Type/class unification and new-style classes -------------------------------------------- +- dict() now accepts keyword arguments so that dict(one=1,two=2) + is the equivalent of dict([('one',1),('two',2)]). Accordingly, + the existing (but undocumented) 'items' keyword argument has + been eliminated. This means that dict(items=someMapping) now has + a different meaning than before. + - int() now returns a long object if the argument is outside the integer range, so int("4"*1000), int(1e200) and int(1L<<1000) will all return long objects instead of raising an OverflowError. |
