Marc-André Lemburg 2d9204199f 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).

Tim Peters 1a7b3eee94 SF bug #422088: [OSF1 alpha] string.replace().
Platform blew up on "123".replace("123", "").  Michael Hudson pinned the
blame on platform malloc(0) returning NULL.
This is a candidate for all bugfix releases.

Marc-André Lemburg fde66e1bcc Fixed .capitalize() method of Unicode objects to work like the
corresponding string method. Added tests for this too.

Tim Peters d2bf3b7ca6 Whitespace normalization. Leaving tokenize_tests.py alone for now. 2001-01-18 02:22:22 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 3a645e4dd4 Added checks to prevent PyUnicode_Count() from dumping core
in case the parameters are out of bounds and fixes error handling
for .count(), .startswith() and .endswith() for the case of
mixed string/Unicode objects.

This patch adds Python style index semantics to PyUnicode_Count()
indices (including the special handling of negative indices).

The patch is an extended version of patch #103249 submitted
by Michael Hudson (mwh) on SF. It also includes new test cases.
