Fred Drake 63a0191c8a Deal with macros that have to be replaced with simple text; only a
couple of these are currently found in index data, but these should
all be handled in the same way.

Closes SF bug #952737.

Fred Drake 0a4dd390bf Make weak references subclassable:
- weakref.ref and weakref.ReferenceType will become aliases for each
  other

- weakref.ref will be a modern, new-style class with proper __new__
  and __init__ methods

- weakref.WeakValueDictionary will have a lighter memory footprint,
  using a new weakref.ref subclass to associate the key with the
  value, allowing us to have only a single object of overhead for each
  dictionary entry (currently, there are 3 objects of overhead per
  entry: a weakref to the value, a weakref to the dictionary, and a
  function object used as a weakref callback; the weakref to the
  dictionary could be avoided without this change)

- a new macro, PyWeakref_CheckRefExact(), will be added

- PyWeakref_CheckRef() will check for subclasses of weakref.ref

This closes SF patch #983019.

Raymond Hettinger 214b1c3aae SF Bug #215126: Over restricted type checking on eval() function
The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument.
Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing
down the normal case.  My timings so no measurable impact.

Skip Montanaro 78bace7442 add cp866 row 2004-07-02 02:14:34 +00:00
Brett Cannon d88471f432 Change signatures for arguments to "s" and friends to be the proper ``const
char *`` instead of just ``char *``.  Also added the mentioning of "const" in
some places where it was left out even when the signature already stated the
fact.

Closes bug #980925.

Andrew M. Kuchling 6d3a0d2dff [Bug #948970] Add PyExc_* symbols to index.
(I ran this through texcheck, but don't have LaTeX installed on this machine and therefore haven't
verified that the changes are accepted by LaTeX.)

Brett Cannon a031a0870d Add a missing space. 2004-06-29 04:14:02 +00:00
Brett Cannon 289e4cba1c Changed applicable use of `char *` declarations that are passed into
PyArg_ParseTuple() to ``const char *`` to match the recommendation made in
section 1.3 and to support better coding habits.

Section 1.8 ("Keyword Parameters for Extension Functions") and it's coding
example were not touched since it is stems from an accredited source and thus
did not want to step on anyone's toes.

Fred Drake b86aa99eb9 move the note about the bsddb185 module above the "See also" box; that
should always go last in the relevant section's main content, but
before child sections

Tim Peters 9ddf40b4e1 SF patch 876130: add C API to datetime module, from Anthony Tuininga.
The LaTeX is untested (well, so is the new API, for that matter).
Note that I also changed NULL to get spelled consistently in concrete.tex.
If that was a wrong thing to do, Fred should yell at me.
