* 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.

* Make weak references subclassable:Fred Drake2004-07-021-2/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - weakref.ref and weakref.ReferenceType will become aliases for each other - weakref.ref will be a modern, new-style class with proper __new__ and __init__ methods - weakref.WeakValueDictionary will have a lighter memory footprint, using a new weakref.ref subclass to associate the key with the value, allowing us to have only a single object of overhead for each dictionary entry (currently, there are 3 objects of overhead per entry: a weakref to the value, a weakref to the dictionary, and a function object used as a weakref callback; the weakref to the dictionary could be avoided without this change) - a new macro, PyWeakref_CheckRefExact(), will be added - PyWeakref_CheckRef() will check for subclasses of weakref.ref This closes SF patch #983019.
* SF Bug #215126: Over restricted type checking on eval() functionRaymond Hettinger2004-07-021-2/+6
| | | | | | The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument. Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing down the normal case. My timings so no measurable impact.
