This will make it incompatible with the version found in Python 2.0.
Does this need to be done to PyXML too?
Changes that might break existing code are marked with (!) below.
- Formatting nit: no spaces inside parentheses: foo( a ) -> foo(a).
- Break long lines.
- (!) Fix getAttribute() and getAttributeNS() to return "" instead of
raising KeyError when the attribute is not found.
- (!) Fix getAttributeNodeNS() to return None instead of raising
KeyError. (Curiously, getAttributeNode() already did this.)
- Added hasAttributes(), which returns true iff the node has any
attributes. )This is DOM level 3.)
- (!) In createDocument(), if the qualified name is not empty,
actually create and insert the first element with that name (this
will become doc.documentElement). MvL believes that it should be an
error to specify an empty qualified name; I'm not going there today,
since it would require making a matching change to pulldom. Maybe
MvL will do this.
- In Document.writexml(), insert an xml declaration at the top. (This
doesn't include the encoding since there's no way to specify the
encoding. If that's preferred, all writexml() methods should be
fixed to support an optional encoding argument that they pass to
each other -- and they should use it to encode all text they write,
too. Later.)
Began a section on weak references
Various rewrites and paragraph refills
Added: non-recursive makefiles, repr() of strings now uses \n, raw socket I/O
Bumped version number
Add note about _symtable.
Add note that 'from ... import *' restriction may go away -- and move
the whole entry closer to the top, because it might bite people.
symtable.h, so that they can be used by external module.
Improve error handling in symtable_enter_scope(), which return an
error code that went unchecked by most callers. XXX The error handling
in symtable code is sloppy in general.
Modify symtable to record the line number that begins each scope.
This can help to identify which code block is being referred to when
multiple blocks are bound to the same name.
Add st_scopes dict that is used to preserve scope info when
PyNode_CompileSymtable() is called. Otherwise, this information is
tossed as soon as it is no longer needed.
Add Py_SymtableString() to pythonrun; analogous to Py_CompileString().
trigger my arbitrary exlusion rule, which is: takes more than 10
seconds of wall clock time on my machine. If these tests are going to
be skipped, then a boatload of slower tests should be skipped, too.
