The new re module was written by Andrew Kuchling and uses the pcre
code in ../Modules/. The old re module has been renamed to re1,
just in case you need it for comparison.
with an instance of a derived class B would really raise an A, not a
B. Since Barry fixed this anomalous behaviour, I though I might as
well fix the test! (Hmm, Barry, did you not run the tests or did you
miss that test_opcodes failed?)
os.fdopen() calls unbuffered. I presume that it's enough if we can
make all three of them (for stdin, stdout, and stderr) unbuffered and
don't need to specify different buffer sizes per file -- that would
complicate the interface more than I care for.
Apparently the traceback object doesn't contains the right linenumber
when -O is used. Rather than guessing whether -O is on or off, use
tb_lineno() unconditionally.
When completing a simple identifier, it completes keywords, built-ins
and globals in __main__; when completing NAME.NAME..., it evaluates
(!) the expression up to the last dot and completes its attributes.
It's very cool to do "import string" type "string.", hit the
completion key (twice), and see the list of names defined by the
string module!
Tip: to use the tab key as the completion key, call
readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
- Don't use "from copy_reg import *".
- Use cls.__module__ instead of calling whichobject(cls, cls.__name__);
also try __module__ in whichmodule(), just in case.
- After calling save_reduce(), add the object to the memo.
instance, use inst.__dict__.update(value) instead of a for loop with
setattr() over the value.keys(). This is more consistent (the
pickling doesn't use getattr() either but pickles inst.__dict__) and
avoids problems with instances that have a __setattr__ hook.
But it *is* a semantic change (because the setattr hook is no longer
used). So beware!
errors are handled (these gave ``TypeError: not enough arguments'').
Also changed its __str__() to correct a typo (missing self.) and
return str(self.msg) to ensure the result is always string.
Also changed the default __str__ to simply return str(self.args).
(though some type names are undefined in that case, e.g. CodeType
(inaccessible), FileType (not always accessible), and TracebackType
and FrameType (inaccessible).
Sjoerd: add separate administration of temporary files created y
URLopener.retrieve() so cleanup can properly remove them. The old
code removed everything in tempcache which was a bad idea if the user
had passed a non-temp file into it. (I added a line to delete the
tempcache in cleanup() -- it still seems to make sense.)
Jack: in basejoin(), interpret relative paths starting in "../". This
is necessary if the server uses symbolic links.
