depending on the cycle detector code in the library implementation.
This is a *slightly* different patch than SF patch #417795, but takes
the same approach. (This version avoids calling the __len__() method of
the dict in the remove() functions.)
This closes SF patch #417795.
fallback for objects that are neither supported by our dispatch table
nor have a __copy__ or __deepcopy__ method.
Changes to _reduce() in copy_reg.py to support reducing objects that
don't have a __dict__ -- copy.copy(complex()) now invokes _reduce().
Add tests for copy.copy() and copy.deepcopy() to test_regrtest.py.
getting displayed, due to a special case here whose purpose I didn't
understand. So just disabled the doc suppression here.
Another special case here skips the docs when picking apart a method
and finding that the im_func is also in the class __dict__ under
the same name. That one I understood. It has a curious consequence,
though, wrt inherited properties: a static class copies inherited stuff
into the inheriting class's dict, and that affects whether or not this
special case triggers. The upshoot is that pydoc doesn't show the
function docstrings of getter/setter/deleter functions of inherited
properties in the property section when the class is static, but does
when the class is dynamic (bring up Lib/test/pydocfodder.py under
GUI pydoc to see this).
Add raise_exception() to the _testcapi module. It isn't a test, but
the C API exists only to support test_exceptions. raise_exception()
takes two arguments -- an exception class and an integer specifying
how many arguments it should be called with.
test_exceptions uses BadException() to test the interpreter's behavior
when there is a problem instantiating the exception. test_capi1()
calls it with too many arguments. test_capi2() causes an exception to
be raised in the Python code of the constructor.
Also, add a clause to the big-if to handle message/delivery-status
content types. These create a message with subparts that are
Message instances, which best represent the header blocks of this
content type.
get_type(): Use a compiled regular expression, which can be shared.
_get_params_preserve(): A helper method which extracts the header's
parameter list preserving value quoting. I'm not sure that this
needs to be a public method. It's necessary because we want
get_param() and friends to return the unquoted parameter value,
however we want the quote-preserved form for set_boundary().
get_params(), get_param(), set_boundary(): Implement in terms of
_get_params_preserve().
walk(): Yield ourself first, then recurse over our subparts (if any).
Text.py and class Text => MIMEText.py and MIMEText
MessageRFC822.py and class MessageRFC822 => MIMEMessage.py and MIMEMessage
These are renamed so as to be more consistent; these are MIME specific
derived classes for when creating the object model out of whole cloth.
_handle_text(): If the payload is None, then just return (i.e. don't
write anything). Subparts of message/delivery-status types
will have this property since they are just blocks of headers.
Also, when raising the TypeError, include the type of the
payload in the error message.
_handle_multipart(), _handle_message(): When creating a clone of self,
pass in our _mangle_from_ and maxheaderlen flags so the clone
has the same behavior.
_handle_message_delivery_status(): New method to do the proper
printing of message/delivery-status type messages. These have
to be handled differently than other message/* types because
their payloads are subparts containing just blocks of headers.
In class DecodedGenerator:
_dispatch(): Skip over multipart/* messages since we don't care
about them, and don't want the non-text format to appear in
the printed results.
the local save/modify/restore of sys.stdout, but add machinery so that
regrtest can tell test_support the value of sys.stdout at the time
regrtest.main() started, and test_support can pass that out later to anyone
who needs a "visible" stdout.
- Made cls.__module__ writable.
- Ensure that obj.__dict__ is returned as {}, not None, even upon first
reference; it simply springs into life when you ask for it.
(*) The pickling support is provisional for the following reasons:
- It doesn't support classes with __slots__.
- It relies on additional support in copy_reg.py: the C method
__reduce__, defined in the object class, really calls calling
copy_reg._reduce(obj). Eventually the Python code in copy_reg.py
needs to be migrated to C, but I'd like to experiment with the
Python implementation first. The _reduce() code also relies on an
additional helper function, _reconstructor(), defined in
copy_reg.py; this should also be reimplemented in C.
property() (get, set, del; not set, get, del).
+ Change "Data defined/inherited in ..." header lines to
"Data and non-method functions defined/inherited in ...". Things like
the value of __class__, and __new__, and class vrbls like the i in
class C:
i = int
show up in this section too. I don't think it's worth a separate
section to distinguish them from non-callable attrs, and there's no
obvious reliable way to distinguish callable from non-callable attrs
anyway.
than <type 'ClassName'>. Exception: if it's a built-in type or an
extension type, continue to call it <type 'ClassName>. Call me a
wimp, but I don't want to break more user code than necessary.
same. I hope the test for structural equivalence is stringent enough.
It only allows the assignment if the old and new types:
- have the same basic size
- have the same item size
- have the same dict offset
- have the same weaklist offset
- have the same GC flag bit
- have a common base that is the same except for maybe the dict and
weaklist (which may have been added separately at the same offsets
in both types)
always been close to useless, because the <small>-ified docstrings
were too small to read, even after cranking up my default font size
just for pydoc. Now it reads fine under my defaults (as does most
of the web <0.5 wink>). If it's thought important to play tricks
with font size, tough, then someone should rework pydoc to use style
sheets, and (more) predictable percentage-of-default size controls.
+ Tried to ensure that all <dt> and <dd> tags are closed. I've read (but
don't know) that some browsers get confused if they're not, and esp.
when style sheets are in use too.
properties: the docstring (if any) is displayed, and the getter, setter
and deleter (if any) functions are named. All that is shown indented
after the property name.
+ Text-mode pydoc class display now draws a horizontal line between
class attribute groups (similar to GUI mode -- while visually more
intrusive in text mode, it's still an improvement).
- property() now takes 4 keyword arguments: fget, fset, fdel, doc.
Note that the real purpose of the 'f' prefix is to make fdel fit in
('del' is a keyword, so can't used as a keyword argument name).
- These map to visible readonly attributes 'fget', 'fset', 'fdel',
and '__doc__' in the property object.
- fget/fset/fdel weren't discoverable from Python before.
- __doc__ is new, and allows to associate a docstring with a property.
declarations and weird markup that we used to accept & ignore that recent
versions raised an exception for; the original behavior has been restored
and augmented (the user can decide what to do if they care; the default is
to ignore it as done in early versions).
Use a new internal method, error(), consistently to raise parse errors;
the new base class also uses this.
Adjust the parse_comment() method to return the new offset into the buffer
instead of the number of characters scanned; this was the only helper
method that did it this way, so we have better consistency now. Required
to share the new base class.
This fixes SF bug #448482 and #453706.
and HTMLParser modules (and indirectly for the htmllib.HTMLParser class).
This has all the support for scanning over DOCTYPE declarations; it warrants
having a base class since this is a fair amount of tedious code (since it's
fairly strict), and should be in a separate module to avoid compiling many
REs that are not used (which would happen if this were placed in either then
sgmllib or HTMLParser module).
