bf5a774bcb
On int/long to the negative int/long power, let float handle it
...
instead of raising an error. This was one of the two issues that the
VPython folks were particularly problematic for their students. (The
other one was integer division...) This implements (my) SF patch
#440487 .
2001-07-12 11:27:16 +00:00
e304bb9eec
First version of xmlrpclib docs. Probably has markup errors; is not complete,
...
could probably stand to have some of the internal things like Marshaller
documented. But I think it does a decent job on the entry points and
externally visible things.
Fred and Fredrik, do your stuff! You both need to proof this.
2001-07-12 02:39:45 +00:00
682d5f3cda

Note that the headers properly declare everything as 'extern "C"' for
C++ users.
Document _Py_NoneStruct.
Added links to the Extending & Embedding manual for PyArg_ParseTuple()
and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords().
Added note that PyArg_Parse() should not be used in new code.
Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.
2001-07-10 16:10:08 +00:00
12060e5ed3
Added descriptions for some modules that previously did not have any

information about them, based on comments from Jack Jansen.

432cef0d0b
Add new material on some markup that will be checked in shortly. This
...
includes some minor new inline markup and markup to generate hyperlinked
grammar productions.
Adopt a "style guide" document -- this beats writing our own and means
we'll have a chance at consistency, without having to make it all up
ourselves.
2001-07-06 22:34:33 +00:00
238858fc51
Packaged versions of the HTML format need to include any .txt files that

b5fc0ab099
Allow optional arguments to LaTeX macros to span lines. This is legal in

LaTeX and we have at least one occurance of that in the content, so this
script needs to support it as well.

3f56166b1a
Rip out the fancy behaviors of xrange that nobody uses: repeat, slice,
...
contains, tolist(), and the start/stop/step attributes. This includes
removing the 4th ('repeat') argument to PyRange_New().

4efb6e9643
Turns out Neil didn't intend for *all* of his gen-branch work to get
...
committed.
tokenize.py: I like these changes, and have tested them extensively
without even realizing it, so I just updated the docstring and the docs.
tabnanny.py: Also liked this, but did a little code fiddling. I should
really rewrite this to *exploit* generators, but that's near the bottom
of my effort/benefit scale so doubt I'll get to it anytime soon (it
would be most useful as a non-trivial example of ideal use of generators;
but test_generators.py has already grown plenty of food-for-thought
examples).
inspect.py: I'm sure Ping intended for this to continue running even
under 1.5.2, so I reverted this to the last pre-gen-branch version. The
"bugfix" I checked in in-between was actually repairing a bug *introduced*
by the conversion to generators, so it's OK that the reverted version
doesn't reflect that checkin.
2001-06-29 23:51:08 +00:00
88e66254f9
Use the more conventional "self" as the name of the self parameter in an

57e52ef076
Implement the \verbatiminput LaTeX macro; this contains more magic than

it should, but only enough that LaTeX2HTML doesn't bite us.

Added q/Q standard (x-platform 8-byte ints) mode in struct module.
...
This completes the q/Q project.
longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray: The original code had a gross bug:
the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT
significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign
bit it has else spurious overflow errors result.
test_struct.py: This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both

Add the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family of
...
functions -- these are not available on traditional Mac OS platforms.
Corrected the version annotations for the spawn*() functions and related
constants; these were added in Python 1.6, not 1.5.2.

Fixed parameter order for os.popen2(), os.popen3(), and os.popen(4). Added

Initial support for 'q' and 'Q' struct format codes: for now, only in
...
native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG. Standard mode
will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that
likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while
sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely
on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own;
I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long
to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP
conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8).
test_struct.py: In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests,
got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about
native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes).
libstruct.tex: In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed
later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior.

Users of PySequence_GET_FAST() should get the length of the sequence using

conceptual match.
