Jeremy Hylton af68c874a6 Add const to several API functions that take char *.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast().  Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.

I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc.  Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes.  The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].

One cast was required as a result of the changes:  A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.

Raymond Hettinger ef9bf4031a Tidied up the implementations of reversed (including the custom ones
for xrange and list objects).

* list.__reversed__ now checks the length of the sequence object before
  calling PyList_GET_ITEM() because the mutable could have changed length.

* all three implementations are now tranparent with respect to length and
  maintain the invariant len(it) == len(list(it)) even when the underlying
  sequence mutates.

* __builtin__.reversed() now frees the underlying sequence as soon
  as the iterator is exhausted.

* the code paths were rearranged so that the most common paths
  do not require a jump.

Raymond Hettinger d2c36261a2 Eliminate the double reverse option. It's only use case
was academic and it was potentially confusing to use.

Jeremy Hylton fbbe34789e Add a useful docstring to enumerate. 2003-04-21 20:26:25 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 1da1dbf458 Renamed PyObject_GenericGetIter to PyObject_SelfIter
to more accurately describe what the function does.

Suggested by Thomas Wouters.

Raymond Hettinger 0153826964 Created PyObject_GenericGetIter().
Factors out the common case of returning self.

Guido van Rossum ca5ed5b875 Remove the next() method -- one is supplied automatically by
PyType_Ready() because the tp_iternext slot is set (fortunately,
because using the tp_iternext implementation for the the next()
implementation is buggy).  Also changed the allocation order in
enum_next() so that the underlying iterator is only moved ahead when
we have successfully allocated the result tuple and index.

Guido van Rossum 7dab2426ca - New builtin function enumerate(x), from PEP 279. Example:
enumerate("abc") is an iterator returning (0,"a"), (1,"b"), (2,"c").
  The argument can be an arbitrary iterable object.
