Merged revisions 61404-61407 via svnmerge from svn+ssh://pythondev@svn.python.org/python/trunk ........ r61404 | raymond.hettinger | 2008-03-15 21:02:04 +0100 (Sat, 15 Mar 2008) | 17 lines Removed Exact/Inexact after discussion with Yasskin. Unlike Scheme where exactness is implemented as taints, the Python implementation associated exactness with data types. This created inheritance issues (making an exact subclass of floats would result in the subclass having both an explicit Exact registration and an inherited Inexact registration). This was a problem for the decimal module which was designed to span both exact and inexact arithmetic. There was also a question of use cases and no examples were found where ABCs for exactness could be used to improve code. One other issue was having separate tags for both the affirmative and negative cases. This is at odds with the approach taken elsewhere in the Python (i.e. we don't have an ABC both Hashable and Unhashable). ........ r61405 | raymond.hettinger | 2008-03-15 21:37:50 +0100 (Sat, 15 Mar 2008) | 1 line Zap one more use of Exact/Inexact. ........ r61406 | neal.norwitz | 2008-03-15 23:03:18 +0100 (Sat, 15 Mar 2008) | 9 lines Add a warning for code like: assert (0, 'message') An empty tuple does not create a warning. While questionable usage: assert (), 'message' should not display a warning. Tested manually. The warning message could be improved. Feel free to update it. ........ r61407 | neal.norwitz | 2008-03-15 23:36:01 +0100 (Sat, 15 Mar 2008) | 1 line Handle memory allocation failure. Found by Adam Olsen ........
