Raymond Hettinger 8ddc176e2e Improve DictMixin. 
Replaced docstring with comments.  Prevents subclass contamination.
Added the missing __cmp__() method and a test for __cmp__().
Used try/except style in preference to has_key() followed by a look-up.
Used iteritem() where possible to save creating a long key list and
   to save redundant lookups.
Expanded .update() to look for the most helpful methods first and gradually
   work down to a mininum expected interface.
Expanded documentation to be more clear on how to use the class.

Fred Drake 3a2cda876b Minor revisions to clarify the status of xreadlines(), change the way

Tim Peters b9099c3df4 SF patch 637176: list.sort crasher 
Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for

SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation.  The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone!  OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty.  Better
than a core dump.
 2002-11-12 22:08:10 +00:00
Fred Drake 4b9ed2f346 Clarified documentation of tempnam().

Fred Drake 50276abd9b Update an example to use the DOM implementation object. Explain that 
the parse() and parseString() functions use a separate parser, not
actually implement a parser.  (This is a common question.)

Fred Drake ff287cfb4c Point to the PyXML package as an extended version of the "xml" package

Fred Drake d8eeeae4a6 Fix reference to the Fetchmail FAQ:

Removed some spurious end-of-line whitespace.

 2002-10-01 14:38:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 6516e14968 Minor style nit for referring to other attributes of the same class 
from an attributes description.
 2002-10-01 14:29:58 +00:00
Fred Drake fcc31b44d2 Split the long email package examples into separate files and use 
\verbatiminput instead of the verbatim environment -- this does the "right
thing" regarding page breaks in long examples for the typeset formats, and
has nice benefits for the HTML version as well.
 2002-10-01 14:17:10 +00:00
Barry Warsaw ea66abc6e2 Cleaned up the examples. 2002-10-01 04:48:06 +00:00

Greg Ward 02669a35bc Tweak description of PortableUnixMailbox: "From " lines are actually 
quoted (or mangled) *at* delivery-time, not "well before" it.  (At least
that's how Exim and qmail work.)
 2002-09-23 19:32:42 +00:00
Thomas Heller c687401337 Fix typos: despatcher -> dispatcher. 2002-09-17 15:19:12 +00:00
Fred Drake c1ddc505d9 Minor revision to the "\\" patch, including updating the docs a little to 
accomodate the fact that they are more general now that they are for the
os.path module and not just posixpath.

This and the previous patch should be combined and applied to the 2.2-maint
branch.
 2002-09-12 18:01:26 +00:00
Skip Montanaro c12909bcc6 add note about os.path.join and drive letters on Windows. 2002-09-12 17:39:56 +00:00

 2002-09-12 14:16:07 +00:00
Fred Drake 73e8ebfc5a Revise text about the level of DOM support, and provide pointers to 
the work of the XML-SIG in the main body of the text.

Modify the markup in a few places to avoid wrapping lines in bad
places, and just general cleanliness.
 2002-09-11 22:03:47 +00:00

after the last checkin.
 2002-09-07 18:48:14 +00:00
Walter Dörwald 5ccaf8f129 Apply diff3.txt (plus additional documentation) 
from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/554192

This adds two new functions to mimetypes:
guess_all_extensions() which returns a list of all known
extensions for a mime type, and add_type() which adds one
mapping between a mime type and an extension.
 2002-09-06 16:15:58 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 2c519981fb update docs to reflect that \b considers underscore to be part of a word. 2002-09-06 14:38:23 +00:00

Michael W. Hudson 53d58bb369 Further SET_LINENO reomval fixes. See comments in patch #587933. 
Use a slightly different strategy to determine when not to call the line
trace function.  This removes the need for the RETURN_NONE opcode, so
that's gone again.  Update docs and comments to match.

Thanks to Neal and Armin!

Also add a test suite.  This should have come with the original patch...
 2002-08-30 13:09:51 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 9240be2a35 Note change in behavior from 1.5.2. The new argument to NameError is 
an error message and not just the missing name.

Closes SF Bug 599869.
 2002-08-27 23:53:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 80a04a4894 Add strong security warning about the rexec module. 
Closes SF patch #600861.

Minor markup changes.
 2002-08-27 16:46:06 +00:00
Tim Peters ea76c98014 Implemented <, <=, >, >= for sets, giving subset and proper-subset 
meanings.  I did not add new, e.g., ispropersubset() methods; we're
going nuts on those, and, e.g., there was no "friendly name" for
== either.
 2002-08-25 18:43:10 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 7ad09552d0 Correct documentation of allow_reuse_address to match the actual script. 
Closes SF bug 599681.
 2002-08-25 16:27:33 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger e87ab3fefe Removed < <= > >= from the API. Implemented as comparisons of the 
underlying dictionaries, there were no reasonable use cases (lexicographic
sorting of a list of sets is somewhat esoteric).  Frees the operators
for other uses (such as strict subset and superset comparisons).

Updated documentation and test suite accordingly.

Fred Drake 5b09eeea89 Clarify that even though some of the relevant specifications define the

Guido van Rossum 45ec02aed1 SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation of 
interning.  I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged.  Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.

Tim Peters 74824584ef Added new footnote about list.sort() stability. Repaired footnote about 
using sort() with comparison functions (it made reference to the non-
existent "builtin-in function sort()").

BTW, I changed list.sort's docstring to contain the word "stable" -- the
easiest way to tell whether a particular Python version's sort *is* stable
is to look for "stable" in the docstring.  I'm not sure whether to
advertise this <wink>.

Fred Drake 5b11bdd0ed SF patch #581414: info reader bug 
The "Matching vs. Searching" Info node is unreachable from the Info

it.  This is the only occurrence where the info reader fails, so
probably it could be addressed in the python docs as a workaround.

Guido van Rossum 11ba094957 Major overhaul of timeout sockets: 
- setblocking(0) and settimeout(0) are now equivalent, and ditto for
  setblocking(1) and settimeout(None).

- Don't raise an exception from internal_select(); let the final call
  report the error (this means you will get an EAGAIN error instead of
  an ETIMEDOUT error -- I don't care).

- Move the select to inside the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS brackets,
  so other theads can run (this was a bug in the original code).

- Redid the retry logic in connect() and connect_ex() to avoid masking
  errors.  This probably doesn't work for Windows yet; I'll fix that
  next.  It may also fail on other platforms, depending on what
  retrying a connect does; I need help with this.

- Get rid of the retry logic in accept().  I don't think it was needed
  at all.  But I may be wrong.

Guido van Rossum be946bfea7 SF patch 555085 (timeout socket implementation) by Michael Gilfix. 
I've made considerable changes to Michael's code, specifically to use
the select() system call directly and to store the timeout as a C
double instead of a Python object; internally, -1.0 (or anything
negative) represents the None from the API.

I'm not 100% sure that all corner cases are covered correctly, so
please keep an eye on this.  Next I'm going to try it Windows before
Tim complains.

No way is this a bugfix candidate. :-)

Guido van Rossum 59b2a74c75 SF bug 533625 (Armin Rigo). rexec: potential security hole 
If a rexec instance allows writing in the current directory (a common
thing to do), there's a way to execute bogus bytecode.  Fix this by
not allowing imports from .pyc files (in a way that allows a site to
configure things so that .pyc files *are* allowed, if writing is not
allowed).

I'll apply this to 2.2 and 2.1 too.
