[issue1859] textwrap doesn't linebreak on "\n"

[Greg Ward]

Greg Ward  added the comment:

> Greg, any comment on this issue?

Yes, two:

1) textwrap does not handle paragraphs or paragraph breaks in any way.  
That was a deliberate limitation to keep the code from getting any 
hairier.  People have complained about this in the past, and I have 
studiously ignored such complaints.  The standard answer is that you 
should break your text into paragraphs and then feed those paragraphs 
individually to a TextWrapper.  But this does not look like that old 
complaint.

2) Test, test, test.  In case you hadn't already noticed, this is a 
hairy piece of code.  It's also a poster child for unit testing.  Any 
change should IMHO be accompanied by lots of new tests.

No wait, make that *three* comments:

3) I agree with tlynn that the example in msg95469 looks *awfully* 
fishy.  But I don't remember enough of the details to say what's likely 
to be broken.  That's probably your first test case right there.

Done.  I'll double check that the module remains loaded across restarts
when there's some idle time for a restart.

[issue1859] textwrap doesn't linebreak on "\n"

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

The current patch is too simple:  it fails if lines end with ' \n', for 
example.  The simplest way to make this work may be to put each '\n' into 
its own chunk.

[issue7327] format: minimum width: UTF-8 separators and decimal points

[Matthew Barnett]

Matthew Barnett  added the comment:

Surely this is to be expected when working with bytestrings. You should
be working in Unicode and using UTF-8 only for input and output.

[issue3944] faster long multiplication

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

I'm going to close this: it's a really nice idea, but after the 30-bit 
long digits were implemented, the speedup doesn't seem to be worth the 
extra code complication.

The only situation I've found where this optimization really does make a 
big difference is when using 60-bit digits, but allowing those in Python 
would take a bit more work (essentially because it requires using some 
inline assembler to get at the CPU widening multiply and 128-bit-by-64-bit 
division instructions).

[issue7046] decimal.py: use DivisionImpossible and DivisionUndefined

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

I think it's actually easier for the user if we keep the exception type 
as it is, so that it's clear which flag it corresponds to.  This didn't 
occur to me until I looked at the section of the doctests (around line 
100 in decimal.py) that looks like:

>>> print c.divide(Decimal(0), Decimal(0))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
  ...
  ...
InvalidOperation: 0 / 0
>>> print c.flags[InvalidOperation]
1

If the traceback specified 'DivisionUndefined' instead then the user has 
to figure out that the corresponding flag/trap is InvalidOperation.

Of course this could be worked around by giving a more detailed error 
message, e.g. DivisionUndefined: (InvalidOperation) 0/0, but this 
doesn't seem worth changing to me.

[issue7048] decimal.py: logb: round the result if it is greater than prec

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

There's a restriction on the second argument to scaleb in the spec, 
namely that scaleb should be in the range -2*(Emax + precision) to 
2*(Emax + precision) inclusive.

This restriction seems entirely arbitrary and unnecessary to me.  My
guess is that it's there to ease implementation in low-level languages, 
but it makes little sense for the Python implementation.

Here's a patch that removes this restriction on scaleb in the Python 
implementation, and skips the corresponding tests.

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

Hmm.  It seems that hijacking the existing HAVE_BROKEN_POSIX_SEMAPHORES 
wasn't a good idea.  I was surprised to find that OS X defines 
_POSIX_SEMAPHORES to -1, indicating a lack of POSIX semaphore support.
