int, long, and float __format__(), and it keeps their implementation
in sync with py3k.
Also added PyOS_double_to_string. This is the "fallback" version
that's also available in trunk, and should be kept in sync with that
code. I'll add an issue to document PyOS_double_to_string in the C
API.
There are many internal cleanups. Externally visible changes include:
- Implement PEP 378, Format Specifier for Thousands Separator, for
floats, ints, and longs.
- Issue #5515: 'n' formatting for ints, longs, and floats handles
leading zero formatting poorly.
- Issue #5772: For float.__format__, don't add a trailing ".0" if
we're using no type code and we have an exponent.
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.
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.
imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".
This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by
Lib/email/test/data).
Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)
