mapping tests as possible in mapping_test.py and reuse the tests in
test_dict.py, test_userdict.py, test_weakref.py, test_os.py and test_shelve.py.
From SF patch #736962.
* Factored out common code to a single private function.
* Use str.join() instead of + concatenation
* Loop over elements directly instead of using indexing
* Use % operator for formatting
(Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.)
The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be
checked-in soon. Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's
rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in
in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev).
The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is
meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch. Further additions are
welcome from everyone. Please stress test this new feature as much as
possible before the alpha release.
- don't allow setting options to non-string values; raise TypeError
when the value is set, instead of raising an arbitrary exception
later (such as when string interpolation is performed)
- add tests, documentation
(closes SF bug #810843)
- ensure that option names in interpolations are handled by
self.optionxform in the same way that other references to option
names
- add tests, documentation
(closes SF bug #857881, patch #865455)
parser must recognize outer boundaries in inner parts. So cruise through the
EOF stack backwards testing each predicate against the current line.
There's still some discussion about whether this is (always) the best thing to
do. Anthony would rather parse these messages as if the outer boundaries were
ignored. I think that's counter to the RFC, but might be practically more
useful. Can you say behavior flag? (ug).
same method that implements __setitem__ also implements __delitem__.
Also, there were several good use cases (removing items from a queue
and implementing Forth style stack ops).
message/delivery-status clause, and genericize it to handle all (other)
message/* content types. This lets us correctly parse 2 more of Anthony's
MIME torture tests (specifically, the message/external-body examples).
