This work is substantially Anthony Baxter's, from issue
1633807. I just freshened it, made a few minor tweaks,
and added the test cases. I also created issue 2412,
which is to check for 2to3's behavior with the print
function. I also added myself to ACKS.
Added 0b and 0o literals to tokenizer.
Modified PyOS_strtoul to support 0b and 0o inputs.
Modified PyLong_FromString to support guessing 0b and 0o inputs.
Renamed test_hexoct.py to test_int_literal.py and added binary tests.
Added upper and lower case 0b, 0O, and 0X tests to test_int_literal.py
Added "Z" format_char to PyOS_ascii_formatd to support empty float presentation type.
Renamed buf_size in PyOS_ascii_formatd to more accurately reflect it's meaning.
Modified format.__float__ to use the new "Z" format as the default.
Added test cases.
assert (0, 'message')
An empty tuple does not create a warning. While questionable usage:
assert (), 'message'
should not display a warning. Tested manually.
The warning message could be improved. Feel free to update it.
would give bogus error messages, because of untested exceptions::
>>> f(**g(1=2))
XXX undetected error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable
instead of the expected SyntaxError: keyword can't be an expression
Will backport.
My tests don't show the promised speed up of 10%. The code is as fast as the old code for simple cases and slightly faster for complex cases with several of args and kwargs. But the patch simplifies the code, too.
Highlights:
- Adding PyObject_Format.
- Adding string.Format class.
- Adding __format__ for str, unicode, int, long, float, datetime.
- Adding builtin format.
- Adding ''.format and u''.format.
- str/unicode fixups for formatters.
The files in Objects/stringlib that implement PEP 3101 (stringdefs.h,
unicodedefs.h, formatter.h, string_format.h) are identical in trunk
and py3k. Any changes from here on should be made to trunk, and
changes will propogate to py3k).
The mapping between bytecode offsets and source lines (lnotab) did not contain
an entry for the beginning of the loop.
Now it does, and the lnotab can be a bit larger:
in particular, several statements on the same line generate several entries.
However, this does not bother the settrace function, which will trigger only
one 'line' event.
The lnotab seems to be exactly the same as with python2.4.
I implemented the function sys._compact_freelists() and C API functions PyInt_/PyFloat_CompactFreeList() to compact the pre-allocated blocks of ints and floats. They allow the user to reduce the memory usage of a Python process that deals with lots of numbers.
The patch also renames sys._cleartypecache to sys._clear_type_cache
