"/" and "//", and doesn't really care what they *mean*, just that both
are tried (and that, whatever they mean, they act similarly for int and
long arguments).
operators per line or statement are now on by default, and -m turns
these warnings off.
- Change the way multiple / operators are reported; a regular
recommendation is always emitted after the warning.
- Report ambiguous warnings (both int|long and float|complex used for
the same operator).
- Update the doc string again to clarify all this and describe the
possible messages more precisely.
the fiddling is simply due to that no caller of PyLong_AsDouble ever
checked for failure (so that's fixing old bugs). PyLong_AsDouble is much
faster for big inputs now too, but that's more of a happy consequence
than a design goal.
but will be the foundation for Good Things:
+ Speed PyLong_AsDouble.
+ Give PyLong_AsDouble the ability to detect overflow.
+ Make true division of long/long nearly as accurate as possible (no
spurious infinities or NaNs).
+ Return non-insane results from math.log and math.log10 when passing a
long that can't be approximated by a double better than HUGE_VAL.
of PyMapping_Keys because we know we have a real dict. Tolerate that
objects may have an attr named "__dict__" that's not a dict (Py_None
popped up during testing).
test_descr.py, test_dir(): Test the new classic-class behavior; beef up
the new-style class test similarly.
test_pyclbr.py, checkModule(): dir(C) is no longer a synonym for
C.__dict__.keys() when C is a classic class (looks like the same thing
that burned distutils! -- should it be *made* a synoym again? Then it
would be inconsistent with new-style class behavior.).
bag. It's clearly wrong for classic classes, at heart because a classic
class doesn't have a __class__ attribute, and I'm unclear on whether
that's feature or bug. I'll repair this once I find out (in the
meantime, dir() applied to classic classes won't find the base classes,
while dir() applied to a classic-class instance *will* find the base
classes but not *their* base classes).
Please give the new dir() a try and see whether you love it or hate it.
The new dir([]) behavior is something I could come to love. Here's
something to hate:
>>> class C:
... pass
...
>>> c = C()
>>> dir(c)
['__doc__', '__module__']
>>>
The idea that an instance has a __doc__ attribute is jarring (of course
it's really c.__class__.__doc__ == C.__doc__; likewise for __module__).
OTOH, the code already has too many special cases, and dir(x) doesn't
have a compelling or clear purpose when x isn't a module.
