* Apparently FreeBSD enables some HW floating-point exceptions by default.Tim Peters2002-12-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | This can cause core dumps when Python runs. Python relies on the 754- (and C99-) mandated default "non-stop" mode for FP exceptions. This patch from Ben Laurie disables at least one FP exception on FreeBSD at Python startup time.

| | | | | | | | [ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.

* Fixed bugGustavo Niemeyer2002-12-161-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling * Objects/fileobject.c (file_read): Clear errors before leaving the loop in all situations, and also check if some data was read before exiting the loop with an EWOULDBLOCK exception. * Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex * Objects/fileobject.c Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode. * Misc/NEWS Document the fix.
* Use "dictionary literals" instead of "dictionaries", as suggested by Just.Gustavo Niemeyer2002-12-161-3/+3

* Applying patchGustavo Niemeyer2002-12-161-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [#636769] Fix for major rexec bugs * Lib/rexec.py (FileBase): Added 'xreadlines' and '__iter__' to allowed file methods. (FileWrapper.__init__): Removed unnecessary self.f variable, which gave direct access to the file object. (RExec): Added 'xreadlines' and '_weakref' to allowed modules. (RExec.r_open): Convert string subclasses to a real string classes before doing comparisons with mode parameter. * Lib/ihooks.py (BasicModuleImporter.import_module/reload/unload): Convert the module name to a real string before working with it. (ModuleImporter.import_module/import_it/reload): Convert the module name to a real strings before working with it. * Misc/NEWS Document the change.

|
* Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple isWalter Dörwald2002-12-121-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(), this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e. any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a TypeError. This closes SF patch #649608.
* Docs were added about a month agoRaymond Hettinger2002-12-091-2/+1
|
* Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situationsSkip Montanaro2002-12-081-0/+4
| | | | | | | | this can result in significantly smaller files. All classes as well as the open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to False for backward compatibility. Added a small test suite, updated the libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.
