Lots of new text and example code on embedding Python in C, contributed
...
by Albert Hofkamp. Some editing has been done for style and markup
consistency.
This also supplies an example of importing modules and calling a function
defined in the module, so this closes SF bug #440037 as well.
(The long example code was moved to a separate file so that it would
format properly.)

Make the syntax of compound command lines more portable (nmake, CygWin).

Script to re-write @FOO@-style marks with values, initializing the

replacement for @DATE@ from a TeX file containing a \date{...} mark
(such as texinputs/boilerplate.tex).
This will be used to re-write the html/index.html.in file instead of
a combination of grep, date, and sed -- this is more portable to non-Unix
platforms.
This solves part of the problem reported in SF patch #429611 , but does
not use the suggested patch.

not being initialized.
This fixes SF bug #439012 .
Added explicit return value information for PyList_SetItem(),
PyDict_SetItem(), and PyDict_SetItemString(). Corrected return type
for PyList_SET_ITEM().

Document _Py_NoneStruct.
Added links to the Extending & Embedding manual for PyArg_ParseTuple()
and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords().
Added note that PyArg_Parse() should not be used in new code.

translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

information about them, based on comments from Jack Jansen.
2001-07-10 14:19:45 +00:00
67f193faab
Add a little bit more about the XML migration plan. This still needs a lot
...
of work, but mostly it needs time spent doing the work to make the
generated XML useful.

432cef0d0b
Add new material on some markup that will be checked in shortly. This
...
includes some minor new inline markup and markup to generate hyperlinked
grammar productions.
Adopt a "style guide" document -- this beats writing our own and means
we'll have a chance at consistency, without having to make it all up
ourselves.
2001-07-06 22:34:33 +00:00

Allow optional arguments to LaTeX macros to span lines. This is legal in

LaTeX and we have at least one occurance of that in the content, so this
script needs to support it as well.

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().

4efb6e9643
Turns out Neil didn't intend for *all* of his gen-branch work to get
...
committed.
tokenize.py: I like these changes, and have tested them extensively
without even realizing it, so I just updated the docstring and the docs.
tabnanny.py: Also liked this, but did a little code fiddling. I should
really rewrite this to *exploit* generators, but that's near the bottom
of my effort/benefit scale so doubt I'll get to it anytime soon (it
would be most useful as a non-trivial example of ideal use of generators;
but test_generators.py has already grown plenty of food-for-thought
examples).
inspect.py: I'm sure Ping intended for this to continue running even
under 1.5.2, so I reverted this to the last pre-gen-branch version. The
"bugfix" I checked in in-between was actually repairing a bug *introduced*
by the conversion to generators, so it's OK that the reverted version
doesn't reflect that checkin.
2001-06-29 23:51:08 +00:00
88e66254f9
Use the more conventional "self" as the name of the self parameter in an

2001-06-20 21:29:30 +00:00
c65218e1fd

2001-06-16 08:14:04 +00:00
57e52ef076
Implement the \verbatiminput LaTeX macro; this contains more magic than

it should, but only enough that LaTeX2HTML doesn't bite us.

This fixes SF bug #432208 .
2001-06-12 03:31:56 +00:00
7a3bfc3a47
Added q/Q standard (x-platform 8-byte ints) mode in struct module.
...
This completes the q/Q project.
longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray: The original code had a gross bug:
the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT
significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign
bit it has else spurious overflow errors result.
test_struct.py: This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both
sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative.
NEWS: Added brief dict news while I was at it.
2001-06-12 01:22:22 +00:00
0b9bc20e66
Add the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family of
...
functions -- these are not available on traditional Mac OS platforms.
Corrected the version annotations for the spawn*() functions and related
constants; these were added in Python 1.6, not 1.5.2.
2001-06-11 18:25:34 +00:00
046f4d810d
Fixed parameter order for os.popen2(), os.popen3(), and os.popen(4). Added

a reference to these functions and popen() from the "Process Management"

2001-06-11 14:55:01 +00:00
7b9542a3f7
Initial support for 'q' and 'Q' struct format codes: for now, only in
...
native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG. Standard mode
will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that
likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while
sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely
on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own;
I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long
to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP
conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8).
test_struct.py: In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests,
got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about
native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes).
libstruct.tex: In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed
later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior.

Text from Tim & Guido discussing floating point arithmetic and what users

Users of PySequence_GET_FAST() should get the length of the sequence using

PySequence_Size(), not PyObject_Size(): the later considers the mapping
methods as well as the sequence methods, which is not needed here. Either
should be equally fast in this case, but PySequence_Size() offers a better
conceptual match.

Changed all the examples with ugly platform-dependent float output to use

numbers that display nicely after repr(). From much doctest experience
with the same trick, I believe people find examples with simple fractions
easier to understand too: they can usually check the results in their

warm feeling from a result that looks like 70330.345024097141 ...

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).
