* SF bugs 996748: os.environ documentation should indicate unreliabilityTim Peters2004-07-261-3/+12
| | | | | | Clarifed that os.environ is captured once; emphasized that it's better to assign to os.environ than to call putenv() directly (the putenv() docs said so, but the environ docs didn't).
* SF bug 996392: math and cmath docs don't specify radiansTim Peters2004-07-241-64/+99
| | | | | | | Major rewrite of the math module docs. Slapped in "radians" where appropriate; grouped the functions into reasonable categories; supplied many more words to address common confusions about some of the subtler issues.

* This change implements the following gettext features, asGustavo Niemeyer2004-07-222-17/+126
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | discussed recently in python-dev: In _locale module: - bind_textdomain_codeset() binding In gettext module: - bind_textdomain_codeset() function - lgettext(), lngettext(), ldgettext(), ldngettext(), which return translated strings encoded in preferred system encoding, if bind_textdomain_codeset() was not used. - Added equivalent functionality in translate() function and catalog classes. Every change was also documented.

| | | | | | | The last call to fcntl (which wasn't changed) doesn't work for me, but the first part works now. Backport candidate.

* SF bug 990749: os constants missingTim Peters2004-07-151-7/+10
| | | | | | | A LaTeX comment identified the 6 os.O_XXX constants the docs claimed are available on Windows but aren't. The bug report listed the same 6. Split these non-Windows constants into a different table with a possibly correct "Availability:" claim.

* Bug #788520: Queue class has logic error when non-blockingTim Peters2004-07-121-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't agree it had a bug (see the report), so this is *not* a candidate for backporting, but the docs were confusing and the Queue implementation was old enough to vote. Rewrote put/put_nowait/get/get_nowait from scratch, to use a pair of Conditions (not_full and not_empty), sharing a common mutex. The code is 1/4 the size now, and 6.25x easier to understand. For blocking with timeout, we also get to reuse (indirectly) the tedious timeout code from threading.Condition. The Full and Empty exceptions raised by non-blocking calls are now easy (instead of nearly impossible) to explain truthfully: Full is raised if and only if the Queue truly is full when the non-blocking put call checks the queue size, and similarly for Empty versus non-blocking get. What I don't know is whether the new implementation is slower (or faster) than the old one. I don't really care. Anyone who cares a lot is encouraged to check that.

* Improve Context construction and representation:Raymond Hettinger2004-07-101-15/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | * Rename "trap_enablers" to just "traps". * Simplify names of "settraps" and "setflags" to just "traps" and "flags". * Show "capitals" in the context representation * Simplify the Context constructor to match its repr form so that only the set flags and traps need to be listed. * Representation can now be run through eval(). Improve the error message when the Decimal constructor is given a float. The test suite no longer needs a duplicate reset_flags method.
