Spelling fixes supplied by Rob W. W. Hooft. All these are fixes in either

Sun, 16 Jul 2000 12:04:32 +0000

Spelling fixes supplied by Rob W. W. Hooft. All these are fixes in either
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").

There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)

Wed, 10 Dec 1997 22:59:55 +0000

At Barry's suggestion, plug the security leak by using an empty
__builtins__ for all calls to eval(). This still allows someone to
write string.atof("[1]*1000000") (which Jim Fulton worries about) but
effectively disables access to system modules and functions.

Since this module is used as a fallback in case no built-in modules

Wed, 10 Dec 1997 22:35:02 +0000

Since this module is used as a fallback in case no built-in modules
have been configured, string.atof() should not fail when "import re"
fails (usually because pcre is not there).

This opens up a tiny security hole: *if* an attacker can make "import
re" fail, they can also make string.atof(arbitrary_string) evaluate
the arbitrary string. Nothing to keep me awake at night...

In string.split(), honor maxsplit (if > 0).

Mon, 01 Dec 1997 15:25:19 +0000

In string.split(), honor maxsplit (if > 0).

In string.splitfields(), ignore maxsplit if <= 0, rather than ignoring
maxsplit=0 but effectively treating negative numbers the same as
maxsplit=1. Also made the test for maxsplit slightly more efficient
(set it to the length of the string when <= 0 so the test for its
presence can be omitted from the loop).

Convert all remaining simple cases of regex usage to re usage.

Convert all remaining *simple* cases of regex usage to re usage.

Add optional 4th argument to count(), matching find() etc.

Mon, 20 Oct 1997 23:31:15 +0000

Add optional 4th argument to count(), matching find() etc.
Also change all occurrences of "x == None" to "x is None" (not that it
matters much, these functions are all reimplemented in strop -- but
count() is not).

Changed my mind on replace().

Wed, 02 Apr 1997 05:49:46 +0000

Changed my mind on replace().
It's now replace(str, old, new, maxsplit=0).
Note new ordering of parameters (string first);
this is more consistent with translate().

Added new functions replace() and replace1().
