Guido van Rossum 9074ef6081 Add fix for getattr(obj, name, default). Rearrange a few things. 2001-10-16 21:34:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3c28863e08 Partial patch from SF #452266, by Jason Petrone.
This changes Pythread_start_thread() to return the thread ID, or -1
for an error.  (It's technically an incompatible API change, but I
doubt anyone calls it.)

Guido van Rossum 3eea25c3fa Reword the text on the demise of __dynamic__ somewhat, correcting a
typo.

Guido van Rossum 687ae00460 Get rid of __defined__ and tp_defined -- there's no need to
distinguish __dict__ and __defined__ any more.  In the C structure,
tp_cache takes its place -- but this hasn't been implemented yet.

Guido van Rossum 9abaf4d3b7 SF patch #467455 : Enhanced environment variables, by Toby Dickenson.
This patch changes to logic to:

   if env.var. set and non-empty:
       if env.var. is an integer:
           set flag to that integer
   if flag is zero: # [actually, <= 0 --GvR]
       set flag to 1

   Under this patch, anyone currently using
   PYTHONVERBOSE=yes will get the same output as before.

   PYTHONVERBNOSE=2 will generate more verbosity than
   before.

   The only unusual case that the following three are
   still all equivalent:
   PYTHONVERBOSE=yespleas
   PYTHONVERBOSE=1
   PYTHONVERBOSE=0

Tim Peters 04cf1d31d9 Add item about new "Edit with IDLE" menu entry created by Windows installer. 2001-10-09 22:39:40 +00:00
Tim Peters 659a60311d Allow the profiler's calibration constant to be specified in the constructor
call, or via setting an instance or class vrbl.
Rewrote the calibration docs.
Modern boxes are so friggin' fast, and a profiler event does so much work
anyway, that the cost of looking up an instance vrbl (the bias constant)
per profile event just isn't a big deal.

Martin v. Löwis 454d791c91 Add Cesar Eduardo Barros, for asyncore patches. 2001-10-09 11:53:47 +00:00
Tim Peters cce092d046 A brand new implementation of Profile.calibrate(). This measures an
actual run of the profiler, instead of timing a simplified simulation of
part of what the profiler does.  It computes a constant about 60% higher
on my Win98SE box than the old method, and the new constant appears much
more realistic.  Deleted the undocumented simple(), instrumented(), and
profiler_simulation() methods (which existed only to support the previous
calibration method).

Tim Peters 0a1fc4e389 Remove code and docs for the OldProfile and HotProfile classes: code
hasn't worked in years, docs were wrong, and they aren't interesting
anymore regardless.

Tim Peters 7402f791a4 SF patch [#466616] Exclude imported items from doctest,
from Tim Hochberg.  Also mucho fiddling to change the way doctest
determines whether a thing is a function, module or class.  Under 2.2,
this really requires the functions in inspect.py (e.g., types.ClassType
is close to meaningless now, if not outright misleading).

Tim Peters d38b1c74f3 SF [#466125] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer.
Generalize PyLong_AsLongLong to accept int arguments too.  The real point
is so that PyArg_ParseTuple's 'L' code does too.  That code was
undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.

Tim Peters 66c1a525e0 Make properties discoverable from Python:
- property() now takes 4 keyword arguments:  fget, fset, fdel, doc.
  Note that the real purpose of the 'f' prefix is to make fdel fit in
  ('del' is a keyword, so can't used as a keyword argument name).

- These map to visible readonly attributes 'fget', 'fset', 'fdel',
  and '__doc__' in the property object.

- fget/fset/fdel weren't discoverable from Python before.

- __doc__ is new, and allows to associate a docstring with a property.
