* Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple isWalter Dörwald2002-12-121-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(), this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e. any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a TypeError. This closes SF patch #649608.
* Patch #651621, approved by MvL.Just van Rossum2002-12-121-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance: z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w") z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data) z.close() I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient for simple (but common) things. If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time, which makes sense to me for anonymous data.

* Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situationsSkip Montanaro2002-12-081-4/+34
| | | | | | | | this can result in significantly smaller files. All classes as well as the open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to False for backward compatibility. Added a small test suite, updated the libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.

* Improve DictMixin.Raymond Hettinger2002-11-181-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | Replaced docstring with comments. Prevents subclass contamination. Added the missing __cmp__() method and a test for __cmp__(). Used try/except style in preference to has_key() followed by a look-up. Used iteritem() where possible to save creating a long key list and to save redundant lookups. Expanded .update() to look for the most helpful methods first and gradually work down to a mininum expected interface. Expanded documentation to be more clear on how to use the class.

* SF patch 637176: list.sort crasherTim Peters2002-11-121-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation. The dreaded internal "immutable list type" is gone! OTOH, if you look at a list *while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty. Better than a core dump.
