| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* Remove the bogus flags parameter from the PyFile_WriteString() signature;Fred Drake2001-08-101-2/+1
| | | | | | it has no such parameter. This closes SF bug #449761.

* Move away from apply() to using extended call syntax for some exampleFred Drake2001-08-021-3/+19
| | | | | | | fragments when discussing equivalence of thhe C API to what a Python programmer sees. Added descriptions of PyEval_SetProfile() and PyEval_SetTrace().
* Typo: PyArgs_ParseTuple --> PyArg_ParseTupleFred Drake2001-07-201-30/+62
| | | | | | Moved the PyArg_Parse*(), Py_BuildValue() functions to the Utilities chapter, added a minimal description and reference to the Extending manual for Py_BuildValue().
* Added information on Py_BuildValue().Fred Drake2001-07-201-0/+3

* Adding what's done of the documentation for the new profiling &Fred Drake2001-07-171-0/+53

* Move the section on concrete numeric objects before the section onFred Drake2001-07-111-249/+249
| | | | | | concrete sequence objects, since their API is simpler. This is in response to a comment in SF bug #440037.
* Corrected the refcount information for PyList_SET_ITEM().Fred Drake2001-07-101-1/+1

* Document PyObject_New(), PyObject_NewVar(), PyObject_Init(),Fred Drake2001-07-101-24/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PyObject_InitVar(), PyObject_Del(), PyObject_NEW(), PyObject_NEW_VAR(), and PyObject_DEL(). Add notes to PyMem_Malloc() and PyMem_New() about the memory buffers not being initialized. This fixes SF bug #439012. Added explicit return value information for PyList_SetItem(), PyDict_SetItem(), and PyDict_SetItemString(). Corrected return type for PyList_SET_ITEM(). Fixed index entries in the descriptions of PyLong_AsLong() and PyLong_AsUnignedLong(). This fixes the API manual portion of SF bug #440037. Note that the headers properly declare everything as 'extern "C"' for C++ users. Document _Py_NoneStruct. Added links to the Extending & Embedding manual for PyArg_ParseTuple() and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(). Added note that PyArg_Parse() should not be used in new code. Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more difficult for non-native speakers.
* Fix for SF bug #436525, reported by Greg Kochanski:Thomas Wouters2001-07-091-2/+2
| | | | | | The block/unblock thread macros are called 'Py_BLOCK_THREADS' and 'Py_UNBLOCK_THREADS', not 'Py_BEGIN_BLOCK_THREADS' and 'Py_BEGIN_UNBLOCK_THREADS'.

* Move license information to a less annoying location in the document.Fred Drake2001-06-201-0/+13
| | | | Add documentation for PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename().
* Explained more differences between PyList_SetItem() and PyList_SET_ITEM().Fred Drake2001-06-031-2/+7
| | | | | | | In particular, the affect on existing list content was not sufficiently explained. This closes SF bug #429554.
* Users of PySequence_GET_FAST() should get the length of the sequence usingFred Drake2001-05-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | PySequence_Size(), not PyObject_Size(): the later considers the mapping methods as well as the sequence methods, which is not needed here. Either should be equally fast in this case, but PySequence_Size() offers a better conceptual match.
* Removed information on the old third parameter to _PyTuple_Resize().Fred Drake2001-05-291-1/+20
| | | | | | Added information on PyIter_Check(), PyIter_Next(), PyObject_Unicode(), PyString_AsDecodedObject(), PyString_AsEncodedObject(), and PyThreadState_GetDict().
* Do not start API descriptions with "Does the same, but ..." -- actuallyFred Drake2001-05-291-10/+13
| | | | | | | | state *which* other function the current one is like, even if the descriptions are adjacent. Revise the _PyTuple_Resize() description to reflect the removal of the third parameter.
* Add documentation for Py_Main() and PyThreadState_GetDict().Fred Drake2001-05-211-0/+21

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