* Rip out 'long' and 'L'-suffixed integer literals.Guido van Rossum2007-01-151-2/+2
| | | | (Rough first cut.)
* Restructure comparison dramatically. There is no longer a defaultGuido van Rossum2006-08-241-35/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | *ordering* between objects; there is only a default equality test (defined by an object being equal to itself only). Read the comment in object.c. The current implementation never uses a three-way comparison to compute a rich comparison, but it does use a rich comparison to compute a three-way comparison. I'm not quite done ripping out all the calls to PyObject_Compare/Cmp, or replacing tp_compare implementations with tp_richcompare implementations; but much of that has happened (to make most unit tests pass). The following tests still fail, because I need help deciding or understanding: test_codeop -- depends on comparing code objects test_datetime -- need Tim Peters' opinion test_marshal -- depends on comparing code objects test_mutants -- need help understanding it The problem with test_codeop and test_marshal is this: these tests compare two different code objects and expect them to be equal. Is that still a feature we'd like to support? I've temporarily removed the comparison and hash code from code objects, so they use the default (equality by pointer only) comparison. For the other two tests, run them to see for yourself. (There may be more failing test with "-u all".) A general problem with getting lots of these tests to pass is the reality that for object types that have a natural total ordering, implementing __cmp__ is much more convenient than implementing __eq__, __ne__, __lt__, and so on. Should we go back to allowing __cmp__ to provide a total ordering? Should we provide some other way to implement rich comparison with a single method override? Alex proposed a __key__() method; I've considered a __richcmp__() method. Or perhaps __cmp__() just shouldn't be killed off...
* - Patch 1433928:Guido van Rossum2006-02-251-0/+16
| | | | | | | | - The copy module now "copies" function objects (as atomic objects). - dict.__getitem__ now looks for a __missing__ hook before raising KeyError. - Added a new type, defaultdict, to the collections module. This uses the new __missing__ hook behavior added to dict (see above).
* Replace backticks with repr() or "%r"Walter Dörwald2004-02-121-2/+2

* Deleting cyclic object comparison.Armin Rigo2003-10-281-6/+6
| | | | | SF patch 825639 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-October/039445.html
* Copy builtin functions as atomic. Fixes #746304. Will backport to 2.2.Martin v. Löwis2003-06-141-2/+2

* SF patch 707900, fixing bug 702858, by Steven Taschuk.Guido van Rossum2003-06-131-2/+49
| | | | | Copying a new-style class that had a reference to itself didn't work. (The same thing worked fine for old-style classes.)
* Fix SF #749831, copy raises SystemError when getstate raises exceptionNeal Norwitz2003-06-081-0/+6

* Combine the functionality of test_support.run_unittest()Walter Dörwald2003-05-011-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | and test_support.run_classtests() into run_unittest() and use it wherever possible. Also don't use "from test.test_support import ...", but "from test import test_support" in a few spots. From SF patch #662807.
* Use __reduce_ex__ in copy.py. The test_*copy_cant() tests are simpler again.Guido van Rossum2003-02-191-8/+24

* Somehow, copy() of a classic class object was handledGuido van Rossum2003-02-071-1/+1
| | | | | | atomically, but deepcopy() didn't support this at all. I don't see any reason for this, so I'm adding ClassType to the set of types that are deep-copied atomically.
* Add support for copy_reg.dispatch_table.Guido van Rossum2003-02-071-0/+27
| | | | | Rewrote copy() and deepcopy() without avoidable try/except statements; getattr(x, name, None) or dict.get() are much faster than try/except.
* Fix a bug in the way __getnewargs__ was handled.Guido van Rossum2003-02-061-0/+18

* Support all the new stuff supported by the new pickle code:Guido van Rossum2003-02-061-2/+45
