This moves styling to the stylesheet; the use of <dl> structures to control
style sometimes produced improper indentation of subsequent text in many
browsers when the text was already part of the <dl> structure (as in a
function or class description).
Add a method zfill to str, unicode and UserString and change
Lib/string.py accordingly.
This activates the zfill version in unicodeobject.c that was
commented out and implements the same in stringobject.c. It also
adds the test for unicode support in Lib/string.py back in and
uses repr() instead() of str() (as it was before Lib/string.py 1.62)
Complex numbers implement divmod() and //, neither of which makes one
lick of sense. Unfortunately this is documented, so I'm adding a
deprecation warning now, so we can delete this silliness, oh, around
2005 or so.
Bugfix candidate (At least for 2.2.2, I think.)
In DatagramRequestHandler.setup(), the wfile initialization should be
StringIO.StringIO(), not StringIO.StringIO(slf.packet).
Bugfix candidate (all the way back to Python 1.5.2 :-).
The problem was that an exception can occur in the text.get() call or
in the write() call, when the text buffer contains non-ASCII
characters. This causes the previous contents of the file to be lost.
The provisional fix is to call str(self.text.get(...)) *before*
opening the file, so that if the exception occurs, we never open the
file.
Two orthogonal better solutions have to wait for policy decisions:
1. We could try to encode the data as Latin-1 or as UTF-8; but that
would require IDLE to grow a notion of file encoding which requires
more thought.
2. We could make backups before overwriting a file. This requires
more thought because it needs to be fast and cross-platform and
configurable.
Highlights: import and friends will understand any of \r, \n and \r\n
as end of line. Python file input will do the same if you use mode 'U'.
Everything can be disabled by configuring with --without-universal-newlines.
See PEP278 for details.
Added code to call this when PYMALLOC_DEBUG is enabled, and envar
PYTHONMALLOCSTATS is set, whenever a new arena is obtained and once
late in the Python shutdown process.
Put a bound on the number of frameobjects that can live in the
frameobject free_list.
Am also backporting to 2.2. I don't intend to backport to 2.1 (too
much work -- lots of cyclic structures leak there, and the GC API).
Add optional arg to string methods strip(), lstrip(), rstrip().
The optional arg specifies characters to delete.
Also for UserString.
Still to do:
- Misc/NEWS
- LaTeX docs (I did the docstrings though)
- Unicode methods, and Unicode support in the string methods.
_PyObject_DebugMalloc: explicitly cast PyObject_Malloc's result to the
target pointer type.
_PyObject_DebugDumpStats: change decl of arena_alignment from unsigned
int to unsigned long.
This is for the 2.3 release only (it's new code).
(The real issue is whether modules can benefit from an alternate
implementation strategy rather than using a dictionary. We should migrate
away from direct dictionary manipulation to allow more room for Jeremy to
flex the implementation with changes in globals lookup.)
