Johannes Gijsbers 97613ad02d Patch #1051321 (fixes bugs 1010196, 1013525), by Mike Brown: 
* Document hasFeature(), createDocument(), CreateDocumentType(),
  hasAttribute(), hasAttributeNS().

* In the documentation for createDocument(), it is now stated that the Python
  DOM API allows implementations to forego creation of the document element
  child node, if no namespace and local name arguments are given. (This
  possibility is left open and unaddressed in the W3C spec).

* Addition by me: use 'name' rather than 'attname', for consistency with the
  DOM specification and the Python DOM API implementation.
 2005-01-09 00:36:53 +00:00
Johannes Gijsbers 158df10341 Bug #1098497: various small typo's, grammar and markup nits. 2005-01-09 00:12:48 +00:00
Johannes Gijsbers 836f5433f7 Patch #943206: 
`glob.glob()` currently calls itself recursively to build a list of matches of
the dirname part of the pattern and then filters by the basename part. This is
effectively BFS. ``glob.glob('*/*/*/*/*/foo')`` will build a huge list of all
directories 5 levels deep even if only a handful of them contain a ``foo``
entry. A generator-based recusion would never have to store these list at once
by implementing DFS. This patch converts the `glob` function to an `iglob`
recursive generator . `glob()` now just returns ``list(iglob(pattern))``.

I also cleaned up the code a bit (reduced duplicate `has_magic()` checks and
created a second `glob0` helper func so that the main loop need not be
duplicated).

Thanks to Cherniavsky Beni for the patch!
 2005-01-08 13:13:19 +00:00

Brett Cannon c8aa848ece Have test_mkalias_relative check that sys.prefix already exists; otherwise test 
is pointless.

Also add a note to the docs for the 'test' package that test cases should check
first that any conditions needed in the operating system are met before having
a test run.

Closes bug #1077302.  THanks, Ian Holsman.

Tim Peters 919a3b40f9 SF bug 1071087: os.walk example for deleting a full tree is sometime wrong. 
Clarify that the example assumes no links are present; the point of the
example is to illustrate a need for topdown=False, not to wrestle with
platform-dependent link convolutions.

Also spell os.path.join() out in full, instead of using a shortcut import.
The bug reporter was confused by that too, and it's clearer this way.

Bugfix candidate; but I don't intend to backport it.

Armin Rigo 80adba6873 Mistakes in the "sequence types" page: 
* explanation for example with lists of lists made confusing use of
  the word "contains" to mean "is built out of".

* wrong formula for slices with step.  Is it ok to use LaTeX formulas
  (which become images in the html document)?  This version needs one
  because it's based on a fraction.  Just writing "\code{(j-i)/k}" here would
  be ambiguous because it looks like a rounding-down-to-the-previous-integer
  division, which is not what we need here.  Of course we could write
  "\code{float(j-i)/k}" but it just looks confusing.

Johannes Gijsbers 9fc9789a0d Document that on Unix, the 'cmd' argument to the os.popen2/3/4 and 
popen2.popen2/3/4 functions can be a sequence. All texts are a variation on the
following:

On \UNIX, \var{cmd} may be a sequence, in which case arguments will be passed
directly to the program without shell intervention (as with
\function{os.spawnv()}). If \var{cmd} is a string it will be passed to the shell
(as with \function{os.system()}).

Barry Warsaw bb11386730 Big email 3.0 API changes, with updated unit tests and documentation. 
Briefly (from the NEWS file):

- Updates for the email package:
  + All deprecated APIs that in email 2.x issued warnings have been removed:
    _encoder argument to the MIMEText constructor, Message.add_payload(),
    Utils.dump_address_pair(), Utils.decode(), Utils.encode()
  + New deprecations: Generator.__call__(), Message.get_type(),
    Message.get_main_type(), Message.get_subtype(), the 'strict' argument to
    the Parser constructor.  These will be removed in email 3.1.
  + Support for Python earlier than 2.3 has been removed (see PEP 291).
  + All defect classes have been renamed to end in 'Defect'.
  + Some FeedParser fixes; also a MultipartInvariantViolationDefect will be
    added to messages that claim to be multipart but really aren't.
  + Updates to documentation.

Tim Peters 01ba799244 A number of list examples used 66.6, but I doubt there's any box on which 
repr(66.6) == "66.6", so doubt that the claimed output has ever been seen.
Changed it to 66.25 everywhere, and manually verified that the new claimed
output is correct.
 2004-09-28 16:12:50 +00:00
Edward Loper 7d88a58e85 Reverted the addition of a NORMALIZE_NUMBERS option, per Tim Peter's 
request.  Tim says that "correct 'fuzzy' comparison of floats cannot
be automated."  (The motivation behind adding the new option
was verifying interactive examples in Python's latex documentation;
several such examples use numbers that don't print consistently on
different platforms.)
 2004-09-28 05:50:57 +00:00
Edward Loper aec3c9b54f Added a new NORMALIZE_NUMBERS option, which causes number literals in 
the expected output to match corresponding number literals in the
actual output if their values are equal (to ten digits of precision).

Raymond Hettinger 596ba4d89e Granted Noam Raphael's request for minor improvements to the re module and 
its documentation.

* Documented that the compiled re methods are supposed to be more full
  featured than their simpilified function counterparts.

* Documented the existing start and stop position arguments for the
  findall() and finditer() methods of compiled regular expression objects.

* Added an optional flags argument to the re.findall() and re.finditer()
  functions.  This aligns their API with that for re.search() and
  re.match().

has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to
return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines()
have a new argument keepends. Trailing "\n"s will be stripped from the lines
if keepends is false. Added C APIs PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful and

and REPORTING_FLAGS, which are bitmasks or'ing together the relevant
individual option flags.

set_unittest_reportflags():  Reworked to use REPORTING_FLAGS, and
simplified overly complicated flag logic.

class FakeModule:  Removed this; neither documented nor used.

[ 1009560 ] Fix @decorator evaluation order

From the description:

Changes in this patch:

- Change Grammar/Grammar to require
newlines between adjacent decorators.

- Fix order of evaluation of decorators
in the C (compile.c) and python
(Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py) compilers

- Add better order of evaluation check
to test_decorators.py (test_eval_order)

- Update the decorator documentation in
the reference manual (improve description
of evaluation order and update syntax
description)

and the comment:

Used Brett's evaluation order (see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/047835.html)

Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function
is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing.

Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New().  This fixes a variety
of bogus errors.  Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now.

Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that
CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to
native C longs.

Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that
relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.

Fred Drake d04573fef0 This allows additional commands to be provided for existing setup.py

Specifically, an option is added to distutils that allows additional
packages to be searched for command implementations in addition to
distutils.command.  The additional packages can be specified on the
command line or via the installation or personal configuration files
already loaded by distutils.

Tim Peters d6ef19309d SF bugs 996748: os.environ documentation should indicate unreliability

to assign to os.environ than to call putenv() directly (the putenv()
docs said so, but the environ docs didn't).

many more words to address common confusions about some of the subtler
issues.

Gustavo Niemeyer 7bd33c5e22 This change implements the following gettext features, as 
discussed recently in python-dev:

In _locale module:

- bind_textdomain_codeset() binding

In gettext module:

- bind_textdomain_codeset() function
- lgettext(), lngettext(), ldgettext(), ldngettext(),
  which return translated strings encoded in
  preferred system encoding, if
  bind_textdomain_codeset() was not used.
- Added equivalent functionality in translate()
  function and catalog classes.

Every change was also documented.
