* Restore dicts' tp_compare slot, and change dict_richcompare to say itTim Peters2001-05-101-15/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | doesn't know how to do LE, LT, GE, GT. dict_richcompare can't do the latter any faster than dict_compare can. More importantly, for cmp(dict1, dict2), Python *first* tries rich compares with EQ, LT, and GT one at a time, even if the tp_compare slot is defined, and dict_richcompare called dict_compare for the latter two because it couldn't do them itself. The result was a lot of wasted calls to dict_compare. Now dict_richcompare gives up at once the times Python calls it with LT and GT from try_rich_to_3way_compare(), and dict_compare is called only once (when Python gets around to trying the tp_compare slot). Continued mystery: despite that this cut the number of calls to dict_compare approximately in half in test_mutants.py, the latter still runs amazingly slowly. Running under the debugger doesn't show excessive activity in the dict comparison code anymore, so I'm guessing the culprit is somewhere else -- but where? Perhaps in the element (key/value) comparison code? We clearly spend a lot of time figuring out how to compare things.
* Make test_mutants stronger by also adding random keys during comparisons.Tim Peters2001-05-101-2/+17
| | | | | | | | A Mystery: test_mutants ran amazingly slowly even before dictobject.c "got fixed". I don't have a clue as to why. dict comparison was and remains linear-time in the size of the dicts, and test_mutants only tries 100 dict pairs, of size averaging just 50. So "it should" run in less than an eyeblink; but it takes at least a second on this 800MHz box.
* Change test_mmap.py to use test_support.TESTFN instead of hardcoded "foo",Tim Peters2001-05-101-108/+119

| | | | | | | Fixed a half dozen ways in which general dict comparison could crash Python (even cause Win98SE to reboot) in the presence of kay and/or value comparison routines that mutate the dict during dict comparison. Bugfix candidate.

* The strop module and test_strop.py believe replace() with a 0 countTim Peters2001-05-102-2/+2
| | | | | | | means "replace everything". But the string module, string.replace() amd test_string.py believe a 0 count means "replace nothing". "Nothing" wins, strop loses. Bugfix candidate.
