* Integrated SF patch #539487 by Matthias Klose:Fred Drake2002-05-035-59/+958
| | | | | | | | This patch adds Milan Zamazal's conversion script and modifies the mkinfo script to build the info doc files from the LaTeX sources. Currently, the mac, doc and inst TeX files are not handled. Explicitly checks for GNU Emacs 21.

* Work around limitation of Cygwin Perl: To avoid a permission denial, we needFred Drake2002-05-021-1/+10
| | | | | | to do the inplace-edit with a backup file. A quick test leads me to believe this is sufficient to allow building the documentation on Cygwin; a full test is in progress.

* Added a missing "|" in the grammar productions used in the reference manualFred Drake2002-04-301-7/+9
| | | | | | | (reported by François Pinard). Added some missing "_" characters in the same cluster of productions. Added missing floor division operator in m_expr production, and mention floor division in the relevant portion of the text.

* Mostly in SequenceMatcher.{__chain_b, find_longest_match}:Tim Peters2002-04-291-14/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently repeated as to constitute noise. The primary benefit is an enormous speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the sequences have many duplicate elements. In effect, this zooms in on sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now. While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider this experimental. Please give it a try!
* Repair widespread misuse of _PyString_Resize. Since it's clear peopleTim Peters2002-04-271-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs. The most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos): if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) { Py_DECREF(s); s = NULL; goto outtahere; } The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL. So if the "if" branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s): s is already NULL! A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended) if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) goto outtahere; Bugfix candidate.

* SF patch [ 545523 ] patch for 514433 bsddb.dbopen (NULL)Anthony Baxter2002-04-231-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | closes SF #514433 can now pass 'None' as the filename for the bsddb.*open functions, and you'll get an in-memory temporary store. docs are ripped out of the bsddb dbopen man page. Fred may want to clean them up. Considering this for 2.2, but not 2.1.
* Apply patch diff.txt from SF feature requestWalter Dörwald2002-04-221-7/+18
| | | | | | | | | http://www.python.org/sf/444708 This adds the optional argument for str.strip to unicode.strip too and makes it possible to call str.strip with a unicode argument and unicode.strip with a str argument.
* Hack around the "2.1.6 Blank lines" bug in a way that the TOC stillTim Peters2002-04-211-8/+10
| | | | | displays a recognizable section title (there are extra blanks at the end of it now, due to the nested anchor, but that's fine).
* Give the Help viewer a font-size button. This isn't documented by MS,Tim Peters2002-04-211-1/+30
