1.5.2 was released, except those who contributed only to Doc files --
Fred has his own way of doing this.
This doesn't mean that I've got everyone who contributed *before*
1.5.2 was released in here... :-(
executive summary:
Instead of typing 'apply(f, args, kwargs)' you can type 'f(*arg, **kwargs)'.
Some file-by-file details follow.
Grammar/Grammar:
simplify varargslist, replacing '*' '*' with '**'
add * & ** options to arglist
Include/opcode.h & Lib/dis.py:
define three new opcodes
CALL_FUNCTION_VAR
CALL_FUNCTION_KW
CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW
Python/ceval.c:
extend TypeError "keyword parameter redefined" message to include
the name of the offending keyword
reindent CALL_FUNCTION using four spaces
add handling of sequences and dictionaries using extend calls
fix function import_from to use PyErr_Format
The attached patch set includes a workaround to get Python with
Unicode compile on BSDI 4.x (courtesy Thomas Wouters; the cause
is a bug in the BSDI wchar.h header file) and Python interfaces
for the MBCS codec donated by Mark Hammond.
Also included are some minor corrections w/r to the docs of
the new "es" and "es#" parser markers (use PyMem_Free() instead
of free(); thanks to Mark Hammond for finding these).
The unicodedata tests are now in a separate file
(test_unicodedata.py) to avoid problems if the module cannot
be found.
Attached you find the latest update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version.
It includes the fix I posted yesterday for the core dump problem
in codecs.c (was introduced by my previous patch set -- sorry),
adds more tests for the codecs and two new parser markers
"es" and "es#".
Attached you find an update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version. I would appreciate
if someone with CVS checkin permissions could check the changes
in.
The patch contains all bugs and patches sent this week and also
fixes a leak in the codecs code and a bug in the free list code
for Unicode objects (which only shows up when compiling Python
with Py_DEBUG; thanks to MarkH for spotting this one).
(python): Set defgroup :prefix to "py-" to make variable names cleaner.
(py-jpython-command, py-jpython-command-args): Set :tag for proper
capitalization of JPython in variable name display.
first time a py buffer is visited during the Emacs session. This
ensures that py-which-shells is initialized and also guarantees that
the mode lines reflect the correct shell. First bug found by GvR,
second one has long bugged :) me.
(py-toggle-shells): Programmatically, arg can also take the symbols
`cpython' or `jpython', which makes it easy to call with the value of
py-default-interpreter.
(py-shell): Don't need to initialize py-which-* variables since these
will guarantee to be initialized by python-mode when the first py
buffer is visited.
(py-default-interpreter): Update docstring.
casing when py-honor-comment-indentation is nil, but this could be a
religious issue with some. Seems to me we should still be dedenting
such comment lines one level.
buffer-syntactic-context -- just short circuit the TQS test by jumping
to point-min and doing the test from there. For long files, this will
be faster than looping with a re-search-backwards.
I don't know what its origins are but I think I've seen it
once in a NeXT dictionary application -- not sure whether
anyone owns copyright but I don't see why we should risk it.
py-newline-and-indent. These ought to get picked up by the mapcar
that follows; any existing binding to newline-and-indent gets shadowed
to py-newline-and-indent.
This will break some people who, e.g. bind C-m or C-j to newline but
still want these bound to py-newline-and-indent in Python mode. On
the other hand, the forced binding pisses off Emacs diehards. So
consider this experimental and see if any tall Dutch guys complain :-)
standard narrow-to-defun but works with Python classes and methods.
With no arg, narrows to most enclosing def/method. With C-u arg,
narrows to most enclosing class.
string we find ourselves in, based on the passed in delimiter.
(py-compute-indentation): Fixes for indentation errors when we land
inside a triple quoted string. For example:
def foo():
if os.path.isfile(o_pri_mbox_file) and os.path.isfile(o_pub_mbox_file):
print """\
I found both a private and a public mbox archive file
private: %s
public : %s
I won't move either file, but you should choose one and move it to
%s
You may want to merge them manually, but be careful about exposing private
correspondences to the public.""" % (
o_pri_mbox_file, o_pub_mbox_file, mbox_file)
*----indentation would be wrong on this line.
#simple things. First step: rename the Imenu supportive variables and
#functions in this file to py-imenu-* so I can grok what is part of
#python-mode and what is part of Imenu.
(py-imenu-create-index-engine): Fixed problem with two classes in a
single file, caused by new semantics of py-beginning-of-def-or-class
when called programmatically.
#Note, there are still some problems with Imenu when arguments to
#functions are funky, but it should be much better now.
string in the argument to execfile() so a Windows temp directory
named, e.g. c:\\tmp doesn't get interpreted as a file name with an
embedded tab! (given by C. Waldman).
this string should not end with whitespace.
(py-compute-indentation): Append whitespace regexp to
py-block-comment-prefix so that any combination of intervening
whitespace will be recognized.
change error messages to be a little more straightforward
change definition of FULL_PATH so that an error is raised if the
setuid wrapper is used un-edited
shell buffers.
(py-shell): Moved the require of comint to the top level. Also
use-local-map py-shell-map instead of hacking on the comint-mode-map.
This eliminates breakage of other comint-mode buffers (e.g. shell).
interactions with newer Emacsen, I've rewritten the way all the
process filters work in the *Python* buffer. We use more of the
comint infrastructure, specifically the default process filter. This
means that scrolling is now handled by the default comint variables
including comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output. Note that this is
somewhat experimental change!
(py-comint-output-filter-function): Moved to here from the obsolete
py-process-filter function, the logic to pop and exec the next queued
file waiting to be executed.
(py-execute-file): Don't bind comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output to t,
and save the excursion when inserting the "working on" message. This
lets the standard comint scrolling variables as set by the user,
continue to work.
(python-mode, py-shell, py-describe-mode): Remove description of
py-scroll-process-buffer. Also in py-shell, make
comint-output-filter-functions buffer-local, and add
py-comint-output-filter-function to this hook (instead of setting the
process filter).
(py-scroll-process-buffer): Deleted this variable. See comint
variables including comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output.
(py-execute-region): When exec files are being queued, push the next
temp file on the end of the list.
(py-submit-bug-report): Removed reporting of py-scroll-process-buffer.
"3.67 fixes Imenu as far as classes are concerned, but some default
values for function arguments are still not supported."
This ought to fix that problem.
indetnation of normal statements: The regular expression that searches
for indenting comment lines has been changed to not require a
space/tab after the first `#'. We then explicitly look for
py-block-comment-prefix depending on the value of
py-honor-comment-indentation.
I think this more accurately reflects the documentation for
py-honor-comment-indentation.
conformations, etc., etc. inspired and given by Michael Ernst. These
include error string fixes, moving of comments to docstrings, some
other non-related typos, terminology standardizing (b/w TP and myself,
and b/w myself and myself :-) although more can still be done.
E.g. "outdenting" => "dedenting".
serial number isn't enough to uniquify the temp file name -- what if
two users are on the same machine? Add in the (emacs-pid) to help
further. Should never be tickled on Emacs 20, XEmacs 20, 21.
py-mark-def-or-class): Integrated Michael Ernst latest patches.
Primarily, it allows functions that search or mark defs/classes based
on programmatic specification, to take an 'either flag value which
allows searching for both classes and defs (stopping at the nearest
construct).
Also clean up some docstrings.
comment-indent-function's default lambda value (in simple.el), this
version finally kills this nit: auto-filling a comment that starts in
column zero with filladapt turned off would cascade the #'s to the
right.
Now auto-filling seems to work with or without filladapt, and with the
comment starting in any column.
(python-mode): Set comment-indent-function.
(py-execute-import-or-reload): Cool new command that imports or
reloads the current file as a module, so as not to clutter the global
namespace. Bound to C-c C-m.
(py-execute-def-or-class): New command that sends the current def or
class to the interpreter. Bound to C-M-x.
(py-execute-string): New command that sends arbitrary string to the
interpreter. Not bound by default.
(py-describe-mode): Doco updates.
py-beginning-of-def-or-class, and defaliased for backwards
compatibility. ME patch to add optional second argument, count.
(end-of-python-def-or-class): Renamed to py-end-of-def-or-class, and
defaliased for backwards compatibility. ME patch to add optional
second argument, count.
(py-shell): Recognize the Python debugger prompt
(py-jump-to-exception): Force into python-mode any buffer that gets
jumped to on exception. Cope with py-exception-buffer possibly a
cons.
JPython interpreters. This implementation may suck.
(py-jpython-command, py-jpython-command-args): New variables.
(py-mode-map): py-toggle-shells bound to C-c C-t
(py-toggle-shells): Command to toggle between using CPython (the
default) and JPython. This is buffer local, and notice the mode-name
change.
(py-shell): Use either CPython or JPython. Note that py-execute-*
still needs to be modified.
an open paren, do a better job of reindenting the line. For example:
def foo():
print 'hello %s, %d' % (
a, b)
Hit TAB on the line starting with `a'. Without this patch this line
will never be reindented.
(py-compute-indentation): int-to-char isn't defined in Emacs, but we
don't really need it anyway, so just remove this conversion. XEmacs
is happy either way.
(py-parse-state): The Emacs branch (i.e. w/o buffer-syntactic-context)
wasn't adjusting point correctly.
otherwise return nil.
(py-execute-region): When executing the buffer asynchronously in a
subprocess, if an exception occurred, show both the output buffer and
the file containing the exception, leaving point on the source line
containing bottom-most error in the traceback. If no exception
occurred, jump to the output buffer (no change).
from CC Mode.
(py-guess-indent-offset): Teach it about colons in `literals'
(e.g. comments and strings). Don't false hit colons in literals; keep
searching for a real block introducing line.
of a line in py-tab-face to aid in seeing mixed tab/space indentation.
This face defaults to the `default' face so it is unobtrusive until
you `M-x customize-face' py-tab-face to something obnoxious like
"Yellow".
setting of py-indent-offset and indent-tabs-mode.
(python-mode): After python-mode-hook is run, do the automagic
calculation if py-smart-indentation is non-nil.
(py-parse-state): Get rid of unused variable to quiet the
byte-compiler.
over and around triple-quoted strings:
- move the beginning-of-line to above the p-p-s call
- in the `t' clause of the big cond, where we skip over
triple-quoted strings, first find out if we're looking at a
single or TQS, then skip over it in one fell swoop, instead of
trying to loop over skipage of SQS's.
(py-parse-state): Implement XEmacs only hack to more accurately figure
out whether we're in a string or not. Can't do this in Emacs because
it lacks the necessary primitive, so we just do it the old (and mostly
accurate, but foolable) way for Emacs.

Stajano.

a religious issue: RMS decrees that the Enter (RET) key should just do
a newline and a LFD (C-j) should do a newline and indent (i.e. the
python-mode version of this). Almost everyone I know disagrees and
finds that RET should do newline and indent. Almost everyone hacks
their modes to do this, if they know how. Because it's hard for
newbies to figure out how to do this, and because most DOS keyboards
lack a LFD (leaving users to the more obscure C-j), I think it makes
better sense to add this default binding.
is based on the line above, watch out for landing inside a triple
quoted string. In this case, use iterative search +
parse-partial-sexp backwards to find the beginning of the string.
Note this does affect performance, but very little in the common cases
(I hope). It could be made *much* faster by adding Emacs and XEmacs
dependent code -- different code naturally. :-(

file local variable section of a file. When set, and the user hits
C-c C-c, this file gets executed instead of the buffer's file. Idea
given by Roy Dragseth <royd@math.uit.no>, but implemented differently.
(py-execute-buffer): Support py-master-file variable. If this names a
relative path, default-directory is prepended via expand-file-name.
