and .keys(), .items(), .values() return dict views.
The dict views aren't fully functional yet; in particular, they can't
be compared to sets yet. but they are useful as "iterator wells".
There are still 27 failing unit tests; I expect that many of these
have fairly trivial fixes, but there are so many, I could use help.
* Fix some docstrings and one Print -> print.
* Fix test_{class,code,descrtut,dis,extcall,parser,popen,pkg,subprocess,syntax,traceback}.
These were the ones that generated code with a print statement.
In most remaining failing tests there's an issue with the soft space.
This was started by Mike Bland and completed by Guido
(with help from Neal).
This still needs a __future__ statement added;
Thomas is working on Michael's patch for that aspect.
There's a small amount of code cleanup and refactoring
in ast.c, compile.c and ceval.c (I fixed the lltrace
behavior when EXT_POP is used -- however I had to make
lltrace a static global).
(Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.)
The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be
checked-in soon. Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's
rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in
in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev).
The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is
meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch. Further additions are
welcome from everyone. Please stress test this new feature as much as
possible before the alpha release.
The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules
have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries.
A new docstring was added to formatter. The docstring for os.py
was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.
* test_grammar.py, testall.out: added test for funny things in string literals
* token.py, symbol.py: definitions used with built-in parser module.
* tokenize.py: added double-quote recognition
