register it as a compliant Mutable Mapping.
Todo: Convert the UserDict dependent tests to the new API
and then remove the old UserDict module. Move the
UserDict docs to collections.rst.
has gained a new type *PyInstanceMethod_Type* and the functions
*PyInstanceMethod_Check(o)*, *PyInstanceMethod_New(func)* and
*PyInstanceMethod_Function(im)*.
Removed gc.DEBUG_OBJECT: there is only one kind of objects.
Now gc.DEBUG_COLLECTABLE or gc.DEBUG_UNCOLLECTABLE can be used alone to print the
corresponding list of objects.
Also removed a footnote about version 2.2, and a comment explaining some deleted code.
Thanks to noam for the patch! I had to modify doubledigits.c slightly to support X64 and IA64 machines on Windows. I also added the new file to the three project files.
I moved the unicode_eq to stringlib/eq.h to keep the function static and possible inline for setobject.c and dictobject.h. I also removed the unused _PyString_Eq method. If it's required in the future it can be added to eq.h
I replaced sys.maxint with sys.maxsize in Lib/*.py. Does anybody see a problem with the change on Win 64bit platforms? Win 64's long is just 32bit but the sys.maxsize is now 2**63-1 on every 64bit platform.
Also added docs for sys.maxsize.
Also removed im_class and renamed im_self to __self__ and im_func to __func__. im_class can be substituted with method.__self__.__class__.
I've also updated some parts of the documenation.
After a long discussion about the problem with Windows GUI apps Guido decided that sys.stdin, stdout and stderr should be None when the C runtime library returns invalid file descriptors for the standard streams.
So far the only known cases are Windows GUI apps and scripts started with pythonw on Windows. The OS restrictions are tight enough to catch the problem on other OSes.
No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch. The most obvious changes:
- str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
- bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
- PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.
I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.
The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like. Some changes are still on the to-do list.
Add a closefd flag to open() which can be set to False to prevent closing
the file descriptor when close() is called or when the object is destroyed.
Useful to ensure that sys.std{in,out,err} keep their file descriptors open
when Python is uninitialized. (This was always a feature in 2.x, it just
wasn't implemented in 3.0 yet.)
Code that has been returning str8 becomes much more apparent thanks to this
(e.g., struct module returning str8 for all string-related formats or sqlite3
passing in str8 instances when converting objects that had a __conform__
method). One also has to watch out in C code when making a key from char *
using PyString in the C code but a str instance in Python code as that will not
longer compare equal.
Once str8 gains a constructor like the current bytes type then
test_modulefinder needs a cleanup as the fix is a little messy in that file.
Thanks goes to Thomas Lee for writing the patch for the change giving an
initial run-down of why most of the tests were failing.
Additional patch by Christian Heimes to deal more cleanly with the
FILE* vs file-descriptor issues.
I cleaned up his code a bit, and moved the lseek() call into import.c.
