* PEP 343 -- the with-statement.Guido van Rossum2006-02-272-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This was started by Mike Bland and completed by Guido (with help from Neal). This still needs a __future__ statement added; Thomas is working on Michael's patch for that aspect. There's a small amount of code cleanup and refactoring in ast.c, compile.c and ceval.c (I fixed the lltrace behavior when EXT_POP is used -- however I had to make lltrace a static global).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | breaks the parser module, because it adds the if/else construct as well as two new grammar rules for backward compatibility. If no one else fixes parsermodule, I guess I'll go ahead and fix it later this week. The TeX code was checked with texcheck.py, but not rendered. There is actually a slight incompatibility: >>> (x for x in lambda:0) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: iteration over non-sequence changes into >>> (x for x in lambda: 0) File "<stdin>", line 1 (x for x in lambda: 0) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Since there's no way the former version can be useful, it's probably a bugfix ;)
* - Patch 1433928:Guido van Rossum2006-02-253-6/+64
| | | | | | | | - The copy module now "copies" function objects (as atomic objects). - dict.__getitem__ now looks for a __missing__ hook before raising KeyError. - Added a new type, defaultdict, to the collections module. This uses the new __missing__ hook behavior added to dict (see above).

* Added the cProfile module.Armin Rigo2006-02-083-42/+124
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on lsprof (patch #1212837) by Brett Rosen and Ted Czotter. With further editing by Michael Hudson and myself. History in svn repo: http://codespeak.net/svn/user/arigo/hack/misc/lsprof * Module/_lsprof.c is the internal C module, Lib/cProfile.py a wrapper. * pstats.py updated to display cProfile's caller/callee timings if available. * setup.py and NEWS updated. * documentation updates in the profiler section: - explain the differences between the three profilers that we have now - profile and cProfile can use a unified documentation, like (c)Pickle - mention that hotshot is "for specialized usage" now - removed references to the "old profiler" that no longer exists * test updates: - extended test_profile to cover delicate cases like recursion - added tests for the caller/callee displays - added test_cProfile, performing the same tests for cProfile * TO-DO: - cProfile gives a nicer name to built-in, particularly built-in methods, which could be backported to profile. - not tested on Windows recently!

* Patch #1407135, bug #1424041, make mmap.mmap(-1, length) work the sameNeal Norwitz2006-02-051-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | on both Unix (SVR4 and BSD) and Windows. Restores behaviour of passing -1 for anonymous memory on Unix. Use MAP_ANONYMOUS instead of _ANON since the latter is deprecated according to Linux (gentoo) man pages. Should we continue to allow mmap.mmap(0, length) to work on Windows? 0 is a valid fd. Will backport bugfix portions.
