  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...definition of the save method would mean that a D instance, when requested to save itself, only saves the A and B parts of its data, but not the part of its data defined by class C! C++ notices that D inherits two conflicting definitions of method m, and issues an error message. The author of D is then supposed to override m to resolve the conflict. But what is D's definition of m supposed to do? It can call B's m followed by C's m, but because both definitions call the definition of...

  • Python 2.4.1 - Release Notes

    ...ModuleEx(): if an error occurs while loading the module, these now delete the module's entry from sys.modules. All ways of loading modules eventually call one of these, so this is an error-case change in semantics for all ways of loading modules. In rare cases, a module loader may wish to keep a module object in sys.modules despite that the module's code cannot be executed. In such cases, the module loader must arrange to reinsert the name and module object in sys.modules. PyImport_ReloadMod...

    ...Module The Board reached a general consensus after some discussion on R. David Murray's funding proposal to create a functional email module for Python 3. S. Holden: "This is a worthy goal, but can we afford $14,000? Should we start a fundraising campaign for this?" J. Rush: "It definitely is worthy. Many using Mailman should be in support and David would do good work. At least the cost is spread over seven months." D. Mertz: "What about a matching funds approach he...

    ...definitions and style sheets, called Local.DTD and Local.DSL, respectively. These allow for the introduction of additional document elements, and their renderings, on top of those provided by DocBook. For example, some of the teams at my company wanted features in the final Word document that amounted to arbitrary Word field-code support in the SGML. To support this, I wrote a local DocBook stylesheet and definition file pair (Local.DSL, Local.DTD) to emit the sequences in RTF corresponding to t...

    ...module__ attribute that is bound to the name of the module in which the function was defined. This applies for C functions and methods as well as functions and methods defined in Python. This attribute is used by pickle.whichmodule(), which changes the behavior of whichmodule slightly. In Python 2.2 whichmodule() returns "__main__" for functions that are not defined at the top-level of a module (examples: methods, nested functions). Now whichmodule() will return the proper module na...

    ...Module Repository Upload Mechanism - Reifschneider Sure, nice, but this should be a community effort. Maybe Kapil's module repository project (Gideon, /usr/local/WWW/ftp.python.org/pub/www.python.org/sigs/catalog-sig) will bring new life to it? I think the issue here is not so much software, but (a) setting up a server (or set of replicas) capable of being hit by the entire community, and (b) rallying the community into submitting all their code to the repository. Another issue i...

    ...definitions or the initializer structure changed. What I really wanted was code that would analyze the shape and members of the initializer, query the class definitions themselves about their members, and then adjust itself to impedance-match the two sets. This kind of thing is called metaclass hacking and is generally considered fearsomely esoteric -- deep black magic. Most object-oriented languages don't support it at all; in those that do (Perl being one), it tends to be a complicated and fra...
