- 'delete' is a C++ keyword; use 'del_table' instead
- apply Py_CHARMASK() to del_table[i] before using it as an index
*** this fixes a bug that was just reported on the list ***
- if the translation didn't make any changes, INCREF and return
the original string
- when del_table is empty or omitted, don't copy the translation
table to a table of ints (should be a bit faster)
Rewrote maketrans() to avoid copying the table (2-3% faster).
performance hit. Urg. Reverted.
strop_joinfields(): re-instate optimizations for lists and tuples, but
support arbitrary other kinds of sequences as well.
- split_whitespace(): slightly better memory ref handling when errors
occur.
- strop_joinfields(): First argument can now be any sequence-protocol
conformant object.
- strop_find(), strop_rfind(): Use PyArg_ParseTuple for optional
arguments
- strop_lower(), strop_upper(): Factor logic into a common function
do_casechange().
- strop_atoi(), strop_atol(): Use PyArg_ParseTuple.
- strop_maketrans(): arguments used to be optional, although the
documentation doesn't reflect this. Make the source conform to the
docs. Arguments are required, but two empty strings will return the
identity translation table.
- General pass fixing up formatting, and checking for return values.
Extended split() (and hence splitfields(), which is the same function)
to support an optional third parameter giving the maximum number of
delimiters to parse.
shorter names (dropped the "module" from the name): sunaudiodev,
imgformat, audioop, imageop, imgfile
* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): make rindex('abc', '') do
the right thing (i.e. return 3 instead of 0)
* Modules/socketmodule.c: disabled allowbroadcast() socket method
* timemodule.c: change #ifdef TURBO_C into #ifdef MSDOS
* posixmodule.c: MSDOS changes by Marcel van der Peijl (Digicash)
* stropmodule.c: use C isspace(c) to test for whitespace; add
whitespace, lowercase and uppercase variables to the module.
* Stubs for faster implementation of local variables (not yet finished)
* Added function name to code object. Print it for code and function
objects. THIS MAKES THE .PYC FILE FORMAT INCOMPATIBLE (the version
number has changed accordingly)
* Print address of self for built-in methods
* New internal functions getattro and setattro (getattr/setattr with
string object arg)
* Replaced "dictobject" with more powerful "mappingobject"
* New per-type functio tp_hash to implement arbitrary object hashing,
and hashobject() to interface to it
* Added built-in functions hash(v) and hasattr(v, 'name')
* classobject: made some functions static that accidentally weren't;
added __hash__ special instance method to implement hash()
* Added proper comparison for built-in methods and functions
