Michael W. Hudson 9e5d87fa20 Reword section about moving variables to os.path to match intent (or
at least, what I thought the intent was).

Guido van Rossum 4507ec70cf - The audio driver tests (test_ossaudiodev.py and
test_linuxaudiodev.py) are no longer run by default.  This is
  because they don't always work, depending on your hardware and
  software.  To run these tests, you must use an invocation like
    ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -u audio test_ossaudiodev
2003-02-14 19:29:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1442dc1194 Add SF reference to news item. 2003-02-13 22:19:20 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4b499dd3fb - Finally fixed the bug in compile() and exec where a string ending
with an indented code block but no newline would raise SyntaxError.
  This would have been a four-line change in parsetok.c...  Except
  codeop.py depends on this behavior, so a compilation flag had to be
  invented that causes the tokenizer to revert to the old behavior;
  this required extra changes to 2 .h files, 2 .c files, and 2 .py
  files.  (Fixes SF bug #501622.)
2003-02-13 22:07:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 298e421453 SF patch #685738 by Michael Stone.
This changes the default __new__ to refuse arguments iff tp_init is the
default __init__ implementation -- thus making it a TypeError when you
try to pass arguments to a constructor if the class doesn't override at
least __init__ or __new__.
2003-02-13 16:30:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c4f4ca91e1 Provide access to the import lock, fixing SF bug #580952. This is
mostly from SF patch #683257, but I had to change unlock_import() to
return an error value to avoid fatal error.

Should this be backported?  The patch requested this, but it's a new
feature.
2003-02-12 21:46:11 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 47710656e5 Issue a warning when int('0...', 0) returns an int with the sign
folded; this will change in Python 2.4.  On a 32-bit machine, this
happens for 0x80000000 through 0xffffffff, and for octal constants in
the same value range.  No warning is issued if an explicit base is
given, *or* if the string contains a sign (since in those cases no
sign folding ever happens).
2003-02-12 20:48:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 48035eb452 SF #660455 : patch by NNorwitz.
"Unsigned" (i.e., positive-looking, but really negative) hex/oct
constants with a leading minus sign are once again properly negated.
The micro-optimization for negated numeric constants did the wrong
thing for such hex/oct constants.  The patch avoids the optimization
for all hex/oct constants.

This needs to be backported to Python 2.2!
2003-02-12 17:05:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a89d10edc9 Implement another useful feature for proxies: in super(X, x), x may
now be a proxy for an X instance, as long as issubclass(x.__class__, X).

Guido van Rossum 03bc7d3c4d SF #532767: isinstance(x, X) should work when x is a proxy for an X

Neal Norwitz 9caf9c040e Add tests and news entry about parser errors from bug #678518. 2003-02-10 01:54:06 +00:00
Tim Peters 07534a607b Comparison for timedelta, time, date and datetime objects: __eq__ and
__ne__ no longer complain if they don't know how to compare to the other
thing.  If no meaningful way to compare is known, saying "not equal" is
sensible.  This allows things like

    if adatetime in some_sequence:
and
    somedict[adatetime] = whatever

to work as expected even if some_sequence contains non-datetime objects,
or somedict non-datetime keys, because they only call __eq__.

It still complains (raises TypeError) for mixed-type comparisons in
contexts that require a total ordering, such as list.sort(), use as a
key in a BTree-based data structure, and cmp().

Guido van Rossum 7d9ea5013f - Thanks to Scott David Daniels, a subtle bug in how the zlib
extension implemented flush() was fixed.  Scott also rewrite the
  zlib test suite using the unittest module.  (SF bug #640230 and
  patch #678531.)

Backport candidate I think.

Tim Peters bf2674be0e long(string, base) now takes time linear in len(string) when base is a
power of 2.  Enabled the tail end of test_long() in pickletester.py
because it no longer takes forever when run from test_pickle.py.
2003-02-02 07:51:32 +00:00
Tim Peters b57f8f02ba There's no good reason for datetime objects to expose __getstate__()
anymore either, so don't.  This also allows to get rid of obscure code
making __getnewargs__ identical to __getstate__ (hmm ... hope there
wasn't more to this than I realize!).

Raymond Hettinger 96ef8115dd Move itertools module from the sandbox and into production. 2003-02-01 00:10:11 +00:00
Tim Peters 506be287aa The various datetime object __setstate__() methods are no longer public
(pickling no longer needs them, and immutable objects shouldn't have
visible __setstate__() methods regardless).  Rearranged the code to
put the internal setstate functions in the constructor sections.
Repaired the timedelta reduce() method, which was still producing
stuff that required a public timedelta.__setstate__() when unpickling.

Tim Peters 8d81a012ef date and datetime comparison: when we don't know how to
compare against "the other" argument, we raise TypeError,
in order to prevent comparison from falling back to the
default (and worse than useless, in this case) comparison
by object address.

That's fine so far as it goes, but leaves no way for
another date/datetime object to make itself comparable
to our objects.  For example, it leaves Marc-Andre no way
to teach mxDateTime dates how to compare against Python
dates.

Discussion on Python-Dev raised a number of impractical
ideas, and the simple one implemented here:  when we don't
know how to compare against "the other" argument, we raise
TypeError *unless* the other object has a timetuple attr.
In that case, we return NotImplemented instead, and Python
will give the other object a shot at handling the
comparison then.

Note that comparisons of time and timedelta objects still
suffer the original problem, though.

Tim Peters 2a44a8d332 SF bug 660872: datetimetz constructors behave counterintuitively (2.3a1).
This gives much the same treatment to datetime.fromtimestamp(stamp, tz) as
the last batch of checkins gave to datetime.now(tz):  do "the obvious"
thing with the tz argument instead of a senseless thing.
2003-01-23 20:53:10 +00:00

Skip Montanaro 9a7c96a2bc add support for Python's bool type to xmlrpclib - patch # 559288 2003-01-22 18:17:25 +00:00
Tim Peters f196a0a4dd "Premature" doc changes, for new astimezone() rules, and the new
tzinfo.fromutc() method.  The C code doesn't implement any of this
yet (well, not the C code on the machine I'm using now), nor does
the test suite reflect it.  The Python datetime.py implementation and
test suite in the sandbox do match these doc changes.  The C
implementation probably won't catch up before Thursday (Wednesday is
a scheduled "black hole" day this week <0.4 wink>).

Guido van Rossum 50e92235e7 Explicitly raise an exception in __cmp__ -- this clarifies that cmp()
is not supported on sets.  (Unfortunately, sorting a list of sets may
still return random results because it uses < exclusively, but for
sets that inly implements a partial ordering.  Oh well.)

Tim Peters 0bf60bd67f Utterly minimal changes to collapse datetimetz into datetime, and timetz
into time.  This is little more than *exporting* the datetimetz object
under the name "datetime", and similarly for timetz.  A good implementation
of this change requires more work, but this is fully functional if you
don't stare too hard at the internals (e.g., right now a type named
"datetime" shows up as a base class of the type named "datetime").  The
docs also need extensive revision, not part of this checkin.

Jack Jansen 05d284b7aa Made "ascii" the default encoding for MacPython, as suggested by MvL, and ripped out my previous changes to test_unicode.

Tim Peters adf642038e A new implementation of astimezone() that does what we agreed on in all

Raymond Hettinger e11b510a5b SF 658405: calendar.py to rely on the datetime module instead of the time
module.

The code is shorter, more readable, faster, and dramatically increases the
range of acceptable dates.

Also, used the floor division operator in leapdays().

[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers

with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.

Gustavo Niemeyer 786ddb29c9 Fixed bug
[#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling

* Objects/fileobject.c
  (file_read): Clear errors before leaving the loop in all situations,
  and also check if some data was read before exiting the loop with an
  EWOULDBLOCK exception.

* Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex
* Objects/fileobject.c
  Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than
  what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode.

* Misc/NEWS
  Document the fix.

[#636769] Fix for major rexec bugs

* Lib/rexec.py
  (FileBase): Added 'xreadlines' and '__iter__' to allowed file methods.
  (FileWrapper.__init__): Removed unnecessary self.f variable, which gave
  direct access to the file object.
  (RExec): Added 'xreadlines' and '_weakref' to allowed modules.
  (RExec.r_open): Convert string subclasses to a real string classes
  before doing comparisons with mode parameter.

* Lib/ihooks.py
  (BasicModuleImporter.import_module/reload/unload): Convert the module
  name to a real string before working with it.
  (ModuleImporter.import_module/import_it/reload): Convert the module
  name to a real strings before working with it.

* Misc/NEWS
  Document the change.

Marc-André Lemburg 20b91358e5 News item for the change to turn _codecs into a builtin module. 2002-12-12 18:01:43 +00:00
Walter Dörwald d9a6ad3beb Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.

This closes SF patch #649608.

Skip Montanaro 3bf99e3e87 Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situations
this can result in significantly smaller files.  All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility.  Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.

Just van Rossum 3eb166b49b Slightly improved version of patch #642578: "Expose PyImport_FrozenModules

Tim Peters 84c7a3f328 Try linking the static Sleepycat lib into _bsddb.pyd. Hard to say
whether this is a correct thing to do:

+ There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt).
+ test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now.
+ test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too.

Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated
build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled
the Windows installer accordingly.

Tim Peters 19cf4ee69d More bsddb-on-Windows fiddling:
+ News blurb, but as much XXX as news.
+ Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL;
  still don't know how to fold that into _bsddb.pyd).
+ Fleshed out build instructions.
+ Debug Python still blows up.
