* This patch originated from an idea by Martin v. Loewis who submitted aMarc-André Lemburg2001-04-231-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | patch for sharing single character Unicode objects. Martin's patch had to be reworked in a number of ways to take Unicode resizing into consideration as well. Here's what the updated patch implements: * Single character Unicode strings in the Latin-1 range are shared (not only ASCII chars as in Martin's original patch). * The ASCII and Latin-1 codecs make use of this optimization, providing a noticable speedup for single character strings. Most Unicode methods can use the optimization as well (by virtue of using PyUnicode_FromUnicode()). * Some code cleanup was done (replacing memcpy with Py_UNICODE_COPY) * The PyUnicode_Resize() can now also handle the case of resizing unicode_empty which previously resulted in an error. * Modified the internal API _PyUnicode_Resize() and the public PyUnicode_Resize() API to handle references to shared objects correctly. The _PyUnicode_Resize() signature changed due to this. * Callers of PyUnicode_FromUnicode() may now only modify the Unicode object contents of the returned object in case they called the API with NULL as content template. Note that even though this patch passes the regression tests, there may still be subtle bugs in the sharing code.
* At the suggestion of Peter Funk, document 'key in dict' and 'key notGuido van Rossum2001-04-231-6/+6

* Update publish-to-SourceForge scripts to automatically determine if theFred Drake2001-04-222-7/+26
| | | | | branch is the head (development) branch or a maintenance brach, and use the appropriate target directory for each.
* Only document <file>.xreadlines() once; added version annotation.Fred Drake2001-04-221-7/+4

| | | | | | | | | I know some people don't like this -- if it's really controversial, I'll take it out again. (If it's only Alex Martelli who doesn't like it, that doesn't count as "real controversial" though. :-) That's why this is a separate checkin from the iterators stuff I'm about to check in next.
* Add versioning notes: many of the signatures changed to allow the timeFred Drake2001-04-191-0/+5

| | | | | | (Note that the docs are also being maintained on the 2.1.1 maintenance branch, so users interested only in corrections and clarifications can get that.)
* Add description of the "explanation" optional parameter added to theFred Drake2001-04-181-5/+8

* Added support for optional explanation parameter to the \versionaddedFred Drake2001-04-181-13/+14

Added the assert*() names for the TestCase helper methods.
