* Improve comments. Clarify docs.Raymond Hettinger2002-11-181-11/+12
| | | | | Replace "type(0)" with "int". Replace "while 1" with "while True"
* 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.
