* Speed-up "x in y" where x has more than one character.
The existing code made excessive calls to the expensive memcmp() function.
The new code uses memchr() to rapidly find a start point for memcmp().
In addition to knowing that the first character is a match, the new code
also checks that the last character is a match. This significantly reduces
the incidence of false starts (saving memcmp() calls and making quadratic
behavior less likely).
Improves the timings on:
python -m timeit -r7 -s"x='a'*1000" "'ab' in x"
python -m timeit -r7 -s"x='a'*1000" "'bc' in x"
Once this code has proven itself, then string_find_internal() should refer
to it rather than running its own version. Also, something similar may
apply to unicode objects.
Thanks to Robert Dick <dickrp@ece.northwestern.edu> for reporting this bug
and submitting a patch.
Adjust doc(object) to display useful documentation for plain values (e.g.
help([]) now shows the methods on the list instead of just printing "[]").
(This change has been tested interactively, by generating docs for the
standard library, and by running the module documentation webserver.)
[ 1124295 ] Function's __name__ no longer accessible in restricted mode
which I introduced with a bit of mindless copy-paste when making
__name__ writable. You can't assign to __name__ in restricted mode,
which I'm going to pretend was intentional :)
_some_ user-defined class instance. That it was also an exception isn't
interesting, but does interfere with Michael Hudson's new-style exception
patch. This just changes the doctest example, to use an instance of a
non-exception class.
* Use +=
* Replace loop logic with str.splitlines equivalent
* Don't use variable names that shadow tuple, list, and str
* Use dict.get instead of equivalent try/except
* Minor loop logic simplications
has never worked and no one has complained. It is still possible to set a
default tabs (v. spaces) indent 'manually' via config-main.def (or to turn on
tabs for the current EditorWindow via the Format menu) but IDLE will encourage
indentation via spaces.
Enable setting the indentation width using the Options dialog.
Bug # 783877
Remove some commented out old code from configDialog.py (related to old
methods for invoking the HelpBrowser).
