Add note about _symtable.
Add note that 'from ... import *' restriction may go away -- and move
the whole entry closer to the top, because it might bite people.

Tim Peters 0de88fc4b1 Change random.seed() so that it can get at the full range of possible
internal states.  Put the old .seed() (which could only get at about
the square root of the # of possibilities) under the new name .whseed(),
for bit-level compatibility with older versions.  This occurred to me
while reviewing effbot's book (he found himself stumbling over .seed()
more than once there ...).

Barry Warsaw 30dbd1429a Document the two changes to the mailbox.py module:
- All constructors grow an optional argument `factory' which is a
  callable used when new message instances are created by the next()
  methods.  Defaults to the rfc822.Message class.

- A new subclass of UnixMailbox is added, called PortableUnixMailbox.
  It's identical to UnixMailbox, but uses a more portable test for
  From_ delimiter lines.  With PortableUnixMailbox, any line that
  starts with "From " is considered a delimiter (this should really
  check for two newlines before the F, but it doesn't.

Tim Peters 0149e84af2 SF bug #130306: statcache.py full of thread problems.

Tim Peters 547397c45b SF bug http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=130242&group_id=5470
SF patch http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103453&group_id=5470
PyMember_Set of T_CHAR always raises exception.
Unfortunately, this is a use of a C API function that Python itself never makes, so
there's no .py test I can check in to verify this stays fixed.  But the fault in the
code is obvious, and Dave Cole's patch just as obviously fixes it.

Tim Peters d52269bfd0 Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initialization
got broken).  Also added new method .jumpahead(N).  This finally gives us
a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently
in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new
machinery!).
2001-01-25 06:23:18 +00:00
Tim Peters d7b5e88e8e Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all the
functionality of, whrandom.py.  Also closes all the "XXX" todos in
random.py.  New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and
setstate().  All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden
instance.  Killed all unintended exports.  Updated the docs.
FRED:  The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact
intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags.  Please review critically.
GUIDO:  See email.  I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I
think it should be.

Thomas Wouters fe385251f4 Make the 'time' argument to the timemodule functions strftime, asctime,

Marc-André Lemburg ad7c98e264 This patch adds a new builtin unistr() which behaves like str()
except that it always returns Unicode objects.

A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.

This closes patch #101664.

Guido van Rossum c4e1775081 Two new names. 2001-01-03 23:51:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 36cdad12dd Fred, THIS NEEDS DOCS! The function docstrings tell the tale.
Christmas present to myself:  the bisect module didn't define what
happened if the new element was already in the list.  It so happens
that it inserted the new element "to the right" of all equal elements.
Since it wasn't defined, among other bad implications it was a mystery
how to use bisect to determine whether an element was already in the
list (I've seen code that *assumed* "to the right" without justification).
Added new methods bisect_left and insort_left that insert "to the left"
instead; made the old names bisect and insort aliases for the new names
bisect_right and insort_right; beefed up docstrings to explain what
these actually do; and added a std test for the bisect module.

Barry Warsaw 3c34bb33ff (py-goto-beginning-of-tqs): When searching backwards for the matching
delimiter, watch out for backslash escaped delimiters.  Also use =
instead of eq for character comparison (because a character is = to
it's integer value, but not eq to it).

Tim Peters 077a11dd00 arraymodule: Fix SF bug 113960.
reverse() didn't work at all due to bad arg check.
    Fixed that.
    Added Brad Chapman to ACKS file, as the proud new owner of two
        implicitly copyrighted lines of Python source code <wink>.
    Repaired buffer_info's total lack of arg-checking.
    Replaced memmove by memcpy in reverse() guts, as memmove is
        often slower and the memory areas are guaranteed disjoint.
    Replaced poke-and-hope unchecked decl of tmp buffer size by
        assert-checked larger tmp buffer.
    Got rid of inconsistent spaces before open paren in docstrings.
    Added reverse() sanity tests to test_array.py.

Barry Warsaw 2ef0753a17 Added James Henstridge 2000-08-30 03:30:28 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg bff879cabb This patch finalizes the move from UTF-8 to a default encoding in
the Python Unicode implementation.

The internal buffer used for implementing the buffer protocol
is renamed to defenc to make this change visible. It now holds the
default encoded version of the Unicode object and is calculated
on demand (NULL otherwise).

Since the default encoding defaults to ASCII, this will mean that
Unicode objects which hold non-ASCII characters will no longer
work on C APIs using the "s" or "t" parser markers. C APIs must now
explicitly provide Unicode support via the "u", "U" or "es"/"es#"
parser markers in order to work with non-ASCII Unicode strings.

(Note: this patch will also have to be applied to the 1.6 branch

Guido van Rossum e8d2d6b34c Some new names (some contributors of patches that haven't even been
accepted yet!)
2000-06-29 00:04:51 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 99eadf4de9 (py-execute-region): Make sure the new temporary buffer is current for
the insertion of the text.
2000-06-23 20:24:25 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg bfa36f5407 Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Updated to version 1.5. Includes typo fixes by Andrew Kuchling
and a new section on the default encoding.
2000-06-08 17:51:33 +00:00
Barry Warsaw caee2fe35d (py-execute-region): Based on suggestions by Francois Pinard and Skip
Montanaro, handle execution of indented regions by inserting an "if
1:" in front of the block.  This better preserves things like triple
quoted strings and commented regions.  This patch resolves PR#264.

Guido van Rossum 2581764f21 Version 1.3 of the Python Unicode Integration proposal. 2000-04-10 19:45:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0b4400e86c Bunch of new names, mostly from patches and bugs mailing lists
(everyone who said something remotely useful in the last 100 messages
I archived has been added :-).
2000-04-10 19:14:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 494ef17472 Two more names. I just realize that there may be more contributors to
distutils lurking in CVS logs that I probably haven't read.  Oh well.
2000-03-31 19:51:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5964f8d60b I believe I've now got all the names mentioned in the CVS logs since
1.5.2 was released, except those who contributed only to Doc files --
Fred has his own way of doing this.

This doesn't mean that I've got everyone who contributed *before*
1.5.2 was released in here... :-(
2000-03-31 19:45:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0380c2638c More names. 2000-03-31 13:01:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fb2789f387 Couple more names. We need to add way more names -- I'll have to dig
them out of the changelogs :-(
2000-03-31 00:45:00 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 7690151c7e slightly modified version of Greg Ewing's extended call syntax patch
executive summary:
Instead of typing 'apply(f, args, kwargs)' you can type 'f(*arg, **kwargs)'.
Some file-by-file details follow.

Grammar/Grammar:
    simplify varargslist, replacing '*' '*' with '**'
    add * & ** options to arglist

Include/opcode.h & Lib/dis.py:
    define three new opcodes
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR
        CALL_FUNCTION_KW
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW

Python/ceval.c:
    extend TypeError "keyword parameter redefined" message to include
        the name of the offending keyword
    reindent CALL_FUNCTION using four spaces
    add handling of sequences and dictionaries using extend calls
    fix function import_from to use PyErr_Format
2000-03-28 23:49:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 24bdb0474f Marc-Andre Lemburg:
The attached patch set includes a workaround to get Python with
Unicode compile on BSDI 4.x (courtesy Thomas Wouters; the cause
is a bug in the BSDI wchar.h header file) and Python interfaces
for the MBCS codec donated by Mark Hammond.

Also included are some minor corrections w/r to the docs of
the new "es" and "es#" parser markers (use PyMem_Free() instead
of free(); thanks to Mark Hammond for finding these).

The unicodedata tests are now in a separate file
(test_unicodedata.py) to avoid problems if the module cannot
be found.
2000-03-28 20:29:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d8855fde88 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Attached you find the latest update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version.

It includes the fix I posted yesterday for the core dump problem
in codecs.c (was introduced by my previous patch set -- sorry),
adds more tests for the codecs and two new parser markers
"es" and "es#".

    The patch is against the current CVS version. I would appreciate
    if someone with CVS checkin permissions could check the changes
    in.

    The patch contains all bugs and patches sent this week and also
    fixes a leak in the codecs code and a bug in the free list code
    for Unicode objects (which only shows up when compiling Python
    with Py_DEBUG; thanks to MarkH for spotting this one).
