objects for the attribute name. Unicode objects are converted to
a string using the default encoding before trying the lookup.
Note that previously it was allowed to pass arbitrary objects as
attribute name in case the tp_getattro/setattro slots were defined.
This patch fixes this by applying an explicit string check first:
all uses of these slots expect string objects and do not check
for the type resulting in a core dump. The tp_getattro/setattro
are still useful as optimization for lookups using interned
string objects though.
This patch fixes bug #113829.
the MD5 methods into the SHA docs (substituting "sha" for "md5", of course,
and changing the stuff that depended on digest size accordingly).
Fred, don't trust me!
default encoding ("ascii") is changed. This safes quite a few cycles
during startup since the first call to .setdefaultencoding() will
initialize the codec registry and the encodings package.
See python-dev for a discussion (Subject: "[Python-Dev] [comp.lang.python] sys.setdefaultencoding (2.0b1)").
Add contains() as alias for __contains__().
Make PyArg_ParseTuple() formats include the function name.
Based on patch by Denis S. Otkidach <ods@users.sourceforge.net>,
this closes SourceForge patch #101390.
that Py_INCREF boosts global _Py_RefTotal when Py_REF_DEBUG is defined
but Py_TRACE_REFS isn't.
There are, IMO, way too many preprocessor gimmicks in use for refcount
debugging (at least 3 distinct true/false symbols, but not all 8 combos
are supported by the code, etc etc), and no coherent documentation of
this stuff -- 'twas too painful to track this one down.
in a string (gives you something to do with the dictionary returned
by 'parse_makefile()').
Pulled the regexes in 'parse_makefile()' out -- they're now globals,
as 'expand_makefile_vars()' needs (two of) them.
Cosmetic tweaks to 'parse_makefile()'.
easier for people porting Makefile.pre.in-based extensions to Distutils.
Also loosened argument-checking in Extension constructor to make life
easier for 'read_setup_file()'.
reverse() didn't work at all due to bad arg check.
Fixed that.
Added Brad Chapman to ACKS file, as the proud new owner of two
implicitly copyrighted lines of Python source code <wink>.
Repaired buffer_info's total lack of arg-checking.
Replaced memmove by memcpy in reverse() guts, as memmove is
often slower and the memory areas are guaranteed disjoint.
Replaced poke-and-hope unchecked decl of tmp buffer size by
assert-checked larger tmp buffer.
Got rid of inconsistent spaces before open paren in docstrings.
Added reverse() sanity tests to test_array.py.
are completely skipped, rather than being treated as blank lines
(and then subject to the 'skip_blanks' flag). This allows us
to process old-style Setup files, which rely on
hello \\
# boo!
there
coming out as "hello there".
Dropped the 'collapse_ws' option and replaced it with 'collapse_join' --
it's *much* faster (no 're.sub()') and this is the reason I really added
'collapse_ws', ie. to remove leading whitespace from a line being joined
to the previous line.
This fixes the first half of bug #110611: the immediate exit when ^C
is hit when readline and threads are configured.
Also added a new module variable, readline.library_version.
PyOS_setsig(), instead of directly calling signal() or sigaction().
This fixes the second half of bug #110611: the mysterious ignoring of
the first ^C when readline isn't used.
(eg. "bdist_dumb", to generate both ZIP and tar archives in the same
run), tell all but the last run to keep temp files -- this just gets
rid of the need to pseudo-install the same files multiple times.
the command's sub-commands as well (off by default). This is essential if
we want to be be able to run (eg.) "install" twice in one run, as happens
when generating multiple built distributions in one run.
families" -- eg. install and its brood, build and its brood, and so forth.
Specifically: added the 'sub_commands' class attribute (empty list, sub-
classes must override it) and a comment describing it, and the
'get_sub_commands()' method.
