The test needs to be skipped if unicodedata is either part of the
main binary (a repackaging of cpython on Windows?) or has python
source (pypy?). PEP 3147 makes __file__ point to the .py source,
so we need to change the extension check from looking for the
old .pyc/.pyo to just looking for .py.
Note that this skip should never trigger on CPython itself, so
one could argue it should be dropped instead. But since it exists,
why risk breaking someone else's python.
The new syntax is highly human readable while still preventing false
positives. The syntax also extends Python syntax to denote "self" and
positional-only parameters, allowing inspect.Signature objects to be
totally accurate for all supported builtins in Python 3.4.
PyMethodDescr_Type, _PyMethodWrapper_Type, and PyWrapperDescr_Type)
have been modified to provide introspection information for builtins.
Also: many additional Lib, test suite, and Argument Clinic fixes.
* You may now specify an expression as the default value for a
parameter! Example: "sys.maxsize - 1". This support is
intentionally quite limited; you may only use values that
can be represented as static C values.
* Removed "doc_default", simplified support for "c_default"
and "py_default". (I'm not sure we still even need
"py_default", but I'm leaving it in for now in case a
use presents itself.)
* Parameter lines support a trailing '\\' as a line
continuation character, allowing you to break up long lines.
* The argument parsing code generated when supporting optional
groups now uses PyTuple_GET_SIZE instead of PyTuple_GetSize,
leading to a 850% speedup in parsing. (Just kidding, this
is an unmeasurable difference.)
* A bugfix for the recent regression where the generated
prototype from pydoc for builtins would be littered with
unreadable "=<object ...>"" default values for parameters
that had no default value.
* Converted some asserts into proper failure messages.
* Many doc improvements and fixes.
Okay, hopefully the very last patch for this issue. :/
I realized when playing with Enum that the metaclass attributes weren't always displayed properly.
New patch properly locates DynamicClassAttributes, virtual class attributes (returned by __getattr__ and friends), and metaclass class attributes (if they are also in the metaclass __dir__ method).
Also had to change one line in pydoc to get this to work.
Added tests in test_inspect and test_pydoc to cover these situations.
Order of search is now:
1. Try getattr
2. If that throws an exception, check __dict__ directly
3. If still not found, walk the mro looking for the eldest class that has
the attribute (e.g. things returned by __getattr__)
4. If none of that works (e.g. due to a buggy __dir__, __getattr__, etc.
method or missing __slot__ attribute), ignore the attribute entirely.
inspect.getmembers and inspect.classify_class_attrs now search the metaclass
mro for types.DynamicClassAttributes (what use to be called
enum._RouteClassAttributeToGetattr); in part this means that these two
functions no longer rely solely on dir().
Besides now returning more accurate information, these improvements also
allow a more helpful help() on Enum classes.
