• What's New In Python 3.0

  ...hash because that hash mechanism is not correct for numeric types. All concrete numeric types that inherit from Number (rather than just registering with it) must explicitly provide a hash implementation in order for their instances to be hashable. Issue #2676: in the email package, content-type parsing was hanging on pathological input because of quadratic or exponential behaviour of a regular expression. Issue #3476: binary buffered reading through the new "io" library is now thread-...

• Parade of the PEPs

  ...hashing out the implementation. When they are ready, I think I'll just approve it. There was some serious opposition by an outside expert, Stephen Turnbull, who wants us to define the language pure in terms of UTF-8, and implement encodings as site-specific (?) hooks. But nobody agreed with him, and I've responded myself saying that I think it's best to do it MAL's way. PEP 265 - Sorting Dictionaries by Value - Griffin This is a small idea that's very important to its proposer, b...

• Python 2.4.1 - Release Notes

  ...hash() of an instance of a subclass of a mutable type (list or dictionary) would return some value, rather than raising TypeError. This has been fixed. Also, directly calling dict.__hash__ and list.__hash__ now raises the same TypeError (previously, these were the same as object.__hash__). New-style objects now support deleting their __dict__. This is for all intents and purposes equivalent to assigning a brand new empty dictionary, but saves space if the object is not used further. Core...

  ...hash value. Extension Modules Bug #1048870: the compiler now generates distinct code objects for functions with identical bodies. This was producing confusing traceback messages which pointed to the function where the code object was first defined rather than the function being executed. Library Patch #1056967 changes the semantics of Template.safe_substitute() so that no ValueError is raised on an 'invalid' match group. Now the delimiter is returned. Bug #1052503 pdb.runcall() was no...

  ...hash function. Bug #789402, fixed memory leak when opening a file object. Fixed a leak when new code objects are instantiated. Bug #800796: slice(1).__hash__() now raises a TypeError, unhashable type. Bug #603724: Pass an explicit buffer to setvbuf in PyFile_SetBufSize(). Bug #795506: The % formatting operator did not support '%F' as had been documented. Bug #775985: Only set stdout.encoding if a codec is available. Extension modules The _bsddb module now supports Berkeley DB 4.2. Bug #6982...
