Benjamin Peterson 7fe9853596 make 'c' only accept bytes and 'C' only unicode #5499 2009-04-02 00:33:55 +00:00
Christian Heimes a37d4c693a Removed PyInt_GetMax and sys.maxint
I replaced sys.maxint with sys.maxsize in Lib/*.py. Does anybody see a problem with the change on Win 64bit platforms? Win 64's long is just 32bit but the sys.maxsize is now 2**63-1 on every 64bit platform.
Also added docs for sys.maxsize.

Guido van Rossum 98297ee781 Merging the py3k-pep3137 branch back into the py3k branch.
No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch.  The most obvious changes:

  - str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
  - bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
  - PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.

I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.

The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like.  Some changes are still on the to-do list.

Gregory P. Smith 60d241f135 For PEP3137: Adds missing methods to the mutable PyBytes object (soon
to be called a buffer).  Shares code with stringobject when possible.
Adds unit tests with common code that should be usable to test the PEPs
mutable buffer() and immutable bytes() types.
