Jeremy Hylton 4c989ddc9c Subclasses of string can no longer be interned. The semantics of
interning were not clear here -- a subclass could be mutable, for
example -- and had bugs.  Explicitly interning a subclass of string
via intern() will raise a TypeError.  Internal operations that attempt
to intern a string subclass will have no effect.

Added a few tests to test_builtin that includes the old buggy code and
verifies that calls like PyObject_SetAttr() don't fail.  Perhaps these
tests should have gone in test_string.

Tim Peters 8485b56216 Edward Loper's cool and massive refactoring of doctest.py, merged from
the tim-doctest-merge-24a2 tag on the the tim-doctest-branch branch.
We did development on the branch in case it wouldn't land in time for
2.4a2, but the branch looked good:  Edward's tests passed there, ditto
Python's tests, and ditto the Zope3 tests.  Together, those hit doctest
heavily.

Hye-Shik Chang 7df44b384a SF #941229: Decode source code with sys.stdin.encoding in interactive
modes like non-interactive modes.  This allows for non-latin-1 users
to write unicode strings directly and sets Japanese users free from
weird manual escaping <wink> in shift_jis environments.

Hye-Shik Chang e9ddfbb412 SF #989185: Drop unicode.iswide() and unicode.width() and add
unicodedata.east_asian_width().  You can still implement your own
simple width() function using it like this:
    def width(u):
        w = 0
        for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
            cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
            if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2
            else: w += 1
        return w

Hye-Shik Chang b5047fd019 Add a workaround for a problem that UTF-8 strings can be corrupted
or broken by basic ctype functions in 4.4BSD descendants.  This
will be fixed in their future development branches but they'll keep
the POSIX-incompatibility for their backward-compatiblities in near
future.

Tim Peters 66bb6e661c SF bug 996392: math and cmath docs don't specify radians
Major rewrite of the math module docs.  Slapped in "radians" where
appropriate; grouped the functions into reasonable categories; supplied
many more words to address common confusions about some of the subtler
issues.

Marc-André Lemburg b314ce91d3 Add news item for u'%s' change. 2004-07-23 16:14:57 +00:00
Gustavo Niemeyer 7bd33c5e22 This change implements the following gettext features, as
discussed recently in python-dev:

In _locale module:

- bind_textdomain_codeset() binding

In gettext module:

- bind_textdomain_codeset() function
- lgettext(), lngettext(), ldgettext(), ldngettext(),
  which return translated strings encoded in
  preferred system encoding, if
  bind_textdomain_codeset() was not used.
- Added equivalent functionality in translate()
  function and catalog classes.

Every change was also documented.

Tim Peters aa1c7ff7e8 SF patch 995225: tarfile.py fix for bug #990325

Brett Cannon 8b3d92a977 Fix bug where a KeyError was raised if -O was being used for the interpreter
and Thread.__delete() was called after a Thread instance was created.  Problem
resulted from a currentThread() call in an 'assert' statement being optimized
out and dummy_thread.get_ident() always returning -1 and thus overwriting the
entry for the _MainThread() instance created in 'threading' at import time.

Closes bug #993394.

Tim Peters 90ee7eb18e Record that FCNTL.py has gone away; remove FCNTL hack in tempfile.py;
another hack remains in test___all__.py, but the problem that one
addresses is more general than *just* FCNTL, so leaving it alone.

Tim Peters 5af0e41482 Bug #788520: Queue class has logic error when non-blocking
I don't agree it had a bug (see the report), so this is *not* a candidate
for backporting, but the docs were confusing and the Queue implementation
was old enough to vote.

Rewrote put/put_nowait/get/get_nowait from scratch, to use a pair of
Conditions (not_full and not_empty), sharing a common mutex.  The code
is 1/4 the size now, and 6.25x easier to understand.  For blocking
with timeout, we also get to reuse (indirectly) the tedious timeout
code from threading.Condition.  The Full and Empty exceptions raised
by non-blocking calls are now easy (instead of nearly impossible) to
explain truthfully:  Full is raised if and only if the Queue truly
is full when the non-blocking put call checks the queue size, and
similarly for Empty versus non-blocking get.

What I don't know is whether the new implementation is slower (or
faster) than the old one.  I don't really care.  Anyone who cares
a lot is encouraged to check that.

Tim Peters 183dabcd73 SF patch 986010: add missing doc for datetime C API, from
Anthony Tuininga.

This is a derived patch, taking the opportunity to add some organization
to the now-large pile of datetime-related macros, and to factor out
tedious repeated text.

Also improved some clumsy wording in NEWS.

Brett Cannon d2c5b4b549 SequenceMatcher(None, [], []).get_grouped_opcodes() now returns a generator
