* SF feature request #686323: Minor array module enhancementsRaymond Hettinger2004-03-141-4/+7
| | | | | | | array.extend() now accepts iterable arguments implements as a series of appends. Besides being a user convenience and matching the behavior for lists, this the saves memory and cycles that would be used to create a temporary array object.
* Use a new macro, PySequence_Fast_ITEMS to factor out code common toRaymond Hettinger2004-03-121-0/+7

* Optimize tuple_slice() and make further improvements to list_slice()Raymond Hettinger2004-03-081-0/+3
| | | | | | and list.extend(). Factoring the inner loops to remove the constant structure references and fixed offsets gives speedups ranging from 20% to 30%.
* SF patch #910929: Optimize list comprehensionsRaymond Hettinger2004-03-071-0/+4
| | | | | Add a new opcode, LIST_APPEND, and apply it to the code generation for list comprehensions. Reduces the per-loop overhead by about a third.
* SF #904720: dict.update should take a 2-tuple sequence like dict.__init_Raymond Hettinger2004-03-042-3/+14
| | | | | | | | (Championed by Bob Ippolito.) The update() method for mappings now accepts all the same argument forms as the dict() constructor. This includes item lists and/or keyword arguments.
* Added license notices that are required to be included in theRaymond Hettinger2004-03-031-1/+331

* Have strftime() check its time tuple argument to make sure the tuple's valuesBrett Cannon2004-03-021-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | are within proper boundaries as specified in the docs. This can break possible code (datetime module needed changing, for instance) that uses 0 for values that need to be greater 1 or greater (month, day, and day of year). Fixes bug #897625.
* Replace left(), right(), and __reversed__() with the more general purposeRaymond Hettinger2004-03-011-15/+6
| | | | | | | __getitem__() and __setitem__(). Simplifies the API, reduces the code size, adds flexibility, and makes deques work with bisect.bisect(), random.shuffle(), and random.sample().
* Improvements to collections.deque():Raymond Hettinger2004-02-291-7/+22
| | | | | | | | * Add doctests for the examples in the library reference. * Add two methods, left() and right(), modeled after deques in C++ STL. * Apply the new method to asynchat.py. * Add comparison operators to make deques more substitutable for lists. * Replace the LookupErrors with IndexErrors to more closely match lists.

* Implementation of patch 869468David Ascher2004-02-181-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow the user to create Tkinter.Tcl objects which are just like Tkinter.Tk objects except that they do not initialize Tk. This is useful in circumstances where the script is being run on machines that do not have an X server running -- in those cases, Tk initialization fails, even if no window is ever created. Includes documentation change and tests. Tested on Linux, Solaris and Windows. Reviewed by Martin von Loewis.

* Fine tune the speed/space trade-off for overallocating small lists.Raymond Hettinger2004-02-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Py2.3 approach overallocated small lists by up to 8 elements. The last checkin would limited this to one but slowed down (by 20 to 30%) the creation of small lists between 3 to 8 elements. This tune-up balances the two, limiting overallocation to 3 elements (significantly reducing space consumption from Py2.3) and running faster than the previous checkin. The first part of the growth pattern (0, 4, 8, 16) neatly meshes with allocators that trigger data movement only when crossing a power of two boundary. Also, then even numbers mesh well with common data alignments.
