Mozilla 0.9.5 can make intelligent use of them. Specifically, this causes
the "Acknowledgements" and "Global Module Index" pages to acquire "up"
links in the Mozilla "Site Navigation Bar".
This partially responds to SF bug #469772.
response to a message by Laura Creighton on c.l.py. E.g.
>>> 0+''
TypeError: unsupported operand types for +: 'int' and 'str'
(previously this did not mention the operand types)
>>> ''+0
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects
There really isn't a good reason for instance method objects to have
their own __dict__, __doc__ and __name__ properties that just delegate
the request to the function (callable); the default attribute behavior
already does this.
The test suite had to be fixed because the error changes from
TypeError to AttributeError.

removed USE_PYTHON defines, and related sre.py helpers
skip calling the subx helper if the template is callable.
interestingly enough, this means that
def callback(m):
return literal
result = pattern.sub(callback, string)
is much faster than
result = pattern.sub(literal, string)
removed (conceptually flawed) getliteral helper; the new sub/subn code
uses a faster code path for literal replacement strings, but doesn't
(yet) look for literal patterns.

'slotdef' structure typedef and 'struct wrapperbase'. By adding the
wrapper docstrings to the slotdef structure, the slotdefs array can
serve as the data structure that drives add_operators(); the wrapper
descriptor contains a pointer to slotdef structure. This replaces
lots of custom code from add_operators() by a loop over the slotdefs
array, and does away with all the tab_xxx tables.

This patch implements what we have discussed on python-dev late in
September: str(obj) and unicode(obj) should behave similar, while
the old behaviour is retained for unicode(obj, encoding, errors).
The patch also adds a new feature with which objects can provide
unicode(obj) with input data: the __unicode__ method. Currently no
new tp_unicode slot is implemented; this is left as option for the
future.
Note that PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() no longer accepts Unicode
objects as input. The API name already suggests that Unicode
objects do not belong in the list of acceptable objects and the
functionality was only needed because
PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() was being used directly by
unicode(). The latter was changed in the discussed way:
* unicode(obj) calls PyObject_Unicode()
* unicode(obj, encoding, errors) calls PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject()
One thing left open to discussion is whether to leave the
PyUnicode_FromObject() API as a thin API extension on top of
PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() or to turn it into a (macro) alias
for PyObject_Unicode() and deprecate it. Doing so would have some
surprising consequences though, e.g. u"abc" + 123 would turn out
as u"abc123"...
[Marc-Andre didn't have time to check this in before the deadline. I
hope this is OK, Marc-Andre! You can still make changes and commit
them on the trunk after the branch has been made, but then please mail
Barry a context diff if you want the change to be merged into the
2.2b1 release branch. GvR]
