* Mostly in SequenceMatcher.{__chain_b, find_longest_match}:Tim Peters2002-04-291-14/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently repeated as to constitute noise. The primary benefit is an enormous speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the sequences have many duplicate elements. In effect, this zooms in on sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now. While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider this experimental. Please give it a try!

* SF patch [ 545523 ] patch for 514433 bsddb.dbopen (NULL)Anthony Baxter2002-04-231-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | closes SF #514433 can now pass 'None' as the filename for the bsddb.*open functions, and you'll get an in-memory temporary store. docs are ripped out of the bsddb dbopen man page. Fred may want to clean them up. Considering this for 2.2, but not 2.1.

| | | | | | | | | http://www.python.org/sf/444708 This adds the optional argument for str.strip to unicode.strip too and makes it possible to call str.strip with a unicode argument and unicode.strip with a str argument.

* Apply the second version of SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/536241Walter Dörwald2002-04-151-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Add a method zfill to str, unicode and UserString and change Lib/string.py accordingly. This activates the zfill version in unicodeobject.c that was commented out and implements the same in stringobject.c. It also adds the test for unicode support in Lib/string.py back in and uses repr() instead() of str() (as it was before Lib/string.py 1.62)

* Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described inGuido van Rossum2002-04-032-10/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True. (The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y) style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those places where a bool is expected. Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library modules to return False/True from predicates.
* Add an experimental mechanism to support extending the pprint formatting.Fred Drake2002-04-021-0/+23

* Explain that os.spawn*() return the process handle on Windows.Fred Drake2002-04-011-3/+5
| | | | | Clarify that os.waitpid() on Windows takes a process handle, not a process ID. This closes SF bug #537582.
* Fix up the documentation of the type codes to give both the C and PythonFred Drake2002-04-011-17/+24
| | | | | | | | | types for each code, and give the actual C types. Clarified the support for slice operations and note when some TypeError exceptions are raised. This closes SF bugs 518767 and 536469.
