Marc-André Lemburg a544ea2354 Undoing the whitespace patches which sneaked into the earlier patch. 2001-01-17 18:04:31 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg ad7c98e264 This patch adds a new builtin unistr() which behaves like str()
except that it always returns Unicode objects.

A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.

This closes patch #101664.

Fred Drake 6b3f3f2861 In the first discussion showing how to handle exceptions from C, make the
Python equivalent actually equivalent to the C code.  Also, in the C code,
place the "goto" statements on a line by themselves for better visibility
of statements that affect control flow.

This closes bug #123398.

Fred Drake ee814bf2c9 Added documentation for the Py_InitModule*() family of functions. 2000-11-28 22:34:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 8902442e2f Added exception to the rule that the buffer returned by PyString_AsString()
and PyString_AsStringAndSize() for strings that were just created using
PyString_FromStringAndSize(NULL, n).

This closes bug #117377.

Added warning about passing NULL to the concrete object functions; many of
them use the appropriate Py<Type>_Check() test, but do not check for NULL.

"de-allocated" --> "deallocated"

Fred Drake 89fb035248 For PyErr_Format(), note that the exception parameter can be a string or
class, but not an instance (since an instance will be created using the
formatted message string as the constructor parameter).

Fred Drake 5d64421c23 Fix a couple of places where the descriptions of *_GET_SIZE() macros said
they were similar to *_GetSize(); should be similar to *_Size().

Error noted by William Park <parkw@better.net>.

This closes SourceForge bug #114792.
2000-09-21 21:35:22 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg d1ba443206 This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize()
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.

The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890.

As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.

Fred Drake f913e542be Vladimir Marangozov <Vladimir.Marangozov@inrialpes.fr>:
Here are some changes to the C API docs. The memory examples & API have
been updated because one malloc family is gone (Py_Malloc).
You'll see other small additions to the "building new types" section
for completeness and some cleanup at the end of the memory section.

Fred Drake 510d08bfe4 In the section on the "Very High Level Layer", address concerns brought up
by Edward K. Ream <edream@users.sourceforge.net> about FILE* values and
incompatible C libraries in dynamically linked extensions.  It is not clear
(to me) how realistic the issue is, but it is better documented than not.

This closes SourceForge bug #111520.

                     code that uses it.
