Gustavo Niemeyer a33d0aa693 Unparenting BZ2File, as discussed in SF patch #661796.
* Modules/bz2module.c
  (BZ2FileObject): Now the structure includes a pointer to a file object,
   instead of "inheriting" one. Also, some members were copied from the
   PyFileObject structure to avoid dealing with the internals of that
   structure from outside fileobject.c.

  (Util_GetLine,Util_DropReadAhead,Util_ReadAhead,Util_ReadAheadGetLineSkip,
   BZ2File_write,BZ2File_writelines,BZ2File_init,BZ2File_dealloc,
   BZ2Comp_dealloc,BZ2Decomp_dealloc):
   	These functions were adapted to the change above.

  (BZ2File_seek,BZ2File_close): Use PyObject_CallMethod instead of
   getting the function attribute locally.

  (BZ2File_notsup): Removed, since it's not necessary anymore to overload
   truncate(), and readinto() with dummy functions.

  (BZ2File_methods): Added xreadlines() as an alias to BZ2File_getiter,
   and removed truncate() and readinto().

  (BZ2File_get_newlines,BZ2File_get_closed,BZ2File_get_mode,BZ2File_get_name,
   BZ2File_getset):
   	Implemented getters for "newlines", "mode", and "name".

  (BZ2File_members): Implemented "softspace" member.

  (BZ2File_init): Reworked to create a file instance instead of initializing
   itself as a file subclass. Also, pass "name" object untouched to the
   file constructor, and use PyObject_CallFunction instead of building the
   argument tuple locally.

  (BZ2File_Type): Set tp_new to PyType_GenericNew, tp_members to
   BZ2File_members, and tp_getset to BZ2File_getset.

  (initbz2): Do not set BZ2File_Type.tp_base nor BZ2File_Type.tp_new.


* Doc/lib/libbz2.tex
  Do not mention that BZ2File inherits from the file type.

Tim Peters 07534a607b Comparison for timedelta, time, date and datetime objects: __eq__ and
__ne__ no longer complain if they don't know how to compare to the other
thing.  If no meaningful way to compare is known, saying "not equal" is
sensible.  This allows things like

    if adatetime in some_sequence:
and
    somedict[adatetime] = whatever

to work as expected even if some_sequence contains non-datetime objects,
or somedict non-datetime keys, because they only call __eq__.

It still complains (raises TypeError) for mixed-type comparisons in
contexts that require a total ordering, such as list.sort(), use as a
key in a BTree-based data structure, and cmp().

Anthony Baxter 983b008824 Updated version of [ 558544 ] cmd.py: add instance-specific stdin/out
This patch adds stdin, stdout as optional arguments to the cmd.Cmd
constructor (defaulting to sys.stdin, sys.stdout), and changes the Cmd
methods throughout to use self.stdout.write() and self.stdin.foo for
output and input. This allows much greater flexibility for using cmd -
for instance, hooking it into a telnet server.

Patch for library module and for documentation.

commen.  (PyInt_FromString is also not described, but PyLong_FromString is.
Is the former deprecated?)

Walter Dörwald 2e0b18af30 Change the treatment of positions returned by PEP293
error handers in the Unicode codecs: Negative
positions are treated as being relative to the end of
the input and out of bounds positions result in an
IndexError.

Also update the PEP and include an explanation of
this in the documentation for codecs.register_error.

Fixes a small bug in iconv_codecs: if the position
from the callback is negative *add* it to the size
instead of substracting it.

From SF patch #677429.

Tim Peters 8d81a012ef date and datetime comparison: when we don't know how to
compare against "the other" argument, we raise TypeError,
in order to prevent comparison from falling back to the
default (and worse than useless, in this case) comparison
by object address.

That's fine so far as it goes, but leaves no way for
another date/datetime object to make itself comparable
to our objects.  For example, it leaves Marc-Andre no way
to teach mxDateTime dates how to compare against Python
dates.

Discussion on Python-Dev raised a number of impractical
ideas, and the simple one implemented here:  when we don't
know how to compare against "the other" argument, we raise
TypeError *unless* the other object has a timetuple attr.
In that case, we return NotImplemented instead, and Python
will give the other object a shot at handling the
comparison then.

Note that comparisons of time and timedelta objects still
suffer the original problem, though.

Tim Peters 2a44a8d332 SF bug 660872: datetimetz constructors behave counterintuitively (2.3a1).
This gives much the same treatment to datetime.fromtimestamp(stamp, tz) as
the last batch of checkins gave to datetime.now(tz):  do "the obvious"
thing with the tz argument instead of a senseless thing.

Tim Peters f196a0a4dd "Premature" doc changes, for new astimezone() rules, and the new
tzinfo.fromutc() method.  The C code doesn't implement any of this
yet (well, not the C code on the machine I'm using now), nor does
the test suite reflect it.  The Python datetime.py implementation and
test suite in the sandbox do match these doc changes.  The C
implementation probably won't catch up before Thursday (Wednesday is
a scheduled "black hole" day this week <0.4 wink>).

2003-01-21 01:38:47 +00:00
Tim Peters 327098a613 New rule for tzinfo subclasses handling both standard and daylight time:
When daylight time ends, an hour repeats on the local clock (for example,
in US Eastern, the clock jumps from 1:59 back to 1:00 again).  Times in
the repeated hour are ambiguous.  A tzinfo subclass that wants to play
with astimezone() needs to treat times in the repeated hour as being
standard time.  astimezone() previously required that such times be
treated as daylight time.  There seems no killer argument either way,
but Guido wants the standard-time version, and it does seem easier the
new way to code both American (local-time based) and European (UTC-based)
switch rules, and the astimezone() implementation is simpler.
