- the correct range for the error message is range(0x110000);
- put the 4-byte Unicode-size code inside the same else branch as the
2-byte code, rather generating unreachable code in the 2-byte case.
- Don't hide the 'else' behine the '}'.
(I would prefer that in 4-byte mode, any value should be accepted, but
reasonable people can argue about that, so I'll put that off.)
Add configure option --enable-unicode.
Add config.h macros Py_USING_UNICODE, PY_UNICODE_TYPE, Py_UNICODE_SIZE,
SIZEOF_WCHAR_T.
Define Py_UCS2.
Encode and decode large UTF-8 characters into single Py_UNICODE values
for wide Unicode types; likewise for UTF-16.
Remove test whether sizeof Py_UNICODE is two.
NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
More AttributeErrors transmuted into TypeErrors, in test_b2.py, and,
again, this strikes me as a good thing.
This checkin completes the iterator generalization work that obviously
needed to be done. Can anyone think of others that should be changed?
NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
Possibly contentious: The first time s.next() yields StopIteration (for
a given map argument s) is the last time map() *tries* s.next(). That
is, if other sequence args are longer, s will never again contribute
anything but None values to the result, even if trying s.next() again
could yield another result. This is the same behavior map() used to have
wrt IndexError, so it's the only way to be wholly backward-compatible.
I'm not a fan of letting StopIteration mean "try again later" anyway.
Also a 2.1 bugfix candidate (am I supposed to do something with those?).
Took away map()'s insistence that sequences support __len__, and cleaned
up the convoluted code that made it *look* like it really cared about
__len__ (in fact the old ->len field was only *used* as a flag bit, as
the main loop only looked at its sign bit, setting the field to -1 when
IndexError got raised; renamed the field to ->saw_IndexError instead).
new slot tp_iter in type object, plus new flag Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITER
new C API PyObject_GetIter(), calls tp_iter
new builtin iter(), with two forms: iter(obj), and iter(function, sentinel)
new internal object types iterobject and calliterobject
new exception StopIteration
new opcodes for "for" loops, GET_ITER and FOR_ITER (also supported by dis.py)
new magic number for .pyc files
new special method for instances: __iter__() returns an iterator
iteration over dictionaries: "for x in dict" iterates over the keys
iteration over files: "for x in file" iterates over lines
TODO:
documentation
test suite
decide whether to use a different way to spell iter(function, sentinal)
decide whether "for key in dict" is a good idea
use iterators in map/filter/reduce, min/max, and elsewhere (in/not in?)
speed tuning (make next() a slot tp_next???)
Jeffery Collins pointed out that filterstring decrefs a character object
before it's done using it. This works by accident today because another
module always happens to have an active reference too at the time. The
accident doesn't work after his Pippy modifications, and since it *is*
an accident even in the mainline Python, it should work by design there too.
The patch accomplishes that.
If a module has a future statement enabling nested scopes, they are
also enable for the exec statement and the functions compile() and
execfile() if they occur in the module.
If Python is run with the -i option, which enters interactive mode
after executing a script, and the script it runs enables nested
scopes, they are also enabled in interactive mode.
XXX The use of -i with -c "from __future__ import nested_scopes" is
not supported. What's the point?
To support these changes, many function variants have been added to
pythonrun.c. All the variants names end with Flags and they take an
extra PyCompilerFlags * argument. It is possible that this complexity
will be eliminated in a future version of the interpreter in which
nested scopes are not optional.
except that it always returns Unicode objects.
A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.
This closes patch #101664.

- Make error messages from issubclass() and isinstance() a bit more
descriptive (Ping, modified by Guido)
- Couple of tiny fixes to other docstrings (Ping)
- Get rid of trailing whitespace (Guido)
Add definitions of INT_MAX and LONG_MAX to pyport.h.
Remove includes of limits.h and conditional definitions of INT_MAX
and LONG_MAX elsewhere.
This closes SourceForge patch #101659 and bug #115323.
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.
The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890.
As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.
PyRun_FileEx(). These are the same as their non-Ex counterparts but
have an extra argument, a flag telling them to close the file when
done.
Then this is used by Py_Main() and execfile() to close the file after
it is parsed but before it is executed.
Adding APIs seems strange given the feature freeze but it's the only
way I see to close the bug report without incompatible changes.
[ Bug #110616 ] source file stays open after parsing is done (PR#209)
scope. Previously, s_buffer[] was defined inside the
PyUnicode_Check() scope, but referred to in the outer scope via
assignment to s. This quiets an Insure portability warning.
accepted by the BDFL.
builtin_zip(): New function to implement the zip() function described
in the above proposal.
zip_doc[]: Docstring for zip().
builtin_methods[]: added entry for zip()
This adds support for instance to the constructor (instances
have to define __str__ and can return Unicode objects via that
hook; string return values are decoded into Unicode using the
current default encoding).
