Tim Peters 5a5b243043 More words: gave more motivation, and added cautions about the special
dangers of trying to iterate over weak dicts.

Barry Warsaw f8d3bcc77e Generator's constructor: The documentation was incorrect regarding how
header wrapping gets done when maxheaderlen <> 0.  The header really
gets wrapped via the email.Header.Header class, which has a more
sophisticated algorithm than just splitting on semi-colons.

Martin v. Löwis 8bafb2aaca Patch #843088: Fix typos. Backported to 2.3. 2003-11-18 19:48:57 +00:00

* Install the unittests, docs, newsitem, include file, and makefile update.
* Exercise the new functions whereever sets.py was being used.

Includes the docs for libfuncs.tex.  Separate docs for the types are
forthcoming.

Gregory P. Smith b845ef056a remove "support" for BerkeleyDB 3.1, it hasn't worked for a long time 2003-11-13 08:30:03 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger ad983e79d6 Improve the implementation of itertools.tee().
Formerly, underlying queue was implemented in terms of two lists.  The
new queue is a series of singly-linked fixed length lists.

The new implementation runs much faster, supports multi-way tees, and
allows tees of tees without additional memory costs.

The root ideas for this structure were contributed by Andrew Koenig
and Guido van Rossum.

Raymond Hettinger 6a5b027742 Added itertools.tee()
It works like the pure python verion except:

* the data queue is implemented with two stacks instead of one dictionary.

* Added C coded getrandbits(k) method that runs in linear time.

* Adds a warning for generators not defining getrandbits() whenever they
  have a call to randrange() with too large of a population.
