Eric Smith | 6337622 | 2009-05-05 14:04:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 502 | - Issue #5920: For float.__format__, change the behavior with the |
| 503 | empty presentation type (that is, not one of 'e', 'f', 'g', or 'n') |
| 504 | to be like 'g' but with at least one decimal point and with a |
| 505 | default precision of 12. Previously, the behavior the same but with |
| 506 | a default precision of 6. This more closely matches str(), and |
| 507 | reduces surprises when adding alignment flags to the empty |
| 508 | presentation type. This also affects the new complex.__format__ in |
| 509 | the same way. |

Mark Dickinson | 3370cce | 2009-04-17 22:40:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 568 | - The str function switches to exponential notation at |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 569 | 1e11, not 1e12. This avoids printing 13 significant digits in |
| 570 | situations where only 12 of them are correct. Example problem |
| 571 | value: str(1e11 + 0.5). (This minor issue has existed in 2.x for a |
| 572 | long time.) |
| 573 | |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 574 | - Issue #1580: On most platforms, use a 'short' float repr: for a |
| 575 | finite float x, repr(x) now outputs a string based on the shortest |
| 576 | sequence of decimal digits that rounds to x. Previous behaviour was |
| 577 | to output 17 significant digits and then strip trailing zeros. |
Mark Dickinson | 3370cce | 2009-04-17 22:40:53 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 578 | Another minor difference is that the new repr switches to |
| 579 | exponential notation at 1e16 instead of the previous 1e17; this |
| 580 | avoids misleading output in some cases. |
Mark Dickinson | b08a53a | 2009-04-16 19:52:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 581 | |
| 582 | There's a new sys attribute sys.float_repr_style, which takes |
| 583 | the value 'short' to indicate that we're using short float repr, |
| 584 | and 'legacy' if the short float repr isn't available for one |
| 585 | reason or another. |
| 586 | |
| 587 | The float repr change involves incorporating David Gay's 'perfect |
| 588 | rounding' code into the Python core (it's in Python/dtoa.c). As a |
| 589 | secondary consequence, all string-to-float and float-to-string |
| 590 | conversions (including all float formatting operations) will be |
| 591 | correctly rounded on these platforms. |
| 592 | |
| 593 | See issue 1580 discussions for details of platforms for which |
| 594 | this change does not apply. |

| 950 | collecting the oldest generation) so that allocating lots of objects without |
| 951 | destroying them does not show quadratic performance. Based on a proposal by |
| 952 | Martin von Löwis at |
| 953 | http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-June/080579.html. |

Antoine Pitrou | 8043cf8 | 2009-01-09 19:54:29 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 956 | having been closed (for instance, a read() call could return some |
| 957 | previously buffered data). Patch by Dmitry Vasiliev. |
| 958 | |
Antoine Pitrou | 0560843 | 2009-01-09 18:53:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 959 | - Issue #4705: Fix the -u ("unbuffered binary stdout and stderr") command-line |
| 960 | flag to work properly. Furthermore, when specifying -u, the text stdout |
| 961 | and stderr streams have line-by-line buffering enabled (the default being |
| 962 | to buffer arbitrary chunks of data). |
| 963 | |

| 965 | instead of ints (reducing its size from 4 to 8 times thereby reducing |

Antoine Pitrou | d35cbf6 | 2009-01-06 19:02:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 968 | - Issue #1180193: When importing a module from a .pyc (or .pyo) file with |
| 969 | an existing .py counterpart, override the co_filename attributes of all |
| 970 | code objects if the original filename is obsolete (which can happen if the |
| 971 | file has been renamed, moved, or if it is accessed through different paths). |
| 972 | Patch by Ziga Seilnacht and Jean-Paul Calderone. |
| 973 | |
Antoine Pitrou | c3b3924 | 2009-01-03 16:59:18 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 974 | - Issue #4580: Fix slicing of memoryviews when the item size is greater than |
| 975 | one byte. Also fixes the meaning of len() so that it returns the number of |
