fcc31b44d2
Split the long email package examples into separate files and use
...
\verbatiminput instead of the verbatim environment -- this does the "right
thing" regarding page breaks in long examples for the typeset formats, and
has nice benefits for the HTML version as well.
2002-10-01 14:17:10 +00:00

2002-10-01 04:48:06 +00:00

Minor revision to the "\\" patch, including updating the docs a little to
...
accomodate the fact that they are more general now that they are for the
os.path module and not just posixpath.
This and the previous patch should be combined and applied to the 2.2-maint
branch.
2002-09-12 18:01:26 +00:00

extensions for a mime type, and add_type() which adds one

Further SET_LINENO reomval fixes. See comments in patch #587933 .
...
Use a slightly different strategy to determine when not to call the line
trace function. This removes the need for the RETURN_NONE opcode, so
that's gone again. Update docs and comments to match.
Thanks to Neal and Armin!
Also add a test suite. This should have come with the original patch...

Minor markup changes.
2002-08-27 16:46:06 +00:00
ea76c98014
Implemented <, <=, >, >= for sets, giving subset and proper-subset
...
meanings. I did not add new, e.g., ispropersubset() methods; we're
going nuts on those, and, e.g., there was no "friendly name" for
== either.
2002-08-25 18:43:10 +00:00
7ad09552d0

...
Closes SF bug 599681.
2002-08-25 16:27:33 +00:00
e87ab3fefe
Removed < <= > >= from the API. Implemented as comparisons of the
...
underlying dictionaries, there were no reasonable use cases (lexicographic
sorting of a list of sets is somewhat esoteric). Frees the operators
for other uses (such as strict subset and superset comparisons).
Updated documentation and test suite accordingly.

45ec02aed1
SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation of
...
interning. I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged. Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.
2002-08-19 21:43:18 +00:00
5959c559df
Added __pow__(a,b) to the operator module. Completes the pattern of

74824584ef
Added new footnote about list.sort() stability. Repaired footnote about
...
using sort() with comparison functions (it made reference to the non-
existent "builtin-in function sort()").
BTW, I changed list.sort's docstring to contain the word "stable" -- the
easiest way to tell whether a particular Python version's sort *is* stable
is to look for "stable" in the docstring. I'm not sure whether to
advertise this <wink>.

SF patch #581414 : info reader bug
...
The "Matching vs. Searching" Info node is unreachable from the Info
program (but is fine in Emacs's Info mode). This patch seems to fix
it. This is the only occurrence where the info reader fails, so
probably it could be addressed in the python docs as a workaround.
Forwarded the report to the info maintainer.

Major overhaul of timeout sockets:
...
- setblocking(0) and settimeout(0) are now equivalent, and ditto for
setblocking(1) and settimeout(None).
- Don't raise an exception from internal_select(); let the final call
report the error (this means you will get an EAGAIN error instead of
an ETIMEDOUT error -- I don't care).
- Move the select to inside the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS brackets,
so other theads can run (this was a bug in the original code).
- Redid the retry logic in connect() and connect_ex() to avoid masking
errors. This probably doesn't work for Windows yet; I'll fix that
next. It may also fail on other platforms, depending on what
retrying a connect does; I need help with this.
- Get rid of the retry logic in accept(). I don't think it was needed
at all. But I may be wrong.

SF patch 555085 (timeout socket implementation) by Michael Gilfix.
...
I've made considerable changes to Michael's code, specifically to use
the select() system call directly and to store the timeout as a C
double instead of a Python object; internally, -1.0 (or anything
negative) represents the None from the API.
I'm not 100% sure that all corner cases are covered correctly, so
please keep an eye on this. Next I'm going to try it Windows before
Tim complains.
No way is this a bugfix candidate. :-)

If a rexec instance allows writing in the current directory (a common

configure things so that .pyc files *are* allowed, if writing is not
allowed).

Mostly in SequenceMatcher.{__chain_b, find_longest_match}:

This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently
repeated as to constitute noise. The primary benefit is an enormous
speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors
of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the
sequences have many duplicate elements. In effect, this zooms in on
sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now.
While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider
this experimental. Please give it a try!

Change Windows file.truncate() to (a) restore the original file position,
...
and (b) stop trying to prevent file growth.
Beef up the file.truncate() docs.
Change test_largefile.py to stop assuming that f.truncate() moves the
file pointer to the truncation point, and to verify instead that it leaves
the file position alone. Remove the test for what happens when a
specified size exceeds the original file size (it's ill-defined, according
to the Single Unix Spec).

file_truncate(): provide full "large file" support on Windows, by
...
dropping MS's inadequate _chsize() function. This was inspired by
SF patch 498109 ("fileobject truncate support for win32"), which I
rejected.
libstdtypes.tex: Someone who knows should update the availability
blurb. For example, if it's available on Linux, it would be good to
say so.
test_largefile: Uncommented the file.truncate() tests, and reworked to
do more. The old comment about "permission errors" in the truncation
tests under Windows was almost certainly due to that the file wasn't open
for *write* access at this point, so of course MS wouldn't let you
truncate it. I'd be appalled if a Unixish system did.
CAUTION: Someone should run this test on Linux (etc) too. The
truncation part was commented out before. Note that test_largefile isn't
run by default.

SF bug #501591 : dir() doc is old
...
Bugfix candidate.
+ Updated dir() description to match actual 2.2 behavior.
+ Replaced the dir(sys) example with dir(struct), because the former
was way out of date and is bound to change frequently, while the
latter is stable.
+ Added a note cautioning that dir() is supplied primarily for
convenience at an interactive prompt (hoping to discourage its
use as the foundation of introspective code outside the core).
