/F wrote the text docs, Englebert Gruber massaged it to latex and I
did some more massaging to try and improve the consistency and
fix some name mismatches between the declaration and text.
Renames functional extension module to _functools and adds a Python
functools module so that utility functions like update_wrapper can be
added easily.
I think that 'generic operating system services' is the best category.
Note that the Doc/lib/libctypes.latex file is generated from reST sources.
You are welcome to make typo fixes, and I'll try to keep the reST sources
in sync, but markup changes would be lost - they should be fixed in the tool
that creates the latex file.
The conversion script is external/ctypes/docs/manual/mkpydoc.py.
Based on lsprof (patch #1212837) by Brett Rosen and Ted Czotter.
With further editing by Michael Hudson and myself.
History in svn repo: http://codespeak.net/svn/user/arigo/hack/misc/lsprof
* Module/_lsprof.c is the internal C module, Lib/cProfile.py a wrapper.
* pstats.py updated to display cProfile's caller/callee timings if available.
* setup.py and NEWS updated.
* documentation updates in the profiler section:
- explain the differences between the three profilers that we have now
- profile and cProfile can use a unified documentation, like (c)Pickle
- mention that hotshot is "for specialized usage" now
- removed references to the "old profiler" that no longer exists
* test updates:
- extended test_profile to cover delicate cases like recursion
- added tests for the caller/callee displays
- added test_cProfile, performing the same tests for cProfile
* TO-DO:
- cProfile gives a nicer name to built-in, particularly built-in methods,
which could be backported to profile.
- not tested on Windows recently!
Fred approved just checking it in; he may make further fixes.
The change shrinks the 'Generic OS' and other OS chapters, which had become
something of a dumping ground for random modules. It differs from the
last version of the patch: 1) I've added introductions for the new chapters (still missing a few -- search for 'intro')
2) a few modules have been rearranged slightly from the version in the patch
A new hashlib module to replace the md5 and sha modules. It adds
support for additional secure hashes such as SHA-256 and SHA-512. The
hashlib module uses OpenSSL for fast platform optimized
implementations of algorithms when available. The old md5 and sha
modules still exist as wrappers around hashlib to preserve backwards
compatibility.
