| | | | | | | | | LettError, Erik van Blokland, http://www.letterror.com/ the Python Windows installer finally has an attractive Pythonic bitmap to delight the senses and dampen the fears of the millions and millions of eager new Windows users anticipating their first Python programming joy. Always knew Mac users secretly wanted to switch to Windows <wink>.

* Added q/Q standard (x-platform 8-byte ints) mode in struct module.Tim Peters2001-06-121-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This completes the q/Q project. longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray: The original code had a gross bug: the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign bit it has else spurious overflow errors result. test_struct.py: This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative. NEWS: Added brief dict news while I was at it.
* Initial support for 'q' and 'Q' struct format codes: for now, only inTim Peters2001-06-101-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG. Standard mode will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own; I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8). test_struct.py: In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests, got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes). libstruct.tex: In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior.
* SF bug 430991: wrong co_lnotabTim Peters2001-06-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | Armin Rigo pointed out that the way the line-# table got built didn't work for lines generating more than 255 bytes of bytecode. Fixed as he suggested, plus corresponding changes to pyassem.py, plus added some long overdue docs about this subtle table to compile.c. Bugfix candidate (line numbers may be off in tracebacks under -O).

* Separate CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS. CFLAGS should not contain preprocessorNeil Schemenauer2001-06-021-2/+3
| | | | directives, which is the role of CPPFLAGS. Closes SF patch #414991.
* New collision resolution scheme: no polynomials, simpler, faster, lessTim Peters2001-06-021-8/+6
| | | | | | | code, less memory. Tests have uncovered no drawbacks. Christian and Vladimir are the other two people who have burned many brain cells on the dict code in recent years, and they like the approach too, so I'm checking it in without further ado.
* Cruft cleanup: Removed the unused last_is_sticky argument from the internalTim Peters2001-05-281-0/+6
| | | | _PyTuple_Resize().
* Implement an old idea of Christian Tismer's: use polynomial divisionTim Peters2001-05-271-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | instead of multiplication to generate the probe sequence. The idea is recorded in Python-Dev for Dec 2000, but that version is prone to rare infinite loops. The value is in getting *all* the bits of the hash code to participate; and, e.g., this speeds up querying every key in a dict with keys [i << 16 for i in range(20000)] by a factor of 500. Should be equally valuable in any bad case where the high-order hash bits were getting ignored. Also wrote up some of the motivations behind Python's ever-more-subtle hash table strategy.
* Change list.extend() error msgs and NEWS to reflect that list.extend()Tim Peters2001-05-261-1/+2
| | | | | | | now takes any iterable argument, not only sequences. NEEDS DOC CHANGES -- but I don't think we settled on a concise way to say this stuff.
