__dict__ attribute. Deleting it, or setting it to a non-dictionary
result in a TypeError. Note that getting it the first time magically
initializes it to an empty dict so that func.__dict__ will always
appear to be a dictionary (never None).
Closes SF bug #446645.
LettError, Erik van Blokland, http://www.letterror.com/
the Python Windows installer finally has an attractive Pythonic bitmap
to delight the senses and dampen the fears of the millions and millions of
eager new Windows users anticipating their first Python programming joy.
Always knew Mac users secretly wanted to switch to Windows <wink>.
list.
Present the URLs at the bottom in a consistent manner, conforming to the
style guide.
Remove the lone use of "e.g.", which the style guide does not allow.
(Tim & I should agree on where to add new additions: I add them at the
top, Tim adds them at the bottom. I like the top better because folks
who occasionally check out the NEWS file will see the latest news
first.)
additional offset is only applied to continuation lines for block
opening statements.
(py-compute-indentation): Only add py-continuation-offset if
py-statement-opens-block-p is true.
This completes the q/Q project.
longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray: The original code had a gross bug:
the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT
significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign
bit it has else spurious overflow errors result.
test_struct.py: This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both
sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative.
NEWS: Added brief dict news while I was at it.
native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG. Standard mode
will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that
likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while
sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely
on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own;
I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long
to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP
conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8).
test_struct.py: In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests,
got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about
native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes).
libstruct.tex: In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed
later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior.
Armin Rigo pointed out that the way the line-# table got built didn't work
for lines generating more than 255 bytes of bytecode. Fixed as he
suggested, plus corresponding changes to pyassem.py, plus added some
long overdue docs about this subtle table to compile.c.
Bugfix candidate (line numbers may be off in tracebacks under -O).
code, less memory. Tests have uncovered no drawbacks. Christian and
Vladimir are the other two people who have burned many brain cells on the
dict code in recent years, and they like the approach too, so I'm checking
it in without further ado.
