* SF bug #474077 2.2b1: Error compiling extns with BCCTim Peters2001-10-301-0/+1
| | | | | | Removed "#undef HAVE_HYPOT" line from Borland config, as suggested. Whether this will break some other Borland usage is a good question I can't answer.

* Add __del__ callbacks. They are too useful to leave out.Guido van Rossum2001-10-291-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XXX Remaining problems: - The GC module doesn't know about these; I think it has its reasons to disallow calling __del__, but for now, __del__ on new-style objects is called when the GC module discards an object, for better or for worse. - The code to call a __del__ handler is really ridiculously complicated, due to all the different debug #ifdefs. I've copied this from the similar code in classobject.c, so I'm pretty sure I did it right, but it's not pretty. :-( - No tests yet.

* Generalize dictionary() to accept a sequence of 2-sequences. At theTim Peters2001-10-261-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | outer level, the iterator protocol is used for memory-efficiency (the outer sequence may be very large if fully materialized); at the inner level, PySequence_Fast() is used for time-efficiency (these should always be sequences of length 2). dictobject.c, new functions PyDict_{Merge,Update}FromSeq2. These are wholly analogous to PyDict_{Merge,Update}, but process a sequence-of-2- sequences argument instead of a mapping object. For now, I left these functions file static, so no corresponding doc changes. It's tempting to change dict.update() to allow a sequence-of-2-seqs argument too. Also changed the name of dictionary's keyword argument from "mapping" to "x". Got a better name? "mapping_or_sequence_of_pairs" isn't attractive, although more so than "mosop" <wink>. abstract.h, abstract.tex: Added new PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE function, much faster than going thru the all-purpose PySequence_Size. libfuncs.tex: - Document dictionary(). - Fiddle tuple() and list() to admit that their argument is optional. - The long-winded repetitions of "a sequence, a container that supports iteration, or an iterator object" is getting to be a PITA. Many months ago I suggested factoring this out into "iterable object", where the definition of that could include being explicit about generators too (as is, I'm not sure a reader outside of PythonLabs could guess that "an iterator object" includes a generator call). - Please check my curly braces -- I'm going blind <0.9 wink>. abstract.c, PySequence_Tuple(): When PyObject_GetIter() fails, leave its error msg alone now (the msg it produces has improved since PySequence_Tuple was generalized to accept iterable objects, and PySequence_Tuple was also stomping on the msg in cases it shouldn't have even before PyObject_GetIter grew a better msg).

* Fix SF bug #474538: Memory (reference) leak in poller.register (Dave Brueck)Guido van Rossum2001-10-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | Replace some tortuous code that was trying to be clever but forgot to DECREF the key and value, by more longwinded but obviously correct code. (Inspired by but not copying the fix from SF patch #475033.)

* SF patch #474175 (Jay T Miller): file.readinto arg parsing bugGuido van Rossum2001-10-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The C-code in fileobject.readinto(buffer) which parses the arguments assumes that size_t is interchangeable with int: size_t ntodo, ndone, nnow; if (f->f_fp == NULL) return err_closed(); if (!PyArg_Parse(args, "w#", &ptr, &ntodo)) return NULL; This causes a problem on Alpha / Tru64 / OSF1 v5.1 where size_t is a long and sizeof(long) != sizeof(int). The patch I'm proposing declares ntodo as an int. An alternative might be to redefine w# to expect size_t. [We can't change w# because there are probably third party modules relying on it. GvR]

* Methods of built-in types now properly check for keyword argumentsGuido van Rossum2001-10-221-0/+4

* Patch from SF bug #473150: configure weaknesses on HP-UX (Michael Piotrowski)Guido van Rossum2001-10-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | 1. configure doesn't handle HP-UX release numbers (e.g., B.11.00), resulting in MACHDEP = "hpuxB". 2. After checking for wchar.h, configure doesn't include it when checking the size of wchar_t. (Python 2.2b1 on HP-UX 11.00)

* SF patch #460805 by Chris Gonnerman: Support for unsetenv()Guido van Rossum2001-10-191-8/+9
| | | | | | | | This adds unsetenv to posix, and uses it in the __delitem__ method of os.environ. (XXX Should we change the preferred name for putenv to setenv, for consistency?)
* SF patch #462296: Add attributes to os.stat results; by Nick Mathewson.Guido van Rossum2001-10-181-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a big one, touching lots of files. Some of the platforms aren't tested yet. Briefly, this changes the return value of the os/posix functions stat(), fstat(), statvfs(), fstatvfs(), and the time functions localtime(), gmtime(), and strptime() from tuples into pseudo-sequences. When accessed as a sequence, they behave exactly as before. But they also have attributes like st_mtime or tm_year. The stat return value, moreover, has a few platform-specific attributes that are not available through the sequence interface (because everybody expects the sequence to have a fixed length, these couldn't be added there). If your platform's struct stat doesn't define st_blksize, st_blocks or st_rdev, they won't be accessible from Python either. (Still missing is a documentation update.)

* Fix SF bug #472234: type(obj) calls type->tp_init (Roeland Rengelink)Guido van Rossum2001-10-181-0/+1
| | | | | The fix is a band-aid: type_call() now makes the same exception for a single-argument call to type() as type_new() was already making.

| | | | | | This changes Pythread_start_thread() to return the thread ID, or -1 for an error. (It's technically an incompatible API change, but I doubt anyone calls it.)

* SF patch #467455 : Enhanced environment variables, by Toby Dickenson.Guido van Rossum2001-10-121-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes to logic to: if env.var. set and non-empty: if env.var. is an integer: set flag to that integer if flag is zero: # [actually, <= 0 --GvR] set flag to 1 Under this patch, anyone currently using PYTHONVERBOSE=yes will get the same output as before. PYTHONVERBNOSE=2 will generate more verbosity than before. The only unusual case that the following three are still all equivalent: PYTHONVERBOSE=yespleas PYTHONVERBOSE=1 PYTHONVERBOSE=0
