* 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.
* A number of small adjustments.Fred Drake2001-12-111-4/+12

* SF bug #491415 PyDict_UpdateFromSeq2() unusedTim Peters2001-12-111-20/+43
| | | | | | | PyDict_UpdateFromSeq2(): removed it. PyDict_MergeFromSeq2(): made it public and documented it. PyDict_Merge() docs: updated to reveal <wink> that the second argument can be any mapping object.
* Document that PyString_FromString() cannot take NULL as a parameter.Fred Drake2001-12-061-1/+2
| | | | This closes SF bug #489872.
* Clarify that the Python runtime may behave mysteriously when an exceptionFred Drake2001-12-031-4/+12
| | | | | is not handled properly. This closes SF bug #485153.
* Remove most references to __members__ and __methods__, leaving only one pairFred Drake2001-12-031-3/+3
| | | | | | of references that now state that these attributes have been removed, directing the reader to the dir() function. This closes SF bug #456420.
* PyErr_Format() does not return a new reference; it always returns NULL.Fred Drake2001-12-031-7/+5
| | | | This closes SF bug #488387.
* Update the signature of PyFile_WriteString().Fred Drake2001-11-292-2/+2
|
* Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take noFred Drake2001-11-282-3/+3
| | | | | | | | 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.

|
* Add PyObject_CheckReadBuffer(), which returns true if its argumentJeremy Hylton2001-11-091-0/+39

* Added refcount data for PyObject_CallFunctionObArgs() andFred Drake2001-10-261-0/+9

* Generalize dictionary() to accept a sequence of 2-sequences. At theTim Peters2001-10-261-5/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).
