Tim Peters b1c469843f Introduced the oddly-missing PyList_CheckExact(), and used it to replace
a hard-coded type check.

Guido van Rossum f4593e0b65 *EXPERIMENTAL* speedup of slot_sq_item. This sped up the following
test dramatically:

    class T(tuple): __dynamic__ = 1
    t = T(range(1000))
    for i in range(1000): tt = tuple(t)

The speedup was about 5x compared to the previous state of CVS (1.7
vs. 8.8, in arbitrary time units).  But it's still more than twice as
slow as as the same test with __dynamic__ = 0 (0.8).

I'm not sure that I really want to go through the trouble of this kind
of speedup for every slot.  Even doing it just for the most popular
slots will be a major effort (the new slot_sq_item is 40+ lines, while
the old one was one line with a powerful macro -- unfortunately the
speedup comes from expanding the macro and doing things in a way
specific to the slot signature).

An alternative that I'm currently considering is sketched in PLAN.txt:
trap setattr on type objects.  But this will require keeping track of
all derived types using weak references.

Guido van Rossum 048eb75c2d Add Garbage Collection support to new-style classes (not yet to their
instances).

Also added GC support to various auxiliary types: super, property,
descriptors, wrappers, dictproxy.  (Only type objects have a tp_clear
field; the other types are.)

One change was necessary to the GC infrastructure.  We have statically
allocated type objects that don't have a GC header (and can't easily
be given one) and heap-allocated type objects that do have a GC
header.  Giving these different metatypes would be really ugly: I
tried, and I had to modify pickle.py, cPickle.c, copy.py, add a new
invent a new name for the new metatype and make it a built-in, change
affected tests...  In short, a mess.  So instead, we add a new type
slot tp_is_gc, which is a simple Boolean function that determines
whether a particular instance has GC headers or not.  This slot is
only relevant for types that have the (new) GC flag bit set.  If the
tp_is_gc slot is NULL (by far the most common case), all instances of
the type are deemed to have GC headers.  This slot is called by the
PyObject_IS_GC() macro (which is only used twice, both times in
gcmodule.c).

I also changed the extern declarations for a bunch of GC-related
functions (_PyObject_GC_Del etc.): these always exist but objimpl.h
only declared them when WITH_CYCLE_GC was defined, but I needed to be
able to reference them without #ifdefs.  (When WITH_CYCLE_GC is not
defined, they do the same as their non-GC counterparts anyway.)

Tim Peters 092a7a80fd SF patch [#466353] Py_HUGE_VAL on BeOS for Intel.
The patch repaired internal gcc compiler errors on BeOS.
This checkin repairs them in a simpler way, by explicitly casting the
platform INFINITY to double.

Guido van Rossum 32d34c809f Add optional docstrings to getset descriptors. Fortunately, there's
no backwards compatibility to worry about, so I just pushed the
'closure' struct member to the back -- it's never used in the current
code base (I may eliminate it, but that's more work because the getter
and setter signatures would have to change.)

As examples, I added actual docstrings to the getset attributes of a
few types: file.closed, xxsubtype.spamdict.state.
2001-09-20 21:45:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6f7993765a Add optional docstrings to member descriptors. For backwards
compatibility, this required all places where an array of "struct
memberlist" structures was declared that is referenced from a type's
tp_members slot to change the type of the structure to PyMemberDef;
"struct memberlist" is now only used by old code that still calls
PyMember_Get/Set.  The code in PyObject_GenericGetAttr/SetAttr now
calls the new APIs PyMember_GetOne/SetOne, which take a PyMemberDef
argument.

As examples, I added actual docstrings to the attributes of a few
types: file, complex, instance method, super, and xxsubtype.spamlist.

Also converted the symtable to new style getattr.

Marc-André Lemburg 5e6007c5db Fix for bug #462737. 2001-09-19 11:21:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ab3b0343b8 Hopefully fix 3-way comparisons. This unfortunately adds yet another
hack, and it's even more disgusting than a PyInstance_Check() call.
If the tp_compare slot is the slot used for overrides in Python,
it's always called.

Add some tests that show what should work too.
2001-09-18 20:38:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c299fc16f2 Add support for restricting access based on restricted execution mode.
Renamed the 'readonly' field to 'flags' and defined some new flag
bits: READ_RESTRICTED and WRITE_RESTRICTED, as well as a shortcut
RESTRICTED that means both.

Tim Peters 59c9a645e2 SF bug [#460467] file objects should be subclassable.
Preliminary support.  What's here works, but needs fine-tuning.
2001-09-13 05:38:56 +00:00
Tim Peters 2400fa4ad1 Again perhaps the end of [#460020] bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
Inhibited complex unary plus optimization when applied to a complex subtype.
Added PyComplex_CheckExact macro.  Some comments and minor code fiddling.
2001-09-12 19:12:49 +00:00
Tim Peters 78e0fc74bc Possibly the end of SF [#460020] bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
Changed unicode(i) to return a true Unicode object when i is an instance of
a unicode subclass.  Added PyUnicode_CheckExact macro.

Tim Peters 5a49ade70e More on SF bug [#460020] bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
Repaired str(i) to return a genuine string when i is an instance of a str
subclass.  New PyString_CheckExact() macro.
2001-09-11 01:41:59 +00:00
Tim Peters 4c3a0a35cd More on SF bug [#460020] bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
tuple(i) repaired to return a true tuple when i is an instance of a
tuple subclass.
Added PyTuple_CheckExact macro.
PySequence_Tuple():  if a tuple-like object isn't exactly a tuple, it's
not safe to return the object as-is -- make a new tuple of it instead.

Tim Peters 7a50f2536e More for SF bug [#460020] bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses
Repair float constructor to return a true float when passed a subclass

2001-09-10 21:28:20 +00:00
Tim Peters 64b5ce3a69 SF bug #460020: bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
Given an immutable type M, and an instance I of a subclass of M, the
constructor call M(I) was just returning I as-is; but it should return a
new instance of M.  This fixes it for M in {int, long}.  Strings, floats
and tuples remain to be done.
Added new macros PyInt_CheckExact and PyLong_CheckExact, to more easily
distinguish between "is" and "is a" (i.e., only an int passes
PyInt_CheckExact, while any sublass of int passes PyInt_Check).
Added private API function _PyLong_Copy.

Guido van Rossum b875509310 PyModule_Check() now checks for subtype of module, as it should. 2001-09-10 18:21:59 +00:00
Tim Peters 16a77adfbd Generalize operator.indexOf (PySequence_Index) to work with any
iterable object.  I'm not sure how that got overlooked before!

Got rid of the internal _PySequence_IterContains, introduced a new
internal _PySequence_IterSearch, and rewrote all the iteration-based
"count of", "index of", and "is the object in it or not?" routines to
just call the new function.  I suppose it's slower this way, but the
code duplication was getting depressing.

Guido van Rossum 8bce4acb17 Rename 'getset' to 'property'. 2001-09-06 21:56:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b479dc561c Add PyMethod_Function(), PyMethod_Self(), PyMethod_Class() back.
While not even documented, they were clearly part of the C API,
there's no great difficulty to support them, and it has the cool
effect of not requiring any changes to ExtensionClass.c.
2001-09-05 22:52:50 +00:00
Tim Peters a40c793d06 Rework the way we try to check for libm overflow, given that C99 no longer
requires that errno ever get set, and it looks like glibc is already
playing that game.  New rules:

+ Never use HUGE_VAL.  Use the new Py_HUGE_VAL instead.

+ Never believe errno.  If overflow is the only thing you're interested in,
  use the new Py_OVERFLOWED(x) macro.  If you're interested in any libm
  errors, use the new Py_SET_ERANGE_IF_OVERFLOW(x) macro, which attempts
  to set errno the way C89 said it worked.

Unfortunately, none of these are reliable, but they work on Windows and I
*expect* under glibc too.

Tim Peters d893fd68bd Repair indentation. 2001-09-05 06:24:24 +00:00
Tim Peters 57f282a2a0 Try to recover from that glibc's ldexp apparently doesn't set errno on
overflow.  Needs testing on Linux (test_long.py and test_long_future.py
especially).
2001-09-05 05:38:10 +00:00
Tim Peters 7eea37e831 At Guido's suggestion, here's a new C API function, PyObject_Dir(), like
__builtin__.dir().  Moved the guts from bltinmodule.c to object.c.
2001-09-04 22:08:56 +00:00
Tim Peters a1c1b0f468 Introduce new private API function _PyLong_AsScaledDouble. Not used yet,
but will be the foundation for Good Things:
+ Speed PyLong_AsDouble.
+ Give PyLong_AsDouble the ability to detect overflow.
+ Make true division of long/long nearly as accurate as possible (no
  spurious infinities or NaNs).
+ Return non-insane results from math.log and math.log10 when passing a
  long that can't be approximated by a double better than HUGE_VAL.

Neil Schemenauer 49417e76d5 Fix the names of _PyObject_GC_TRACK and _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK when the GC is

Jack Jansen fabd00fa91 Added glue routine for PyMac_BuildFSSpec, PyMac_GetFSRef and PyMac_BuildFSRef.
Moved the declarations to pymactoolbox.h.
2001-09-01 23:39:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 393661d15f Add warning mode for classic division, almost exactly as specified in
PEP 238.  Changes:

- add a new flag variable Py_DivisionWarningFlag, declared in
  pydebug.h, defined in object.c, set in main.c, and used in
  {int,long,float,complex}object.c.  When this flag is set, the
  classic division operator issues a DeprecationWarning message.

- add a new API PyRun_SimpleStringFlags() to match
  PyRun_SimpleString().  The main() function calls this so that
  commands run with -c can also benefit from -Dnew.

- While I was at it, I changed the usage message in main() somewhat:
  alphabetized the options, split it in *four* parts to fit in under
  512 bytes (not that I still believe this is necessary -- doc strings
  elsewhere are much longer), and perhaps most visibly, don't display
  the full list of options on each command line error.  Instead, the
  full list is only displayed when -h is used, and otherwise a brief
  reminder of -h is displayed.  When -h is used, write to stdout so
  that you can do `python -h | more'.

Notes:

- I don't want to use the -W option to control whether the classic
  division warning is issued or not, because the machinery to decide
  whether to display the warning or not is very expensive (it involves
  calling into the warnings.py module).  You can use -Werror to turn
  the warnings into exceptions though.

- The -Dnew option doesn't select future division for all of the
  program -- only for the __main__ module.  I don't know if I'll ever
  change this -- it would require changes to the .pyc file magic
  number to do it right, and a more global notion of compiler flags.

- You can usefully combine -Dwarn and -Dnew: this gives the __main__
  module new division, and warns about classic division everywhere
  else.

Guido van Rossum 5eef77a21b Make the Py<type>_Check() macro use PyObject_TypeCheck(). 2001-08-30 03:08:07 +00:00
Neil Schemenauer 74b5ade6b8 Change the GC type flag since the API has changed. Allow types using
the old flag to still compile.  Remove the PyType_BASICSIZE and
PyType_SET_BASICSIZE macros.  Add PyObject_GC_New, PyObject_GC_NewVar,
PyObject_GC_Resize, PyObject_GC_Del, PyObject_GC_Track,
PyObject_GC_UnTrack.  Part of SF patch #421893.
2001-08-29 23:49:28 +00:00

Tim Peters 79248aa1e4 SF bug [#456252] Python should never stomp on [u]intptr_t.
pyport.h:  typedef a new Py_intptr_t type.
    DELICATE ASSUMPTION:  That HAVE_UINTPTR_T implies intptr_t is
    available as well as uintptr_t.  If that turns out not to be
    true, things must get uglier (C99 wants both, so I think it's
    an assumption we're *likely* to get away with).
thread_nt.h, PyThread_start_new_thread:  MS _beginthread is documented
    as returning unsigned long; no idea why uintptr_t was being used.
Others:  Always use Py_[u]intptr_t, never [u]intptr_t directly.
2001-08-29 21:37:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c16fcdf533 Make the PyXXX_Check() macros for the numeric types inheritance-aware. 2001-08-29 15:45:32 +00:00
Barry Warsaw dadace004b PyString_FromFormat() and PyString_FromFormatV(): Largely ripped from
PyErr_Format() these new C API methods can be used instead of
    sprintf()'s into hardcoded char* buffers.  This allows us to fix
    many situation where long package, module, or class names get
    truncated in reprs.

    PyString_FromFormat() is the varargs variety.
    PyString_FromFormatV() is the va_list variety

    Original PyErr_Format() code was modified to allow %p and %ld
    expansions.

    Many reprs were converted to this, checkins coming soo.  Not
    changed: complex_repr(), float_repr(), float_print(), float_str(),
    int_repr().  There may be other candidates not yet converted.

    Closes patch #454743.

Tim Peters e2c18e90da ceval, PyEval_MergeCompilerFlags: wasn't merging in the
CO_FUTURE_DIVISION flag.  Redid this to use Jeremy's PyCF_MASK #define
instead, so we dont have to remember to fiddle individual feature names
here again.

pythonrun.h:  Also #define a PyCF_MASK_OBSOLETE mask.  This isn't used
yet, but will be as part of the PEP 264 implementation (compile() mustn't
raise an error just because old code uses a flag name that's become
obsolete; a warning may be appropriate, but not an error; so compile() has
to know about obsolete flags too, but nobody is going to remember to
update compile() with individual obsolete flag names across releases either
-- i.e., this is the flip side of PyEval_MergeCompilerFlags's oversight).
2001-08-17 20:47:47 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 339d0f720e Patch #445762: Support --disable-unicode
- Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled
- check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions
- disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions
- add the types.StringTypes list
- remove Unicode literals from most tests.
2001-08-17 18:39:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 723aa97ef3 - Get rid of obsolete #define PATCHLEVEL.

2001-08-17 14:05:27 +00:00
Fred Drake d55657bdf2 Added comments before recently added/assigned slots in the type object,
so the backward compatibility issues will be easier to understand.  I only
added comments indicating additions and assignments back to Python 2.0.
2001-08-15 18:32:33 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 910d7d46dc Remove much dead code from ceval.c
The descr changes moved the dispatch for calling objects from
call_object() in ceval.c to PyObject_Call() in abstract.c.
call_object() and the many functions it used in ceval.c were no longer
used, but were not removed.

Rename meth_call() as PyCFunction_Call() so that it can be called by
the CALL_FUNCTION opcode in ceval.c.

Also, fix error message that referred to PyEval_EvalCodeEx() by its
old name eval_code2().  (I'll probably refer to it by its old name,
too.)
2001-08-12 21:52:24 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 1abf610b15 Remove st_nested_scopes from struct symtable,
because nested scopes are always enabled.

(Accidentally checked in one small change along this path yesterday,
wreaking havoc in the Windows build.)
2001-08-11 21:51:24 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton fdd12f66bb Refactor future feature handling
Replace individual slots in PyFutureFeatures with a single bitmask
with one field per feature.  The flags for this bitmask are the same
as the flags used in the co_flags slot of a code object.

    XXX This means we waste several bits, because they are used
    for co_flags but have no meaning for future statements.  Don't
    think this is an issue.

Remove the NESTED_SCOPES_DEFAULT define and others.  Not sure what
they were for anyway.

Remove all the PyCF_xxx flags, but define PyCF_MASK in terms of the
CO_xxx flags that are relevant for this release.

Change definition of PyCompilerFlags so that cf_flags matches
co_flags.
2001-08-10 21:38:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 05ac6de2d5 Add PyDict_Merge(a, b, override):
PyDict_Merge(a, b, 1) is the same as PyDict_Update(a, b).
PyDict_Merge(a, b, 0) does something similar but leaves existing items
unchanged.
2001-08-10 20:28:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9b9c972abe Add new flags for PyType_Ready(): READY to explicitly indicate the
type is ready, and READYING to indicate that it is busy with the type.

A recursive call is a fatal error.
2001-08-10 17:37:02 +00:00
Tim Peters 772747b3f1 SF patch #438013 Remove 2-byte Py_UCS2 assumptions
Removed all instances of Py_UCS2 from the codebase, and so also (I hope)
the last remaining reliance on the platform having an integral type
with exactly 16 bits.
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16() and PyUnicode_EncodeUTF16() now read and write
one byte at a time.
2001-08-09 22:21:55 +00:00
Tim Peters 8a267b62cc Remove 6-year old hack to worm around a bug in "NextSpec/Sparc 3.3

Jack Jansen 94bebc0381 Split macglue.c into two: a new mactoolboxglue.c (in ./Python)
with functionality needed for both unix-Python and MacPython and a
new smaller ./Mac/Python/macglue.c which contains MacPython stuff only.

pymactoolbox.h has moved to ./Include from ./Mac/Include and now also
contains the relevant stuff from macglue.h.

The net effect of this is that the ./Mac subdirectory is not needed
anymore for building the unix-Python core on MacOSX (it is needed
for building the extension modules).
2001-08-08 13:17:31 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis f9836ba4fe Put conditional S_ISDIR definition(s) into pyport.h. 2001-08-08 10:28:06 +00:00
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.
2001-08-08 05:00:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 528b7eb0b0 - Rename PyType_InitDict() to PyType_Ready().
- Add an explicit call to PyType_Ready(&PyList_Type) to pythonrun.c
  (just for the heck of it, really -- we should either explicitly
  ready all types, or none).

Marc-André Lemburg cecd9e0af3 va_list is defined in stdarg.h. 2001-07-31 14:23:52 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg e5006ebc9d This patch turns the Python API mismatch notice into a standard
Python warning which can be catched by means of the Python warning
framework.

It also adds two new APIs which hopefully make it easier for Python
to switch to buffer overflow safe [v]snprintf() APIs for error
reporting et al. The two new APIs are PyOS_snprintf() and
PyOS_vsnprintf() and work just like the standard ones in many
C libs. On platforms which have snprintf(), the native APIs are used,
on all other an emulation with snprintf() tries to do its best.
2001-07-31 13:24:44 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 3ce45389bd Add _PyUnicode_AsDefaultEncodedString to unicodeobject.h.
And remove all the extern decls in the middle of .c files.
Apparently, it was excluded from the header file because it is
intended for internal use by the interpreter.  It's still intended for
internal use and documented as such in the header file.

Tim Peters fe2127d3cb Ugly. A pile of new xxxFlags() functions, to communicate to the parser
that 'yield' is a keyword.  This doesn't help test_generators at all!  I
don't know why not.  These things do work now (and didn't before this
patch):

1. "from __future__ import generators" now works in a native shell.

2. Similarly "python -i xxx.py" now has generators enabled in the
   shell if xxx.py had them enabled.

3. This program (which was my doctest proxy) works fine:

from __future__ import generators

source = """\
def f():
    yield 1
"""

exec compile(source, "", "single") in globals()
print type(f())
2001-07-16 05:37:24 +00:00
Tim Peters 5ba5866281 Part way to allowing "from __future__ import generators" to communicate
that info to code dynamically compiled *by* code compiled with generators
enabled.  Doesn't yet work because there's still no way to tell the parser
that "yield" is OK (unlike nested_scopes, the parser has its fingers in
this too).
Replaced PyEval_GetNestedScopes by a more-general
PyEval_MergeCompilerFlags.  Perhaps I should not have?  I doubted it was
*intended* to be part of the public API, so just did.
2001-07-16 02:29:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b09f7ed623 Preliminary support for "from __future__ import generators" to enable
the yield statement.  I figure we have to have this in before I can
release 2.2a1 on Wednesday.

Note: test_generators is currently broken, I'm counting on Tim to fix
this.

Tim Peters 0d5dd68692 Python.h: Don't attempt to redefine NDEBUG if it's already defined.
Others:  Remove redundant includes of assert.h.
2001-07-15 18:38:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b2c075bec4 Define NDEBUG when Py_DEBUG undefined, to disable the assert macro. 2001-07-15 16:58:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aa31429854 Enable nested scopes by default.
Although this is a one-character change, more work needs to be done:
the compiler can get rid of a lot of non-nested-scopes code, the
documentation needs to be updated, the future statement can be
simplified, etc.

But this change enables the nested scope semantics everywhere, and
that's the important part -- we can now test code for compatibility
with nested scopes by default.

Thomas Wouters efafcea280 Re-add 'advanced' xrange features, adding DeprecationWarnings as discussed
on python-dev. The features will still vanish, however, just one release
later.
2001-07-09 12:30:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3f56166b1a Rip out the fancy behaviors of xrange that nobody uses: repeat, slice,
contains, tolist(), and the start/stop/step attributes.  This includes
removing the 4th ('repeat') argument to PyRange_New().
2001-07-05 13:27:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 9e3ad78444 This change adjusts the profiling/tracing support so that the common
path (with no profile/trace function) through eval_code2() and
eval_frame() avoids several checks.

In the common cases of calls, returns, and exception propogation,
eval_code2() and eval_frame() used to test two values in the
thread-state: the profiling function and the tracing function.  With
this change, a flag is set in the thread-state if either of these is
active, allowing a single check to suffice when both are NULL.  This
also simplifies the code needed when either function is in use but is
already active (to avoid profiling/tracing the profiler/tracer); the
flag is set to 0 when the profile/trace code is entered, allowing the
same check to suffice for "already in the tracer" for call/return/
exception events.

Fredrik Lundh 72b068566a removed "register const" from scalar arguments to the unicode
predicates
2001-06-27 22:08:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 55fb6e0371 Revise the interface to the profiling and tracing support for the
Python interpreter.

This change adds two new C-level APIs:  PyEval_SetProfile() and
PyEval_SetTrace().  These can be used to install profile and trace
functions implemented in C, which can operate at much higher speeds
than Python-based functions.  The overhead for calling a C-based
profile function is a very small fraction of a percent of the overhead
involved in calling a Python-based function.

The machinery required to call a Python-based profile or trace
function been moved to sysmodule.c, where sys.setprofile() and
sys.setprofile() simply become users of the new interface.

Martin v. Löwis 0ba70cc3c8 Support using UCS-4 as the Py_UNICODE type:
Add configure option --enable-unicode.
Add config.h macros Py_USING_UNICODE, PY_UNICODE_TYPE, Py_UNICODE_SIZE,
                    SIZEOF_WCHAR_T.
Define Py_UCS2.
Encode and decode large UTF-8 characters into single Py_UNICODE values
for wide Unicode types; likewise for UTF-16.
Remove test whether sizeof Py_UNICODE is two.
2001-06-26 22:22:37 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 1294ad0c59 experimental UCS-4 support: added USE_UCS4_STORAGE define to
unicodeobject.h, which forces sizeof(Py_UNICODE) == sizeof(Py_UCS4).
(this may be good enough for platforms that doesn't have a 16-bit
type.  the UTF-16 codecs don't work, though)

Tim Peters 8c96369513 PyFrameObject: rename f_stackbottom to f_stacktop, since it points to
the next free valuestack slot, not to the base (in America, stacks push
and pop at the top -- they mutate at the bottom in Australia <winK>).
eval_frame():  assert that f_stacktop isn't NULL upon entry.
frame_delloc():  avoid ordered pointer comparisons involving f_stacktop
when f_stacktop is NULL.
2001-06-23 05:26:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 14e1871607 Somehow, under certain circumstances, config.h and rename1.h would pop back up.
Try to see if 'cvs delete' fixes this.

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.
2001-06-18 22:08:13 +00:00
Tim Peters a7259597f1 SF bug 433228: repr(list) woes when len(list) big.
Gave Python linear-time repr() implementations for dicts, lists, strings.
This means, e.g., that repr(range(50000)) is no longer 50x slower than
pprint.pprint() in 2.2 <wink>.

I don't consider this a bugfix candidate, as it's a performance boost.

Added _PyString_Join() to the internal string API.  If we want that in the
public API, fine, but then it requires runtime error checks instead of
asserts.
2001-06-16 05:11:17 +00:00
Tim Peters 2a9b367385 Two new private longobject API functions,
_PyLong_FromByteArray
    _PyLong_AsByteArray
Untested and probably buggy -- they compile OK, but nothing calls them
yet.  Will soon be called by the struct module, to implement x-platform
'q' and 'Q'.
If other people have uses for them, we could move them into the public API.
See longobject.h for usage details.
2001-06-11 21:23:58 +00:00

Marc-André Lemburg 489b56e044 This patch changes the behaviour of the UTF-16 codec family. Only the
UTF-16 codec will now interpret and remove a *leading* BOM mark. Sub-
sequent BOM characters are no longer interpreted and removed.
UTF-16-LE and -BE pass through all BOM mark characters.

These changes should get the UTF-16 codec more in line with what
the Unicode FAQ recommends w/r to BOM marks.
2001-05-21 20:30:15 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 2d9204199f This patch changes the way the string .encode() method works slightly
and introduces a new method .decode().

The major change is that strg.encode() will no longer try to convert
Unicode returns from the codec into a string, but instead pass along
the Unicode object as-is. The same is now true for all other codec
return types. The underlying C APIs were changed accordingly.

Note that even though this does have the potential of breaking
existing code, the chances are low since conversion from Unicode
previously took place using the default encoding which is normally
set to ASCII rendering this auto-conversion mechanism useless for
most Unicode encodings.

The good news is that you can now use .encode() and .decode() with
much greater ease and that the door was opened for better accessibility
of the builtin codecs.

As demonstration of the new feature, the patch includes a few new
codecs which allow string to string encoding and decoding (rot13,
hex, zip, uu, base64).
