When completing a simple identifier, it completes keywords, built-ins
and globals in __main__; when completing NAME.NAME..., it evaluates
(!) the expression up to the last dot and completes its attributes.
It's very cool to do "import string" type "string.", hit the
completion key (twice), and see the list of names defined by the
string module!
Tip: to use the tab key as the completion key, call
readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
- Don't use "from copy_reg import *".
- Use cls.__module__ instead of calling whichobject(cls, cls.__name__);
also try __module__ in whichmodule(), just in case.
- After calling save_reduce(), add the object to the memo.
instance, use inst.__dict__.update(value) instead of a for loop with
setattr() over the value.keys(). This is more consistent (the
pickling doesn't use getattr() either but pickles inst.__dict__) and
avoids problems with instances that have a __setattr__ hook.
But it *is* a semantic change (because the setattr hook is no longer
used). So beware!
errors are handled (these gave ``TypeError: not enough arguments'').
Also changed its __str__() to correct a typo (missing self.) and
return str(self.msg) to ensure the result is always string.
Also changed the default __str__ to simply return str(self.args).
(though some type names are undefined in that case, e.g. CodeType
(inaccessible), FileType (not always accessible), and TracebackType
and FrameType (inaccessible).
Sjoerd: add separate administration of temporary files created y
URLopener.retrieve() so cleanup can properly remove them. The old
code removed everything in tempcache which was a bad idea if the user
had passed a non-temp file into it. (I added a line to delete the
tempcache in cleanup() -- it still seems to make sense.)
Jack: in basejoin(), interpret relative paths starting in "../". This
is necessary if the server uses symbolic links.
that multiple retrievals using the same connection will work.
This leaves open the more general problem that after
f = urlopen("ftp://...")
f must be closed before another retrieval from the same host should be
attempted.
the memo) to avoid a certain kind of nasty crash. (Not easily
reproducable because it requires a later call to __getinitargs__() to
return a tuple that happens to be allocated at the same address.)
default and -v. In default mode, the name of each test is printed.
-v is the same as the old -vv. -q is more quiet than the old default
mode; that's fine I think.
