* SF bug #130306: statcache.py full of thread problems.Tim Peters2001-01-281-0/+1
| | | | Fixed the thread races. Function forget_dir was also utterly Unix-specific.
* SF bug http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=130242&group_id=5470Tim Peters2001-01-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | SF patch http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103453&group_id=5470 PyMember_Set of T_CHAR always raises exception. Unfortunately, this is a use of a C API function that Python itself never makes, so there's no .py test I can check in to verify this stays fixed. But the fault in the code is obvious, and Dave Cole's patch just as obviously fixes it.

* Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initializationTim Peters2001-01-251-5/+10
| | | | | | | got broken). Also added new method .jumpahead(N). This finally gives us a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new machinery!).
* Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all theTim Peters2001-01-251-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | functionality of, whrandom.py. Also closes all the "XXX" todos in random.py. New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and setstate(). All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden instance. Killed all unintended exports. Updated the docs. FRED: The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags. Please review critically. GUIDO: See email. I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I think it should be.

| | | | | | ctime, gmtime and localtime optional, defaulting to 'the current time' in all cases. Adjust docs, add news item. Also convert all argument-handling to METH_VARARGS. Closes SF patch #103265.

* - Add note about complex numbers.Guido van Rossum2001-01-181-9/+16
| | | | | | - Changed description of rich comparisons to emphasize that < and > (etc.) are each other's reflection. Also use this word in the note about the demise of __rcmp__.
* Variant of SF patch 103252: Startup optimize: read *.pyc as string, not with ↵Tim Peters2001-01-181-0/+1

* This patch adds a new builtin unistr() which behaves like str()Marc-André Lemburg2001-01-171-0/+8

* News item for rich comparisons.Guido van Rossum2001-01-171-0/+43
| | | | | (I'm going to check in some more uses of rich comparisons, but the basic feature should be in place now.)

* Fred, THIS NEEDS DOCS! The function docstrings tell the tale.Tim Peters2000-12-291-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Christmas present to myself: the bisect module didn't define what happened if the new element was already in the list. It so happens that it inserted the new element "to the right" of all equal elements. Since it wasn't defined, among other bad implications it was a mystery how to use bisect to determine whether an element was already in the list (I've seen code that *assumed* "to the right" without justification). Added new methods bisect_left and insort_left that insert "to the left" instead; made the old names bisect and insort aliases for the new names bisect_right and insort_right; beefed up docstrings to explain what these actually do; and added a std test for the bisect module.

* Made the description of %[udxXo] formats of negative longs in 2.1 more accurate.Tim Peters2000-12-011-2/+12
