Fred Drake 73921b0eec Refer to the objects which define __len__(), __*item__(), and __iter__()
as container objects rather than as mapping objects (in the index entries).
Change the section heading and intro sentence to be a little more general,
since that's how things have actually evolved.

Guido van Rossum d1d584f4e8 SF patch #462628 (Travers Naran) NNTPLib supports saving BODY to a file.
I modified nntplib so the body method can accept an
  optional second parameter pointing to a filehandle or
  filename (string). This way, really long body
  articles can be stored to disk instead of kept in
  memory. The way I made the modification should make
  it easy to extend this functionality to other extended
  return methods.

Martin v. Löwis 5f12d755a8 Properly detect recursive structures. Adopted from patch #465298. 2001-09-30 20:15:41 +00:00
Tim Peters af5910f025 The execfile() docs imply it acts on locals same as exec. But in truth
it acts more like assigning to keys in locals(), i.e. modifications to
function locals aren't reflected in the locals when execfile() returns.

Tim Peters 1c33daf143 Correct docs for long(float). 2001-09-30 06:18:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 8b13b3ede2 SF bug [#466173] unpack TypeError unclear
Replaced 3 instances of "iter() of non-sequence" with
"iteration over non-sequence".
Restored "unpack non-sequence" for stuff like "a, b = 1".

Tim Peters d38b1c74f3 SF [#466125] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer.
Generalize PyLong_AsLongLong to accept int arguments too.  The real point
is so that PyArg_ParseTuple's 'L' code does too.  That code was
undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.

Guido van Rossum 0d68246f01 Fix two typos in the text about compile(), and add two caveats from
recent user feedback: you must end the input with \n and you must use
\n, not \r\n to represent line endings.

Fred Drake 583061a10f Fix up whitespace in <args> elements; reduce sequences of consecutive
whitespace characters to a single space.
Small changes elsewhere, mostly to clean up the code a little.

Fred Drake 2b05ca3454 Minor markup improvement. 2001-09-29 05:01:59 +00:00
Fred Drake d157237d51 For Python 2.2, do not use __getattr__(), only use computed properties.
This is probably a little bit faster, but mostly is just cleaner code.
The old-style support is still used for Python versions < 2.2 so this
source file can be shared with PyXML.

Fred Drake 787fd8cdeb _dispatch(): Do no re-define the resolve_dotted_atttribute() function
every time this gets called; move it out as a global helper function.
    Simplify the call to the _dispatch() method of the registered instance.
2001-09-29 04:54:33 +00:00
Tim Peters 599db7de63 The list.sort() docs require a function that returns -1, 0 or +1. That's
never been true, and in particular implies cmp() can't be used(!).  Get
closer to the truth.

Guido van Rossum 84675acb49 The changes to ternary_op could cause a core dump. Fix this, and
rewrite the code a bit to avoid calling the same slot more than once.
2001-09-29 01:05:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bb29b9c952 Clarify the warning about the relative dates of Setup.dist and Setup;
Jeremy had seen the warning but not realized what he should do about
it.  Add the hint "Usually, copying Setup.dist to Setup will work."
2001-09-29 00:42:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 751c4c864c Add a few ``__dynamic__ = 0'' lines in classes that need to preserve
staticness when __dynamic__ = 1 becomes the default:

- Some classes which are used to test the difference between static
  and dynamic.

- Subclasses of complex: complex uses old-style numbers and the slot
  wrappers used by dynamic classes only support new-style numbers.
  (Ideally, the complex type should be fixed, but that looks like a
  labor-intensive job.)
2001-09-29 00:40:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4bb1e36eec It's a fact: for binary operators, *under certain circumstances*,
__rop__ now takes precendence over __op__.  Those circumstances are:

  - Both arguments are new-style classes
  - Both arguments are new-style numbers
  - Their implementation slots for tp_op differ
  - Their types differ
  - The right argument's type is a subtype of the left argument's type

Also did this for the ternary operator (pow) -- only the binary case
is dealt with properly though, since __rpow__ is not supported anyway.
2001-09-28 23:49:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9bea3abf0d Ouch. The wrapper for __rpow__ was the same as for __pow__, resulting
in bizarre outcomes.  Test forthcoming.

Fred Drake 7988e0249c Move XML-RPC-related docs to the "Internet Protocols" chapter.

Fred Drake 575712eaca Tighten up the new NodeList implementation.
Clean up a little; do not create an alias that is only used once, or store
attributes with constant values in an instance.

Fred Drake 88a56857f6 Remove an infelicitous space. 2001-09-28 20:16:30 +00:00
Tim Peters 9390cc15da regrtest's -g option stopped working, during the changes to improve
error-reporting for the classic compare-expected-output tests.
Curiously, the bug consisted of not simplifying the logic enough!
2001-09-28 20:14:46 +00:00
Fred Drake b2ad1c8b4d Reflect recent refinements of the regression testing framework. 2001-09-28 20:05:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e296cedef9 Be more rigorous about making pathnames absolute, to address SF bug
#424002.

Refactor init_path_from_argv0() and rename to copy_absolute(); add
absolutize() which does the same in-place.

Clean up whitespace (leading tabs -> spaces, delete trailing
spaces/tabs).
2001-09-28 20:00:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 746fe0fae5 Clean up circular references in the Weak*Dictionary classes; this avoids
depending on the cycle detector code in the library implementation.
This is a *slightly* different patch than SF patch #417795, but takes
the same approach.  (This version avoids calling the __len__() method of
the dict in the remove() functions.)
This closes SF patch #417795.

Guido van Rossum 43b9a086bf Reorder Still To Do items (highest priority on top), add one. 2001-09-28 18:19:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8b9def3aac Add complex to the dispatch tables, to avoid going through the whole
rigmarole of __reduce__.
2001-09-28 18:16:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6cef6d5d62 Changes to copy() and deepcopy() in copy.py to support __reduce__ as a
fallback for objects that are neither supported by our dispatch table
nor have a __copy__ or __deepcopy__ method.

Changes to _reduce() in copy_reg.py to support reducing objects that
don't have a __dict__ -- copy.copy(complex()) now invokes _reduce().

Add tests for copy.copy() and copy.deepcopy() to test_regrtest.py.

Fred Drake 3c171d1b9f Convert to string methods.
For the real document element, make sure the prolog is migrated into
the document element so it isn't left stranded.

Make fixup_trailing_whitespace() whitespace do what was really intended.

Add the *desc environments used in the C API manual to the list of
things that can exist at the paragraph level so they don't get wrapped
in <para>...</para>.
