Tim Peters 599db7de63 The list.sort() docs require a function that returns -1, 0 or +1. That's
never been true, and in particular implies cmp() can't be used(!).  Get
closer to the truth.

Guido van Rossum 84675acb49 The changes to ternary_op could cause a core dump. Fix this, and
rewrite the code a bit to avoid calling the same slot more than once.

Guido van Rossum bb29b9c952 Clarify the warning about the relative dates of Setup.dist and Setup;
Jeremy had seen the warning but not realized what he should do about
it.  Add the hint "Usually, copying Setup.dist to Setup will work."

Guido van Rossum 751c4c864c Add a few ``__dynamic__ = 0'' lines in classes that need to preserve
staticness when __dynamic__ = 1 becomes the default:

- Some classes which are used to test the difference between static
  and dynamic.

- Subclasses of complex: complex uses old-style numbers and the slot
  wrappers used by dynamic classes only support new-style numbers.
  (Ideally, the complex type should be fixed, but that looks like a
  labor-intensive job.)

Guido van Rossum 4bb1e36eec It's a fact: for binary operators, *under certain circumstances*,
__rop__ now takes precendence over __op__.  Those circumstances are:

  - Both arguments are new-style classes
  - Both arguments are new-style numbers
  - Their implementation slots for tp_op differ
  - Their types differ
  - The right argument's type is a subtype of the left argument's type

Also did this for the ternary operator (pow) -- only the binary case
is dealt with properly though, since __rpow__ is not supported anyway.
2001-09-28 23:49:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9bea3abf0d Ouch. The wrapper for __rpow__ was the same as for __pow__, resulting
in bizarre outcomes.  Test forthcoming.

Fred Drake 575712eaca Tighten up the new NodeList implementation.
Clean up a little; do not create an alias that is only used once, or store
attributes with constant values in an instance.

Fred Drake 88a56857f6 Remove an infelicitous space. 2001-09-28 20:16:30 +00:00
Tim Peters 9390cc15da regrtest's -g option stopped working, during the changes to improve
error-reporting for the classic compare-expected-output tests.
Curiously, the bug consisted of not simplifying the logic enough!
2001-09-28 20:14:46 +00:00
Fred Drake b2ad1c8b4d Reflect recent refinements of the regression testing framework. 2001-09-28 20:05:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e296cedef9 Be more rigorous about making pathnames absolute, to address SF bug
#424002.

Refactor init_path_from_argv0() and rename to copy_absolute(); add
absolutize() which does the same in-place.

Clean up whitespace (leading tabs -> spaces, delete trailing
spaces/tabs).
2001-09-28 20:00:29 +00:00
Fred Drake 746fe0fae5 Clean up circular references in the Weak*Dictionary classes; this avoids
depending on the cycle detector code in the library implementation.
This is a *slightly* different patch than SF patch #417795, but takes
the same approach.  (This version avoids calling the __len__() method of
the dict in the remove() functions.)
This closes SF patch #417795.

Guido van Rossum 43b9a086bf Reorder Still To Do items (highest priority on top), add one. 2001-09-28 18:19:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8b9def3aac Add complex to the dispatch tables, to avoid going through the whole
rigmarole of __reduce__.
2001-09-28 18:16:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6cef6d5d62 Changes to copy() and deepcopy() in copy.py to support __reduce__ as a
fallback for objects that are neither supported by our dispatch table
nor have a __copy__ or __deepcopy__ method.

Changes to _reduce() in copy_reg.py to support reducing objects that
don't have a __dict__ -- copy.copy(complex()) now invokes _reduce().

Add tests for copy.copy() and copy.deepcopy() to test_regrtest.py.

Fred Drake 3c171d1b9f Convert to string methods.
For the real document element, make sure the prolog is migrated into
the document element so it isn't left stranded.

Make fixup_trailing_whitespace() whitespace do what was really intended.

Add the *desc environments used in the C API manual to the list of
things that can exist at the paragraph level so they don't get wrapped
in <para>...</para>.

Fred Drake b387860c70 State that encode() and encodestring() append a newline to the input data

Fred Drake 876389e5d8 Do not distinguish \refmodule from \module in the generated output;
whether or not a link will be generated will depend on the link database.
Add a couple of explanatory comments for one of the stranger constructs
(giving input an empty name).
2001-09-27 17:01:59 +00:00

Fred Drake 5a28bfbbc7 Change the sense of a test in how the profiler interprets exception events.
This should fix a bug in how time is allocated during exception propogation
(esp. in the presence of finally clauses).

Fred Drake 3fc291a1d7 Fix some markup errors. 2001-09-27 04:17:20 +00:00
Fred Drake b802a1e7fa Markup adjustment: \[...\] is math markup and does not translate well when
used with text as was done here.  Fixed so that the typeset version wraps
the warning text and the HTML version does not create images of the warning
text.

Tim Peters 8ac8be5988 docroutine() (both instances): Docstrings for class methods weren't
getting displayed, due to a special case here whose purpose I didn't
understand.  So just disabled the doc suppression here.

Another special case here skips the docs when picking apart a method
and finding that the im_func is also in the class __dict__ under
the same name.  That one I understood.  It has a curious consequence,
though, wrt inherited properties:  a static class copies inherited stuff
into the inheriting class's dict, and that affects whether or not this
special case triggers.  The upshoot is that pydoc doesn't show the
function docstrings of getter/setter/deleter functions of inherited
properties in the property section when the class is static, but does
when the class is dynamic (bring up Lib/test/pydocfodder.py under
GUI pydoc to see this).
