a test run.

Tim Peters 919a3b40f9 SF bug 1071087: os.walk example for deleting a full tree is sometime wrong.
Clarify that the example assumes no links are present; the point of the
example is to illustrate a need for topdown=False, not to wrestle with
platform-dependent link convolutions.

Also spell os.path.join() out in full, instead of using a shortcut import.
The bug reporter was confused by that too, and it's clearer this way.

Bugfix candidate; but I don't intend to backport it.

Armin Rigo 80adba6873 Mistakes in the "sequence types" page:
* explanation for example with lists of lists made confusing use of
  the word "contains" to mean "is built out of".

* wrong formula for slices with step.  Is it ok to use LaTeX formulas
  (which become images in the html document)?  This version needs one
  because it's based on a fraction.  Just writing "\code{(j-i)/k}" here would
  be ambiguous because it looks like a rounding-down-to-the-previous-integer
  division, which is not what we need here.  Of course we could write
  "\code{float(j-i)/k}" but it just looks confusing.

Johannes Gijsbers 9fc9789a0d Document that on Unix, the 'cmd' argument to the os.popen2/3/4 and
popen2.popen2/3/4 functions can be a sequence. All texts are a variation on the
following:

On \UNIX, \var{cmd} may be a sequence, in which case arguments will be passed
directly to the program without shell intervention (as with
\function{os.spawnv()}). If \var{cmd} is a string it will be passed to the shell
(as with \function{os.system()}).

Barry Warsaw bb11386730 Big email 3.0 API changes, with updated unit tests and documentation.
Briefly (from the NEWS file):

- Updates for the email package:
  + All deprecated APIs that in email 2.x issued warnings have been removed:
    _encoder argument to the MIMEText constructor, Message.add_payload(),
    Utils.dump_address_pair(), Utils.decode(), Utils.encode()
  + New deprecations: Generator.__call__(), Message.get_type(),
    Message.get_main_type(), Message.get_subtype(), the 'strict' argument to
    the Parser constructor.  These will be removed in email 3.1.
  + Support for Python earlier than 2.3 has been removed (see PEP 291).
  + All defect classes have been renamed to end in 'Defect'.
  + Some FeedParser fixes; also a MultipartInvariantViolationDefect will be
    added to messages that claim to be multipart but really aren't.
  + Updates to documentation.

Edward Loper 7d88a58e85 Reverted the addition of a NORMALIZE_NUMBERS option, per Tim Peter's
request.  Tim says that "correct 'fuzzy' comparison of floats cannot
be automated."  (The motivation behind adding the new option
was verifying interactive examples in Python's latex documentation;
several such examples use numbers that don't print consistently on
different platforms.)
2004-09-28 05:50:57 +00:00
Edward Loper aec3c9b54f Added a new NORMALIZE_NUMBERS option, which causes number literals in
the expected output to match corresponding number literals in the

Tim Peters 2dc820599b Since the doctest warnings section was reduced to one bullet point,
get rid of the itemize structure.
2004-09-25 01:30:16 +00:00
Tim Peters 39c5de0376 In the "doctest warnings" section, removed obsolete info, and noted that
ELLIPSIS can be used to deal with examples that embed object addresses.
2004-09-25 01:22:29 +00:00
Tim Peters 06cc847cee Beef up the section on testfile(), giving a complete example in
reStructuredText format.  Remove words describing the return value of
testmod() and testfile() in the intro sections, since it's never
useful in such simple cases.

Vinay Sajip 739d49e39b Added log() function documentation 2004-09-24 11:46:44 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 596ba4d89e Granted Noam Raphael's request for minor improvements to the re module and
its documentation.

* Documented that the compiled re methods are supposed to be more full
  featured than their simpilified function counterparts.

* Documented the existing start and stop position arguments for the
  findall() and finditer() methods of compiled regular expression objects.

* Added an optional flags argument to the re.findall() and re.finditer()
  functions.  This aligns their API with that for re.search() and
  re.match().

Edward Loper b3666a3da2 - Updated docs to reflect changes in 2.4.
- Reorganized the documentation
  - Shifted focus a little more towards "literate testing"
  - Documented new functions and classes:
    - testfile()
    - Example, DocTest
    - DocTestParser, DocTestFinder, DocTestRunner, OutputChecker
    - DocFileSuite
    - DebugRunner, DocTestFailure, UnexpectedException

2004-09-21 03:00:51 +00:00
Edward Loper 6cc1350807 - Updated example output to match actual output
- Minor wording changes
- Changed the docs to reflect the fact that multiple option directives
  can be specified on a single line (and updated the directive
  production list, as well).

Raymond Hettinger 23f1241dc6 SF #1027105: HardwareRandom should be renamed OSRandom
Renamed the new generator at Trevor's recommendation.

Walter Dörwald 69652035bc SF patch #998993: The UTF-8 and the UTF-16 stateful decoders now support
decoding incomplete input (when the input stream is temporarily exhausted).
codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper
readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read()
has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to
return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines()
have a new argument keepends. Trailing "\n"s will be stripped from the lines
if keepends is false. Added C APIs PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful and
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16Stateful.

Tim Peters 1fbf9c5ec1 Added IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL comparison option. The need is explained
in the new docs.

DocTestRunner.__run:  Separate the determination of the example outcome
from reporting that outcome, to squash brittle code duplication and
excessive nesting.

Skip Montanaro 0bbf137fbd Make the api of the _dispatch() method more concrete. I have no idea if
this is the right way to document such things (Fred, help me out here :-),
but I got misled by the existing documentation and assumed the parameter
list was a *args sort of thing.

Tim Peters 38330fe5ef The distinction between comparison flags and reporting flags isn't unique
to unittest, so make it official:  new module constants COMPARISON_FLAGS
and REPORTING_FLAGS, which are bitmasks or'ing together the relevant
individual option flags.

set_unittest_reportflags():  Reworked to use REPORTING_FLAGS, and
simplified overly complicated flag logic.

class FakeModule:  Removed this; neither documented nor used.

Raymond Hettinger 356a4599ac Teach the random module about os.urandom().
* Use it for seeding when it is available.
* Provide an alternate generator based on it.

Tim Peters a07bcd46f3 Reorg of exception section. Now that there are fewer details needing
explanation, it's easier to push the remaining insufferably anal details
into a "fine print" section at the bottom.

Raymond Hettinger f4fd79ca49 Small wording fixups. 2004-08-26 03:11:56 +00:00
Edward Loper a89f88d53f Added REPORT_ONLY_FIRST_FAILURE flag, which supresses output after the
first failing example in each test.
2004-08-26 02:45:51 +00:00
Edward Loper 71f55af826 Renamed UNIFIED_DIFF->REPORT_UDIFF; CONTEXT_DIFF->REPORT_CDIFF; and
NDIFF_DIFF->REPORT_NDIFF.  This establishes the naming convention that
all reporting options should begin with "REPORT_" (since reporting
options are a different class from output comparison options; but they
are both set in optionflags).

Dave Cole 3203efb55f Patch #1014930. Expose current parse location to XMLParser. 2004-08-26 00:37:31 +00:00
Edward Loper 19b1958730 Only recognize the expected output as an exception if it *starts* with
a traceback message.  I.e., examples that raise exceptions may no
longer generate pre-exception output.  This restores the behavior of
doctest in python 2.3.  The ability to check pre-exception output is
being removed because it makes the documentation simpler; and because
there are very few use cases for it.

Barry Warsaw 08b07def43 Ah whoops, we didn't turn string into a package (thanks Neal!) 2004-08-25 03:09:58 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 8bee76106e PEP 292 classes Template and SafeTemplate are added to the string module.
This patch includes test cases and documentation updates, as well as NEWS file
updates.

This patch also updates the sre modules so that they don't import the string
module, breaking direct circular imports.
2004-08-25 02:22:30 +00:00
Tim Peters c885443479 Stop producing or using OverflowWarning. PEP 237 thought this would
happen in 2.3, but nobody noticed it still was getting generated (the
warning was disabled by default).  OverflowWarning and
PyExc_OverflowWarning should be removed for 2.5, and left notes all over
saying so.

Tim Peters 656f7e4b40 Removed redundant versionadded{} for NDIFF_DIFF. Virtually everything
in this section is new in 2.4, and that's all mentioned already in
