* Improve algorithm -- no more O(n) steps except sched.cancel().
* Improve thread safety of sched.run() and sched.empty()
(other threads could alter the queue between the time the queue was
first checked and when the lead event was deleted).
* Localize variable access in sched.run() to minimize overhead.
also modified check_all function to suppress all warnings since they aren't
relevant to what this test is doing (allows quiet checking of regsub, for
instance)
*this* set of patches is Ka-Ping's final sweep:
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.
constructors. There is no backward compatibility. Not everything has
been tested.
* aiff.{py,doc}: deleted in favor of aifc.py (which contains its docs as
comments)
* Many modules: fixes for new, stricter, argument passing rules
(most changes were automatic ones -- not all of this is tested!).
* gwin.py: now uses mainloop.py for its main loop and window admin.
* mainloop.py: always call dispatch() with event as a tuple!
* Fix bug in pdb's 'clear' command -- don't set the bpt but clear it!
Added runcall(func, *args) interfaces to profile.py, bdb.py, pdb.py, wdb.py
Added new module bisect.py and used it in sched.py.
Mostly cosmetic changes to profile.py (changed output format).
