* At 2.2, the Py<type>_Check() family of API functions (macros) changedAndrew MacIntyre2003-12-261-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | semantics to include subtypes. Most concrete object APIs then had a Py<type>_CheckExact() macro added to test for an object's type not including subtypes. The PyDict_CheckExact() macro wasn't created at that time, so I've added it for API completeness/symmetry - even though nobody has complained about its absence in the time since 2.2 was released. Not a backport candidate.
* The semantics of PyList_Check() and PyDict_Check() changed at 2.2, alongAndrew MacIntyre2003-12-251-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | with most other concrete object checks, but the docs weren't brought into line. PyList_CheckExact() was added at 2.2 but never documented. backport candidate.

* Clarified the error cases and Unicode handling of PyString_AsString(),Fred Drake2002-10-221-8/+17

* This is my nearly two year old patchMichael W. Hudson2002-06-111-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | [ 400998 ] experimental support for extended slicing on lists somewhat spruced up and better tested than it was when I wrote it. Includes docs & tests. The whatsnew section needs expanding, and arrays should support extended slices -- later.
* Typo: whcar_t should be wchar_t.Thomas Heller2002-04-291-4/+4

* Repair widespread misuse of _PyString_Resize. Since it's clear peopleTim Peters2002-04-271-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs. The most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos): if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) { Py_DECREF(s); s = NULL; goto outtahere; } The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL. So if the "if" branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s): s is already NULL! A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended) if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) goto outtahere; Bugfix candidate.
* Warn people away from PyModule_GetDict(), but not too strongly.Fred Drake2002-04-121-0/+3
| | | | | | | (The real issue is whether modules can benefit from an alternate implementation strategy rather than using a dictionary. We should migrate away from direct dictionary manipulation to allow more room for Jeremy to flex the implementation with changes in globals lookup.)

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.
