SF patch #872326 : Generator expression implementation
...
(Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.)
The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be
checked-in soon. Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's
rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in
in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev).
The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is
meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch. Further additions are
welcome from everyone. Please stress test this new feature as much as
possible before the alpha release.

Implementation of patch 869468
...
Allow the user to create Tkinter.Tcl objects which are
just like Tkinter.Tk objects except that they do not
initialize Tk. This is useful in circumstances where the
script is being run on machines that do not have an X
server running -- in those cases, Tk initialization fails,
even if no window is ever created.
Includes documentation change and tests.
Tested on Linux, Solaris and Windows.

Fine tune the speed/space trade-off for overallocating small lists.
...
The Py2.3 approach overallocated small lists by up to 8 elements.
The last checkin would limited this to one but slowed down (by 20 to 30%)
the creation of small lists between 3 to 8 elements.
This tune-up balances the two, limiting overallocation to 3 elements
(significantly reducing space consumption from Py2.3) and running faster
than the previous checkin.
The first part of the growth pattern (0, 4, 8, 16) neatly meshes with
allocators that trigger data movement only when crossing a power of two
boundary. Also, then even numbers mesh well with common data alignments.

The format of the string data used in the imageop module is described
...
as "This is the same format as used by gl.lrectwrite() and the imgfile
module." This implies a certain byte order in multi-byte pixel
formats. However, the code was originally written on an SGI
(big-endian) and *uses* the fact that bytes are stored in a particular
order in ints. This means that the code uses and produces different
byte order on little-endian systems.
This fix adds a module-level flag "backward_compatible" (default not
set, and if not set, behaves as if set to 1--i.e. backward compatible)
that can be used on a little-endian system to use the same byte order
as the SGI. Using this flag it is then possible to prepare
SGI-compatible images on a little-endian system.
This patch is the result of a (small) discussion on python-dev and was
submitted to SourceForge as patch #874358 .

At 2.2, the Py<type>_Check() family of API functions (macros) changed
...
semantics to include subtypes. Most concrete object APIs then had
a Py<type>_CheckExact() macro added to test for an object's type
not including subtypes.
The PyDict_CheckExact() macro wasn't created at that time, so I've added
it for API completeness/symmetry - even though nobody has complained
about its absence in the time since 2.2 was released.
Not a backport candidate.

SF patch 852995: add processors feature to urllib2
...
John J. Lee writes: "the patch makes it possible to implement
functionality like HTTP cookie handling, Refresh handling,
etc. etc. using handler objects. At the moment urllib2's handler
objects aren't quite up to the job, which results in a lot of
cut-n-paste and subclassing. I believe the changes are
backwards-compatible, with the exception of people who've
reimplemented build_opener()'s functionality -- those people would
need to call opener.add_handler(HTTPErrorProcessor).
The main change is allowing handlers to implement
methods like:
http_request(request)
http_response(request, response)
In addition to the usual
http_open(request)
http_error{_*}(...)
"
Note that the change isn't well documented at least in part because
handlers aren't well documented at all. Need to fix this.
Add a bunch of new tests. It appears that none of these tests
actually use the network, so they don't need to be guarded by a
resource flag.

The example code did not work and could not easily be made to work.
Since the docs were already complex and the feature was not used
(it took two years for the errors to surface), we decided to dedocument
it entirely, leaving unittest cleaner than before.

- Removed FutureWarnings related to hex/oct literals and conversions

This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by
PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing
'L'. The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that
changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not
implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to
hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.

Improve the implementation of itertools.tee().

Formerly, underlying queue was implemented in terms of two lists. The

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.

* Added C coded getrandbits(k) method that runs in linear time.
* Call the new method from randrange() for ranges >= 2**53.

have a call to randrange() with too large of a population.

Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnames
...
is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames. In the common case,
this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time.
The first row of the file will be used. In the uncommon case, this means
the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time
and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can
contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.

Fix the most recent change to the invocation of the mkhowto script so

that it works for all targets.
The issue here is that there are two different levels in the directory
tree at which we execute mkhowto, so we can't define it just once
using a relative path (at least not with the current implementation
and Makefile structure). We use the GNUish $(shell) function here to
work around that restriction by identifying mkhowto using an absolute
path.

Improvements to set.py:
...
* Relaxed the argument restrictions for non-operator methods. They now
allow any iterable instead of requiring a set. This makes the module
a little easier to use and paves the way for an efficient C
implementation which can take better advantage of iterable arguments
while screening out immutables.
* Deprecated Set.update() because it now duplicates Set.union_update()
* Adapted the tests and docs to include the above changes.
* Added more test coverage including testing identities and checking
to make sure non-restartable generators work as arguments.
Will backport to Py2.3.1 so that the interface remains consistent
across versions. The deprecation of update() will be changed to
a FutureWarning.

* Positive wording for the description of why < and > and = can all
be False.
* Move to a three column table format that puts long method names
side-by-side with their operator equivalents
* Mention that KeyError can be raised by Set.pop() and Set.remove().
* Minor tweaks to the examples.
Will backport as soon as Fred rebuilds the docs so I can confirm
the tables formatted properly

init_myformat(): None of the "mark" values can be empty strings, or

LaTeX2HTML feels free to remove a surrounding element that
contains no other content. Since such an element is typically a
named anchor used for hyperlinking, they should not be removed.
Unfortunatley, making sure these marks are non-empty is the most
direct way of avoiding this behavior.
Thanks to Dave Kuhlman for tracking this down; this was some excellent
detective work!

the info conversion the \comment LaTeX macro mapped to a Texinfo @ignore

links to the @ignore'd section, which causes makeinfo to croak.
Exposing this text is probably not the most correct thing to do, as this
documentation really belongs in the C API manual. This does get the info
files generated, however, which is a more practical goal considering the
impending release of 2.3rc1.

Doctest now examines all docstrings by default. Previously, it would
...
skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore
naming convention). The old default created too much of a risk that
user tests were being skipped inadvertently. Note, this change could
break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put
failing tests in the docstrings of private functions. The breakage
is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod()
or Tester(). The more likely case is that the silent failure was
unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be
fixed.

A hack to ease compatibility with pre-2.3 Pythons: by default, doctest
...
now accepts "True" when a test expects "1", and similarly for "False"
versus "0". This is un-doctest-like, but on balance makes it much
more pleasant to write doctests that pass under 2.2 and 2.3. I expect
it to go away again, when 2.2 is forgotten. In the meantime, there's
a new doctest module constant that can be passed to a new optional
argument, if you want to turn this behavior off.
Note that this substitution is very simple-minded: the expected and
actual outputs have to consist of single tokens. No attempt is made,
e.g., to accept [True, False] when a test expects [1, 0]. This is a
simple hack for simple tests, and I intend to keep it that way.

that won't be right when mkhowto is called with --numeric (as it is

Rewrote the basic section of the chapter on defining new types.
...
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way:
- Use a class new method rather than a new function.
- Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators
- Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods.
- Make the type usable as a base type.
I split the example into 3 parts:
1. The minimal new type
2. Adding attributes and methods.
3. Finer control over attributes.
It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully
show this.
I also made minor wording changes in two other places.
I still need to update xxobject.c
