If anyone wants to clean up the documentation, feel free. It's my first documentation foray, and it's not that great.
Will port to py3k with a different strategy.
- simplify parsing and printing of complex numbers
- make complex(repr(z)) round-tripping work for complex
numbers involving nans, infs, or negative zeros
- don't accept some of the stranger complex strings
that were previously allowed---e.g., complex('1..1j')
int, long, and float __format__(), and it keeps their implementation
in sync with py3k.
Also added PyOS_double_to_string. This is the "fallback" version
that's also available in trunk, and should be kept in sync with that
code. I'll add an issue to document PyOS_double_to_string in the C
API.
There are many internal cleanups. Externally visible changes include:
- Implement PEP 378, Format Specifier for Thousands Separator, for
floats, ints, and longs.
- Issue #5515: 'n' formatting for ints, longs, and floats handles
leading zero formatting poorly.
- Issue #5772: For float.__format__, don't add a trailing ".0" if
we're using no type code and we have an exponent.
correctly rounded, using round-half-to-even. This ensures that the
value of float(n) doesn't depend on whether we're using 15-bit digits
or 30-bit digits for Python longs.
untrackable objects are not tracked by the garbage collector. This can
reduce the size of collections and therefore the garbage collection overhead
on long-running programs, depending on their particular use of datatypes.
(trivia: this makes the "binary_trees" benchmark from the Computer Language
Shootout 40% faster)
The basic algorithm remains the same; the most significant speedups
come from the following three changes:
(1) normalize by shifting instead of multiplying and dividing
(2) the old algorithm usually did an unnecessary extra iteration of
the outer loop; remove this. As a special case, this means that
long divisions with a single-digit result run twice as fast as
before.
(3) make inner loop much tighter.
Various benchmarks show speedups of between 50% and 150% for long
integer divisions and modulo operations.
sizeof(Py_UNICODE) == 2, PyUnicode_FromWideChar now converts
each character outside the BMP to the appropriate surrogate pair.
Thanks Victor Stinner for the patch.
(backport of r70452 from py3k to trunk)
For simple uses for str.format(), this makes the typing easier. Hopfully this
will help in the adoption of str.format().
For example:
'The {} is {}'.format('sky', 'blue')
You can mix and matcth auto-numbering and named replacement fields:
'The {} is {color}'.format('sky', color='blue')
But you can't mix and match auto-numbering and specified numbering:
'The {0} is {}'.format('sky', 'blue')
ValueError: cannot switch from manual field specification to automatic field numbering
Will port to 3.1.
and cleanups in Objects/longobject.c. The most significant change is that
longs now use less memory: average savings are 2 bytes per long on 32-bit
systems and 6 bytes per long on 64-bit systems. (This memory saving already
exists in py3k.)
platforms. The previous code was fragile, depending on the twin
accidents that:
(1) in C, casting the double value 2.**63 to long returns the integer
value -2**63, and
(2) in Python, hash(-2**63) == hash(2**63).
There's already a test for this in test_hash.
- fix some places where counters into ob_digit were declared as
int instead of Py_ssize_t
- add (twodigit) casts where necessary
- fix code in _PyLong_AsByteArray that uses << on negative values
#4759: allow None as first argument of bytearray.translate(), for consistency with bytes.translate().
Also fix segfault for bytearray.translate(x, None) -- will backport this part to 3.0 and 2.6.
the __long__ slot is allowed to return either int or long, but the behaviour of
float objects should not change between 2.5 and 2.6.

Optimization of str.format() for cases with str, unicode, int, long,
and float arguments. This gives about 30% speed improvement for the
simplest (but most common) cases. This patch skips the __format__
dispatch, and also avoids creating an object to hold the format_spec.
Unfortunately there's a complication in 2.6 with int, long, and float
because they always expect str format_specs. So in the unicode
version of this optimization, just check for unicode objects. int,
float, long, and str can be added later, if needed.
long raise ValueError instead of returning 0. Also, change the error
message for conversion of an infinity to an integer, replacing 'long' by
'integer', so that it's appropriate for both long(float('inf')) and
int(float('inf')).

An instance of a weakref subclass can have attributes.
If such a weakref holds the only strong reference to the object,
deleting the weakref will delete the object. In this case,
the callback must not be called, because the ref object is being deleted!

Adds 'n' as a format specifier for integers, to mirror the same
specifier which is already available for floats. 'n' is the same as
'd', but inserts the current locale-specific thousands grouping.
I added this as a stringlib function, but it's only used by str type,
not unicode. This is because of an implementation detail in
unicode.format(), which does its own str->unicode conversion. But the
unicode version will be needed in 3.0, and it may be needed by other
code eventually in 2.6 (maybe decimal?), so I left it as a stringlib
implementation. As long as the unicode version isn't instantiated,
there's no overhead for this.
Renamed copy_reg to copyreg in the standard library, to avoid
spurious warnings and ease later merging to py3k branch. Public
documentation remains intact.
The patch also adds acosh, asinh, atanh, log1p and copysign to all platforms. Finally it fixes differences between platforms like different results or exceptions for edge cases. Have fun :)
close() will now raise an IOError if any operations on the file object

Fixes issue 815646 and 595601 (as well as many other bugs and

Rather than sprinkle casts throughout the code, change Py_CHARMASK to
always cast it's result to an unsigned char. This should ensure we
do the right thing when accessing an array with the result.
