The maxsplit functionality in .splitlines() was replaced by the keepends
functionality which allows keeping the line end markers together
with the string.
Added support for '%r' % obj: this inserts repr(obj) rather
than str(obj).
* string_contains now calls PyUnicode_Contains() only when the other
operand is a Unicode string (not whenever it's not a string).
* New format style '%r' inserts repr(arg) instead of str(arg).
* '...%s...' % u"abc" now coerces to Unicode just like
string methods. Care is taken not to reevaluate already formatted
arguments -- only the first Unicode object appearing in the
argument mapping is looked up twice. Added test cases for
this to test_unicode.py.
Attached you find an update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version. I would appreciate
if someone with CVS checkin permissions could check the changes
in.
The patch contains all bugs and patches sent this week and also
fixes a leak in the codecs code and a bug in the free list code
for Unicode objects (which only shows up when compiling Python
with Py_DEBUG; thanks to MarkH for spotting this one).
specifier came from an int expression instead of a constant in the
format, a negative width was truncated to zero instead of taken to
mean the same as that negative constant plugged into the format. E.g.
"(%*s)" % (-5, "foo") yielded "(foo)" while "(%-5s)" yields "(foo )".
Now both yield the latter -- like sprintf() in C.
arbitrary nested parens in a %(...)X style format.
#Also folded two lines and added more detail to the error message for
#unsupported format character.
from the interned table. There are references in hard-to-find static
variables all over the interpreter, and it's not worth trying to get
rid of all those; but "uninterning" isn't fair either and may cause
subtle failures later -- so we have to keep them in the interned
table.
Also get rid of no-longer-needed insert of None in interned dict.
entirely redone operator overloading. The rules for class
instances are now much more relaxed than for other built-in types
(whose coerce must still return two objects of the same type)
* Objects/floatobject.c: add overflow check when converting float
to int and implement truncation towards zero using ceil/float
* Objects/longobject.c: change ValueError to OverflowError when
converting to int
* Objects/rangeobject.c: modernized
* Objects/stringobject.c: use HAVE_LIMITS instead of __STDC__
* Objects/xxobject.c: changed to use new style (not finished?)
image objects, and lots of new methods.
* Added counting of allocations and deallocations of builtin types if
COUNT_ALLOCS is defined. Had to move calls to NEWREF down in some
files.
* Bug fix in sorting lists.
Added $(SYSDEF) to its build rule in Makefile.
* cgensupport.[ch], modsupport.[ch]: removed some old stuff. Also
changed files that still used it... And made several things static
that weren't but should have been... And other minor cleanups...
* listobject.[ch]: add external interfaces {set,get}listslice
* socketmodule.c: fix bugs in new send() argument parsing.
* sunaudiodevmodule.c: added flush() and close().
