Raymond Hettinger 8ef9b3e527 SF bug #1082944: Incorrect docs for PyUnicode_TailMatch
* Note correct return type is int.
* Note that -1 returned on failure.

Marc-André Lemburg a9cadcd41b Correct the handling of 0-termination of PyUnicode_AsWideChar()
and its usage in PyLocale_strcoll().

Clarify the documentation on this.

Thanks to Andreas Degert for pointing this out.

Tim Peters 7f468f29f4 SF patch 1044089: New C API function PyEval_ThreadsInitialized(), by Nick

Also purged the undocumented+unused _PyThread_Started int.

Walter Dörwald 69652035bc SF patch #998993: The UTF-8 and the UTF-16 stateful decoders now support
decoding incomplete input (when the input stream is temporarily exhausted).
codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper
readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read()
has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to
return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines()
have a new argument keepends. Trailing "\n"s will be stripped from the lines
if keepends is false. Added C APIs PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful and
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16Stateful.

Hye-Shik Chang e9ddfbb412 SF #989185: Drop unicode.iswide() and unicode.width() and add
unicodedata.east_asian_width().  You can still implement your own
simple width() function using it like this:
    def width(u):
        w = 0
        for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
            cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
            if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2
            else: w += 1
        return w

Tim Peters cfd575d398 PyImport_ImportModule, PyImport_ImportModuleEx, PyImport_ExecCodeModule:
in failure cases, incompletely initalized module objects are no longer
left behind in sys.modules.

Skip Montanaro 6d3db7000e Add missing doc for Py_True/Py_False. Use the correct macro to define
Py_RETURN_FALSE and Py_RETURN_TRUE.

Skip Montanaro 33ee76ae9e A little boolean music if you please, maestro... (Not sure I have the

Thomas Heller fe0808382b Fix an uncorrect function prototype.
Will backport to release23-maint.

BTW: Shouldn't it read PY_LONG_LONG instead of 'long long' ?

Tim Peters 8ff9f9f4aa Supply missing word in new datetime docs, aggravated by copy-paste-edit. 2004-07-17 01:42:26 +00:00
Tim Peters eda29306b3 Formalize that the Py_VISIT macro requires that the tp_traverse
implementation it's used in must give its arguments specific names.
2004-07-15 04:05:59 +00:00
Jim Fulton aa6389e13b Documented the new Py_VISIT macro to simplify implementation of
tp_traverse handlers. (Tim made me do it. ;)
2004-07-14 19:08:17 +00:00
Jim Fulton 8c5aeaa277 Implemented a new Py_CLEAR macro. This macro should be used when
decrementing the refcount of variables that might be accessed as a
result of calling Python
2004-07-14 19:07:35 +00:00
Tim Peters e45d5a3b00 Claifications: visit procs are supplied by the core, users aren't
expected to write their own.  A NULL "object" must not be passed to
the visit callback.  A non-zero return from a visit proc isn't
necessarily an error return (and it doesn't matter to the tp_traverse
code *what* it might signify, their only job is to return it).

Tim Peters 183dabcd73 SF patch 986010: add missing doc for datetime C API, from
Anthony Tuininga.

This is a derived patch, taking the opportunity to add some organization
to the now-large pile of datetime-related macros, and to factor out
tedious repeated text.

Also improved some clumsy wording in NEWS.

Brett Cannon 711e7d97e4 Add PyArg_VaParseTupleAndKeywords(). Document this function and

Brett Cannon d88471f432 Change signatures for arguments to "s" and friends to be the proper ``const
char *`` instead of just ``char *``.  Also added the mentioning of "const" in
some places where it was left out even when the signature already stated the
fact.

Closes bug #980925.

Andrew M. Kuchling 6d3a0d2dff [Bug #948970] Add PyExc_* symbols to index.

verified that the changes are accepted by LaTeX.)

Tim Peters 9ddf40b4e1 SF patch 876130: add C API to datetime module, from Anthony Tuininga.
The LaTeX is untested (well, so is the new API, for that matter).
Note that I also changed NULL to get spelled consistently in concrete.tex.
If that was a wrong thing to do, Fred should yell at me.

Hye-Shik Chang 974ed7cfa5 - SF #962502: Add two more methods for unicode type; width() and
iswide() for east asian width manipulation. (Inspired by David
Goodger, Reviewed by Martin v. Loewis)
- Move _PyUnicode_TypeRecord.flags to the end of the struct so that
no padding is added for UCS-4 builds. (Suggested by Martin v. Loewis)

Nicholas Bastin e9c2ecfb96 Removed 'U' from the documentation for Py_BuildValue to bring it in line
with the elimination of 'U' in modsupport.c on 2000/04/28 (replaced
with 'u' and 'u#' per fdrake's comments).
2004-05-04 19:25:56 +00:00
Thomas Heller 1328b52c6f Two new public API functions, Py_IncRef and Py_DecRef. Useful for
