  So long xrange.  range() now supports values that are outside
  -sys.maxint to sys.maxint.  floats raise a TypeError.

  This has been sitting for a long time.  It probably has some problems and
  needs cleanup.  Objects/rangeobject.c now uses 4-space indents since
  it is almost completely new.

Guido van Rossum be19ed77dd Fix most trivially-findable print statements.
There's one major and one minor category still unfixed:
doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the
refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon);
other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category.

(Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)

Guido van Rossum 47b9ff6ba1 Restructure comparison dramatically. There is no longer a default
*ordering* between objects; there is only a default equality test
(defined by an object being equal to itself only).  Read the comment
in object.c.  The current implementation never uses a three-way
comparison to compute a rich comparison, but it does use a rich
comparison to compute a three-way comparison.  I'm not quite done
ripping out all the calls to PyObject_Compare/Cmp, or replacing
tp_compare implementations with tp_richcompare implementations;
but much of that has happened (to make most unit tests pass).

The following tests still fail, because I need help deciding
or understanding:

test_codeop -- depends on comparing code objects
test_datetime -- need Tim Peters' opinion
test_marshal -- depends on comparing code objects
test_mutants -- need help understanding it

The problem with test_codeop and test_marshal is this: these tests
compare two different code objects and expect them to be equal.
Is that still a feature we'd like to support?  I've temporarily
removed the comparison and hash code from code objects, so they
use the default (equality by pointer only) comparison.

For the other two tests, run them to see for yourself.
(There may be more failing test with "-u all".)

A general problem with getting lots of these tests to pass is
the reality that for object types that have a natural total ordering,
implementing __cmp__ is much more convenient than implementing
__eq__, __ne__, __lt__, and so on.  Should we go back to allowing
__cmp__ to provide a total ordering?  Should we provide some other
way to implement rich comparison with a single method override?
Alex proposed a __key__() method; I've considered a __richcmp__()
method.  Or perhaps __cmp__() just shouldn't be killed off...

Neal Norwitz a98e7694ee move test into a unittest.TestCase, no functional changes 2005-11-24 21:58:51 +00:00
Armin Rigo 93677f075d * drop the unreasonable list invariant that ob_item should never come back
to NULL during the lifetime of the object.

* listobject.c nevertheless did not conform to the other invariants,
  either; fixed.

* listobject.c now uses list_clear() as the obvious internal way to clear
  a list, instead of abusing list_ass_slice() for that.  It makes it easier
  to enforce the invariant about ob_item == NULL.

* listsort() sets allocated to -1 during sort; any mutation will set it
  to a value >= 0, so it is a safe way to detect mutation.  A negative
  value for allocated does not cause a problem elsewhere currently.
  test_sort.py has a new test for this fix.

* listsort() leak: if items were added to the list during the sort, AND if
  these items had a __del__ that puts still more stuff into the list,
  then this more stuff (and the PyObject** array to hold them) were
  overridden at the end of listsort() and never released.

Includes the docs for libfuncs.tex.  Separate docs for the types are
forthcoming.

Raymond Hettinger 42b1ba31af * list.sort() now supports three keyword arguments: cmp, key, and reverse.
key provides C support for the decorate-sort-undecorate pattern.
  reverse provide a stable sort of the list with the comparisions reversed.

* Amended the docs to guarantee sort stability.

Tim Peters b9099c3df4 SF patch 637176: list.sort crasher
Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for

SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation.  The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone!  OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty.  Better
than a core dump.

Tim Peters 30e0beab6d Remove cut 'n paste silliness. 2002-08-03 02:17:41 +00:00
Tim Peters 2d8b765cc9 New test for sorting sanity. Note that this will fail in earlier Pythons,
in the stability tests.

Bizarre:  this takes 11x longer to run if and only if test_longexp is
run before it, on my box.  The bigger REPS is in test_longexp, the
slower this gets.  What happens on your box?  It's not gc on my box
(which is good, because gc isn't a plausible candidate here).

The slowdown is massive in the parts of test_sort that implicitly
invoke a new-style class's __lt__ or __cmp__ methods.  If I boost
REPS large enough in test_longexp, even the test_sort tests on an array
of size 64 visibly c-r-a-w-l.  The relative slowdown is even worse in
a debug build.  And if I reduce REPS in test_longexp, the slowdown in
test_sort goes away.

test_longexp does do horrid things to Win98's management of user
address space, but I thought I had made that a whole lot better a month
or so ago (by overallocating aggressively in the parser).
