Update the "in" / "not in" description to accomodate the current use
of the __contains__() discipline. This patch also incorporates
suggestions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, minor markup
revisions from Fred Drake, and some rewording of the first affected
paragraph (also from Fred).
Closes SourceForge patch #100831.
used for indentation related errors. This patch includes Ping's
improvements for indentation-related error messages.
Closes SourceForge patches #100734 and #100856.
elements (since the table was pretty screwed up); this is how it is done
elsewhere in the manual.
I could use some help creating descriptions of the specific error
identifiers (input conditions that lead to each error, etc.).
The Compare close contains a close method that checks to see if there
is any unconsumed data in the Compare instance; i.e. if the canonical
output file contains more data than was produced by the current test
run. This method was never called, allowing differences to go
undetected.
Fix is to call close after the test is run (after __import__)
output/test_long and output/test_popen2 needed trivial changes
output/test_select contained lots of text, but test_select.py produced
no output
seqlen==1 clause, before returning item, we need to DECREF seq. In
the res=PyString... failure clause, we need to goto finally to also
decref seq (and the DECREF of res in finally is changed to a
XDECREF). Also, we need to DECREF seq just before the
PyUnicode_Join() return.
about int size mismatches at two calls to s_rand. Stuffed in
casts to make the code do what it did before but w/o warnings --
although unclear that's correct!
implementation -- use PySequence_Fast interface to iterate over elements
interface -- if instance object reports wrong length, ignore it;
previous version raised an IndexError if reported length was too high
value is calculated from the character values, in a way
that makes sure an 8-bit ASCII string and a unicode string
with the same contents get the same hash value.
(as a side effect, this also works for ISO Latin 1 strings).

a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call. Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.
This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed. Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.
I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.
Documentation for the new entry points included.
There is a silly bug in the fall-back dumbdbm.py database package in
the Python 1.5.2 standard distro. This bug causes any changes to an
existing item to generate a new key, even when the key already
exists. After many updates, the .dir file used by dumbdbm grows to
a huge size, and can cause filesystem problems.
an attribute value was not escaped, you could get two syntax errors:
one about a missing semicolon and one about an unknown entity. Now
you get only one about a bogus ampersand.
