* Fix serious typo!Fred Drake2000-09-181-1/+3
| | | | Add the new constants to the module docstring.
* Richard Mortier <rmm1002@users.sourceforge.net>:Fred Drake2000-09-181-0/+2
| | | | Add the constants "printable" and "punctuation" to the string module.
* Spelling fixes supplied by Rob W. W. Hooft. All these are fixes in eitherThomas Wouters2000-07-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't"). There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
* Martin von Löwis <martin@loewis.home.cs.tu-berlin.de>:Fred Drake2000-07-031-40/+9
| | | | | | | This patch delegates more string functions to string object methods, uses the varargs delegation syntax, and stops using stringold. Closes SourceForge patch #100712.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | his copy of test_contains.py seems to be broken -- the lines he deleted were already absent). Checkin messages: New Unicode support for int(), float(), complex() and long(). - new APIs PyInt_FromUnicode() and PyLong_FromUnicode() - added support for Unicode to PyFloat_FromString() - new encoding API PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() which converts Unicode to a decimal char* string (used in the above new APIs) - shortcuts for calls like int(<int object>) and float(<float obj>) - tests for all of the above Unicode compares and contains checks: - comparing Unicode and non-string types now works; TypeErrors are masked, all other errors such as ValueError during Unicode coercion are passed through (note that PyUnicode_Compare does not implement the masking -- PyObject_Compare does this) - contains now works for non-string types too; TypeErrors are masked and 0 returned; all other errors are passed through Better testing support for the standard codecs. Misc minor enhancements, such as an alias dbcs for the mbcs codec. Changes: - PyLong_FromString() now applies the same error checks as does PyInt_FromString(): trailing garbage is reported as error and not longer silently ignored. The only characters which may be trailing the digits are 'L' and 'l' -- these are still silently ignored. - string.ato?() now directly interface to int(), long() and float(). The error strings are now a little different, but the type still remains the same. These functions are now ready to get declared obsolete ;-) - PyNumber_Int() now also does a check for embedded NULL chars in the input string; PyNumber_Long() already did this (and still does) Followed by: Looks like I've gone a step too far there... (and test_contains.py seem to have a bug too). I've changed back to reporting all errors in PyUnicode_Contains() and added a few more test cases to test_contains.py (plus corrected the join() NameError).
* Marc-Andre Lemburg: the maxsplit argument for split() and replace()Guido van Rossum2000-03-101-4/+4
| | | | | now defaults to -1, not to 0. Passing an explicit zero doesn't split or replace at all.
* Detabify.Fred Drake2000-02-101-28/+28
| | | | I ran "expand" instead of using Skip's patch, but it's all the same.
* The third and final doc-string sweep by Ka-Ping Yee.Guido van Rossum2000-02-041-7/+5
| | | | | | | | The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries. A new docstring was added to formatter. The docstring for os.py was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.
* split() docstring: Made signature and description for the firstFred Drake1999-11-041-2/+2
| | | | | parameter match. Error pointed out by François Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca> on c.l.py.
* Mainlining the string_methods branch. See branch revision logBarry Warsaw1999-10-121-430/+275
| | | | messages for specific changes.
* Fix PR#31 -- zfill() mishandles empty string.Guido van Rossum1999-10-111-1/+1
|
* As Tim Peters points out, ``from string import *'' should not set re to None.Guido van Rossum1998-04-201-9/+11
| | | | Also rename safe_env to _safe_env.
* Strip argument to atol and atof to match what strop does better.Guido van Rossum1998-03-301-2/+2
|
* A few lines were indented using spaces instead of tabs -- fix them.Guido van Rossum1998-03-261-4/+5
|
* Minor editing corrections.Guido van Rossum1997-12-291-13/+13
|
* Added doc string, provided by Charles Waldman (with some reformattingGuido van Rossum1997-12-291-0/+223
| | | | and a little editing my me).
* At Barry's suggestion, plug the security leak by using an emptyGuido van Rossum1997-12-101-3/+6
| | | | | | __builtins__ for all calls to eval(). This still allows someone to write string.atof("[1]*1000000") (which Jim Fulton worries about) but effectively disables access to system modules and functions.
* Since this module is used as a fallback in case no built-in modulesGuido van Rossum1997-12-101-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | have been configured, string.atof() should not fail when "import re" fails (usually because pcre is not there). This opens up a tiny security hole: *if* an attacker can make "import re" fail, they can also make string.atof(arbitrary_string) evaluate the arbitrary string. Nothing to keep me awake at night...
* In string.split(), honor maxsplit (if > 0).Guido van Rossum1997-12-011-2/+8
| | | | | | | | In string.splitfields(), ignore maxsplit if <= 0, rather than ignoring maxsplit=0 but effectively treating negative numbers the same as maxsplit=1. Also made the test for maxsplit slightly more efficient (set it to the length of the string when <= 0 so the test for its presence can be omitted from the loop).
* Convert all remaining *simple* cases of regex usage to re usage.Guido van Rossum1997-10-221-3/+6
|
* Add optional 4th argument to count(), matching find() etc.Guido van Rossum1997-10-201-7/+14
| | | | | | Also change all occurrences of "x == None" to "x is None" (not that it matters much, these functions are all reimplemented in strop -- but count() is not).
* Changed my mind on replace().Guido van Rossum1997-04-021-12/+2
| | | | | | It's now replace(str, old, new, maxsplit=0). Note new ordering of parameters (string first); this is more consistent with translate().
* Added new functions replace() and replace1().Guido van Rossum1997-03-251-0/+15
|
* Add optional 4th argument to [r]find and [r]index (end of slice).Guido van Rossum1997-03-141-10/+26
|
* Use correct separator for capwords(s, sep).Guido van Rossum1996-08-261-1/+1
|
* Add optional separator character to capwords(), for completeness.Guido van Rossum1996-08-201-2/+2
|
* Add optional third parameter to split() and splitfields(), giving theGuido van Rossum1996-08-081-4/+22
| | | | | maximum number of delimiters to parse; e.g. splitfields("a,b,c,d", ",", 2) -> ["a", "b", "c,d"].
* Added 3rd optional argument to translate(), a string of characters to delete.Guido van Rossum1996-07-231-9/+23
| | | | Added maketrans(), a utility to create a translation table.
* Added capitalize() and capwords().Guido van Rossum1996-06-111-0/+10
