Walter Dörwald f171540ab8 Change int() so that passing a string, unicode, float or long argument

This fixes SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/635115

2002-11-18 09:01:24 +00:00
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.

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.

Walter Dörwald 430b1563dd Add documentation for the PEP 293 functionality:
The errors attribute can be changed after the reader/writer
is created.

For encoding there are two additional errors values:

These values can be extended via register_error().
