mode attribute of the file object (if it has one), otherwise
use 'rb'.
The documentation should still show this as required until
there's a new release.
ExtensionClasses in isinstance() and issubclass().
- abstract instance and class protocols are used *only* in those
cases that would generate errors before the patch. That is, there's
no penalty for the normal case.
- instance protocol: an object smells like an instance if it
has a __class__ attribute that smells like a class.
- class protocol: an object smells like a class if it has a
__bases__ attribute that is a tuple with elements that
smell like classes (although not all elements may actually get
sniffed ;).
Added support for unseekable files.
(I use unqualified excepts since we don't know why the seek/tell might
fail. In my case it was because of an AttributeError.)
Problem: rfc822.py in 1.5.2 final loses the quotes around
quoted local-part names.
The fix is to preserve the quotes around a local-part
name in an address.
Test:
import rfc822
a = rfc822.AddrlistClass('(Comment stuff) "Quoted
name"@somewhere.com')
a.getaddrlist()
The correct result is:
[('Comment stuff', '"Quoted name"@somewhere.com')]
- Don't call Py_FatalError() when initialization fails.
- Fix bogus use of return value from PyRun_String().
- Fix misc. compiler errors on some platforms.
EditorWindow.py:
+ Added get_tabwidth & set_tabwidth "virtual text" methods, that get/set the
widget's view of what a tab means.
+ Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT here from AutoIndent.
+ Renamed Mark's get_selection_index to get_selection_indices (sorry, Mark,
but the name was plain wrong <wink>).
FormatParagraph.py: renamed use of get_selection_index.
AutoIndent.py:
+ Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT to EditorWindow.
+ Rewrote set_indentation_params to use new VTW get/set_tabwidth methods.
+ Changed smart_backspace_event to delete whitespace back to closest
preceding virtual tab stop or real character (note that this may require
inserting characters if backspacing over a tab!).
+ Nuked almost references to the selection tag, in favor of using
get_selection_indices. The sole exception is in set_region, for which no
"set_selection" abstraction has yet been agreed upon.
+ Had too much fun using the spiffy new features of the format-paragraph
cmd.
- Revise abstract based on Guido's comments from way back.
- Point out that LaTeX is a structured system & we're using it that
way.
- Add a small section on marking up code examples.
this functionality is not present (e.g. when used with a vintage
Python 1.5.2 installation) top-level functions are not listed.
(Hmm... Any distribution of IDLE 0.5 should probably include a copy
of the new pyclbr.py!)
Hammond: record top-level functions (as Function instances, a simple
subclass of Class). You must use the new interface readmodule_ex() to
get these, though.
