the rest of the documentation.

Barry Warsaw dfdac1af4d Several changes for Jython portability. This closes SF patch
#403666.  Specifically,

In codestr, force `c' to be global.  It's unclear what the semantics
should be for a code object compiled at module scope, but bound and
run in a function.  In CPython, `c' is global (by accident?) while in
Jython, `c' is local.  The intent of the test clearly is to make `c'
global, so let's be explicit about it.

Jython also does not have a __builtins__ name in the module's
namespace, so we use a more portable alternative (though I'm not sure
why the test requires "__builtins__" in the g namespace).

Finally, skip the new.code() test if the new module doesn't have a
`code' attribute.  Jython will never have this.

Ka-Ping Yee 26fabb0016 Allow sys.excepthook and sys.exitfunc to quietly exit with a sys.exit().
sys.exitfunc gets the last word on the exit status of the program.

Ka-Ping Yee e280c06d59 Browser compatibility fixes.
Show methods aliased into a class from other classes.
2001-03-23 14:05:53 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton e702481d38 Revert to ver 1.22, which was the version before the nested scopes
docs were introduced.  This loses a few small changes, but Fred says
that's okay.
2001-03-23 14:05:16 +00:00
Ka-Ping Yee 987ec903d6 Small formatting improvements. 2001-03-23 13:35:45 +00:00
Ka-Ping Yee 3bda87991a Show inherited methods, with hyperlinks to the base class they came from.
Font adjustment to improve viewing in Windows (the default monospaced font,
    Courier New, seems to have no reasonable size in IE!)
Improve error handling.  Try very hard to distinguish between failure to
    find a module and failure during the module importing process.
Improve reloading behaviour.  (Still needs some work.)
Add '.' to sys.path when running as a script at the command-line.
Don't automatically assume '-g' based on the platform.  We'll just have
    the batch file supply -g.

Fred Drake 6526bf863e When creating an attribute node using createAttribute() or
createAttributeNS(), use the parallel setAttributeNode() or
setAttributeNodeNS() to add the node to the document -- do not assume
that setAttributeNode() will operate properly for both.

Fred Drake 5e0dfaccd1 Update to the most recent weakref changes. 2001-03-23 04:36:02 +00:00
Fred Drake b0fefc5121 Convert the weakref test suite to PyUNIT, and add tests that exercise weak
references on function objects and both bound and unbound methods.
2001-03-23 04:22:45 +00:00
Fred Drake 84a5934f8a When the regression test is run in verbose mode, make the PyUNIT-based
tests a little noisier, providing more progress information.

Fred Drake db81e8ddf8 Add support for weak references to the function and method types. 2001-03-23 04:19:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 6a1c87ddf9 Add the necessary field for weak reference support to the function and
method types.

Guido van Rossum 4131830c23 Fix memory leak with SyntaxError. (The DECREF was originally hidden
inside a piece of code that was deemed reduntant; the DECREF was
unfortunately *not* redundant!)

Tim Peters fe0d79fbeb Add Jeremy's compiler to the Windows install. 2001-03-23 03:43:35 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling ef85cc84a0 Add section for PEP 241
Add PyUnit and sys.excepthook
2001-03-23 03:29:08 +00:00
Ka-Ping Yee b5c5132d1a Add sys.excepthook.
Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.
New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook.
Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back
    to calling PyErr_Display directly.
Also comes with sys.__excepthook__ and sys.__displayhook__.
2001-03-23 02:46:52 +00:00
Ka-Ping Yee 37f7b38eb6 Fixes for various issues reported and discovered since Python 9:
Factor description of import errors into DocImportError.__str__.
Add "docother" and "fail" methods to Doc class.
Factor formatting of constants into "docother".
Increase max string repr limit to 100 characters.
Factor page generation into HTMLDoc.page.
Handle aliasing of names (objects appearing under an attribute
    name different from their intrinsic __name__) by passing the
    attribute name into each doc* method.
Handle methods at top level of modules (e.g. in random).
Try to do reloading efficiently.

Important fixes still to do:
    Module reloading is broken by the unfortunate property that
        failed imports leave an incomplete module in sys.  Still
        need to think of a good solution.
    Can't document modules in the current directory, due to the
        other unfortunate property that sys.path gets '.' when
        you run 'python' but it gets the script directory when
        you run a script.  Need to ponder to find a solution.
    The synopsis() routine does not work on .so modules.
    Aliases cause duplicate copies of documentation to appear.
        This is easy to fix, just more work.
    Classes appear as their intrinsic name, not their attribute name,
        in the class hierarchy.  This should be fixed.
    Inherited methods should be listed in class descriptions.

Guido van Rossum 14b90a498f Strip \r as trailing whitespace as part of soft line endings.
Inspired by SF patch #408597 (Walter Dörwald): quopri, soft line
breaks and CRLF.  (I changed (" ", "\t", "\r") into " \t\r".)

Guido van Rossum 8652522442 Update the Tix version (long overdue :-).

versions".

Guido van Rossum 3f69f21644 Add a wrapper function for ssl() on Windows. Inspired by SF patch
# 409287, ssl fix when using _socketobject, by Robin Dunn.

I took the opportunity to improve the way it deals with reload(socket)
for the socket function as well.

Guido van Rossum bfb9184ba8 This is SF patch #405952, by Anthony Baxter:
cmd.py uses raw_input(); eats SIGCLD:

  I discovered a rather nasty side effect of the standard cmd.py
  library today. If it's sitting inside raw_input(), any SIGCLDs that
  get sent to your application get silently eaten and ignored. I'm
  assuming that this is something that readline is thoughtfully doing
  for me.

  This patch adds an instance attr that allows the user to select to
  not use raw_input(), but instead use sys.stdin.readline()

[Changed slightly to catch EOFError only for raw_input().]

Fred Drake 4e262a9631 A small change to the C API for weakly-referencable types: Such types
must now initialize the extra field used by the weak-ref machinery to
NULL themselves, to avoid having to require PyObject_INIT() to check
if the type supports weak references and do it there.  This causes less
work to be done for all objects (the type object does not need to be
consulted to check for the Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_WEAKREFS bit).
2001-03-22 18:26:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 82f1480d63 Inform the cycle-detector that the a weakref object no longer needs to be
tracked as soon as it is clear; this can decrease the number of roots for
the cycle detector sooner rather than later in applications which hold on
to weak references beyond the time of the invalidation.
2001-03-22 18:05:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 2c77355937 Make cPickle use the recently-added PyInstance_NewRaw() API to create
instance objects without calling the constructor.  This is the same as
the new.instance() function.
2001-03-22 17:52:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 53f5968f9b Make this IDLE version 0.8. (We have to skip 0.7 because that was a
CNRI release in a corner of the basement of a government building on a
planet circling Aldebaran.)
2001-03-22 17:37:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3cc1250f16 Don't use __debug__ as if it were some module global. Use DEBUG
instead.

Fred Drake 15e07f4442 Update to the current state of the universe. 2001-03-22 17:00:05 +00:00
Fred Drake e28d8aef2d Be more clear about the specific rules for supporting the cyclic GC in an
extension object.  Also included an example showing exactly what needs to
be done and nothing else.

This closes SF bug #228591.
