Andrew M. Kuchling 099bd524a4 [Bug 949832] Fix example; edit sentence 2004-07-10 16:01:10 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger bf4406971c Improve Context construction and representation: 
* Rename "trap_enablers" to just "traps".
* Simplify names of "settraps" and "setflags" to just "traps" and "flags".
* Show "capitals" in the context representation
* Simplify the Context constructor to match its repr form so that only
  the set flags and traps need to be listed.
* Representation can now be run through eval().

Improve the error message when the Decimal constructor is given a float.

The test suite no longer needs a duplicate reset_flags method.

Raymond Hettinger 0d278b861e SF bug #987486: fix typo. 2004-07-10 11:15:56 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 5aa478badf Module and tests: 
* Map conditions to related signals.
* Make contexts unhashable.
* Eliminate used "default" attribute in exception definitions.
* Eliminate the _filterfunc in favor of a straight list.

Docs:
* Eliminate documented references to conditions that are not signals.
* Eliminate parenthetical notes such as "1/0 --> Inf" which are no
  longer true with the new defaults.

Fred Drake 0a4dd390bf Make weak references subclassable: 
- weakref.ref and weakref.ReferenceType will become aliases for each
  other

- weakref.ref will be a modern, new-style class with proper __new__
  and __init__ methods

- weakref.WeakValueDictionary will have a lighter memory footprint,
  using a new weakref.ref subclass to associate the key with the
  value, allowing us to have only a single object of overhead for each
  dictionary entry (currently, there are 3 objects of overhead per
  entry: a weakref to the value, a weakref to the dictionary, and a
  function object used as a weakref callback; the weakref to the
  dictionary could be avoided without this change)

- a new macro, PyWeakref_CheckRefExact(), will be added

- PyWeakref_CheckRef() will check for subclasses of weakref.ref

This closes SF patch #983019.

Raymond Hettinger 214b1c3aae SF Bug #215126: Over restricted type checking on eval() function 
The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument.
Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing
down the normal case.  My timings so no measurable impact.

are within proper boundaries as specified in the docs.

This can break possible code (datetime module needed changing, for instance)
that uses 0 for values that need to be greater 1 or greater (month, day, and
day of year).

Fixes bug #897625.

Raymond Hettinger 0a4977c2f3 Replace left(), right(), and __reversed__() with the more general purpose 
__getitem__() and __setitem__().

Simplifies the API, reduces the code size, adds flexibility, and makes
deques work with bisect.bisect(), random.shuffle(), and random.sample().

Raymond Hettinger 738ec90ca1 Improvements to collections.deque(): 
* Add doctests for the examples in the library reference.
* Add two methods, left() and right(), modeled after deques in C++ STL.
* Apply the new method to asynchat.py.
* Add comparison operators to make deques more substitutable for lists.
* Replace the LookupErrors with IndexErrors to more closely match lists.

David Ascher e2b4b32025 Implementation of patch 869468 
Allow the user to create Tkinter.Tcl objects which are
just like Tkinter.Tk objects except that they do not
initialize Tk. This is useful in circumstances where the
script is being run on machines that do not have an X
server running -- in those cases, Tk initialization fails,
even if no window is ever created.

Includes documentation change and tests.

Tested on Linux, Solaris and Windows.

Andrew M. Kuchling 44a98237d8 [Bug #873205] Update URL 2004-01-11 23:00:16 +00:00
Sjoerd Mullender 7e6bbe1516 The format of the string data used in the imageop module is described 
as "This is the same format as used by gl.lrectwrite() and the imgfile
module."  This implies a certain byte order in multi-byte pixel
formats.  However, the code was originally written on an SGI
(big-endian) and *uses* the fact that bytes are stored in a particular
order in ints.  This means that the code uses and produces different
byte order on little-endian systems.

This fix adds a module-level flag "backward_compatible" (default not
set, and if not set, behaves as if set to 1--i.e. backward compatible)
that can be used on a little-endian system to use the same byte order
as the SGI.  Using this flag it is then possible to prepare
SGI-compatible images on a little-endian system.

This patch is the result of a (small) discussion on python-dev and was
submitted to SourceForge as patch #874358.

Jeremy Hylton c1be59f40a SF patch 852995: add processors feature to urllib2 
John J. Lee writes: "the patch makes it possible to implement
functionality like HTTP cookie handling, Refresh handling,
etc. etc. using handler objects. At the moment urllib2's handler
objects aren't quite up to the job, which results in a lot of
cut-n-paste and subclassing. I believe the changes are
backwards-compatible, with the exception of people who've
reimplemented build_opener()'s functionality -- those people would
need to call opener.add_handler(HTTPErrorProcessor).

The main change is allowing handlers to implement
methods like:

http_request(request)
http_response(request, response)

In addition to the usual

http_open(request)
http_error{_*}(...)
"

Note that the change isn't well documented at least in part because
handlers aren't well documented at all.  Need to fix this.

Add a bunch of new tests.  It appears that none of these tests
actually use the network, so they don't need to be guarded by a
resource flag.
