sys.getwindowsversion() on Windows (new enahanced Tim-proof <wink>
version), and fix test_pep277.py in a few minor ways.
Including doc and NEWS entries.
fairly large, most are caused by reformatting section and subsection
headings. The changes fall into the following categories:
* reformatted section and subsection headers.
* escaped isolated asterisks which would be interpreted as starting bold
or italic text (e.g. "void (*)(PyObject \*)").
* quoted stuff that looks like internal references but isn't
(e.g. ``PyCmp_``).
* changed visually balanced quotes to just use apostrophes
(e.g. "'string'" instead of "`string'").
* introduced and indenting multiline chunks of code.
* created one table (search for "New codecs").
from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/554192
This adds two new functions to mimetypes:
guess_all_extensions() which returns a list of all known
extensions for a mime type, and add_type() which adds one
mapping between a mime type and an extension.
HTML tarball and use it to create a documentation tree readable and
searchable with Apple Help Viewer. The documentation also shows up in
Project Builder (if you add Python.framework to your project).
interning. I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged. Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.
[ 587993 ] SET_LINENO killer
Remove SET_LINENO. Tracing is now supported by inspecting co_lnotab.
Many sundry changes to document and adapt to this change.
k_mul() when inputs have vastly different sizes, and a little more
efficient when they're close to a factor of 2 out of whack.
I consider this done now, although I'll set up some more correctness
tests to run overnight.
correct now, so added some final comments, did some cleanup, and enabled
it for all long-int multiplies. The KARAT envar no longer matters,
although I left some #if 0'ed code in there for my own use (temporary).
k_mul() is still much slower than x_mul() if the inputs have very
differenent sizes, and that still needs to be addressed.
