* Improvements to set.py:Raymond Hettinger2003-08-171-38/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Relaxed the argument restrictions for non-operator methods. They now allow any iterable instead of requiring a set. This makes the module a little easier to use and paves the way for an efficient C implementation which can take better advantage of iterable arguments while screening out immutables. * Deprecated Set.update() because it now duplicates Set.union_update() * Adapted the tests and docs to include the above changes. * Added more test coverage including testing identities and checking to make sure non-restartable generators work as arguments. Will backport to Py2.3.1 so that the interface remains consistent across versions. The deprecation of update() will be changed to a FutureWarning.

* SF bug 693121: Set == non-Set is a TypeError.Tim Peters2003-03-021-6/+26
| | | | | | | | | Allow mixed-type __eq__ and __ne__ for Set objects. This is messier than I'd like because Set *also* implements __cmp__. I know of one glitch now: cmp(s, t) returns 0 now when s and t are both Sets and s == t, despite that Set.__cmp__ unconditionally raises TypeError (and by intent). The rub is that __eq__ gets tried first, and the x.__eq__(y) True result convinces Python that cmp(x, y) is 0 without even calling Set.__cmp__.

* Closes SF bug #628246.Raymond Hettinger2002-11-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | The _update method detected mutable elements by trapping TypeErrors. Unfortunately, this masked useful TypeErrors raised by the iterable itself. For cases where it is possible for an iterable to raise a TypeError, the iterable is pre-converted to a list outside the try/except so that any TypeErrors propagate through.

| | | | | | | | underlying dictionaries, there were no reasonable use cases (lexicographic sorting of a list of sets is somewhat esoteric). Frees the operators for other uses (such as strict subset and superset comparisons). Updated documentation and test suite accordingly.
* At Tim Peter's suggestion, propagated GvR's binary operator changes toRaymond Hettinger2002-08-241-8/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | the inplace operators. The strategy is to have the operator overloading code do the work and then to define equivalent method calls which rely on the operators. The changes facilitate proper application of TypeError and NonImplementedErrors. Added corresponding tests to the test suite to make sure both the operator and method call versions get exercised. Add missing tests for difference_update().
* Since instances of _TemporarilyImmutableSet are always thrown awayRaymond Hettinger2002-08-241-5/+1
| | | | | | immediately after the comparison, there in no use in caching the hashcode. The test, 'if self._hashcode is None', never fails. Removing the caching saves a few lines and a little time.
* 1. Removed module self test in favor of unittests -- Timbot's suggestion.Raymond Hettinger2002-08-241-109/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2. Replaced calls to Set([]) with Set() -- Timbot's suggestion 3. Fixed subtle bug in sets of sets: The following code did not work (will add to test suite): d = Set('d') s = Set([d]) # Stores inner set as an ImmutableSet s.remove(d) # For comparison, wraps d in _TemporarilyImmutableSet The comparison proceeds by computing the hash of the _TemporarilyImmutableSet and finding it in the dictionary. It then verifies equality by calling ImmutableSet.__eq__() and crashes from the binary sanity check. The problem is that the code assumed equality would be checked with _TemporarilyImmutableSet.__eq__(). The solution is to let _TemporarilyImmutableSet derive from BaseSet so it will pass the sanity check and then to provide it with the ._data element from the wrapped set so that ImmutableSet.__eq__() will find ._data where it expects. Since ._data is now provided and because BaseSet is the base class, _TemporarilyImmutableSet no longer needs .__eq__() or .__ne__(). Note that inheriting all of BaseSet's methods is harmless because none of those methods (except ones starting with an underscore) can mutate the .data element. Also _TemporarilyImmutableSet is only used internally as is not otherwise visible.

* Change the binary operators |, &, ^, - to return NotImplemented ratherGuido van Rossum2002-08-221-14/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | than raising TypeError when the other argument is not a BaseSet. This made it necessary to separate the implementation of e.g. __or__ from the union method; the latter should not return NotImplemented but raise TypeError. This is accomplished by making union(self, other) return self|other, etc.; Python's binary operator machinery will raise TypeError. The idea behind this change is to allow other set implementations with an incompatible internal structure; these can provide union (etc.) with standard sets by implementing __ror__ etc. I wish I could do this for comparisons too, but the default comparison implementation allows comparing anything to anything else (returning false); we don't want that (at least the test suite makes sure e.g. Set()==42 raises TypeError). That's probably fine; otherwise other set implementations would be constrained to implementing a hash that's compatible with ours.
* Now that __init__ transforms set elements, we know that all of theRaymond Hettinger2002-08-211-1/+3
| | | | | elements are hashable, so we can use dict.update() or dict.copy() for a C speed Set.copy().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | superficial errors and one deep one that aren't currently caught. I'm headed for bed after this checkin. - Fixed several typos introduced by Raymond Hettinger (through cut-n-paste from my template): it's _as_temporarily_immutable, not _as_temporary_immutable, and moreover when the element is added, we should use _as_immutable. - Made the seq argument to ImmutableSet.__init__ optional, so we can write ImmutableSet() to create an immutable empty set. - Rename the seq argument to Set and ImmutableSet to iterable. - Add a Set.__hash__ method that raises a TypeError. We inherit a default __hash__ implementation from object, and we don't want that. We can then catch this in update(), so that e.g. s.update([Set([1])]) will transform the Set([1]) to ImmutableSet([1]). - Added the dance to catch TypeError and try _as_immutable in the constructors too (by calling _update()). This is needed so that Set([Set([1])]) is correctly interpreted as Set([ImmutableSet([1])]). (I was puzzled by a side effect of this and the inherited __hash__ when comparing two sets of sets while testing different powerset implementations: the Set element passed to a Set constructor wasn't transformed to an ImmutableSet, and then the dictionary didn't believe the Set found in one dict it was the same as ImmutableSet in the other, because the hashes were different.) - Refactored Set.update() and both __init__() methods; moved the body of update() into BaseSet as _update(), and call this from __init__() and update(). - Changed the NotImplementedError in BaseSet.__init__ to TypeError, both for consistency with basestring() and because we have to use TypeError when denying Set.__hash__. Together those provide sufficient evidence that an unimplemented method needs to raise TypeError.
