
    specific error Python complains about first depends on native dict
    ordering.

Guido van Rossum 58b6f5b53e Since this module already uses doctest-style examples, I figured I'd
add a self-test using doctest.  Results:

- The docstring needs to be a raw string because it uses \"...\".

- The oreo example was broken: the Set-Cookie output doesn't add
  quotes around "doublestuff".

- I had to change the example that prints the class of a Cookie.Cookie
  instance to avoid incorporating an arbitrary object address in the
  test output.

Pretty good score for both doctest and the doc string, I'd say!

Andrew M. Kuchling c05abb3bda Patch #103473 from dougfort: Some sites (amazon.com for one) drop
cookies that contain '=' as part of the value. This patch modifies
Cookie.py to allow '=' as a legal character, and to make the key
search nongreedy so it stops at the first '='.

Skip Montanaro e99d5ea25b added __all__ lists to a number of Python modules
added test script and expected output file as well
this closes patch 103297.
__all__ attributes will be added to other modules without first submitting
a patch, just adding the necessary line to the test script to verify
more-or-less correct implementation.

Tim Peters 88869f9787 Whitespace normalization. 2001-01-14 23:36:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 8152d32375 Update the code to better reflect recommended style:
Use != instead of <> since <> is documented as "obsolescent".
Use "is" and "is not" when comparing with None or type objects.

Fred Drake ff5364ac9d Whitespace cleanup; now passes the regression test (the last checkin made
it fail on a TabError (inconsistent tab/space usage)).

Removed a comment about including a test since there is a regression test
for this module.
