[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers
with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.
Try to clear up confusion about the current globals being copied
into a globals dict passed to eval(). This wording (more or less)
was suggested in bug report. It should probably be made clearer.
Backport candidate.
Added doc for functions new to 2.2: classmethod property staticmethod super
Taken from docstrings. Could use review.
Hope there wasn't a reason why these shouldn't have been added.
Backport candidate.
[#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling
* Objects/fileobject.c
(file_read): Clear errors before leaving the loop in all situations,
and also check if some data was read before exiting the loop with an
EWOULDBLOCK exception.
* Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex
* Objects/fileobject.c
Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than
what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode.
* Misc/NEWS
Document the fix.
[#448679] Left to right
* Python/compile.c
(com_dictmaker): Reordered evaluation of dictionaries to follow strict
LTR evaluation.
* Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py
(CodeGenerator.visitDict): Reordered evaluation of dictionaries to
follow strict LTR evaluation.
* Doc/ref/ref5.tex
Documented the general LTR evaluation order idea.
* Misc/NEWS
Documented change in evaluation order of dictionaries.
People are already using it, so these docs are certainly better than
no docs at all. Markup is mostly missing and the layout is probably
ugly, but this can be fixed later.
Question: there are references to MS docs for the CSIDL_... constants
and the IShellLink interface. Are these pointers sufficient, or should
the MS docs reworded and repeated here?
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.
This closes SF patch #649608.
This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with
an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance:
z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w")
z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data)
z.close()
I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient
for simple (but common) things.
If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo
instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time,
which makes sense to me for anonymous data.
this can result in significantly smaller files. All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility. Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.
guarantee abs(x%y) < abs(y) in all cases when a float is involved.
math.fmod() should, though, so noted that too.
Bugfix candidate. Someone should check the LaTeX here first, though.
Replaced docstring with comments. Prevents subclass contamination.
Added the missing __cmp__() method and a test for __cmp__().
Used try/except style in preference to has_key() followed by a look-up.
Used iteritem() where possible to save creating a long key list and
to save redundant lookups.
Expanded .update() to look for the most helpful methods first and gradually
work down to a mininum expected interface.
Expanded documentation to be more clear on how to use the class.
avaliable in the Python 2.2 branch.
I've left out some flags which are more thought for debugging, if
someone needs them, he can always look at the output of --help.
I'm sure Fred will make some adjustments, so I'll only mark this as a
2.2 bugfix candidate.
There are more options available in the current CVS bdist_wininst,
I will document them after this is in.
warnings;" to this, and keep the "use" statement this time.
Fix an obscure bug that caused weird index entries to be generated in
a few cases, and a minor problem with horizontal alignmetn of the last
column of 5-column tables.
[I'd report a SF bug #, but I can't get to that right now.]
time in http://www.python.org/dev/doc/. There have been no bug
reports on these for a long time now.
- Remove local "use" statement that duplicates a top-level "use".
