Tim Peters b16c56f0ba Teach Windows build and installer about new _symtable module/DLL. 2001-02-02 21:24:51 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton d6b1cf9a55 Fix spelling errors. 
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.
 2001-02-02 20:06:28 +00:00
Tim Peters 9ea17ac595 Patch derived from Trent's 101162: a Python/C API testing framework. 
STILL NEEDS UNIX BUILD CHANGES.

Jeremy Hylton 4589bd82da Add item about nested scopes.

wrong section and the section restriction was removed.

Fred Drake fb9d712721 Added comments about the weak reference support. 2001-02-01 20:00:40 +00:00
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 ...).
 2001-02-01 04:59:18 +00:00
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 ee826f88c9 Docs for new Windows zlib build procedure. 2001-01-31 19:39:44 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 69c327988a add note about two kinds of illegal imports that are now checked 2001-01-30 01:27:28 +00:00
Moshe Zadka 6af0ce0501 Added news of function comparison and hashing by identity 2001-01-29 06:41:00 +00:00
Tim Peters 40ead76ed6 Added news about repr(string). 2001-01-27 05:35:26 +00:00
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.
 2001-01-25 03:36:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1e33bdcb76 Added notes about setup.py and cygwin build; removed note about 
the previous auto-configuring modules feature (already obsolete :-).
 2001-01-23 03:17:00 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg ebb195b270 Updating NEWS to match the current state of affairs. 2001-01-20 10:34:52 +00:00
Thomas Wouters fe385251f4 Make the 'time' argument to the timemodule functions strftime, asctime, 
ctime, gmtime and localtime optional, defaulting to 'the current time' in
all cases. Adjust docs, add news item. Also convert all argument-handling to
METH_VARARGS. Closes SF patch #103265.
 2001-01-19 23:16:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a88479f0e3 - Add note about complex numbers. 
- Changed description of rich comparisons to emphasize that < and >
  (etc.) are each other's reflection.  Also use this word in the note
  about the demise of __rcmp__.
 2001-01-18 14:28:08 +00:00
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.

Written by Marc-Andre Lemburg. Copyright assigned to Guido van Rossum.
 2001-01-17 17:09:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f98eda01ab News item for rich comparisons. 
(I'm going to check in some more uses of rich comparisons, but the

Guido van Rossum f61f166bca Added a whole slew of news items. Not striving for completeness -- 
I've skipped all bugfixes, Unicode, distutils changes.  But this
should be a start!
 2001-01-10 20:13:55 +00:00
Tim Peters 742bb6f9fd Clarification of new bisect module functions. 2001-01-05 08:05:32 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis be4c0f56a2 Recognize pyc files even if they don't end in pyc. 
Patch #103067 with modifications as discussed in email.
 2001-01-04 20:30:56 +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.

Tim Peters 9940b800a4 Made the description of %[udxXo] formats of negative longs in 2.1 more accurate.
