| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | committed. tokenize.py: I like these changes, and have tested them extensively without even realizing it, so I just updated the docstring and the docs. tabnanny.py: Also liked this, but did a little code fiddling. I should really rewrite this to *exploit* generators, but that's near the bottom of my effort/benefit scale so doubt I'll get to it anytime soon (it would be most useful as a non-trivial example of ideal use of generators; but test_generators.py has already grown plenty of food-for-thought examples). inspect.py: I'm sure Ping intended for this to continue running even under 1.5.2, so I reverted this to the last pre-gen-branch version. The "bugfix" I checked in in-between was actually repairing a bug *introduced* by the conversion to generators, so it's OK that the reverted version doesn't reflect that checkin.

* Document the new encodestring() and decodestring() functions. Also,Barry Warsaw2001-06-191-2/+19
| | | | | | add some description of what the quotetabs argument does for the encode*() functions. Finally, add a "see also" pointing to the base64 module.

* Fixed reference to table notes for {}.keys() and {}.items() -- theseFred Drake2001-06-121-4/+4
| | | | | | | references did not get updated when the notes were renumbered in a previous update. This fixes SF bug #432208.
* Added q/Q standard (x-platform 8-byte ints) mode in struct module.Tim Peters2001-06-121-7/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This completes the q/Q project. longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray: The original code had a gross bug: the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign bit it has else spurious overflow errors result. test_struct.py: This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative. NEWS: Added brief dict news while I was at it.
* Add the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family ofFred Drake2001-06-111-4/+7
| | | | | | | functions -- these are not available on traditional Mac OS platforms. Corrected the version annotations for the spawn*() functions and related constants; these were added in Python 1.6, not 1.5.2.
* Fixed parameter order for os.popen2(), os.popen3(), and os.popen(4). AddedFred Drake2001-06-111-3/+11
| | | | | | | a reference to these functions and popen() from the "Process Management" section. Based on a suggestion from comp.lang.python.

* Initial support for 'q' and 'Q' struct format codes: for now, only inTim Peters2001-06-101-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG. Standard mode will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own; I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8). test_struct.py: In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests, got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes). libstruct.tex: In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior.
