operations are defined. This will, hopefully clarify
some of the logic.
Added close test to raise proper error when operations
are performed on closed StringIOs.
Added a position argument to the truncate method.
Added a size argument to readline.
Added PyArg_Parse calls for methods that don't take arguments to
make sure they don't take arguments.
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 ;)
For more comments, read the patches@python.org archives.
For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.
(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode. I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)
- New copyright. (Open source)
- Fixed problem in seek method. The seek method should (and now does)
fill with nulls when seeking past the end of the "file".
dealloc() functions contained code to free/DECREF the buffer
(there were differences between I and O objects but the logic bug was
the same). Fixed this be setting the buffer pointer to NULL and
testing for that. (This also makes it safe to call close() more than
once.)
XXX Worry: what if you try to read() or write() once the thing is
closed?
