revision 2.54 of complexobject.c
Declare real and imag as read-only attributes.
This fixes SF bug #514858 (Gregory Smith): complex not entirely
immutable
2.2.1 Bugfix candidate!
NULL, so that you can call PyType_Ready() to initialize a type that
is to be separately compiled with C on Windows.
inherit_special(): Add a long comment explaining that you have to set
tp_new if your base class is PyBaseObject_Type.
Fix for SF bug #492345. (I could've sworn I checked this in, but
apparently I didn't!)
This code:
class Classic:
pass
class New(Classic):
__metaclass__ = type
attempts to create a new-style class with only classic bases -- but it
doesn't work right. Attempts to fix it so it works caused problems
elsewhere, so I'm now raising a TypeError in this case.
delivered bizarre results. Check float_divmod for a Py_NotImplemented
return and pass it along (instead of treating Py_NotImplemented as a
2-tuple).
CONVERT_TO_DOUBLE: Added comments; this macro is obscure.
PyDict_UpdateFromSeq2(): removed it.
PyDict_MergeFromSeq2(): made it public and documented it.
PyDict_Merge() docs: updated to reveal <wink> that the second
argument can be any mapping object.
no get function was defined, the property's doc string was
inaccessible. This was because the test for prop_get was made
*before* the test for a NULL/None object argument.
Also changed the property class defined in Python in a comment to test
for NULL to decide between get and delete; this makes it less Python
but then, assigning None to a property doesn't delete it!
PyString_FromString():
Since the length of the string is already being stored in size,
changed the strcpy() to a memcpy() for a small speed improvement.
out the for loop at the end intended to zero out new items wasn't
doing anything, because sv->ob_size was already equal to newsize. The
fix slightly refactors the function, introducing a variable oldsize
and doing away with sizediff (which was used only once), and using
oldsize and newsize consistently. I also added comments explaining
what the two for loops do. (Looking at the CVS annotation of this
function, it's no miracle a bug crept in -- this has been patched by
many different folks! :-)
