module.
The code is shorter, more readable, faster, and dramatically increases the
range of acceptable dates.
Also, used the floor division operator in leapdays().
[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers
with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.
Try to clear up confusion about the current globals being copied
into a globals dict passed to eval(). This wording (more or less)
was suggested in bug report. It should probably be made clearer.
Backport candidate.
Added doc for functions new to 2.2: classmethod property staticmethod super
Taken from docstrings. Could use review.
Hope there wasn't a reason why these shouldn't have been added.
Backport candidate.
[#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling
* Objects/fileobject.c
(file_read): Clear errors before leaving the loop in all situations,
and also check if some data was read before exiting the loop with an
EWOULDBLOCK exception.
* Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex
* Objects/fileobject.c
Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than
what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode.
* Misc/NEWS
Document the fix.
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.
This closes SF patch #649608.
This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with
an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance:
z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w")
z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data)
z.close()
I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient
for simple (but common) things.
If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo
instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time,
which makes sense to me for anonymous data.
this can result in significantly smaller files. All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility. Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.
