Guido van Rossum 8746082175 Patch by Tim Peters:
Introduce a new builtin exception, UnboundLocalError, raised when ceval.c
tries to retrieve or delete a local name that isn't bound to a value.
Currently raises NameError, which makes this behavior a FAQ since the same
error is raised for "missing" global names too:  when the user has a global
of the same name as the unbound local, NameError makes no sense to them.
Even in the absence of shadowing, knowing whether a bogus name is local or
global is a real aid to quick understanding.

Example:

D:\src\PCbuild>type local.py
x = 42

def f():
    print x
    x = 13
    return x

f()

D:\src\PCbuild>python local.py
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "local.py", line 8, in ?
    f()
  File "local.py", line 4, in f
    print x
UnboundLocalError: x

D:\src\PCbuild>

Note that UnboundLocalError is a subclass of NameError, for compatibility
with existing class-exception code that may be trying to catch this as a
NameError.  Unfortunately, I see no way to make this wholly compatible
with -X (see comments in bltinmodule.c):  under -X, [UnboundLocalError
is an alias for NameError --GvR].

[The ceval.c patch differs slightly from the second version that Tim
submitted; I decided not to raise UnboundLocalError for DELETE_NAME,
only for DELETE_LOCAL.  DELETE_NAME is only generated at the module
level, and since at that level a NameError is raised for referencing
an undefined name, it should also be raised for deleting one.]

Guido van Rossum 7f85186921 # Darn! Local variable l declared but not used in abstract_issubclass(). 1999-06-17 19:12:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 668213d3b8 Patch by Jim Fulton (code style tweaked a bit) to support
ExtensionClasses in isinstance() and issubclass().

  - abstract instance and class protocols are used *only* in those
    cases that would generate errors before the patch.  That is, there's
    no penalty for the normal case.

  - instance protocol: an object smells like an instance if it
    has a __class__ attribute that smells like a class.

  - class protocol: an object smells like a class if it has a
    __bases__ attribute that is a tuple with elements that
    smell like classes (although not all elements may actually get
    sniffed ;).

Guido van Rossum 99fb7c70f4 Remove unused variable from complex_from_string() code. 1999-04-07 16:05:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1195023b89 Patch by Nick and Stephanie Lockwood to implement complex() with a string
argument.  This closes TODO item 2.19.

Guido van Rossum 0daf022225 New builtin buffer() creates a derived read-only buffer from any
object that supports the buffer interface (e.g. strings, arrays).
1999-03-19 19:07:19 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 72b715d979 (initerrors): Make sure that the exception tuples ("base-classes" when
string-based exceptions are used) reflect the real class hierarchy,
i.e. that SystemExit derives from Exception not StandardError.
1999-02-24 00:35:43 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 124eff0225 Patch by Tim Peters to improve the range checks for range() and
xrange(), especially for platforms where int and long are different
sizes (so sys.maxint isn't actually the theoretical limit for the
length of a list, but the largest C int is -- sys.maxint is the
largest Python int, which is actually a C long).
1999-02-23 16:11:01 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 7890203f49 bltin_exc[]: EnvironmentError is not a "leaf exception", so set it's
leaf_exc flag to zero otherwise the name leaks memory.
1999-01-29 20:29:49 +00:00
Barry Warsaw fa77e09dd0 builtin_map(): A better fix for the previous leak plug (remember
PyList_Append steals a reference even if it fails).

builtin_filter(): Had the same leak problem as builtin_map().
1999-01-28 18:49:12 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 2133287c3e builtin_map(): Nailed memory leak. PyList_Append() borrows a
reference, so you have to DECREF the appended value.  This was a fun
one!
1999-01-28 04:21:35 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f988e687a1 builtin_complex(): Nailed memory leak. This one's in the instance
test for classes with a __complex__() method.  The attribute is pulled
out of the instance with PyObject_GetAttr() but this transfers
ownership and the function object was never DECREF'd.
1999-01-27 23:13:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e23cde2f8d Avoid overflow if possible in calculations for range(); report
unavoidable overflow as OverflowError.
1999-01-12 05:07:47 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 344864fcfb Added new builtin standard exception: NotImplementedError (its C
counterpart is PyExc_NotImplementedError).
1998-12-01 18:52:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum df12a59305 Fix cosmetic bug in delattr docstring discovered by JvR. 1998-11-23 22:13:04 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 968f8cbace builtin_apply(): Second argument type check is relaxed to allow any sequence. 1998-10-01 15:33:12 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 98b6246c0c Several changes that Python carry on in the face of errors in the
initialization of class exceptions.  Specifically:

init_class_exc(): This function now returns an integer status of the
class exception initialization.  No fatal errors in this method now.
Also, use PySys_WriteStderr() when writing error messages.  When an
error occurs in this function, 0 is returned, but the partial creation
of the exception classes is not undone (this happens elsewhere).

Things that could trigger the fallback:

    - exceptions.py fails to be imported (due to syntax error, etc.)

    - one of the exception classes is missing (e.g. due to library
      version mismatch)

    - exception class can't be inserted into __builtin__'s dictionary

    - MemoryError instance can't be pre-allocated

    - some other PyErr_Occurred

newstdexception(): Changed the error message.  This is still a fatal
error because if the string based exceptions can't be created, we
really can't continue.

initerrors(): Be sure to xdecref the .exc field, which might be
non-NULL if class exceptions init was aborted.

_PyBuiltin_Init_2(): If class exception init fails, print a warning
message and reinstate the string based exceptions.
1998-09-14 18:51:11 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 746340d989 Should no longer surround PyOS_Readline() call with
Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS macros.  Also get rid of the declaration
for it (it's now in pythonrun.h).
1998-09-03 22:25:05 +00:00
Barry Warsaw d086a1a864 Added support for two new standard errors: EnvironmentError and
OSError.  The EnvironmentError serves primarily as the (common
implementation) base class for IOError and OSError.  OSError is used
by posixmodule.c

Also added tuple definition of EnvironmentError when using string
based exceptions.
1998-07-23 15:59:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fa4ac71dd6 Small changes to map() and filter():
(1) If a sequence S is shorter than len(S) indicated, don't fail --
just use the shorter size.  (I.e, len(S) is just a hint.)

(2) Implement the special case map(None, S) as list(S) -- it's faster.
1998-07-10 17:37:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8ea9f4d10a Fix a stupid little bug: len() of an unsized returns -1 and leaves an
exception waiting to happen next...

Guido van Rossum 950ff2923a Experimental feature: add default argument to getattr(). 1998-06-29 13:38:57 +00:00

Guido van Rossum d9b5208e90 In raw_input(prompt), make sure that str(prompt) really a string
object before using it.
1998-06-26 18:25:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9396673a58 Remove a few unused locals (I love VC++ for this!). 1998-05-29 02:59:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 09df08a105 A bunch of functions are now properly implemented in abstract.c, and
the code here becomes much simpler.  In particular: abs(), divmod(),
pow(), int(), long(), float(), len(), tuple(), list().

Also make sure that no use of a function pointer gotten from a
tp_as_sequence or tp_as_mapping structure is made without checking it
for NULL first.

A few other cosmetic things, such as properly reindenting slice().
1998-05-22 00:51:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1e162d3753 Implement round() slightly different, so that for negative ndigits no
additional errors happen in the last step.  The trick is to avoid
division by 0.1**n -- multiply by 10.0**n instead.
1998-05-09 14:42:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a937d14898 Fred's right -- we need PyList_SET_ITEM(). 1998-04-24 18:22:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 507338e5ca In-line the code in range() to set the list items; there's really no
need to call PyList_SetItem(v,i,w) when PyList_GET_ITEM(v,i)=w {sic}
will do.

Guido van Rossum 8f74571596 Use a faster way to check for null bytes in the string argument for
int(), long(), float().
1998-03-13 21:30:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d6af46d4ae Need a cast when comparing type object in isinstance() 1997-12-10 05:51:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f5dd914196 Support type objects in isinstance().
E.g. isinstance('',types.StringType) will return true now instead of
raising a TypeError exception.  This is for JPython compatibility.

Guido van Rossum ee81af8977 Release interpreter lock around readline call in [raw_]input(). 1997-09-26 21:47:43 +00:00
Barry Warsaw b01a7fa5f8 initerrors(): Eliminate circular reference which was causing a small
but annoying memory leak.  This was introduced when PyExc_Exception
was added; the loop above populating the PyExc_StandardError exception
tuple started at index 1 in bltin_exc, but PyExc_Exception was added
at index 0, so PyExc_StandardError was getting inserted in itself!
How else can a tuple include itself?!

Change the loop to start at index 2.

This was a *fun* one! :-)

Barry Warsaw 412cdc2284 [Py_Exc]NumberError => [Py_Exc]ArithmeticError 1997-09-16 21:51:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0474832d9c Introduce PyExc_Exception as the conceptual root class for all exceptions. 1997-09-16 18:43:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aee0bad0a5 First part of package support.
This doesn't yet support "import a.b.c" or "from a.b.c import x", but
it does recognize directories.  When importing a directory, it
initializes __path__ to a list containing the directory name, and
loads the __init__ module if found.

The (internal) find_module() and load_module() functions are
restructured so that they both also handle built-in and frozen modules
and Mac resources (and directories of course).  The imp module's
find_module() and (new) load_module() also have this functionality.
Moreover, imp unconditionally defines constants for all module types,
and has two more new functions: find_module_in_package() and
find_module_in_directory().

There's also a new API function, PyImport_ImportModuleEx(), which
takes all four __import__ arguments (name, globals, locals, fromlist).
The last three may be NULL.  This is currently the same as
PyImport_ImportModule() but in the future it will be able to do
relative dotted-path imports.

Other changes:

- bltinmodule.c: in __import__, call PyImport_ImportModuleEx().

- ceval.c: always pass the fromlist to __import__, even if it is a C
function, so PyImport_ImportModuleEx() is useful.

- getmtime.c: the function has a second argument, the FILE*, on which
it applies fstat().  According to Sjoerd this is much faster.  The
first (pathname) argument is ignored, but remains for backward
compatibility (so the Mac version still works without changes).

By cleverly combining the new imp functionality, the full support for
dotted names in Python (mini.py, not checked in) is now about 7K,
lavishly commented (vs. 14K for ni plus 11K for ihooks, also lavishly
commented).

Good night!

Barry Warsaw 757af0e7bb Removed obsolete exception PyExc_AccessError.
Added PyErr_MemoryErrorInst to hold the pre-instantiated instance when
using class based exceptions.

Simplified the creation of all built-in exceptions, both class based
and string based.  Actually, for class based exceptions, the string
ones are still created just in case there's a problem creating the
class based ones (so you still get *some* exception handling!).  Now
the init and fini functions run through a list of structure elements,
creating the strings (and optionally classes) for every entry.

initerrors(): the new base class exceptions StandardError,
LookupError, and NumberError are initialized when using string
exceptions, to tuples containing the list of derived string
exceptions.  This GvR trick enables forward compatibility!  One bit of
nastiness is that the C code has to know the inheritance tree embodied
in exceptions.py.

Added the two phase init and fini functions.
1997-08-29 22:13:51 +00:00
Barry Warsaw cde8b1ba0c Two new built-in functions: issubclass() and isinstance(). Both take
classes as their second arguments.  The former takes a class as the
first argument and returns true iff first is second, or is a subclass
of second.

The latter takes any object as the first argument and returns true iff
first is an instance of the second, or any subclass of second.

Also, change all occurances of pointer compares against
PyExc_IndexError with PyErr_ExceptionMatches() calls.

Guido van Rossum 25ce566661 The last of the mass checkins for separate (sub)interpreters.
Everything should now work again.

See the comments for the .h files mass checkin (e.g. pystate.h) for
more detail.

Guido van Rossum b05a5c7698 Instead of importing graminit.h whenever one of the three grammar 'root'
symbols is needed, define these in Python.h with a Py_ prefix.
1997-05-07 17:46:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 666b17a280 New dir() function --
