[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers

Raw documentation for the bdist_wininst postinstallation script.
...
People are already using it, so these docs are certainly better than
no docs at all. Markup is mostly missing and the layout is probably
ugly, but this can be fixed later.
Question: there are references to MS docs for the CSIDL_... constants
and the IShellLink interface. Are these pointers sufficient, or should
the MS docs reworded and repeated here?

Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is
...
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.
This closes SF patch #649608 .

Patch #651621 , approved by MvL.
...
This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with
an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance:
z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w")
z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data)
z.close()
I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient
for simple (but common) things.
If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo
instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time,
which makes sense to me for anonymous data.

Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for
SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher

*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty. Better
than a core dump.

c1ddc505d9
Minor revision to the "\\" patch, including updating the docs a little to
...
accomodate the fact that they are more general now that they are for the
os.path module and not just posixpath.
This and the previous patch should be combined and applied to the 2.2-maint
branch.
2002-09-12 18:01:26 +00:00

This adds two new functions to mimetypes:
guess_all_extensions() which returns a list of all known
extensions for a mime type, and add_type() which adds one
mapping between a mime type and an extension.

Further SET_LINENO reomval fixes. See comments in patch #587933 .
...
Use a slightly different strategy to determine when not to call the line
trace function. This removes the need for the RETURN_NONE opcode, so
that's gone again. Update docs and comments to match.
Thanks to Neal and Armin!
Also add a test suite. This should have come with the original patch...
2002-08-30 13:09:51 +00:00

usually isn't what we want anyway.
2002-08-27 16:34:54 +00:00
ea76c98014
Implemented <, <=, >, >= for sets, giving subset and proper-subset
...
meanings. I did not add new, e.g., ispropersubset() methods; we're
going nuts on those, and, e.g., there was no "friendly name" for
== either.
2002-08-25 18:43:10 +00:00
7ad09552d0
Correct documentation of allow_reuse_address to match the actual script.
...
Closes SF bug 599681.
2002-08-25 16:27:33 +00:00
e87ab3fefe
Removed < <= > >= from the API. Implemented as comparisons of the
...
underlying dictionaries, there were no reasonable use cases (lexicographic
sorting of a list of sets is somewhat esoteric). Frees the operators
for other uses (such as strict subset and superset comparisons).
Updated documentation and test suite accordingly.

be able to locate this information without knowing the PEP number.
2002-08-22 16:51:08 +00:00

Add a note that apply() is needed since the extended call syntax is

completely equivalent.

Added a main() function and support to run this module as a script.

Closes SF feature request #588768 .
2002-08-21 20:56:21 +00:00
5b09eeea89
Clarify that even though some of the relevant specifications define the
...
order in which form variables should be encoded in a request, a CGI script
should not rely on that since a client may not conform to those specs, or
they may not be relevant to the request.
Closes SF bug #596866 .
2002-08-21 19:24:21 +00:00
a6e16a86c4
Replace all cases of "while 1" with "while True".
...
Though slightly slower, has better clarity and teaching value.

Clarify the endpos argument to the rx.match() method.

Cover the sets module.

(There's a link to PEP218; has PEP218 been updated to match the actual
module implementation?)
2002-08-20 01:34:06 +00:00

2002-08-19 21:58:58 +00:00
45ec02aed1
SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation of
...
interning. I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged. Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.
2002-08-19 21:43:18 +00:00
5959c559df
Added __pow__(a,b) to the operator module. Completes the pattern of
