This patch includes test cases and documentation updates, as well as NEWS file
updates.
This patch also updates the sre modules so that they don't import the string
module, breaking direct circular imports.
happen in 2.3, but nobody noticed it still was getting generated (the
warning was disabled by default). OverflowWarning and
PyExc_OverflowWarning should be removed for 2.5, and left notes all over
saying so.
in this section is new in 2.4, and that's all mentioned already in
versionadded{} thingies at the end of the section. It hurts readability
to have them after every line <wink>.
The make_head_and_body() function used a hardcoded value for the
<link> element for the index; this patch causes the proper output
filename to be captured during the transformation phase so it can be
used during the page assembly phase.
[ 1009560 ] Fix @decorator evaluation order
From the description:
Changes in this patch:
- Change Grammar/Grammar to require
newlines between adjacent decorators.
- Fix order of evaluation of decorators
in the C (compile.c) and python
(Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py) compilers
- Add better order of evaluation check
to test_decorators.py (test_eval_order)
- Update the decorator documentation in
the reference manual (improve description
of evaluation order and update syntax
description)
and the comment:
Used Brett's evaluation order (see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/047835.html)
(I'm checking this in for Anthony who was having problems getting SF to
talk to him)
Document a nuance of super(). It is designed to work well with dotted
attribute lookup but not with equivalent implicit lookups using operators
or statements.
* Expand the example to show a join.
* Mention the use case of I/O running concurrent with a computational
thread.
* Be a tad more forceful about recommending Queue over other approaches
to synchonization.
* Eliminate discussion around having a single interpreter. This is a
more advanced discussion that belongs in the library reference and
in a section on extending and embedding.
* Discuss representation error versus loss of significance.
* Document special values including qNaN, sNaN, +0, -0.
* Show the suprising display of non-normalized zero values.
them (which they are now), I had to rewrite the code to understand
it. This has got to be the most DWIM part of doctest -- but in context
is really necessary.
