* Initial support for 'q' and 'Q' struct format codes: for now, only inTim Peters2001-06-101-10/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG. Standard mode will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own; I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8). test_struct.py: In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests, got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes). libstruct.tex: In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior.
* Update the code to better reflect recommended style:Fred Drake2000-12-121-4/+4
| | | | | Use != instead of <> since <> is documented as "obsolescent". Use "is" and "is not" when comparing with None or type objects.
* Make reindent.py happy (convert everything to 4-space indents!).Fred Drake2000-10-231-1/+1
