* 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.)

* SF bug #471720: ThreadingMixIn/TCPServer forgets closeGuido van Rossum2001-10-182-0/+4
| | | | | Solved with a helper method that calls finish_request() and then close_request(). The code is by Max Neunhöffer.
* 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.

* SF patch #467430.Guido van Rossum2001-10-171-0/+1

* Partial patch from SF #452266, by Jason Petrone.Guido van Rossum2001-10-161-0/+9
| | | | | | 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

| | | | | | | | | actual run of the profiler, instead of timing a simplified simulation of part of what the profiler does. It computes a constant about 60% higher on my Win98SE box than the old method, and the new constant appears much more realistic. Deleted the undocumented simple(), instrumented(), and profiler_simulation() methods (which existed only to support the previous calibration method).
* Remove code and docs for the OldProfile and HotProfile classes: codeTim Peters2001-10-071-0/+9

* SF patch [#466616] Exclude imported items from doctest,Tim Peters2001-10-021-0/+3
| | | | | | | from Tim Hochberg. Also mucho fiddling to change the way doctest determines whether a thing is a function, module or class. Under 2.2, this really requires the functions in inspect.py (e.g., types.ClassType is close to meaningless now, if not outright misleading).

* SF [#466125] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer.Tim Peters2001-09-302-0/+5
| | | | | | Generalize PyLong_AsLongLong to accept int arguments too. The real point is so that PyArg_ParseTuple's 'L' code does too. That code was undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.

* Make properties discoverable from Python:Tim Peters2001-09-241-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - property() now takes 4 keyword arguments: fget, fset, fdel, doc. Note that the real purpose of the 'f' prefix is to make fdel fit in ('del' is a keyword, so can't used as a keyword argument name). - These map to visible readonly attributes 'fget', 'fset', 'fdel', and '__doc__' in the property object. - fget/fset/fdel weren't discoverable from Python before. - __doc__ is new, and allows to associate a docstring with a property.
