* Patch #512981: Update readline input stream on sys.stdin/out change.Martin v. Löwis2002-10-261-3/+5
|
* execfile should call PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename instead ofPeter Schneider-Kamp2002-08-271-1/+1
| | | | | | simply PyErr_SetFromErrno This closes bug 599163.
* A nice little speed-up for filter():Guido van Rossum2002-08-161-13/+17
| | | | | | | | | | - Use PyObject_Call() instead of PyEval_CallObject(), saves several layers of calls and checks. - Pre-allocate the argument tuple rather than calling Py_BuildValue() each time round the loop. - For filter(None, seq), avoid an INCREF and a DECREF.
* Patch #550192: Set softspace to 0 in raw_input().Martin v. Löwis2002-08-141-18/+22

* Add C API PyUnicode_FromOrdinal() which exposes unichr() at C level.Marc-André Lemburg2002-08-111-34/+1
| | | | | | | u'%c' will now raise a ValueError in case the argument is an integer outside the valid range of Unicode code point ordinals. Closes SF bug #593581.
* Patch #569753: Remove support for WIN16.Martin v. Löwis2002-06-301-1/+1
| | | | Rename all occurrences of MS_WIN32 to MS_WINDOWS.
* SF patch 568629 by Oren Tirosh: types made callable.Guido van Rossum2002-06-141-48/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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]
* Patch #568124: Add doc string macros.Martin v. Löwis2002-06-131-92/+92
|
* Skip Montanaro's patch, SF 559833, exposing xrange type in builtins.Raymond Hettinger2002-06-051-43/+1
| | | | | Also, added more regression tests to cover the new type and test its conformity with range().
* Change name from string to basestringNeal Norwitz2002-05-311-1/+1
|
* - A new type object, 'string', is added. This is a common base typeGuido van Rossum2002-05-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | for 'str' and 'unicode', and can be used instead of types.StringTypes, e.g. to test whether something is "a string": isinstance(x, string) is True for Unicode and 8-bit strings. This is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated directly.
* SF bug 555042: zip() may trigger MemoryError.Tim Peters2002-05-121-2/+7
| | | | | NOT a bugfix candidate: this is a fix to an optimization introduced in 2.3.
* builtin_zip(): Take a good guess at how big the result list will be,Tim Peters2002-04-291-15/+42
| | | | | | | and allocate it in one gulp. This isn't a bugfix, it's just a minor optimization that may or may not pay off.
* Repair widespread misuse of _PyString_Resize. Since it's clear peopleTim Peters2002-04-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs. The most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos): if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) { Py_DECREF(s); s = NULL; goto outtahere; } The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL. So if the "if" branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s): s is already NULL! A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended) if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) goto outtahere; Bugfix candidate.
* - New builtin function enumerate(x), from PEP 279. Example:Guido van Rossum2002-04-261-0/+1
| | | | | enumerate("abc") is an iterator returning (0,"a"), (1,"b"), (2,"c"). The argument can be an arbitrary iterable object.
* Mass checkin of universal newline support.Jack Jansen2002-04-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Highlights: import and friends will understand any of \r, \n and \r\n as end of line. Python file input will do the same if you use mode 'U'. Everything can be disabled by configuring with --without-universal-newlines. See PEP278 for details.
* Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described inGuido van Rossum2002-04-031-8/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True. (The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y) style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those places where a bool is expected. Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library modules to return False/True from predicates.
* Patch #494045: patches errno and stat to cope on plan9.Martin v. Löwis2002-03-091-15/+27
|
* Docstring for filter(): Someone on the Tutor list reasonably complainedTim Peters2002-03-091-5/+5
| | | | | that it didn't tell enough of the truth. Bugfix candidate (I guess -- it helps and it's harmless).
* Include <unistd.h> in Python.h. Fixes #500924.Martin v. Löwis2002-01-121-4/+0

* Fix for SF bug [ #492403 ] exec() segfaults on closure's func_codeJeremy Hylton2001-12-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Based on the patch from Danny Yoo. The fix is in exec_statement() in ceval.c. There are also changes to introduce use of PyCode_GetNumFree() in several places.
* Use PyOS_snprintf instead of sprintf.Jeremy Hylton2001-11-281-1/+1

|
* SF patch #471852 (anonymous) notes that getattr(obj, name, default)Guido van Rossum2001-10-161-1/+3

* Implement isinstance(x, (A, B, ...)). Note that we only allow tuples,Guido van Rossum2001-10-071-2/+4
| | | | | not other sequences (then we'd have to except strings, and we'd still be susceptible to recursive attacks).
* Get rid of builtin_open() entirely (the C code and docstring, not theTim Peters2001-09-131-20/+3
| | | | | builtin function); Guido pointed out that it could be just another name in the __builtin__ dict for the file constructor now.

|
* SF bug [#460467] file objects should be subclassable.Tim Peters2001-09-131-22/+13
| | | | Preliminary support. What's here works, but needs fine-tuning.

|
* builtin_execfile(): initialize another local that the GCC on leroyGuido van Rossum2001-09-051-1/+1

* At Guido's suggestion, here's a new C API function, PyObject_Dir(), likeTim Peters2001-09-041-137/+1
| | | | __builtin__.dir(). Moved the guts from bltinmodule.c to object.c.
* builtin_dir(): Treat classic classes like types. Use PyDict_Keys insteadTim Peters2001-09-041-17/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | of PyMapping_Keys because we know we have a real dict. Tolerate that objects may have an attr named "__dict__" that's not a dict (Py_None popped up during testing). test_descr.py, test_dir(): Test the new classic-class behavior; beef up the new-style class test similarly. test_pyclbr.py, checkModule(): dir(C) is no longer a synonym for C.__dict__.keys() when C is a classic class (looks like the same thing that burned distutils! -- should it be *made* a synoym again? Then it would be inconsistent with new-style class behavior.).
* Make dir() wordier (see the new docstring). The new behavior is a mixedTim Peters2001-09-031-53/+134
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bag. It's clearly wrong for classic classes, at heart because a classic class doesn't have a __class__ attribute, and I'm unclear on whether that's feature or bug. I'll repair this once I find out (in the meantime, dir() applied to classic classes won't find the base classes, while dir() applied to a classic-class instance *will* find the base classes but not *their* base classes). Please give the new dir() a try and see whether you love it or hate it. The new dir([]) behavior is something I could come to love. Here's something to hate: >>> class C: ... pass ... >>> c = C() >>> dir(c) ['__doc__', '__module__'] >>> The idea that an instance has a __doc__ attribute is jarring (of course it's really c.__class__.__doc__ == C.__doc__; likewise for __module__). OTOH, the code already has too many special cases, and dir(x) doesn't have a compelling or clear purpose when x isn't a module.
* Add 'super' builtin type.Guido van Rossum2001-08-241-0/+3
|
* Add new built-in type 'getset' (PyGetSet_Type).Guido van Rossum2001-08-231-0/+3
| | | | This implements the 'getset' class from test_binop.py.
* Fix for bug [#452230] future division isn't propagated.Tim Peters2001-08-171-1/+8
| | | | | | | builtin_eval wasn't merging in the compiler flags from the current frame; I suppose we never noticed this before because future division is the first future-feature that can affect expressions (nested_scopes and generators had only statement-level effects).
* A fiddled version of the rest of Michael Hudson's SF patchTim Peters2001-08-171-8/+26
| | | | | #449043 supporting __future__ in simulated shells which implements PEP 264.
* Patch #445762: Support --disable-unicodeMartin v. Löwis2001-08-171-0/+12
| | | | | | | | - Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled - check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions - disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions - add the types.StringTypes list - remove Unicode literals from most tests.

* Repair the Windows build (S_ISDIR() macro doesn't exist).Tim Peters2001-08-081-1/+1
| | | | | Somebody else should feel free to repair this a different way; see Python- Dev for discussion.

* Do for hasattr() what was done for getattr()Jeremy Hylton2001-07-301-0/+11
| | | | | Namely, an exception is raised if the second arg to hasattr() is not a string or Unicode.
* Fix for SF byg [ #420304 ] getattr function w/ defaultJeremy Hylton2001-07-301-0/+11
| | | | | | | Fix suggested by Michael Hudson: Raise TypeError if attribute name passed to getattr() is not a string or Unicode. There is some unfortunate duplication of code between builtin_getattr() and PyObject_GetAttr(), but it appears to be unavoidable.
* Fix for SF bug [ #443866 ] Evaluating func_code causing core dumpJeremy Hylton2001-07-301-1/+7
| | | | If the code object has free variables, raise TypeError.

* Part way to allowing "from __future__ import generators" to communicateTim Peters2001-07-161-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | that info to code dynamically compiled *by* code compiled with generators enabled. Doesn't yet work because there's still no way to tell the parser that "yield" is OK (unlike nested_scopes, the parser has its fingers in this too). Replaced PyEval_GetNestedScopes by a more-general PyEval_MergeCompilerFlags. Perhaps I should not have? I doubted it was *intended* to be part of the public API, so just did.
