- Minor wording changes
- Changed the docs to reflect the fact that multiple option directives
can be specified on a single line (and updated the directive
production list, as well).
Renamed the new generator at Trevor's recommendation.
The name HardwareRandom suggested a bit more than it
delivered (no radioactive decay detectors or such).
- Dictionary keys are in arbitrary order, but not random (which implies, well,
intentional randomness).
- Move a footnote closer to what it's talking about so that it doesn't look
like we're saying that "0 == 0.0" can't be relied on.
- Minor language tweaks in the vicinity.
Thanks Dima Dorfman!
decoding incomplete input (when the input stream is temporarily exhausted).
codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper
readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read()
has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to
return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines()
have a new argument keepends. Trailing "\n"s will be stripped from the lines
if keepends is false. Added C APIs PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful and
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16Stateful.
* Discuss the algorithmic distinctions between s.split() and s.split(sep).
* Document the split behavior for empty strings.
* Note the behavior when maxsplit is zero.
* Include short examples.
in the new docs.
DocTestRunner.__run: Separate the determination of the example outcome
from reporting that outcome, to squash brittle code duplication and
excessive nesting.
this is the right way to document such things (Fred, help me out here :-),
but I got misled by the existing documentation and assumed the parameter
list was a *args sort of thing.
to unittest, so make it official: new module constants COMPARISON_FLAGS
and REPORTING_FLAGS, which are bitmasks or'ing together the relevant
individual option flags.
set_unittest_reportflags(): Reworked to use REPORTING_FLAGS, and
simplified overly complicated flag logic.
class FakeModule: Removed this; neither documented nor used.
