Tim Peters 1de41bfbc0 Stop trying to cater to platforms with a broken HUGE_VAL definition. It
breaks other platforms (in this case, the hack for broken Cray systems in
turn caused failure on a Mac system broken in a different way).

Guido van Rossum 63517577fd Patch from SF bug 570483 (Tim Northover).
In a fresh interpreter, type.mro(tuple) would segfault, because
PyType_Ready() isn't called for tuple yet.  To fix, call
PyType_Ready(type) if type->tp_dict is NULL.

Walter Dörwald 3430d70e03 Apply diff2.txt from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/566999
This patch enhances Python/import.c/find_module() so
that unicode objects found in sys.path will be treated
as legal directory names (The current code ignores
anything that is not a str). The unicode name is
converted to str using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding.

Guido van Rossum 9562bcf3bc Add Oren Tirosh and news about his patch. 2002-06-14 21:31:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bea18ccde6 SF patch 568629 by Oren Tirosh: types made callable.
These built-in functions are replaced by their (now callable) type:

    slice()
    buffer()

and these types can also be called (but have no built-in named
function named after them)

    classobj (type name used to be "class")
    code
    function
    instance
    instancemethod (type name used to be "instance method")

The module "new" has been replaced with a small backward compatibility
placeholder in Python.

A large portion of the patch simply removes the new module from
various platform-specific build recipes.  The following binary Mac
project files still have references to it:

    Mac/Build/PythonCore.mcp
    Mac/Build/PythonStandSmall.mcp
    Mac/Build/PythonStandalone.mcp

[I've tweaked the code layout and the doc strings here and there, and
added a comment to types.py about StringTypes vs. basestring.  --Guido]

Skip Montanaro 57454e57f8 This introduces stricter library/header file checking for the Berkeley DB
library.  Since multiple versions can be installed simultaneously, it's
crucial that you only select libraries and header files which are compatible
with each other.  Version checking is done from highest version to lowest.
Building using version 1 of Berkeley DB is disabled by default because of
the hash file bugs people keep rediscovering.  It can be enabled by
uncommenting a few lines in setup.py.  Closes patch 553108.

Guido van Rossum c5fe5eb8d2 SF bug 567538: Generator can crash the interpreter (Finn Bock).
This was a simple typo.  Strange that the compiler didn't catch it!
Instead of WHY_CONTINUE, two tests used CONTINUE_LOOP, which isn't a
why_code at all, but an opcode; but even though 'why' is declared as
an enum, comparing it to an int is apparently not even worth a
warning -- not in gcc, and not in VC++. :-(

Will fix in 2.2 too.

Michael W. Hudson 5efaf7eac8 This is my nearly two year old patch

Guido van Rossum 9923ffe2c0 Address SF bug 519621: slots weren't traversed by GC.
While I was at it, I added a tp_clear handler and changed the
tp_dealloc handler to use the clear_slots helper for the tp_clear
handler.

Also tightened the rules for slot names: they must now be proper
identifiers (ignoring the dirty little fact that <ctype.h> is locale
sensitive).

Also set mp->flags = READONLY for the __weakref__ pseudo-slot.

Most of this is a 2.2 bugfix candidate; I'll apply it there myself.

Walter Dörwald 474458da48 Add constants BOM_UTF8, BOM_UTF16, BOM_UTF16_LE, BOM_UTF16_BE,
BOM_UTF32, BOM_UTF32_LE and BOM_UTF32_BE that represent the Byte
Order Mark in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings for little and
big endian systems.

The old names BOM32_* and BOM64_* were off by a factor of 2.

This closes SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/555360
2002-06-04 15:16:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2e4e02620b Surprising fix for SF bug 563060: module can be used as base class.
Change the module constructor (module_init) to have the signature
__init__(name:str, doc=None); this prevents the call from type_new()
to succeed.  While we're at it, prevent repeated calling of
module_init for the same module from leaking the dict, changing the
semantics so that __dict__ is only initialized if NULL.

Also adding a unittest, test_module.py.

This is an incompatibility with 2.2, if anybody was instantiating the
module class before, their argument list was probably empty; so this
can't be backported to 2.2.x.

Guido van Rossum cacfc07d08 - A new type object, 'string', is added. This is a common base type
for 'str' and 'unicode', and can be used instead of
  types.StringTypes, e.g. to test whether something is "a string":
  isinstance(x, string) is True for Unicode and 8-bit strings.  This
  is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated directly.

Tim Peters 46c04e140c random.gauss() uses a piece of hidden state used by nothing else,
and the .seed() and .whseed() methods failed to reset it.  In other
words, setting the seed didn't completely determine the sequence of
results produced by random.gauss().  It does now.  Programs repeatedly
mixing calls to a seed method with calls to gauss() may see different
results now.

Bugfix candidate (random.gauss() has always been broken in this way),
despite that it may change results.

Tim Peters 81b9251d59 Mostly in SequenceMatcher.{__chain_b, find_longest_match}:
This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently
repeated as to constitute noise.  The primary benefit is an enormous
speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors
of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the
sequences have many duplicate elements.  In effect, this zooms in on
sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now.

While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider
this experimental.  Please give it a try!

Guido van Rossum 7dab2426ca - New builtin function enumerate(x), from PEP 279. Example:

  The argument can be an arbitrary iterable object.
2002-04-26 19:40:56 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 17afa13a9f (py-comint-output-filter-function): Put the pop-to-buffer call inside
the `when' condition so other non-Python shell comint changes won't
cause random buffers to pop.
2002-04-26 15:49:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 517c7d4fd3 PyNumber_CoerceEx: this took a shortcut (not doing anything) when the
left and right type were of the same type and not classic instances.

This shortcut is dangerous for proxy types, because it means that
coerce(Proxy(1), Proxy(2.1)) leaves Proxy(1) unchanged rather than
turning it into Proxy(1.0).

In an ever-so-slight change of semantics, I now only take the shortcut
when the left and right types are of the same type and don't have the
CHECKTYPES feature.  It so happens that classic instances have this
flag, so the shortcut is still skipped in this case (i.e. nothing
changes for classic instances).  Proxies also have this flag set
(otherwise implementing numeric operations on proxies would become
nightmarish) and this means that the shortcut is also skipped there,
as desired.  It so happens that int, long and float also have this
flag set; that means that e.g. coerce(1, 1) will now invoke
int_coerce().  This is fine: int_coerce() can deal with this, and I'm
not worried about the performance; int_coerce() is only invoked when
the user explicitly calls coerce(), which should be rarer than rare.

Barry Warsaw cf22c826a6 Fix typo in the setup of interpreter-mode-alist. 2002-04-25 21:46:33 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 884916112e SF patch #510288 by Kevin J. Butler, mod'd by Barry. This provides
better auto-recognition of a Jython file vs. a CPython (or agnostic)
file by looking at the #! line more closely, and inspecting the import
statements in the first 20000 bytes (configurable).  Specifically,

(py-import-check-point-max): New variable, controlling how far into
the buffer it will search for import statements.

(py-jpython-packages): List of package names that are Jython-ish.

(py-shell-alist): List of #! line programs and the modes associated
with them.

(jpython-mode-hook): Extra hook that runs when entering jpython-mode
(what about Jython mode? <20k wink>).

(py-choose-shell-by-shebang, py-choose-shell-by-import,
py-choose-shell): New functions.

(python-mode): Use py-choose-shell.

(jpython-mode): New command.

(py-execute-region): Don't use my previous hacky attempt at doing
this, use the new py-choose-shell function.

One other thing this file now does: it attempts to add the proper
hooks to interpreter-mode-alist and auto-mode-alist if they aren't
already there.  Might help with Emacs users since that editor doesn't
come with python-mode by default.

Barry Warsaw 4aab68e1c1 (py-execute-region): Alexander Schmolck points out that leading

Barry Warsaw 13caba30b8 (py-comint-output-filter-function): Add a pop-to-buffer call so you

make lookups in the Info documentation easier.

Barry Warsaw 0494955b8f Merge in Skip's last few updates w.r.t. py-help-at-point:
(py-mode-map): Bind py-help-at-point to f1 as well as C-c C-h

(py-help-at-point): Make sure the symbol is quoted so things like
pydoc.help('sys.platform') work correctly.  Also, leave the *Python

2002-04-22 22:05:49 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 29a90f0a7a Some contributions and ideas by Alexander Schmolck: add a keybinding
to call pychecker on the current file, add a face for pseudo
keywords self, None, True, False, and Ellipsis.  Specifically,

(py-pychecker-command, py-pychecker-command-args): New variables.

(py-pseudo-keyword-face): New face variable, defaulting to a copy of
font-lock-keyword-face.

(python-font-lock-keywords): Add an entry for self, None, True, False,
Ellipsis to be rendered in py-pseudo-keyword-face.

(py-pychecker-history): New variable.

(py-mode-map): Bind C-c C-w to py-pychecker-run.

(py-pychecker-run): New command.

Barry Warsaw a7cc43b9e8 Skip Montanaro's contribution (slightly mod'd by Barry) to provide a
"help-on-symbol-at-point" feature which uses pydoc to provide help on
the symbol under point, if available.

Mods include some name changes, a port to Emacs, binding the command
to C-c C-h, and providing a more informative error message if the
symbol's help can't be found (through use of a nasty bare except).

Note also that py-describe-mode has been moved off of C-c C-h m; it's
now just available on C-c ?

Closes SF patch #545439.
2002-04-22 17:15:19 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a0113cd5cd (py-execute-region): If the line at the beginning of the region is a
#! line, use the command on that line as the shell command to use to
execute the region.  I.e. if the region looks like

----------------
#! /usr/bin/env python1.5

print 'hello world'.startswith('hello')
----------------

you'll get an exception! :)

This closes SF bug #232398.
2002-04-22 16:23:29 +00:00
Barry Warsaw b2d5e62d65 (py-execute-region): If you ran this without having visited a
python-mode file, py-which-shell would have been nil and the command
to use would not get set correctly.  This changes things so that 1)
the temporary file has a .py extension, 2) the temporary file is put
into python-mode, and 3) the temporary file's py-which-shell is
captured in a local `shell' variable, which is used to calculate the
command to use.  Closes SF bug #545436.

(py-parse-state): Rip out the XEmacs-specific calls to
buffer-syntactic-context, which can get quite confused if there's an
open paren in column zero say, embedded in a triple quoted string.
This was always a performance hack anyway, and computers are fast
enough now that we should be able to get away with the slower, more
portable, full-parse branch.  Closes SF bug #451841.

Martin v. Löwis 688357e035 Patch #512005: getrusage() returns struct-like object. 2002-04-08 21:28:20 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0986d8250f - A type can now inherit its metatype from its base type. Previously,
when PyType_Ready() was called, if ob_type was found to be NULL, it
  was always set to &PyType_Type; now it is set to base->ob_type,
  where base is tp_base, defaulting to &PyObject_Type.

- PyType_Ready() accidentally did not inherit tp_is_gc; now it does.

Bugfix candidate.
