their 'i' and 'r' variants) were not being generated if the
corresponding nb_ slots were present in the type object. I bet this
is because floor and true division were introduced after I last
looked at that part of the code.
the local save/modify/restore of sys.stdout, but add machinery so that
regrtest can tell test_support the value of sys.stdout at the time
regrtest.main() started, and test_support can pass that out later to anyone
who needs a "visible" stdout.
the object has been pickled; don't mutate the instance dict in the
__getstate__() method. Other minor changes for style. Broke up the
displayed interactive session to get better page-breaking behavior for
typeset versions, and to point out an important aspect of the example.
This closes SF bug #453914.
- Made cls.__module__ writable.
- Ensure that obj.__dict__ is returned as {}, not None, even upon first
reference; it simply springs into life when you ask for it.
(*) The pickling support is provisional for the following reasons:
- It doesn't support classes with __slots__.
- It relies on additional support in copy_reg.py: the C method
__reduce__, defined in the object class, really calls calling
copy_reg._reduce(obj). Eventually the Python code in copy_reg.py
needs to be migrated to C, but I'd like to experiment with the
Python implementation first. The _reduce() code also relies on an
additional helper function, _reconstructor(), defined in
copy_reg.py; this should also be reimplemented in C.
Cleaned up a bunch of XXX comments containing links to additional
information, replacing them with proper references.
Replaced "MacOS" with "Mac OS", since that's what the style guide says.
property() (get, set, del; not set, get, del).
+ Change "Data defined/inherited in ..." header lines to
"Data and non-method functions defined/inherited in ...". Things like
the value of __class__, and __new__, and class vrbls like the i in
class C:
i = int
show up in this section too. I don't think it's worth a separate
section to distinguish them from non-callable attrs, and there's no
obvious reliable way to distinguish callable from non-callable attrs
anyway.
than <type 'ClassName'>. Exception: if it's a built-in type or an
extension type, continue to call it <type 'ClassName>. Call me a
wimp, but I don't want to break more user code than necessary.
same. I hope the test for structural equivalence is stringent enough.
It only allows the assignment if the old and new types:
- have the same basic size
- have the same item size
- have the same dict offset
- have the same weaklist offset
- have the same GC flag bit
- have a common base that is the same except for maybe the dict and
weaklist (which may have been added separately at the same offsets
in both types)
always been close to useless, because the <small>-ified docstrings
were too small to read, even after cranking up my default font size
just for pydoc. Now it reads fine under my defaults (as does most
of the web <0.5 wink>). If it's thought important to play tricks
with font size, tough, then someone should rework pydoc to use style
sheets, and (more) predictable percentage-of-default size controls.
+ Tried to ensure that all <dt> and <dd> tags are closed. I've read (but
don't know) that some browsers get confused if they're not, and esp.
when style sheets are in use too.
properties: the docstring (if any) is displayed, and the getter, setter
and deleter (if any) functions are named. All that is shown indented
after the property name.
+ Text-mode pydoc class display now draws a horizontal line between
class attribute groups (similar to GUI mode -- while visually more
intrusive in text mode, it's still an improvement).
- property() now takes 4 keyword arguments: fget, fset, fdel, doc.
Note that the real purpose of the 'f' prefix is to make fdel fit in
('del' is a keyword, so can't used as a keyword argument name).
- These map to visible readonly attributes 'fget', 'fset', 'fdel',
and '__doc__' in the property object.
- fget/fset/fdel weren't discoverable from Python before.
- __doc__ is new, and allows to associate a docstring with a property.
declarations and weird markup that we used to accept & ignore that recent
versions raised an exception for; the original behavior has been restored
and augmented (the user can decide what to do if they care; the default is
to ignore it as done in early versions).
Use a new internal method, error(), consistently to raise parse errors;
the new base class also uses this.
Adjust the parse_comment() method to return the new offset into the buffer
instead of the number of characters scanned; this was the only helper
method that did it this way, so we have better consistency now. Required
to share the new base class.
This fixes SF bug #448482 and #453706.
and HTMLParser modules (and indirectly for the htmllib.HTMLParser class).
This has all the support for scanning over DOCTYPE declarations; it warrants
having a base class since this is a fair amount of tedious code (since it's
fairly strict), and should be in a separate module to avoid compiling many
REs that are not used (which would happen if this were placed in either then
sgmllib or HTMLParser module).
popped frame-block. What an embarrassing bug! Especially for Jeremy, since
he accepted the patch :-)
This fixes SF bugs #463359 and #462937, and possibly other, *very* obscure
bugs with very deeply nested loops that continue the loop and then break out
of it or raise an exception.
introduced in Python 2.2.
Add documentation for the slice object interface (not complete).
Added version annotations for several of the Python 2.2 APIs already
documented.
+ Minor code cleanup, generalization and simplification.
+ "Do something" to make the attribute aggregation more apparent:
- In text mode, stick a "* " at the front of subgroup header lines.
- In GUI mode, display a horizontal rule between subgroups.
For GUI mode, this is a huge improvement, at least under IE.
mode (identify the source class for class attrs; segregate attrs according
to source class, and whether class method, static method, property, plain
method, or data; display data attrs; display docstrings for data attrs
when possible).
Alas, this is mondo ugly, and I'm no HTML guy. Part of the problem is
that pydoc's GUI mode has always been ugly under IE, largely because
<small> under IE renders docstrings unreadably small (while sometimes
non-docstring text is painfully large). Another part is that these
segregated listings of attrs would *probably* look much better as bulleted
lists. Alas, when I tried that, the bullets all ended up on lines by
themselves, before the method names; this is apparently because pydoc
(ab?)uses definition lists for format effects, and at least under IE
if a definition list is the first chunk of a list item, it gets rendered
on a line after the <li> bullet.
An HTML wizard would certainly be welcomed here.
