* SF patch 568629 by Oren Tirosh: types made callable.Guido van Rossum2002-06-141-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These built-in functions are replaced by their (now callable) type: slice() buffer() and these types can also be called (but have no built-in named function named after them) classobj (type name used to be "class") code function instance instancemethod (type name used to be "instance method") The module "new" has been replaced with a small backward compatibility placeholder in Python. A large portion of the patch simply removes the new module from various platform-specific build recipes. The following binary Mac project files still have references to it: Mac/Build/PythonCore.mcp Mac/Build/PythonStandSmall.mcp Mac/Build/PythonStandalone.mcp [I've tweaked the code layout and the doc strings here and there, and added a comment to types.py about StringTypes vs. basestring. --Guido]
* This introduces stricter library/header file checking for the Berkeley DBSkip Montanaro2002-06-141-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | library. Since multiple versions can be installed simultaneously, it's crucial that you only select libraries and header files which are compatible with each other. Version checking is done from highest version to lowest. Building using version 1 of Berkeley DB is disabled by default because of the hash file bugs people keep rediscovering. It can be enabled by uncommenting a few lines in setup.py. Closes patch 553108.

* SF bug 567538: Generator can crash the interpreter (Finn Bock).Guido van Rossum2002-06-121-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | This was a simple typo. Strange that the compiler didn't catch it! Instead of WHY_CONTINUE, two tests used CONTINUE_LOOP, which isn't a why_code at all, but an opcode; but even though 'why' is declared as an enum, comparing it to an int is apparently not even worth a warning -- not in gcc, and not in VC++. :-( Will fix in 2.2 too.
* This is my nearly two year old patchMichael W. Hudson2002-06-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | [ 400998 ] experimental support for extended slicing on lists somewhat spruced up and better tested than it was when I wrote it. Includes docs & tests. The whatsnew section needs expanding, and arrays should support extended slices -- later.

| | | | | | | The WeakKeyDictionary constructor didn't work when a dict arg was given. Fixed by moving a line. Also adding a unit test. Bugfix candidate.

* Address SF bug 519621: slots weren't traversed by GC.Guido van Rossum2002-06-041-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | While I was at it, I added a tp_clear handler and changed the tp_dealloc handler to use the clear_slots helper for the tp_clear handler. Also tightened the rules for slot names: they must now be proper identifiers (ignoring the dirty little fact that <ctype.h> is locale sensitive). Also set mp->flags = READONLY for the __weakref__ pseudo-slot. Most of this is a 2.2 bugfix candidate; I'll apply it there myself.

* Fix SF bug #557436, TclError is a str should be an ExceptionNeal Norwitz2002-06-041-0/+4

* Add constants BOM_UTF8, BOM_UTF16, BOM_UTF16_LE, BOM_UTF16_BE,Walter Dörwald2002-06-041-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | BOM_UTF32, BOM_UTF32_LE and BOM_UTF32_BE that represent the Byte Order Mark in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings for little and big endian systems. The old names BOM32_* and BOM64_* were off by a factor of 2. This closes SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/555360
* Surprising fix for SF bug 563060: module can be used as base class.Guido van Rossum2002-06-041-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the module constructor (module_init) to have the signature __init__(name:str, doc=None); this prevents the call from type_new() to succeed. While we're at it, prevent repeated calling of module_init for the same module from leaking the dict, changing the semantics so that __dict__ is only initialized if NULL. Also adding a unittest, test_module.py. This is an incompatibility with 2.2, if anybody was instantiating the module class before, their argument list was probably empty; so this can't be backported to 2.2.x.

| | | | | | | | | | | and the .seed() and .whseed() methods failed to reset it. In other words, setting the seed didn't completely determine the sequence of results produced by random.gauss(). It does now. Programs repeatedly mixing calls to a seed method with calls to gauss() may see different results now. Bugfix candidate (random.gauss() has always been broken in this way), despite that it may change results.

* Mostly in SequenceMatcher.{__chain_b, find_longest_match}:Tim Peters2002-04-291-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently repeated as to constitute noise. The primary benefit is an enormous speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the sequences have many duplicate elements. In effect, this zooms in on sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now. While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider this experimental. Please give it a try!

* - New builtin function enumerate(x), from PEP 279. Example:Guido van Rossum2002-04-261-0/+4
| | | | | enumerate("abc") is an iterator returning (0,"a"), (1,"b"), (2,"c"). The argument can be an arbitrary iterable object.
* (py-comint-output-filter-function): Put the pop-to-buffer call insideBarry Warsaw2002-04-261-1/+1

* PyNumber_CoerceEx: this took a shortcut (not doing anything) when theGuido van Rossum2002-04-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | left and right type were of the same type and not classic instances. This shortcut is dangerous for proxy types, because it means that coerce(Proxy(1), Proxy(2.1)) leaves Proxy(1) unchanged rather than turning it into Proxy(1.0). In an ever-so-slight change of semantics, I now only take the shortcut when the left and right types are of the same type and don't have the CHECKTYPES feature. It so happens that classic instances have this flag, so the shortcut is still skipped in this case (i.e. nothing changes for classic instances). Proxies also have this flag set (otherwise implementing numeric operations on proxies would become nightmarish) and this means that the shortcut is also skipped there, as desired. It so happens that int, long and float also have this flag set; that means that e.g. coerce(1, 1) will now invoke int_coerce(). This is fine: int_coerce() can deal with this, and I'm not worried about the performance; int_coerce() is only invoked when the user explicitly calls coerce(), which should be rarer than rare.
