* 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
| | | | | three recent optimizations. Aside from reducing code volume, it increases readability.
* SF Patch #912462: Relocate \end tag to the right place.Hye-Shik Chang2004-03-091-1/+2
| | | | (Submitted by George Yoshida)
* 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
| | | | documentation as well as the source code.
* 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.
