[ 1009560 ] Fix @decorator evaluation order
From the description:
Changes in this patch:
- Change Grammar/Grammar to require
newlines between adjacent decorators.
- Fix order of evaluation of decorators
in the C (compile.c) and python
(Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py) compilers
- Add better order of evaluation check
to test_decorators.py (test_eval_order)
- Update the decorator documentation in
the reference manual (improve description
of evaluation order and update syntax
description)
and the comment:
Used Brett's evaluation order (see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/047835.html )

Bug 1003935: xrange overflows
...
Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function
is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing.
Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New(). This fixes a variety
of bogus errors. Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now.
Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that
CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to
native C longs.
Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that
relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.

SF #989185 : Drop unicode.iswide() and unicode.width() and add
...
unicodedata.east_asian_width(). You can still implement your own
simple width() function using it like this:
def width(u):
w = 0
for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2
else: w += 1
return w

This allows additional commands to be provided for existing setup.py
...
scripts without modifying either the distutils installation or the
setup.py scripts of packages with which the new commands will be used.
Specifically, an option is added to distutils that allows additional
packages to be searched for command implementations in addition to
distutils.command. The additional packages can be specified on the
command line or via the installation or personal configuration files
already loaded by distutils.
For discussion, see the thread starting with:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2004-August/004112.html
This closes SF patch #102241 .
