  • What's new in Python 1.5 and beyond

    ...read module is now automatically included when threads are configured. (You must remove it from your existing Setup file, since it is now in its own Setup.thread file.) New command line option "-x" to skip the first line of the script; handy to make executable scripts on non-Unix platforms. In importdl.c, add the RTLD_GLOBAL to the dlopen() flags. I haven't checked how this affects things, but it should make symbols in one shared library available to the next one. The Windows configu...

    ...Reader now implements buffering, which enables proper readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read() has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines() have a new argument keepends. Trailing "n"s will be stripped from the lines if keepends is false. The documentation for doctest is greatly expanded, and now covers all the new public features (of which there are many). doct...

  • Towards a Standard Parser Generator

    ...read safe. It should be noted that some of these problems have been resolved with the 0.11.1 release of 4Suite. When analysing parser generators, the following absolute requirements where defined: The generated parsers should allow semantic actions in Python. This requirement is obvious, since it would not be a Python parser generator otherwise. It was no requirement that the generator itself is a Python program. The generated parsers need to support parsing ...

  • Parade of the PEPs

    ...read the whole PEP, and certainly never tried to read and understand the specification or the sample implementation, so maybe I'm still off base. PEP 254 - Making Classes Look More Like Types - van Rossum This PEP was intended to describe changes to the classic class implementation that would take it closer to new-style classes. I haven't made a start with this work, and I think maybe it's not necessary -- the classic clas simplementation may as well remain exactly the way it is, ...

    ...read_start_new_thread() never checked error returns from Windows functions correctly. As a result, it could claim to start a new thread even when the Microsoft _beginthread() function failed (due to "too many threads" -- this is on the order of thousands when it happens). In these cases, the Python exception thread.error: can't start new thread is raised now. SF bug 766669: Prevent a GPF on interpreter exit when sockets are in use. The interpreter now calls WSACleanup() from Py_F...
