round included:
* Revert round to its 2.6 behavior (half away from 0).
* Because round, floor, and ceil always return float again, it's no
longer necessary to have them delegate to __xxx___, so I've ripped
that out of their implementations and the Real ABC. This also helps
in implementing types that work in both 2.6 and 3.0: you return int
from the __xxx__ methods, and let it get enabled by the version
upgrade.
* Make pow(-1, .5) raise a ValueError again.
* Make the _replace() method respect subclassing.
* Using property() to make _fields read-only wasn't a good idea.
It caused len(Point._fields) to fail.
* Add note to _cast() about length checking and alternative with the star-operator.
the complex_pow part), r56649, r56652, r56715, r57296, r57302, r57359, r57361,
r57372, r57738, r57739, r58017, r58039, r58040, and r59390, and new
documentation. The only significant difference is that round(x) returns a float
to preserve backward-compatibility. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1689.
r58207 and r58247 patch logic is reversed. I noticed this when I
tried to use urllib to retrieve a file which required auth.
Fix that and add a test for 401 error to verify.
to use of datetime.datetime.now() instead of utcnow() for comparison.
(I think the test can still fail if it's executed pretty much *at*
new year's eve, but that's not worth fixing.)
Also fix the test by having the test classes inherit from object.
Are the getter/setter/deleter attributes supposed to be able to chain? As of
right now they can't as the property tries to call what the property returns,
which is another property when they are chained.
This changes the rules for when __hash__ is inherited slightly,
by allowing it to be inherited when one or more of __lt__, __le__,
__gt__, __ge__ are overridden, as long as __eq__ and __ne__ aren't.
This adds signal.set_wakeup_fd(fd) which sets a file descriptor to
which a zero byte will be written whenever a C exception handler runs.
I added a simple C API as well, PySignal_SetWakeupFd(fd).
Allows dictionaries to be pre-sized (upto 255 elements) saving time lost
to re-sizes with their attendant mallocs and re-insertions.
Has zero effect on small dictionaries (5 elements or fewer), a slight
benefit for dicts upto 22 elements (because they had to resize once
anyway), and more benefit for dicts upto 255 elements (saving multiple
resizes during the build-up and reducing the number of collisions on
the first insertions). Beyond 255 elements, there is no addional benefit.
