This is a patch that Bill Bummgarner did for 1.4 that hasn't made its
way into the distribution yet. This is important if you want to use
the ObjC module.
shell buffers.
(py-shell): Moved the require of comint to the top level. Also
use-local-map py-shell-map instead of hacking on the comint-mode-map.
This eliminates breakage of other comint-mode buffers (e.g. shell).
interactions with newer Emacsen, I've rewritten the way all the
process filters work in the *Python* buffer. We use more of the
comint infrastructure, specifically the default process filter. This
means that scrolling is now handled by the default comint variables
including comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output. Note that this is
somewhat experimental change!
(py-comint-output-filter-function): Moved to here from the obsolete
py-process-filter function, the logic to pop and exec the next queued
file waiting to be executed.
(py-execute-file): Don't bind comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output to t,
and save the excursion when inserting the "working on" message. This
lets the standard comint scrolling variables as set by the user,
continue to work.
(python-mode, py-shell, py-describe-mode): Remove description of
py-scroll-process-buffer. Also in py-shell, make
comint-output-filter-functions buffer-local, and add
py-comint-output-filter-function to this hook (instead of setting the
process filter).
(py-scroll-process-buffer): Deleted this variable. See comint
variables including comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output.
(py-execute-region): When exec files are being queued, push the next
temp file on the end of the list.
(py-submit-bug-report): Removed reporting of py-scroll-process-buffer.
takes too long. This example relies on the fact that raising an
exception in a signal handler causes the exception to be re-raised
when the main line of the program resumes execution. Is this guaranteed
in CPython, or is this something that just happens to work by accident?
Also fixed a typo.
I had to make a slight diddle to work with Python 1.4, which
we and some of our customers are still using. :(
I've also made a few minor enhancements:
- You can now both get and set the memo using a 'memo'
attribute. This is handy for certain advanced applications
that we have.
- Added a 'binary' attribute to get and set the binary
mode for a pickler.
- Added a somewhat experimental 'fast' attribute. When this
is set, objects are not placed in the memo during pickling.
This should lead to faster pickling and smaller pickles in
cases where:
o you *know* there are no circular references, and
o either you've:
- preloaded the memo with class information
by pickling classes in non-fast mode or by
manipilating the memo directly, or
- aren't pickling instances.
instead of a list, turn it into a list containing that string. This
avoids an apparently common newbie mistake -- passing in a single
string for the destination and have it treated as a sequence of
characters.
Previously, this said "unsubscriptable object"; in 1.5.1, the reverse
problem existed, where None[''] would complain about a non-integer
index. This fix does the right thing in all cases (for get, set and
del item).
