though 'licence' is still supported for backward-compatibility
(Should I add a warning to get_licence(), or not bother?)
Also fixes an UnboundLocalError noticed by PyChecker
This closes SF patch #428320.
Added documentation for the new floordiv() and truediv() functions.
This is part of SF bug #449093.
Re-organized the listing of functions to get better logical grouping.
bug #449000, "re.sub(r'\n', ...) broke". This was Fredrik's
suggestion -- he's on vacation and said he wouldn't be able to work on
this until next week.
Removed all instances of Py_UCS2 from the codebase, and so also (I hope)
the last remaining reliance on the platform having an integral type
with exactly 16 bits.
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16() and PyUnicode_EncodeUTF16() now read and write
one byte at a time.
bit. For one, this class:
class C(object):
def __new__(myclass, ...): ...
would have no way to call the __new__ method of its base class, and
the workaround (to create an intermediate base class whose __new__ you
can call) is ugly.
So, I've come up with a better solution that restores object.__new__,
but still solves the original problem, which is that built-in and
extension types shouldn't inherit object.__new__. The solution is
simple: only "heap types" inherit tp_new. Simpler, less code,
perfect!
Previously, f.read() and f.readlines() checked for
errors on their file object and possibly raised an
IOError, but f.readline() didn't. This patch makes
f.readline() behave like the others.
Note that I've added a call to clearerr() since the other calls to
ferror() include that too.
I have no way to test this code. :-)
For local files urllib.py doesn't return the MIME
headers that the documentation says it does:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-
urllib.html#l2h-2187 states that "When the method is
local-file, returned headers will include a Date
representing the file's last-modified time, a Content-
Length giving file size, and a Content-Type containing
a guess at the file's type"
But in Python 2.1 the only header that gets returned
is the Content-Type:
>>> import urllib
>>> f = urllib.urlopen("gurk.txt")
>>> f.info().headers
['Content-Type: text/plain\n']
Python's logolike module turtle.py did not display
the turtle except when actually drawing lines.
This patch changes the turtle.py module so that
it displays the turtle at all times when tracing is
on. This is similar to the the way that logo works.
When tracing is off the turtle will not be displayed.
