didn't bother to close the files. This caused the new test_wave test to fail
under Windows, as Windows won't let you delete a file that's open. Fixed
that by ensuring the wave read & write classes' .close() and __del__ methods
close files that were opened by their constructors.
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules
have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries.
A new docstring was added to formatter. The docstring for os.py
was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.
"""
Extended chunk so that it can also handle formats that are almost
according to EA IFF 85. In particular, added options to handle
little-endian and to handle formats that include the header size in
the chunk size value.
Fixed a bug where the header size was included in the chunk size, which
it isn't according to EA IFF 85.
Added a new method getsize() to get the size of the chunk (excluding
header).
Fixed chunk documentation (TIFF doesn't look like it uses chunks).
Converted wave to use chunk. Wave uses EA IFF 85 chunks except that
it uses little-endian encoding of integer data.
Removed __del__ methods from aifc and wave since I got an
AttributeError there upon exit.
"""
mode attribute of the file object (if it has one), otherwise
use 'rb'.
The documentation should still show this as required until
there's a new release.
