Tim Peters 83e259a2c2 Another microburst of snail-like progress. 2004-08-13 21:55:21 +00:00
Tim Peters 41a65ea7fe Doctest has new traceback gimmicks in 2.4. While trying to document
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.

Tim Peters 2603960525 Markup fiddling. 2004-08-13 01:49:12 +00:00
Tim Peters 8a3b69ca8f Excruciatingly slow progress on the docs. Option flags / directive names
are documented now, and ripped out a bunch of "private name" convolutions.

Tim Peters feec4533e2 Bug 1003935: xrange overflows
Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function
is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing.

Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New().  This fixes a variety
of bogus errors.  Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now.

Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that
CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to
native C longs.

Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that
relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.

Andrew M. Kuchling 17e33e4c93 [Bug #914375] Crude modulefinder docs, but the module's code is very hard to read and it's not clear which bits are public and which aren't. The module's author should really be doing this (and using docstrings in the code, too) 2004-08-07 20:13:34 +00:00

Andrew M. Kuchling 8def876d36 [Bug #873146] Document pickletools module (haven't tested the LaTeX yet) 2004-08-07 16:53:59 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 049e7aaa0f Point out that the setdefault defaults the value to None. Inspired by
Michael Chermside's thinking about patch #748126 (the chief upshot of
which thinking was "reject it!").

Andrew M. Kuchling cbbee6fed5 [Bug #984952] Include more material from PEP 307.
I haven't tried to include all the material on old-style classes using protocols 0,1.  The details are lengthy; someone who knows
more about the pickle module should decide if they're important enough
to be in the docs or not.

Hye-Shik Chang e9ddfbb412 SF #989185: Drop unicode.iswide() and unicode.width() and add
unicodedata.east_asian_width().  You can still implement your own
simple width() function using it like this:
    def width(u):
        w = 0
        for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
            cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
            if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2
            else: w += 1
        return w
