In the current\nimplementation, the built-in variable ``__debug__`` is ``True`` under\nnormal circumstances, ``False`` when optimization is requested\n(command line option -O). The current code generator emits no code\nfor an assert statement when optimization is requested at compile\ntime. Note that it is unnecessary to include the source code for the\nexpression that failed in the error message; it will be displayed as\npart of the stack trace.\n\nAssignments to ``__debug__`` are illegal. The value for the built-in\nvariable is determined when the interpreter starts.\n', 'assignment': u'\nAssignment statements\n*********************\n\nAssignment statements are used to (re)bind names to values and to\nmodify attributes or items of mutable objects:\n\n assignment_stmt ::= (target_list "=")+ (expression_list | yield_expression)\n target_list ::= target ("," target)* [","]\n target ::= identifier\n | "(" target_list ")"\n | "[" target_list "]"\n | attributeref\n | subscription\n | slicing\n\n(See section *Primaries* for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn assignment statement evaluates the expression list (remember that\nthis can be a single expression or a comma-separated list, the latter\nyielding a tuple) and assigns the single resulting object to each of\nthe target lists, from left to right.\n\nAssignment is defined recursively depending on the form of the target\n(list). When a target is part of a mutable object (an attribute\nreference, subscription or slicing), the mutable object must\nultimately perform the assignment and decide about its validity, and\nmay raise an exception if the assignment is unacceptable. The rules\nobserved by various types and the exceptions raised are given with the\ndefinition of the object types (see section *The standard type\nhierarchy*).\n\nAssignment of an object to a target list is recursively defined as\nfollows.\n\n* If the target list is a single target: The object is assigned to\n that target.\n\n* If the target list is a comma-separated list of targets: The object\n must be an iterable with the same number of items as there are\n targets in the target list, and the items are assigned, from left to\n right, to the corresponding targets. (This rule is relaxed as of\n Python 1.5; in earlier versions, the object had to be a tuple.\n Since strings are sequences, an assignment like ``a, b = "xy"`` is\n now legal as long as the string has the right length.)\n\nAssignment of an object to a single target is recursively defined as\nfollows.\n\n* If the target is an identifier (name):\n\n * If the name does not occur in a ``global`` statement in the\n current code block: the name is bound to the object in the current\n local namespace.\n\n * Otherwise: the name is bound to the object in the current global\n namespace.\n\n The name is rebound if it was already bound. This may cause the\n reference count for the object previously bound to the name to reach\n zero, causing the object to be deallocated and its destructor (if it\n has one) to be called.\n\n* If the target is a target list enclosed in parentheses or in square\n brackets: The object must be an iterable with the same number of\n items as there are targets in the target list, and its items are\n assigned, from left to right, to the corresponding targets.\n\n* If the target is an attribute reference: The primary expression in\n the reference is evaluated. It should yield an object with\n assignable attributes; if this is not the case, ``TypeError`` is\n raised. That object is then asked to assign the assigned object to\n the given attribute; if it cannot perform the assignment, it raises\n an exception (usually but not necessarily ``AttributeError``).\n\n Note: If the object is a class instance and the attribute reference\n occurs on both sides of the assignment operator, the RHS expression,\n ``a.x`` can access either an instance attribute or (if no instance\n attribute exists) a class attribute. The LHS target ``a.x`` is\n always set as an instance attribute, creating it if necessary.\n Thus, the two occurrences of ``a.x`` do not necessarily refer to the\n same attribute: if the RHS expression refers to a class attribute,\n the LHS creates a new instance attribute as the target of the\n assignment:\n\n class Cls:\n x = 3 # class variable\n inst = Cls()\n inst.x = inst.x + 1 # writes inst.x as 4 leaving Cls.x as 3\n\n This description does not necessarily apply to descriptor\n attributes, such as properties created with ``property()``.\n\n* If the target is a subscription: The primary expression in the\n reference is evaluated. It should yield either a mutable sequence\n object (such as a list) or a mapping object (such as a dictionary).\n Next, the subscript expression is evaluated.\n\n If the primary is a mutable sequence object (such as a list), the\n subscript must yield a plain integer. If it is negative, the\n sequence\'s length is added to it. The resulting value must be a\n nonnegative integer less than the sequence\'s length, and the\n sequence is asked to assign the assigned object to its item with\n that index. If the index is out of range, ``IndexError`` is raised\n (assignment to a subscripted sequence cannot add new items to a\n list).\n\n If the primary is a mapping object (such as a dictionary), the\n subscript must have a type compatible with the mapping\'s key type,\n and the mapping is then asked to create a key/datum pair which maps\n the subscript to the assigned object. This can either replace an\n existing key/value pair with the same key value, or insert a new\n key/value pair (if no key with the same value existed).\n\n* If the target is a slicing: The primary expression in the reference\n is evaluated. It should yield a mutable sequence object (such as a\n list). The assigned object should be a sequence object of the same\n type. Next, the lower and upper bound expressions are evaluated,\n insofar they are present; defaults are zero and the sequence\'s\n length. The bounds should evaluate to (small) integers. If either\n bound is negative, the sequence\'s length is added to it. The\n resulting bounds are clipped to lie between zero and the sequence\'s\n length, inclusive. Finally, the sequence object is asked to replace\n the slice with the items of the assigned sequence. The length of\n the slice may be different from the length of the assigned sequence,\n thus changing the length of the target sequence, if the object\n allows it.\n\n**CPython implementation detail:** In the current implementation, the\nsyntax for targets is taken to be the same as for expressions, and\ninvalid syntax is rejected during the code generation phase, causing\nless detailed error messages.\n\nWARNING: Although the definition of assignment implies that overlaps\nbetween the left-hand side and the right-hand side are \'safe\' (for\nexample ``a, b = b, a`` swaps two variables), overlaps *within* the\ncollection of assigned-to variables are not safe! For instance, the\nfollowing program prints ``[0, 2]``:\n\n x = [0, 1]\n i = 0\n i, x[i] = 1, 2\n print x\n\n\nAugmented assignment statements\n===============================\n\nAugmented assignment is the combination, in a single statement, of a\nbinary operation and an assignment statement:\n\n augmented_assignment_stmt ::= augtarget augop (expression_list | yield_expression)\n augtarget ::= identifier | attributeref | subscription | slicing\n augop ::= "+=" | "-=" | "*=" | "/=" | "//=" | "%=" | "**="\n | ">>=" | "<<=" | "&=" | "^=" | "|="\n\n(See section *Primaries* for the syntax definitions for the last three\nsymbols.)\n\nAn augmented assignment evaluates the target (which, unlike normal\nassignment statements, cannot be an unpacking) and the expression\nlist, performs the binary operation specific to the type of assignment\non the two operands, and assigns the result to the original target.\nThe target is only evaluated once.\n\nAn augmented assignment expression like ``x += 1`` can be rewritten as\n``x = x + 1`` to achieve a similar, but not exactly equal effect. In\nthe augmented version, ``x`` is only evaluated once. Also, when\npossible, the actual operation is performed *in-place*, meaning that\nrather than creating a new object and assigning that to the target,\nthe old object is modified instead.\n\nWith the exception of assigning to tuples and multiple targets in a\nsingle statement, the assignment done by augmented assignment\nstatements is handled the same way as normal assignments. Similarly,\nwith the exception of the possible *in-place* behavior, the binary\noperation performed by augmented assignment is the same as the normal\nbinary operations.\n\nFor targets which are attribute references, the same *caveat about\nclass and instance attributes* applies as for regular assignments.\n', 'atom-identifiers': u'\nIdentifiers (Names)\n*******************\n\nAn identifier occurring as an atom is a name. See section\n*Identifiers and keywords* for lexical definition and section *Naming\nand binding* for documentation of naming and binding.\n\nWhen the name is bound to an object, evaluation of the atom yields\nthat object. When a name is not bound, an attempt to evaluate it\nraises a ``NameError`` exception.\n\n**Private name mangling:** When an identifier that textually occurs in\na class definition begins with two or more underscore characters and\ndoes not end in two or more underscores, it is considered a *private\nname* of that class. Private names are transformed to a longer form\nbefore code is generated for them. The transformation inserts the\nclass name in front of the name, with leading underscores removed, and\na single underscore inserted in front of the class name. For example,\nthe identifier ``__spam`` occurring in a class named ``Ham`` will be\ntransformed to ``_Ham__spam``. This transformation is independent of\nthe syntactical context in which the identifier is used. If the\ntransformed name is extremely long (longer than 255 characters),\nimplementation defined truncation may happen. If the class name\nconsists only of underscores, no transformation is done.\n', From a12d0ccfbe189ba7f3ed99cb1feac69aa03d7fe0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Warsaw Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2012 10:59:35 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Bump to 2.6.8 --- Include/patchlevel.h | 6 +++--- Lib/distutils/__init__.py | 2 +- Lib/idlelib/idlever.py | 2 +- Misc/NEWS | 8 ++++++++ Misc/RPM/python-2.6.spec | 2 +- README | 4 ++-- 6 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/Include/patchlevel.h b/Include/patchlevel.h index 955e650075e..f5657527717 100644 --- a/Include/patchlevel.h +++ b/Include/patchlevel.h @@ -23,11 +23,11 @@ #define PY_MAJOR_VERSION 2 #define PY_MINOR_VERSION 6 #define PY_MICRO_VERSION 8 -#define PY_RELEASE_LEVEL PY_RELEASE_LEVEL_GAMMA -#define PY_RELEASE_SERIAL 2 +#define PY_RELEASE_LEVEL PY_RELEASE_LEVEL_FINAL +#define PY_RELEASE_SERIAL 0 /* Version as a string */ -#define PY_VERSION "2.6.8rc2" +#define PY_VERSION "2.6.8" /*--end constants--*/ /* Subversion Revision number of this file (not of the repository) */ diff --git a/Lib/distutils/__init__.py b/Lib/distutils/__init__.py index 141b377b949..e5008c97170 100644 --- a/Lib/distutils/__init__.py +++ b/Lib/distutils/__init__.py @@ -22,5 +22,5 @@ __revision__ = "$Id$" # #--start constants-- -__version__ = "2.6.8rc2" +__version__ = "2.6.8" #--end constants-- diff --git a/Lib/idlelib/idlever.py b/Lib/idlelib/idlever.py index 4acb8144945..92525ae32a7 100644 --- a/Lib/idlelib/idlever.py +++ b/Lib/idlelib/idlever.py @@ -1 +1 @@ -IDLE_VERSION = "2.6.8rc2" +IDLE_VERSION = "2.6.8" diff --git a/Misc/NEWS b/Misc/NEWS index a8e813df4ba..cdd3cf5d2c7 100644 --- a/Misc/NEWS +++ b/Misc/NEWS @@ -2,6 +2,14 @@ Python News +++++++++++ +What's New in Python 2.6.8? +=========================== + +*Release date: 2012-04-10* + +No changes since 2.6.8rc2. + + What's New in Python 2.6.8 rc 2? ================================ diff --git a/Misc/RPM/python-2.6.spec b/Misc/RPM/python-2.6.spec index 41471bb3b36..e80b952b969 100644 --- a/Misc/RPM/python-2.6.spec +++ b/Misc/RPM/python-2.6.spec @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ %define name python #--start constants-- -%define version 2.6.8rc2 +%define version 2.6.8 %define libvers 2.6 #--end constants-- %define release 1pydotorg diff --git a/README b/README index 56562852022..9cda7241106 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ -This is Python version 2.6.8 rc 2 -================================= +This is Python version 2.6.8 +============================ Copyright (c) 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 From 27509ce8d99d897579fb7bd333d471eceed9a87a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Warsaw Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:18:47 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Added tag v2.6.8 for changeset c9910fd022fc --- .hgtags | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/.hgtags b/.hgtags index bf95bf6e68b..5bcf0f04c32 100644 --- a/.hgtags +++ b/.hgtags @@ -139,3 +139,4 @@ e189dc8fd66154ef46d9cd22584d56669b544ca3 v2.6.6rc2 9f8771e0905277f8b3c2799113a062fda4164995 v2.6.6 caab08cd2b3eb5a6f78479b2513b65d36c754f41 v2.6.8rc1 1d1b7b9fad48bd0dc60dc8a06cca4459ef273127 v2.6.8rc2 +c9910fd022fc842e5578e1bf5a30ba55a37239fc v2.6.8
