Raymond Hettinger 2ed6dff796 As discussed on python-dev, revised docs to note that
PyObject_IsTrue() can have an error result.

Also, added missing docs for PyObject_Not().

Will backport.

Guido van Rossum 0fc8f00252 - pythunrun.c, Py_Finalize(): move the call to _Py_PrintReferences()
even farther down, to just before the call to
  _PyObject_DebugMallocStats().  This required the following changes:

- pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an
  exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is
  available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception
  (ever).

- object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL,
  don't raise an exception but return 0.  This means that when
  printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on
  and on.  But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see
  first bullet).

- Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to
  PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.

Skip Montanaro 1ff49a7734 * Add description of PyInt_FromString.
* Correct description of PyFloat_FromString.  While ignored, the pend
  argument still has to be given.
* Typo in PyLong_FromString.
2003-02-03 05:13:24 +00:00
Skip Montanaro ae31e9b8c7 Add PyFloat_FromString. Left the char **pend argument out of the
description since while there, it is useless and ignored, according to Tim's
commen.  (PyInt_FromString is also not described, but PyLong_FromString is.
Is the former deprecated?)

Fred Drake f536827c65 Include version annotation for PyObject_Call(). 2003-01-25 07:48:13 +00:00
Walter Dörwald d9a6ad3beb Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.

This closes SF patch #649608.

Walter Dörwald f171540ab8 Change int() so that passing a string, unicode, float or long argument
that is outside the integer range no longer raises OverflowError, but
returns a long object instead.

This fixes SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/635115
2002-11-19 20:49:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 674dae245a Clarify that PyImport_AddModule() and PyImport_ExecCodeModule() don't
add any package support structure even if a dotted-name is passed for
the module.
Closes SF bug #424106.

Raymond Hettinger 513069028f Fix API typo. The write buffer is not const. Closes SF 606216. 2002-09-08 04:39:28 +00:00
Fred Drake 794643c314 Py_InitModule() and friends now accept NULL for the 'methods'
argument.  This makes sense now that extension types can support
__init__ directly rather than requiring function constructors.

Barry Warsaw 29ce2d7d1e Document PyExc_FutureWarning 2002-08-14 16:06:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 43af5b5852 Add some fine points: METH_KEYWORDS implies METH_VARARGS, and ob_size
is no longer unused in type objects.
2002-08-06 17:18:56 +00:00
Thomas Heller 085358a3e2 New functions for extension writers on Windows:
PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr(), PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilename().

Similar to PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename() and
PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr(), but they allow to specify
the exception type to raise. Available on Windows.

See SF patch #576458.

Tim Peters 7c321a80f9 The Py_REF_DEBUG/COUNT_ALLOCS/Py_TRACE_REFS macro minefield: added
more trivial lexical helper macros so that uses of these guys expand
to nothing at all when they're not enabled.  This should help sub-
standard compilers that can't do a good job of optimizing away the
previous "(void)0" expressions.

Py_DECREF:  There's only one definition of this now.  Yay!  That
was that last one in the family defined multiple times in an #ifdef
maze.

Py_FatalError():  Changed the char* signature to const char*.

_Py_NegativeRefcount():  New helper function for the Py_REF_DEBUG
expansion of Py_DECREF.  Calling an external function cuts down on
the volume of generated code.  The previous inline expansion of abort()
didn't work as intended on Windows (the program often kept going, and
the error msg scrolled off the screen unseen).  _Py_NegativeRefcount
calls Py_FatalError instead, which captures our best knowledge of
how to abort effectively across platforms.

Michael W. Hudson 5efaf7eac8 This is my nearly two year old patch
[ 400998 ] experimental support for extended slicing on lists

somewhat spruced up and better tested than it was when I wrote it.

Includes docs & tests.  The whatsnew section needs expanding, and arrays
should support extended slices -- later.
