Fix most trivially-findable print statements.

There's one major and one minor category still unfixed:
doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the
refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon);
other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category.

(Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)

[Apply length-checking.diff from bug #1599254]

Add length checking to single-file mailbox formats: before doing a
flush() on a mailbox, seek to the end and verify its length is
unchanged, raising ExternalClashError if the file's length has
changed.

This fix avoids potential data loss if some other process appends to
the mailbox file after the table of contents has been generated;
instead of overwriting the modified file, you'll get the exception.

I also noticed that the self._lookup() call in self.flush() wasn't
necessary (everything that sets self._pending to True also calls
self.lookup()), and replaced it by an assertion.

2.5 backport candidate.

Restructure comparison dramatically. There is no longer a default

Thu, 24 Aug 2006 00:41:19 +0000

Restructure comparison dramatically. There is no longer a default
*ordering* between objects; there is only a default equality test
(defined by an object being equal to itself only). Read the comment
in object.c. The current implementation never uses a three-way
comparison to compute a rich comparison, but it does use a rich
comparison to compute a three-way comparison. I'm not quite done
ripping out all the calls to PyObject_Compare/Cmp, or replacing
tp_compare implementations with tp_richcompare implementations;
but much of that has happened (to make most unit tests pass).

The following tests still fail, because I need help deciding
or understanding:

test_codeop -- depends on comparing code objects
test_datetime -- need Tim Peters' opinion
test_marshal -- depends on comparing code objects
test_mutants -- need help understanding it

The problem with test_codeop and test_marshal is this: these tests
compare two different code objects and expect them to be equal.
Is that still a feature we'd like to support? I've temporarily
removed the comparison and hash code from code objects, so they
use the default (equality by pointer only) comparison.

For the other two tests, run them to see for yourself.
(There may be more failing test with "-u all".)

A general problem with getting lots of these tests to pass is
the reality that for object types that have a natural total ordering,
implementing __cmp__ is much more convenient than implementing
__eq__, __ne__, __lt__, and so on. Should we go back to allowing
__cmp__ to provide a total ordering? Should we provide some other
way to implement rich comparison with a single method override?
Alex proposed a __key__() method; I've considered a __richcmp__()
method. Or perhaps __cmp__() just shouldn't be killed off...

SF patch #907403: Improvements to cStringIO.writelines()

The writelines() method now accepts any iterable argument and writes
the lines one at a time rather than using ''.join(lines) followed by
a single write. Results in considerable memory savings and makes
the method suitable for use with generator expressions.

Remove uses of the string and types modules:

Mon, 03 Jun 2002 15:58:32 +0000

Remove uses of the string and types modules:

x in string.whitespace => x.isspace()
type(x) in types.StringTypes => isinstance(x, basestring)
isinstance(x, types.StringTypes) => isinstance(x, basestring)
type(x) is types.StringType => isinstance(x, str)
type(x) == types.StringType => isinstance(x, str)
string.split(x, ...) => x.split(...)
string.join(x, y) => y.join(x)
string.zfill(x, ...) => x.zfill(...)
string.count(x, ...) => x.count(...)
hasattr(types, "UnicodeType") => try: unicode except NameError:
type(x) != types.TupleTuple => not isinstance(x, tuple)
isinstance(x, types.TupleType) => isinstance(x, tuple)
type(x) is types.IntType => isinstance(x, int)

Do not mention the string module in the rlcompleter docstring.

This partially applies SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/562373
(with basestring instead of string). (It excludes the changes to
unittest.py and does not change the os.stat stuff.)

[ Bug #116636 ] Bug in StringIO.write()

[ Bug #116636 ] Bug in StringIO.write()
http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=116636&group_id=5470
bobalex@rsv.ricoh.com

Bug report: If the file position is less than the end of the "file",
and a write is performed extending past then end of the file, the data
string is corrupted.

Solution: in write(), when writing past the end, properly set self.len
when newpos is > self.len.

Mass patch by Ka-Ping Yee:

1. Comments at the beginning of the module, before
functions, and before classes have been turned
into docstrings.

2. Tabs are normalized to four spaces.

Also, removed the "remove" function from dircmp.py, which reimplements
list.remove() (it must have been very old).
