* Extend rangrange() to return meaningful results when the range is
larger than 2**53. Only applies to the MersenneTwister. WichmannHill
was left alone in the absence of a proof showing how multiple calls
could be combined to produce long bit streams.
* WichmannHill was missing from __all__.
PlaySoundTest.test_alias_fallback(): Disabled this test, and explained
why in a new comment. My home Win98SE box is one of the "real systems"
alluded to (my system "default sound" appears to have vanished sometime
in the last month, that's certainly not a Python bug, and the MS
PlaySound docs are correct in their explanation of what happens then).
random.sample() uses one of two algorithms depending on the ratio of the
sample size to the population size. One of the algorithms accepted any
iterable population argument so long as it defined __len__(). The other
had a stronger requirement that the population argument be indexable.
While it met the documentation specifications which insisted that the
population argument be a sequence, it made random.sample() less usable
with sets. So, the second algorithm was modified to coerce non-indexable
iterables and dictionaries into a tuple before proceeding.
For smaller datasets, it is not always true the increasing the compression
level always results in better compression. Removed the test which made
this invalid assumption.
When the indents were set to longer than the width and long word breaking
was enabled, an infinite loop would result because the inner loop did not
assure that at least one character was stripped off on every pass.
platforms (e.g., Cygwin) that are "particular" about open files, this will
cause other regression tests that use the same temp file to fail:
$ ./python.exe -E -tt Lib/test/regrtest.py -l
test_largefile test_mmap test_mutants
test_largefile
test test_largefile failed -- got -1794967295L, but expected 2500000001L
test_mmap
test test_mmap crashed -- exceptions.IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '@test'
test_mutants
test test_mutants crashed -- exceptions.IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '@test'
This patch solves the problem by adding missing "try/finally" blocks. Note
that the "large" size of this patch is due to many white space changes --
otherwise, the patch is small.
I tested this patch under Red Hat Linux 8.0 too.
consistent across versions.
* Relaxed the argument restrictions for non-operator methods. They now
allow any iterable instead of requiring a set. This makes the module
a little easier to use and paves the way for an efficient C
implementation which can take better advantage of iterable arguments
while screening out immutables.
* Added a PendingDeprecationWarning for Set.update() because it now
duplicates Set.union_update()
* Adapted the tests and docs to include the above changes.
* Added more test coverage including testing identities and checking
to make sure non-restartable generators work as arguments.
* Enhance message for UnicodeEncodeError and UnicodeTranslateError.
If there is only one bad character it will now be printed in a
form that is a valid Python string.
* Add a unicode prefix to the characters in the UnicodeEncodeError
and UnicodeTranslateError message.
The default seed is time.time().
Multiplied by 256 before truncating so that fractional seconds are used.
This way, two consequetive calls to random.seed() are much more likely
to produce different sequences.
