A new hashlib module to replace the md5 and sha modules. It adds
support for additional secure hashes such as SHA-256 and SHA-512. The
hashlib module uses OpenSSL for fast platform optimized
implementations of algorithms when available. The old md5 and sha
modules still exist as wrappers around hashlib to preserve backwards
compatibility.

Patch #1051321 (fixes bugs 1010196, 1013525), by Mike Brown:
...
* Document hasFeature(), createDocument(), CreateDocumentType(),
hasAttribute(), hasAttributeNS().
* In the documentation for createDocument(), it is now stated that the Python
DOM API allows implementations to forego creation of the document element
child node, if no namespace and local name arguments are given. (This
possibility is left open and unaddressed in the W3C spec).
* Addition by me: use 'name' rather than 'attname', for consistency with the
DOM specification and the Python DOM API implementation.

2005-01-09 00:12:48 +00:00
836f5433f7
Patch #943206 :
...
`glob.glob()` currently calls itself recursively to build a list of matches of
the dirname part of the pattern and then filters by the basename part. This is
effectively BFS. ``glob.glob('*/*/*/*/*/foo')`` will build a huge list of all
directories 5 levels deep even if only a handful of them contain a ``foo``
entry. A generator-based recusion would never have to store these list at once
by implementing DFS. This patch converts the `glob` function to an `iglob`
recursive generator . `glob()` now just returns ``list(iglob(pattern))``.
I also cleaned up the code a bit (reduced duplicate `has_magic()` checks and
created a second `glob0` helper func so that the main loop need not be
duplicated).
Thanks to Cherniavsky Beni for the patch!
