Barry Warsaw 86fbaf8e67 Merged changes from 22a4 branch. 2001-09-28 15:26:12 +00:00

 2001-09-25 04:15:41 +00:00
Tim Peters 66c1a525e0 Make properties discoverable from Python: 
- 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.

Tim Peters 2c9aa5ea8d Generalize file.writelines() to allow iterable objects. 2001-09-23 04:06:05 +00:00
Tim Peters 8a9c284437 Make difflib.ndiff() and difflib.Differ.compare() generators. This 
restores the 2.1 ability of Tools/scripts/ndiff.py to start producing
output before the entire comparison is complete.

Guido van Rossum d8185ca43e Mention SMTP additions and hmac module. 2001-09-14 16:35:16 +00:00
Tim Peters 59c9a645e2 SF bug [#460467] file objects should be subclassable. 
Preliminary support.  What's here works, but needs fine-tuning.
 2001-09-13 05:38:56 +00:00
Tim Peters 1f47d11ff2 Added items about significant subclass bugfixes. 2001-09-12 23:40:29 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 54328388f7 Another volunteer. 2001-09-10 19:00:21 +00:00
Tim Peters 16a77adfbd Generalize operator.indexOf (PySequence_Index) to work with any 
iterable object.  I'm not sure how that got overlooked before!

Got rid of the internal _PySequence_IterContains, introduced a new
internal _PySequence_IterSearch, and rewrote all the iteration-based
"count of", "index of", and "is the object in it or not?" routines to
just call the new function.  I suppose it's slower this way, but the
code duplication was getting depressing.

Tim Peters b07352e8b7 The usual post-release fiddling. 2001-09-08 01:25:47 +00:00
Barry Warsaw d6c8ca6536 Merging 2.2a3 branch changes back into trunk 2001-09-07 18:13:44 +00:00

Steve Purcell 6091cd61ce Added note of unittest.py changes that fixed bug 451309 2001-09-06 16:05:17 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis cb227c9850 Report patch #416079 changes. 2001-09-06 08:54:16 +00:00
Tim Peters 6e13a562ae Enable large file support on Win32 systems. 
Curious:  the MS docs say stati64 etc are supported even on Win95, but
Win95 doesn't support a filesystem that allows partitions > 2 Gb.

test_largefile:  This was opening its test file in text mode.  I have no
idea how that worked under Win64, but it sure needs binary mode on Win98.
BTW, on Win98 test_largefile runs quickly (under a second).
 2001-09-06 00:32:15 +00:00
Tim Peters a40c793d06 Rework the way we try to check for libm overflow, given that C99 no longer 
requires that errno ever get set, and it looks like glibc is already
playing that game.  New rules:

+ Never use HUGE_VAL.  Use the new Py_HUGE_VAL instead.

+ Never believe errno.  If overflow is the only thing you're interested in,
  use the new Py_OVERFLOWED(x) macro.  If you're interested in any libm
  errors, use the new Py_SET_ERANGE_IF_OVERFLOW(x) macro, which attempts
  to set errno the way C89 said it worked.

Unfortunately, none of these are reliable, but they work on Windows and I
*expect* under glibc too.
 2001-09-05 22:36:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 97bac53c14 Change the date field to use $Date$ so it won't be outrageously out of 
date.
 2001-09-05 18:57:51 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b674baf70e Document -Q. Move arguments around to be in strict alphabetical 
order.  Add breaks in SYNOPSIS.
 2001-09-05 18:55:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 32aa5d2c0b Describe -E (which was added to 2.2a2). 2001-09-05 18:43:35 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 44f8696171 Patch #428326: New class threading.Timer. 2001-09-05 13:44:54 +00:00
Tim Peters 785261684e Return reasonable results for math.log(long) and math.log10(long) (we were 
getting Infs, NaNs, or nonsense in 2.1 and before; in yesterday's CVS we
were getting OverflowError; but these functions always make good sense
for positive arguments, no matter how large).
 2001-09-05 00:53:45 +00:00
Tim Peters 7eea37e831 At Guido's suggestion, here's a new C API function, PyObject_Dir(), like 
__builtin__.dir().  Moved the guts from bltinmodule.c to object.c.
 2001-09-04 22:08:56 +00:00
Tim Peters 9fffa3eea3 Raise OverflowError when appropriate on long->float conversion. Most of 
the fiddling is simply due to that no caller of PyLong_AsDouble ever
checked for failure (so that's fixing old bugs).  PyLong_AsDouble is much
faster for big inputs now too, but that's more of a happy consequence
than a design goal.
 2001-09-04 05:14:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 61c345fa37 Rename the -D option to -Q, to avoid a Jython option name conflict. 2001-09-04 03:26:15 +00:00
Tim Peters 32f453eaa4 New restriction on pow(x, y, z): If z is not None, x and y must be of 
integer types, and y must be >= 0.  See discussion at
http://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=457066&group_id=5470&atid=105470
 2001-09-03 08:35:41 +00:00
Tim Peters 5d2b77cf31 Make dir() wordier (see the new docstring). The new behavior is a mixed 
bag.  It's clearly wrong for classic classes, at heart because a classic
class doesn't have a __class__ attribute, and I'm unclear on whether
that's feature or bug.  I'll repair this once I find out (in the
meantime, dir() applied to classic classes won't find the base classes,
while dir() applied to a classic-class instance *will* find the base
classes but not *their* base classes).

Please give the new dir() a try and see whether you love it or hate it.
The new dir([]) behavior is something I could come to love.  Here's
something to hate:

>>> class C:
...     pass
...
>>> c = C()
>>> dir(c)
['__doc__', '__module__']
>>>

The idea that an instance has a __doc__ attribute is jarring (of course
it's really c.__class__.__doc__ == C.__doc__; likewise for __module__).

OTOH, the code already has too many special cases, and dir(x) doesn't
have a compelling or clear purpose when x isn't a module.

Guido van Rossum cb6d0da04e An anonymous contributor reveals his name... 2001-09-02 05:07:17 +00:00
Tim Peters bdee63fff3 Start items w/ "-" instead of "+" (consistency w/ earlier versions). 
Stephen Hansen reported via email that he didn't finish the port to
Borland C, so remove the old item saying it worked and add a new item
saying what I know; I've asked Stephen for more details.
 2001-09-02 03:40:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ae45714ed3 Add various and sundry news items -- most mine, one Barry's, one

Tim Peters 8211237db8 marshal.c r_long64: When reading a TYPE_INT64 value on a box with 32-bit 
ints, convert to PyLong (rather than throwing away the high-order 32 bits).
 2001-08-29 02:28:42 +00:00

Barry Warsaw 18b2ecfa9a Add an item about Tim's new installer. This didn't make it into the 
2.2a2 release, but it's still worth mentioning.
 2001-08-22 20:26:56 +00:00

Tim Peters 0afb60951d Add blurb about cleanfuture.py. Fix misspelling in an older item. 2001-08-15 06:06:44 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 9b3be7f5d9 Document the new semantics for setting and deleting a function's 
__dict__ attribute.  Deleting it, or setting it to a non-dictionary
result in a TypeError.  Note that getting it the first time magically
initializes it to an empty dict so that func.__dict__ will always
appear to be a dictionary (never None).

Closes SF bug #446645.

Tim Peters 36a90f61e8 Thanks to 
LettError, Erik van Blokland, http://www.letterror.com/
the Python Windows installer finally has an attractive Pythonic bitmap
to delight the senses and dampen the fears of the millions and millions of

top, Tim adds them at the bottom.  I like the top better because folks
who occasionally check out the NEWS file will see the latest news
first.)
 2001-07-12 11:54:37 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 19b1c6156b (py-version): Hopefully fixed my XEmacs settings so this doesn't get
