Andrew MacIntyre f72af655c5 At 2.2, the Py<type>_Check() family of API functions (macros) changed 
semantics to include subtypes.  Most concrete object APIs then had
a Py<type>_CheckExact() macro added to test for an object's type
not including subtypes.

The PyDict_CheckExact() macro wasn't created at that time, so I've added
it for API completeness/symmetry - even though nobody has complained
about its absence in the time since 2.2 was released.

Not a backport candidate.
 2003-12-26 00:07:51 +00:00
Andrew MacIntyre 13cd8898d2 The semantics of PyList_Check() and PyDict_Check() changed at 2.2, along 
with most other concrete object checks, but the docs weren't brought into
line.

PyList_CheckExact() was added at 2.2 but never documented.

backport candidate.

Jeremy Hylton c1be59f40a SF patch 852995: add processors feature to urllib2 
John J. Lee writes: "the patch makes it possible to implement
functionality like HTTP cookie handling, Refresh handling,
etc. etc. using handler objects. At the moment urllib2's handler
objects aren't quite up to the job, which results in a lot of
cut-n-paste and subclassing. I believe the changes are
backwards-compatible, with the exception of people who've
reimplemented build_opener()'s functionality -- those people would
need to call opener.add_handler(HTTPErrorProcessor).

The main change is allowing handlers to implement
methods like:

http_request(request)
http_response(request, response)

In addition to the usual

http_open(request)
http_error{_*}(...)
"

Note that the change isn't well documented at least in part because
handlers aren't well documented at all.  Need to fix this.

Add a bunch of new tests.  It appears that none of these tests
actually use the network, so they don't need to be guarded by a
resource flag.

* add some excitement by suggesting the range of possibilities.

Raymond Hettinger a4ce2f5116 SF bug #855317: unittest: 5.3.9 Getting Extended Error Information

Since the docs were already complex and the feature was not used
(it took two years for the errors to surface), we decided to dedocument
it entirely, leaving unittest cleaner than before.

Guido van Rossum 6c9e130524 - Removed FutureWarnings related to hex/oct literals and conversions 
and left shifts.  (Thanks to Kalle Svensson for SF patch 849227.)
  This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by
  PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing
  'L'.  The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that
  changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not
  implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to
  hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.

Raymond Hettinger ad983e79d6 Improve the implementation of itertools.tee(). 
Formerly, underlying queue was implemented in terms of two lists.  The

The new implementation runs much faster, supports multi-way tees, and
allows tees of tees without additional memory costs.

The root ideas for this structure were contributed by Andrew Koenig
and Guido van Rossum.

Skip Montanaro dffeed3ffa Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnames 
is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames.  In the common case,
this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time.
The first row of the file will be used.  In the uncommon case, this means
the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time
and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can
contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.

Raymond Hettinger 43b5e40795 * Fix markup. 
* Fix entry order:
  -  >>> before ...
  - __slots__ in the S section (like __future__ is in the F section)

Need to test the repaired(?) link to Guido's webpage.

Still needs to have the module reference links made relative to
the module directory instead of the tut directory.  That will
require Fred's magic touch.
