* Blurb about the increased precision of float literals in .pyc/.pyo files.Tim Peters2001-05-081-0/+20

* SF patch #421922: Implement rich comparison for dicts.Tim Peters2001-05-081-2/+4
| | | | | | d1 == d2 and d1 != d2 now work even if the keys and values in d1 and d2 don't support comparisons other than ==, and testing dicts for equality is faster now (especially when inequality obtains).
* Generalize zip() to work with iterators.Tim Peters2001-05-061-8/+4
| | | | | | | | NEEDS DOC CHANGES. More AttributeErrors transmuted into TypeErrors, in test_b2.py, and, again, this strikes me as a good thing. This checkin completes the iterator generalization work that obviously needed to be done. Can anyone think of others that should be changed?
* Generalize PySequence_Count() (operator.countOf) to work with iterators.Tim Peters2001-05-051-2/+4
|
* Remove redundant line.Tim Peters2001-05-051-1/+0

* Make 'x in y' and 'x not in y' (PySequence_Contains) play nice w/ iterators.Tim Peters2001-05-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | NEEDS DOC CHANGES A few more AttributeErrors turned into TypeErrors, but in test_contains this time. The full story for instance objects is pretty much unexplainable, because instance_contains() tries its own flavor of iteration-based containment testing first, and PySequence_Contains doesn't get a chance at it unless instance_contains() blows up. A consequence is that some_complex_number in some_instance dies with a TypeError unless some_instance.__class__ defines __iter__ but does not define __getitem__.
* Make unicode.join() work nice with iterators. This also required a changeTim Peters2001-05-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | to string.join(), so that when the latter figures out in midstream that it really needs unicode.join() instead, unicode.join() can actually get all the sequence elements (i.e., there's no guarantee that the sequence passed to string.join() can be iterated over *again* by unicode.join(), so string.join() must not pass on the original sequence object anymore).
* Mark string.join() as done. Turns out string_join() works "for free" now,Tim Peters2001-05-051-1/+2
| | | | | | because PySequence_Fast() started working for free as soon as PySequence_Tuple() learned how to work with iterators. For some reason unicode.join() still doesn't work, though.
* Generalize tuple() to work nicely with iterators.Tim Peters2001-05-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NEEDS DOC CHANGES. This one surprised me! While I expected tuple() to be a no-brainer, turns out it's actually dripping with consequences: 1. It will *allow* the popular PySequence_Fast() to work with any iterable object (code for that not yet checked in, but should be trivial). 2. It caused two std tests to fail. This because some places used PyTuple_Sequence() (the C spelling of tuple()) as an indirect way to test whether something *is* a sequence. But tuple() code only looked for the existence of sq->item to determine that, and e.g. an instance passed that test whether or not it supported the other operations tuple() needed (e.g., __len__). So some things the tests *expected* to fail with an AttributeError now fail with a TypeError instead. This looks like an improvement to me; e.g., test_coercion used to produce 559 TypeErrors and 2 AttributeErrors, and now they're all TypeErrors. The error details are more informative too, because the places calling this were *looking* for TypeErrors in order to replace the generic tuple() "not a sequence" msg with their own more specific text, and AttributeErrors snuck by that.
* Add TODO item about x in y -- this should use iterators too, IMO.Guido van Rossum2001-05-041-0/+1

* Added reminders to make some remaining functions iterator-friendly. FeelTim Peters2001-05-041-1/+3
| | | | free to do one!
* Generalize reduce() to work with iterators.Tim Peters2001-05-041-0/+1
| | | | NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
* Generalize map() to work with iterators.Tim Peters2001-05-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | NEEDS DOC CHANGES. Possibly contentious: The first time s.next() yields StopIteration (for a given map argument s) is the last time map() *tries* s.next(). That is, if other sequence args are longer, s will never again contribute anything but None values to the result, even if trying s.next() again could yield another result. This is the same behavior map() used to have wrt IndexError, so it's the only way to be wholly backward-compatible. I'm not a fan of letting StopIteration mean "try again later" anyway.
* Generalize max(seq) and min(seq) to work with iterators.Tim Peters2001-05-031-0/+2
| | | | NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
* Generalize filter(f, seq) to work with iterators. This also generalizesTim Peters2001-05-021-8/+9
| | | | | filter() to no longer insist that len(seq) be defined. NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
* Add more news about iterators.Guido van Rossum2001-05-011-0/+12
|
* Generalize list(seq) to work with iterators. This also generalizes list()Tim Peters2001-05-011-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | to no longer insist that len(seq) be defined. NEEDS DOC CHANGES. This is meant to be a model for how other functions of this ilk (max, filter, etc) can be generalized similarly. Feel encouraged to grab your favorite and convert it! Note some cute consequences: list(file) == file.readlines() == list(file.xreadlines()) list(dict) == dict.keys() list(dict.iteritems()) = dict.items() list(xrange(i, j, k)) == range(i, j, k)
* SF bug 418296: WinMain.c should use WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN.Tim Peters2001-04-241-0/+1
| | | | | I believe Kevin Rodgers here! The old WINDOWS_LEAN_AND_MEAN has, AFAICT, always been wrong.

* A small change to the C API for weakly-referencable types: Such typesFred Drake2001-03-221-0/+6
| | | | | | | | must now initialize the extra field used by the weak-ref machinery to NULL themselves, to avoid having to require PyObject_INIT() to check if the type supports weak references and do it there. This causes less work to be done for all objects (the type object does not need to be consulted to check for the Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_WEAKREFS bit).
