Marc-André Lemburg 8155e0e541 This patch originated from an idea by Martin v. Loewis who submitted a
patch for sharing single character Unicode objects.

Martin's patch had to be reworked in a number of ways to take Unicode
resizing into consideration as well. Here's what the updated patch
implements:

* Single character Unicode strings in the Latin-1 range are shared
  (not only ASCII chars as in Martin's original patch).

* The ASCII and Latin-1 codecs make use of this optimization,
  providing a noticable speedup for single character strings. Most
  Unicode methods can use the optimization as well (by virtue
  of using PyUnicode_FromUnicode()).

* Some code cleanup was done (replacing memcpy with Py_UNICODE_COPY)

* The PyUnicode_Resize() can now also handle the case of resizing
  unicode_empty which previously resulted in an error.

* Modified the internal API _PyUnicode_Resize() and
  the public PyUnicode_Resize() API to handle references to
  shared objects correctly. The _PyUnicode_Resize() signature
  changed due to this.

* Callers of PyUnicode_FromUnicode() may now only modify the Unicode
  object contents of the returned object in case they called the API
  with NULL as content template.

Note that even though this patch passes the regression tests, there
may still be subtle bugs in the sharing code.

Guido van Rossum 8b3d6ca3df At the suggestion of Peter Funk, document 'key in dict' and 'key not
in dict' after has_key(), with a \versionadded{2.2} note.

Fred Drake 34b48e844e Update publish-to-SourceForge scripts to automatically determine if the
branch is the head (development) branch or a maintenance brach, and use
the appropriate target directory for each.

Fred Drake 82f93c693d Only document <file>.xreadlines() once; added version annotation.

support for it here.
2001-04-21 05:48:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0dbb4fba4c Implement, test and document "key in dict" and "key not in dict".
I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial,
I'll take it out again.  (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like
it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-)

That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm
about to check in next.

Fred Drake 1aec3a16f3 Add versioning notes: many of the signatures changed to allow the time
used to be omitted (meaning use the current time) as of Python 2.1.
Users who need cross-version portability need to know things like this.
2001-04-19 04:55:23 +00:00
Fred Drake bc524c4e9f Cut-&-paste-o noted by Wolfgang Teschner: decompressobj() returns
*DE*compression objects, not compression objects!
2001-04-18 20:16:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 895aa9da4c Suggestion from Keith Briggs: refer to RE objects consistently instead of
introducing a new term ("regex") without defining it.

2001-04-18 03:18:57 +00:00
Fred Drake c2b29d0fee Added support for optional explanation parameter to the \versionadded

of the work in a helper function, with the do_cmd_*() wrappers just supplying
a portion of the replacement text.
2001-04-18 03:11:04 +00:00
Fred Drake fdfb05bb0b \versionadded: Add support for including an explanatory note along with
the versioning information, similar to \versionchanged.

Fred Drake 5d6e402e0c Based on a comment by Konrad Hinsen on python-list:
Change "EOF" to "end-of-file", on the premise that it is easier for
new programmers to understand (at least a little).

This does not attempt to explain "file or device attached to standard
input."
