and the parens from str.

Gregory P. Smith bde4ae4bde Fixes (accepts patch) issue1339 - http://bugs.python.org/issue1339
- Factor out the duplication of EHLO/HELO in login() and sendmail() to
  a new function, ehlo_or_helo_if_needed().
- Use ehlo_or_helo_if_needed() in starttls()
- Check for the starttls exception in starttls() in the same way as
  login() checks for the auth extension.

Jeffrey Yasskin d7b00334f3 Add rational.Rational as an implementation of numbers.Rational with infinite
precision. This has been discussed at http://bugs.python.org/issue1682. It's
useful primarily for teaching, but it also demonstrates how to implement a
member of the numeric tower, including fallbacks for mixed-mode arithmetic.

I expect to write a couple more patches in this area:
 * Rational.from_decimal()
 * Rational.trim/approximate() (maybe with different names)
 * Maybe remove the parentheses from Rational.__str__()
 * Maybe rename one of the Rational classes
 * Maybe make Rational('3/2') work.

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc d08a8ebf2a Closing issue1761.
Surprising behaviour of the "$" regexp: it matches the
end of the string, AND just before the newline at the end
of the string::

    re.sub('$', '#', 'foo\n') == 'foo#\n#'

Python is consistent with Perl and the pcre library, so
we just document it.
Guido prefers "\Z" to match only the end of the string.

Georg Brandl 9749e15e2f Remove with_statement future imports from 2.6 docs. 2008-01-05 19:28:16 +00:00
Jeffrey Yasskin 9871d8fe22 Continue rolling back pep-3141 changes that changed behavior from 2.5. This
round included:
 * Revert round to its 2.6 behavior (half away from 0).
 * Because round, floor, and ceil always return float again, it's no
   longer necessary to have them delegate to __xxx___, so I've ripped
   that out of their implementations and the Real ABC. This also helps
   in implementing types that work in both 2.6 and 3.0: you return int
   from the __xxx__ methods, and let it get enabled by the version
   upgrade.
 * Make pow(-1, .5) raise a ValueError again.

Raymond Hettinger e0734e7dc0 Minor fix-ups to named tuples:
* Make the _replace() method respect subclassing.

* Using property() to make _fields read-only wasn't a good idea.
  It caused len(Point._fields) to fail.

* Add note to _cast() about length checking and alternative with the star-operator.

r57372, r57738, r57739, r58017, r58039, r58040, and r59390, and new

Georg Brandl has added fchmod() and fchown(). I've contributed lchown but I'm not able to test it on Linux. However it should be available on Mac and some other flavors of Unix.
I've made a quick test of fchmod() and fchown() on my system. They are working as expected.
