* Typo: "that" --> "than"Fred Drake2001-05-211-1/+1

* This patch changes the way the string .encode() method works slightlyMarc-André Lemburg2001-05-151-7/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and introduces a new method .decode(). The major change is that strg.encode() will no longer try to convert Unicode returns from the codec into a string, but instead pass along the Unicode object as-is. The same is now true for all other codec return types. The underlying C APIs were changed accordingly. Note that even though this does have the potential of breaking existing code, the chances are low since conversion from Unicode previously took place using the default encoding which is normally set to ASCII rendering this auto-conversion mechanism useless for most Unicode encodings. The good news is that you can now use .encode() and .decode() with much greater ease and that the door was opened for better accessibility of the builtin codecs. As demonstration of the new feature, the patch includes a few new codecs which allow string to string encoding and decoding (rot13, hex, zip, uu, base64). Written by Marc-Andre Lemburg.

* Added documentation for PyIter_Check() and PyIter_Next().Fred Drake2001-05-071-1/+39
| | | | Wrapped a long line.
* This patch originated from an idea by Martin v. Loewis who submitted aMarc-André Lemburg2001-04-231-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | patch for sharing single character Unicode objects. Martin's patch had to be reworked in a number of ways to take Unicode resizing into consideration as well. Here's what the updated patch implements: * Single character Unicode strings in the Latin-1 range are shared (not only ASCII chars as in Martin's original patch). * The ASCII and Latin-1 codecs make use of this optimization, providing a noticable speedup for single character strings. Most Unicode methods can use the optimization as well (by virtue of using PyUnicode_FromUnicode()). * Some code cleanup was done (replacing memcpy with Py_UNICODE_COPY) * The PyUnicode_Resize() can now also handle the case of resizing unicode_empty which previously resulted in an error. * Modified the internal API _PyUnicode_Resize() and the public PyUnicode_Resize() API to handle references to shared objects correctly. The _PyUnicode_Resize() signature changed due to this. * Callers of PyUnicode_FromUnicode() may now only modify the Unicode object contents of the returned object in case they called the API with NULL as content template. Note that even though this patch passes the regression tests, there may still be subtle bugs in the sharing code.

* Finally fill in the documentation for the PyDict_Next() function. It isFred Drake2001-03-161-2/+20

* This patch adds a new builtin unistr() which behaves like str()Marc-André Lemburg2001-01-171-6/+14
| | | | | | | | | | except that it always returns Unicode objects. A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided. This closes patch #101664. Written by Marc-Andre Lemburg. Copyright assigned to Guido van Rossum.

* In the first discussion showing how to handle exceptions from C, make theFred Drake2000-11-291-7/+11
| | | | | | | | Python equivalent actually equivalent to the C code. Also, in the C code, place the "goto" statements on a line by themselves for better visibility of statements that affect control flow. This closes bug #123398.
* Added documentation for the Py_InitModule*() family of functions.Fred Drake2000-11-281-1/+31

* Added exception to the rule that the buffer returned by PyString_AsString()Fred Drake2000-10-231-4/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | and PyString_AsStringAndSize() for strings that were just created using PyString_FromStringAndSize(NULL, n). This closes bug #117377. Added warning about passing NULL to the concrete object functions; many of them use the appropriate Py<Type>_Check() test, but do not check for NULL. "de-allocated" --> "deallocated"
* For PyErr_Format(), note that the exception parameter can be a string orFred Drake2000-10-141-2/+2

* Fix a couple of places where the descriptions of *_GET_SIZE() macros saidFred Drake2000-10-071-2/+2
| | | | | | they were similar to *_GetSize(); should be similar to *_Size(). Error noted by William Park <parkw@better.net>.

* Include the new text on reporting bugs in a few useful places.Fred Drake2000-09-211-0/+4
| | | | This closes SourceForge bug #114792.
* This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize()Marc-André Lemburg2000-09-191-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string object using the default encoding. The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924 and #113890. As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as parameters.
* Document new APIs PyOS_getsig() and PyOS_setsig().Guido van Rossum2000-09-161-0/+15

| | | | | | | Here are some changes to the C API docs. The memory examples & API have been updated because one malloc family is gone (Py_Malloc). You'll see other small additions to the "building new types" section for completeness and some cleanup at the end of the memory section.
