Issue 643841: better documentation of the special method lookup process, especially for new-style classes. Also removes the warnings about not being authoritative for new-style classes - the language reference actually covers those fairly well now (albeit in a fashion that isn't always particularly easy to follow).

The right entry type to use isn't clear; operator seems wrong, because *,**,@
aren't being used in expressions here. I put them as 'statement'; 'syntax'
might be better.

Continue rolling back pep-3141 changes that changed behavior from 2.5. This
...
round included:
* Revert round to its 2.6 behavior (half away from 0).
* Because round, floor, and ceil always return float again, it's no
longer necessary to have them delegate to __xxx___, so I've ripped
that out of their implementations and the Real ABC. This also helps
in implementing types that work in both 2.6 and 3.0: you return int
from the __xxx__ methods, and let it get enabled by the version
upgrade.
* Make pow(-1, .5) raise a ValueError again.
2008-01-05 08:47:13 +00:00
2f3c16be73
Backport PEP 3141 from the py3k branch to the trunk. This includes r50877 (just
...
the complex_pow part), r56649, r56652, r56715, r57296, r57302, r57359, r57361,
r57372, r57738, r57739, r58017, r58039, r58040, and r59390, and new
documentation. The only significant difference is that round(x) returns a float
to preserve backward-compatibility. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1689 .
