| | | | | | | | PyObject_IsTrue() can have an error result. Also, added missing docs for PyObject_Not(). Will backport.

* Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple isWalter Dörwald2002-12-121-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(), this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e. any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a TypeError. This closes SF patch #649608.
* Document that the second argument to PyObject_IsInstanceWalter Dörwald2002-12-061-3/+7
| | | | | | | may be a tuple. This closes SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/649095 Backport to release22-maint will follow.
* Change int() so that passing a string, unicode, float or long argumentWalter Dörwald2002-11-191-2/+3
| | | | | | | that is outside the integer range no longer raises OverflowError, but returns a long object instead. This fixes SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/635115

* Clean up descriptions of PyObject_RichCompare() and PyObject_RichCompareBool()Fred Drake2002-06-141-8/+8
| | | | | based on comments from David Abrahams. Added refcount information for these functions.

* Patch #552433: Special-case tuples. Avoid sub-type checking for lists.Martin v. Löwis2002-05-081-0/+7
| | | | | Avoid checks for negative indices and duplicate checks for support of the sequence protocol.
* Clarify the return value of PyObject_IsInstance().Fred Drake2002-04-231-8/+9
|
* Add documentation for PyObject_Call().Fred Drake2002-04-151-0/+16
| | | | | Note that PyObject_Size() is a synonym for PyObject_Length(). This closes SF patch #544330 (contributed by Thomas Heller).
* Correct the descriptions of the PyObject_As*Buffer() return values.Fred Drake2002-04-041-6/+6
| | | | This closes SF bug #539081.
* Documentation for PyObject_GetIter(), contributed by Greg ChapmanFred Drake2002-03-111-3/+18
| | | | | (with only minor changes by Fred). This closes SF bug #498607.
* Close an improperly-closed verbatim environment.Fred Drake2001-12-261-3/+6
| | | | | | | | This closes SF patch #496215. Add a little more detail to the example that had not been closed. Bugfix: this should be made part of 2.2.1.
* Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take noFred Drake2001-11-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the last thing in the enclosing group. These cases were marked inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

* Added version annotations, remove hard tabs.Fred Drake2001-11-091-7/+11

* Add PyObject_CheckReadBuffer(), which returns true if its argumentJeremy Hylton2001-11-091-0/+39
| | | | | | supports the single-segment readable buffer interface. Add documentation for this and other PyObject_XXXBuffer() calls.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | outer level, the iterator protocol is used for memory-efficiency (the outer sequence may be very large if fully materialized); at the inner level, PySequence_Fast() is used for time-efficiency (these should always be sequences of length 2). dictobject.c, new functions PyDict_{Merge,Update}FromSeq2. These are wholly analogous to PyDict_{Merge,Update}, but process a sequence-of-2- sequences argument instead of a mapping object. For now, I left these functions file static, so no corresponding doc changes. It's tempting to change dict.update() to allow a sequence-of-2-seqs argument too. Also changed the name of dictionary's keyword argument from "mapping" to "x". Got a better name? "mapping_or_sequence_of_pairs" isn't attractive, although more so than "mosop" <wink>. abstract.h, abstract.tex: Added new PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE function, much faster than going thru the all-purpose PySequence_Size. libfuncs.tex: - Document dictionary(). - Fiddle tuple() and list() to admit that their argument is optional. - The long-winded repetitions of "a sequence, a container that supports iteration, or an iterator object" is getting to be a PITA. Many months ago I suggested factoring this out into "iterable object", where the definition of that could include being explicit about generators too (as is, I'm not sure a reader outside of PythonLabs could guess that "an iterator object" includes a generator call). - Please check my curly braces -- I'm going blind <0.9 wink>. abstract.c, PySequence_Tuple(): When PyObject_GetIter() fails, leave its error msg alone now (the msg it produces has improved since PySequence_Tuple was generalized to accept iterable objects, and PySequence_Tuple was also stomping on the msg in cases it shouldn't have even before PyObject_GetIter grew a better msg).
* Break the Python/C API manual into smaller files by chapter. This manualFred Drake2001-10-121-0/+842
has grown beyond what font-lock will work with using the default (X)Emacs settings. Indentation of the description has been made consistent, and a number of smaller markup adjustments have been made as well.
