* Reorganize the docs for 'file' and 'open()' after some discussion with Fred.Andrew M. Kuchling2006-07-291-63/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We want to encourage users to write open() when opening a file, but open() was described with a single paragraph and 'file' had lots of explanation of the mode and bufsize arguments. I've shrunk the description of 'file' to cross-reference to the 'File objects' section, and to open() for an explanation of the arguments. open() now has all the paragraphs about the mode string. The bufsize argument was moved up so that it isn't buried at the end; now there's 1 paragraph on mode, 1 on bufsize, and then 3 more on mode. Various other edits and rearrangements were made in the process. It's probably best to read the final text and not to try to make sense of the diffs.

* Patch #1434038: property() now uses the getter's docstring if there isGeorg Brandl2006-03-081-0/+5
| | | | | no "doc" argument given. This makes it possible to legitimately use property() as a decorator to produce a read-only property.

* Bug 1003935: xrange overflowsTim Peters2004-08-081-9/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing. Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New(). This fixes a variety of bogus errors. Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now. Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to native C longs. Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.

* SF Bug #215126: Over restricted type checking on eval() functionRaymond Hettinger2004-07-021-2/+6
| | | | | | The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument. Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing down the normal case. My timings so no measurable impact.
