the complex_pow part), r56649, r56652, r56715, r57296, r57302, r57359, r57361,
r57372, r57738, r57739, r58017, r58039, r58040, and r59390, and new
documentation. The only significant difference is that round(x) returns a float
to preserve backward-compatibility. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1689.
r58207 and r58247 patch logic is reversed. I noticed this when I
tried to use urllib to retrieve a file which required auth.
Fix that and add a test for 401 error to verify.
Also fix the test by having the test classes inherit from object.
Are the getter/setter/deleter attributes supposed to be able to chain? As of
right now they can't as the property tries to call what the property returns,
which is another property when they are chained.
This changes the rules for when __hash__ is inherited slightly,
by allowing it to be inherited when one or more of __lt__, __le__,
__gt__, __ge__ are overridden, as long as __eq__ and __ne__ aren't.
This adds signal.set_wakeup_fd(fd) which sets a file descriptor to
which a zero byte will be written whenever a C exception handler runs.
I added a simple C API as well, PySignal_SetWakeupFd(fd).
Issue #1580: New free format floating point representation based on "Floating-Point Printer Sample Code", by Robert G. Burger. For example repr(11./5) now returns '2.2' instead of '2.2000000000000002'.
Thanks to noam for the patch! I had to modify doubledigits.c slightly to support X64 and IA64 machines on Windows. I also added the new file to the three project files.
on 32-bit systems on 64-bit systems, and vice versa. As a consequence
of the change, Random pickles created by Python 2.6 cannot be loaded
in Python 2.5.
Added PyFloat_GetMax(), PyFloat_GetMin() and PyFloat_GetInfo() to the float API.
Added a dictionary sys.float_info with information about the internal floating point type to the sys module.
(in deallocation of running threads, for example), so the PyGILState_Release()
function must still be functional.
On the other hand, _PyGILState_Fini() only frees memory, and can be called later.
Backport candidate, but only after some experts comment on it.
number: now it does not store the mantissa as a tuple
of numbers, but as a string.
This avoids a lot of conversions, and achieves a
speedup of 40%. The API remains intact.
Thanks Mark Dickinson.
newlines; it doesn't. To rectify this the string returned replaces all
instances of os.linesep with '\n' to fake universal newline support.
Backport candidate.
