SyntaxError.
This is probably not the proper solution to this failing test, but removing the
test itself causes 19 other tests to fail for some odd reason because doctest
doesn't expect a complete traceback (or something; rather odd problem for just
removing a single test).
use __eq__ instead of __cmp__. The other change is unexplained:
with a random hash code as before, it would run forever; with a constant
hash code, it fails quickly.
This found a refcount bug in dict_equal() -- I wonder if that bug is
also present in 2.5...
I mea, *really* equal -- for now, the implementation just imports
itertools. :-)
The only other changes necessary were various unit tests that were
assuming zip() returns a real list. No "real" code made this assumption.
This essentially meant fixing one case where a list of custom objects
was being sorted, and fixing one genuine bug where a method call was
missing parentheses.
in the stdlib and changed each of them to use "open" instead. At this
time there are no other known occurrences that can be safely changed (in
Lib and all subdirectories thereof).
*ordering* between objects; there is only a default equality test
(defined by an object being equal to itself only). Read the comment
in object.c. The current implementation never uses a three-way
comparison to compute a rich comparison, but it does use a rich
comparison to compute a three-way comparison. I'm not quite done
ripping out all the calls to PyObject_Compare/Cmp, or replacing
tp_compare implementations with tp_richcompare implementations;
but much of that has happened (to make most unit tests pass).
The following tests still fail, because I need help deciding
or understanding:
test_codeop -- depends on comparing code objects
test_datetime -- need Tim Peters' opinion
test_marshal -- depends on comparing code objects
test_mutants -- need help understanding it
The problem with test_codeop and test_marshal is this: these tests
compare two different code objects and expect them to be equal.
Is that still a feature we'd like to support? I've temporarily
removed the comparison and hash code from code objects, so they
use the default (equality by pointer only) comparison.
For the other two tests, run them to see for yourself.
(There may be more failing test with "-u all".)
A general problem with getting lots of these tests to pass is
the reality that for object types that have a natural total ordering,
implementing __cmp__ is much more convenient than implementing
__eq__, __ne__, __lt__, and so on. Should we go back to allowing
__cmp__ to provide a total ordering? Should we provide some other
way to implement rich comparison with a single method override?
Alex proposed a __key__() method; I've considered a __richcmp__()
method. Or perhaps __cmp__() just shouldn't be killed off...
OverflowError while x*x succeeds and produces infinity; apparently
these inconsistencies cannot be fixed across ``all'' platforms and
there's a widespread feeling that therefore ``every'' platform
should keep suffering forevermore. Ah well.
Small: Always generate a NL or NEWLINE token following
a COMMENT token. The old code did not generate an NL token if
the comment was on a line by itself.
Large: The output of untokenize() will now match the
input exactly if it is passed the full token sequence. The
old, crufty output is still generated if a limited input
sequence is provided, where limited means that it does not
include position information for tokens.
Remaining bug: There is no CONTINUATION token (\) so there is no way
for untokenize() to handle such code.
Also, expanded the number of doctests in hopes of eventually removing
the old-style tests that compare against a golden file.
Bug fix candidate for Python 2.5.1. (Sigh.)
inf) but didn't; added a test to test_float to verify that, and ignored the
ERANGE value for errno in the pow operation to make the new test pass (with
help from Marilyn Davis at the Google Python Sprint -- thanks!).
