Gregory P. Smith 19b4411181 Major improvements: 
* Default to using /dev/tty for the password prompt and input before
  falling back to sys.stdin and sys.stderr.
* Use sys.stderr instead of sys.stdout.
* print the 'password may be echoed' warning to stream used to display
  the prompt rather than always sys.stderr.
* warn() with GetPassWarning when input may be echoed.

0**nan is nan, not 0.  (But nan**0 and 1**nan are 1.)

Also fix minor typo: 'quite NaN' -> 'quiet NaN'

Christian Heimes e74c8f2879 Added kill, terminate and send_signal to subprocess.Popen 
The bits and pieces for the Windows side were already in place. The POSIX side is trivial (as usual) and uses os.kill().
 2008-04-19 02:23:57 +00:00
Christian Heimes 6f34109384 I finally got the time to update and merge Mark's and my trunk-math branch. The patch is collaborated work of Mark Dickinson and me. It was mostly done a few months ago. The patch fixes a lot of loose ends and edge cases related to operations with NaN, INF, very small values and complex math. 
The patch also adds acosh, asinh, atanh, log1p and copysign to all platforms. Finally it fixes differences between platforms like different results or exceptions for edge cases. Have fun :)

Benjamin Peterson 7bb4d2d0fa Backported io module docs 2008-04-13 02:01:27 +00:00
Brett Cannon e974689038 Re-implement the 'warnings' module in C. This allows for usage of the 
'warnings' code in places where it was previously not possible (e.g., the
parser). It could also potentially lead to a speed-up in interpreter start-up
if the C version of the code (_warnings) is imported over the use of the
Python version in key places.

Closes issue #1631171.

Georg Brandl 8189310a7f #2615: small consistency update by Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven. 2008-04-12 18:36:09 +00:00
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc 7adc776ea6 Issue 2408: remove the _types module 
It was only used as a helper in types.py to access types (GetSetDescriptorType and MemberDescriptorType),
when they can easily be obtained with python code.
These expressions even work with Jython.

I don't know what the future of the types module is; (cf. discussion in http://bugs.python.org/issue1605 )
at least this change makes it simpler.

Sean Reifscheider 45ea86c124 Issue 2188: Documentation hint about disabling proxy detection. 2008-03-20 03:20:48 +00:00
Gregory P. Smith a5cfcad0e3 Prevent ioctl op codes from being sign extended from int to unsigned long 
when used on platforms that actually define ioctl as taking an unsigned long.
(the BSDs and OS X / Darwin)

Adds a unittest for fcntl.ioctl that tests what happens with both positive and
negative numbers.

This was done because of issue1471 but I'm not able to reproduce -that- problem
in the first place on Linux 32bit or 64bit or OS X 10.4 & 10.5 32bit or 64 bit.

Steven Bethard 6f778cfb5b Document unicode.isnumeric() and unicode.isdecimal() (issue2326) 2008-03-17 19:33:11 +00:00
Gregory P. Smith f48f9d38c0 Force zlib.crc32 and zlib.adler32 to return a signed integer on all platforms 
regardless of the native sizeof(long) used in the integer object.

This somewhat odd behavior of returning a signed is maintained in 2.x for
compatibility reasons of always returning an integer rather than a long object.

Fixes Issue1202 for Python 2.6

Jeffrey Yasskin d7b00334f3 Add rational.Rational as an implementation of numbers.Rational with infinite 
precision. This has been discussed at http://bugs.python.org/issue1682. It's
useful primarily for teaching, but it also demonstrates how to implement a
member of the numeric tower, including fallbacks for mixed-mode arithmetic.

I expect to write a couple more patches in this area:
 * Rational.from_decimal()
 * Rational.trim/approximate() (maybe with different names)
 * Maybe remove the parentheses from Rational.__str__()
 * Maybe rename one of the Rational classes
 * Maybe make Rational('3/2') work.

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc d08a8ebf2a Closing issue1761. 
Surprising behaviour of the "$" regexp: it matches the
end of the string, AND just before the newline at the end
of the string::

    re.sub('$', '#', 'foo\n') == 'foo#\n#'

Python is consistent with Perl and the pcre library, so
we just document it.
Guido prefers "\Z" to match only the end of the string.

Jeffrey Yasskin 9871d8fe22 Continue rolling back pep-3141 changes that changed behavior from 2.5. This 
round included:
 * Revert round to its 2.6 behavior (half away from 0).
 * Because round, floor, and ceil always return float again, it's no
   longer necessary to have them delegate to __xxx___, so I've ripped
   that out of their implementations and the Real ABC. This also helps
   in implementing types that work in both 2.6 and 3.0: you return int
   from the __xxx__ methods, and let it get enabled by the version
   upgrade.
 * Make pow(-1, .5) raise a ValueError again.

* Add note to _cast() about length checking and alternative with the star-operator.
