* ReST-ification of the NEWS file. While the total number of changes areSkip Montanaro2002-09-201-55/+165
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fairly large, most are caused by reformatting section and subsection headings. The changes fall into the following categories: * reformatted section and subsection headers. * escaped isolated asterisks which would be interpreted as starting bold or italic text (e.g. "void (*)(PyObject \*)"). * quoted stuff that looks like internal references but isn't (e.g. ``PyCmp_``). * changed visually balanced quotes to just use apostrophes (e.g. "'string'" instead of "`string'"). * introduced and indenting multiline chunks of code. * created one table (search for "New codecs").
* The SGI demos are gone.Guido van Rossum2002-09-171-0/+5

|
* Apply diff3.txt (plus additional documentation)Walter Dörwald2002-09-061-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/554192 This adds two new functions to mimetypes: guess_all_extensions() which returns a list of all known extensions for a mime type, and add_type() which adds one mapping between a mime type and an extension.
* SF bug # 585792, Invalid mmap crashes Python interpreterNeal Norwitz2002-09-051-0/+3
| | | | | Raise ValueError if user passes a size to mmap which is larger than the file.
* Added "that" to correct grammar, the rest is due to wrappingNeal Norwitz2002-09-051-4/+4
|
* added a bit about the change to the thread tickerSkip Montanaro2002-09-031-0/+9
|
* expose PYTHON_API_VERSION macro as sys.api_version. Closes patch # 601456.Skip Montanaro2002-09-031-0/+4
|
* PEP 293 implemention (from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/432401)Walter Dörwald2002-09-021-0/+3

* SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation ofGuido van Rossum2002-08-191-0/+17
| | | | | | | | interning. I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea and most of the implementation is unchanged. Interned strings created with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a reference to the resulting string around; use the new function PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.
* News about sets. (There's no documentation; if someone wants toGuido van Rossum2002-08-191-0/+7
| | | | convert the doc strings to LaTeX, be my guest.)
* Fix spelling errors and note the addition of operator.pow()Raymond Hettinger2002-08-191-7/+9
|
* Newly-relaxed limits on random.randrange(). Also added some info aboutTim Peters2002-08-161-5/+12
| | | | Karatsuba's better cache behavior with extremely large multiplicands.
* Mention warnings about defining None.Guido van Rossum2002-08-161-0/+3
|
* This is my patchMichael W. Hudson2002-08-151-0/+5
| | | | | | | | [ 587993 ] SET_LINENO killer Remove SET_LINENO. Tracing is now supported by inspecting co_lnotab. Many sundry changes to document and adapt to this change.
* Add notes about universal newlines.Guido van Rossum2002-08-151-2/+10
|
* Add news about Fred's change to Py_InitModule4().Guido van Rossum2002-08-141-0/+4
|
* Add news about FutureWarning and PEP 237 stage B0.Guido van Rossum2002-08-141-0/+23
| | | | Tim predicts that we might as well call this CassandraWarning.
* Added new function k_lopsided_mul(), which is much more efficient thanTim Peters2002-08-121-3/+3
| | | | | | | | k_mul() when inputs have vastly different sizes, and a little more efficient when they're close to a factor of 2 out of whack. I consider this done now, although I'll set up some more correctness tests to run overnight.
* k_mul() and long_mul(): I'm confident that the Karatsuba algorithm isTim Peters2002-08-121-3/+10
| | | | | | | | correct now, so added some final comments, did some cleanup, and enabled it for all long-int multiplies. The KARAT envar no longer matters, although I left some #if 0'ed code in there for my own use (temporary). k_mul() is still much slower than x_mul() if the inputs have very differenent sizes, and that still needs to be addressed.
* New news about __class__ assignment restrictions and speed-up ofGuido van Rossum2002-08-121-43/+51
| | | | | | | new-style object creation/deallocation. Moved all news about type/class unification and new-stype classes to a separate section at the top.
* Revert what looks like a typo from the last checkinNeal Norwitz2002-08-121-1/+1
|
* Cautious introduction of a patch that started fromTim Peters2002-08-121-3/+7
| | | | | | | | SF 560379: Karatsuba multiplication. Lots of things were changed from that. This needs a lot more testing, for correctness and speed, the latter especially when bit lengths are unbalanced. For now, the Karatsuba code gets invoked if and only if envar KARAT exists.
* Add C API PyUnicode_FromOrdinal() which exposes unichr() at C level.Marc-André Lemburg2002-08-111-0/+6
| | | | | | | u'%c' will now raise a ValueError in case the argument is an integer outside the valid range of Unicode code point ordinals. Closes SF bug #593581.
* Clarify that the interruptable popen fixes aren't used under Win9x.Mark Hammond2002-08-101-3/+4
|
* Credit to Oren for the file-iterator patch.Guido van Rossum2002-08-091-1/+1

* News about the tempfile rewrite.Guido van Rossum2002-08-091-0/+10
