real module, by filtering out aliased methods. This, combined with
the recent fixes to pyclbr, make it possible to enable more tests with
fewer exceptions.
- The _modules cache now uses the full module name.
- The meaning of the (internal!!!) inpackage argument is changed: it
now is the parent package name, or None. readmodule() doesn't
support this argument any more.
- The meaning of the path argument is changed: when inpackage is set,
the module *must* be found in this path (as is the case for the real
package search).
- Miscellaneous cleanup, e.g. fixed __all__, changed some comments and
doc strings, etc.
- Adapted the unit tests to the new semantics (nothing much changed,
really). Added some debugging code to the unit tests that print
helpful extra info to stderr when a test fails (interpreting the
test failures turned out to be hard without these).
see problems with my code that I didn't see before the checkin, but:
When a subtype .mro() fails, we need to reset the type whose __bases__
are being changed, too. Fix + test.
Constructor accepts optional keyword arguments after a optional items list.
Add fromkeys() as an alternate constructor from an iterable over keys.
Expand related unittests.
[ 635933 ] make some type attrs writable
Plus a couple of extra tests beyond what's up there.
It hasn't been as carefully reviewed as it perhaps should, so all readers
are encouraged, nay exhorted, to give this a close reading.
There are still a couple of oddities related to assigning to __name__,
but I intend to solicit python-dev's opinions on these.
The bsddb subproject is gone.
The _bsddb subproject is new.
There are problems here, but I'm out of time to work on this now. If
anyone can address an XXX comment or two in readme.txt, please do!
Already supported dict() and dict(mapping).
Now supports dict(itemsequence) and
Just van Rossum's new syntax for dict(keywordargs).
Also, added related unittests.
The docs already promise dict-like behavior
so no update is needed there.
Replaced docstring with comments. Prevents subclass contamination.
Added the missing __cmp__() method and a test for __cmp__().
Used try/except style in preference to has_key() followed by a look-up.
Used iteritem() where possible to save creating a long key list and
to save redundant lookups.
Expanded .update() to look for the most helpful methods first and gradually
work down to a mininum expected interface.
Expanded documentation to be more clear on how to use the class.
When mwh added extended slicing, strings and unicode became mappings.
Thus, dict was set which prevented an error when doing:
newstr = 'format without a percent' % string_value
This fix raises an exception again when there are no formats
and % with a string value.
Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for
SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher
slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation. The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone! OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty. Better
than a core dump.
