need to convert str objects from the iterable to unicode. So, if
someone set the system default encoding to something nasty enough,
the conversion process could mutate the input iterable as a side
effect, and PySequence_Fast doesn't hide that from us if the input was
a list. IOW, can't assume the size of PySequence_Fast's result is
invariant across PyUnicode_FromObject() calls.
much to reduce the size of the code, but greatly improves its clarity.
It's also quicker in what's probably the most common case (the argument
iterable is a list). Against it, if the iterable isn't a list or a tuple,
a temp tuple is materialized containing the entire input sequence, and
that's a bigger temp memory burden. Yawn.
1. u1.join([u2]) is u2
2. Be more careful about C-level int overflow.
Since PySequence_Fast() isn't needed to achieve #1, it's not used -- but
the code could sure be simpler if it were.
unicodedata.east_asian_width(). You can still implement your own
simple width() function using it like this:
def width(u):
w = 0
for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2
else: w += 1
return w

- Move _PyUnicode_TypeRecord.flags to the end of the struct so that
no padding is added for UCS-4 builds. (Suggested by Martin v. Loewis)
and left shifts. (Thanks to Kalle Svensson for SF patch 849227.)
This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by
PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing
'L'. The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that
changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not
implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to
hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.
charmaptranslate_makespace() allocated more memory than required for the
next replacement but didn't remember that fact, so memory size was growing
exponentially every time a replacement string is longer that one character.
This fixes SF bug #828737.
