Thomas Wouters fe385251f4 Make the 'time' argument to the timemodule functions strftime, asctime,
ctime, gmtime and localtime optional, defaulting to 'the current time' in
all cases. Adjust docs, add news item. Also convert all argument-handling to
METH_VARARGS. Closes SF patch #103265.

Guido van Rossum a88479f0e3 - Add note about complex numbers.
- Changed description of rich comparisons to emphasize that < and >
  (etc.) are each other's reflection.  Also use this word in the note
  about the demise of __rcmp__.

Tim Peters 691e0e95de Variant of SF patch 103252: Startup optimize: read *.pyc as string, not with getc(). 2001-01-18 04:39:16 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg ad7c98e264 This patch adds a new builtin unistr() which behaves like str()
except that it always returns Unicode objects.

A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.

This closes patch #101664.

Guido van Rossum f98eda01ab News item for rich comparisons.
(I'm going to check in some more uses of rich comparisons, but the
basic feature should be in place now.)

Guido van Rossum f61f166bca Added a whole slew of news items. Not striving for completeness --
I've skipped all bugfixes, Unicode, distutils changes.  But this
should be a start!

Guido van Rossum c4e1775081 Two new names. 2001-01-03 23:51:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 36cdad12dd Fred, THIS NEEDS DOCS! The function docstrings tell the tale.
Christmas present to myself:  the bisect module didn't define what
happened if the new element was already in the list.  It so happens
that it inserted the new element "to the right" of all equal elements.
Since it wasn't defined, among other bad implications it was a mystery
how to use bisect to determine whether an element was already in the
list (I've seen code that *assumed* "to the right" without justification).
Added new methods bisect_left and insort_left that insert "to the left"
instead; made the old names bisect and insort aliases for the new names
bisect_right and insort_right; beefed up docstrings to explain what
these actually do; and added a std test for the bisect module.

Barry Warsaw e0c182fb5f (python-font-lock-keywords): Add highlighting of `as' as a keyword,
but only in "import foo as bar" statements (including optional
preceding `from' clause).

Tim Peters 9940b800a4 Made the description of %[udxXo] formats of negative longs in 2.1 more accurate.
I suggested to Guido that %u be deprecated (it seems useless in Python to me).

Tim Peters a3a3a030af Fox for SF bug #123859: %[duxXo] long formats inconsistent. 2000-11-30 05:22:44 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3c34bb33ff (py-goto-beginning-of-tqs): When searching backwards for the matching
delimiter, watch out for backslash escaped delimiters.  Also use =
instead of eq for character comparison (because a character is = to
it's integer value, but not eq to it).
