2010-11-27 Thread Eric Smith

[issue10542] Py_UNICODE_NEXT and other macros for surrogates

2010-11-26 Thread Eric Smith
Eric Smith added the comment: The compiler's decision to inline something should not be related to its ability to put variables in a register. But I definitely agree that we should get the abstraction right first and worry about the implementation

2010-11-26 Thread Eric Smith
Eric Smith added the comment: The code will basically be: Py_UCS4 fill; parse_format_string(fmt, ..., &fill, ...); /* lots more code */ if (fill_needed) { /* compute how many characters to reserve */ space_needed = Py_UNICODE_NUM_NEEDED(

[issue10542] Py_UNICODE_NEXT and other macros for surrogates

2010-11-26 Thread Eric Smith
Eric Smith added the comment: I'd need access to this without having to build a PyUnicodeObject, for efficiency. But it sounds like it does have the basic functionality I need. For my use I'd really need it to take the result of Py_UNICODE_NEXT. Something like:

2010-11-26 Thread Eric Smith
Eric Smith added the comment: In addition to the proposed Py_UNICODE_NEXT and Py_UNICODE_PUT_NEXT, str.__format__ would also need a function that tells it how many Py_UNICODEs are needed to store a given Py_UCS4. -- ___ Python tracker <h

[issue10521] str methods don't accept non-BMP fillchar on a narrow Unicode build

2010-11-26 Thread Eric Smith
Eric Smith added the comment: I think these macros would be a reasonable approach. I think str.center, etc. should support non-BMP chars, because to not do so can raise an exception. Supporting composed graphemes seems like another problem altogether. And while we could fix that, it&#

[issue10533] defaultdict constructor with a concrete value

2010-11-25 Thread Eric Smith
Eric Smith added the comment: -1 from me. You can't use keywords, and if you make the value callable at a later date then suddenly you'll change the behavior of seemingly unrelated code. Is a lambda so bad? -- nosy: +eric.smith ___ Pyth

[issue10524] Patch to add Pardus to supported dists in platform

Eric Smith added the comment: str.__format__ and friends (int, float, complex) also have this same problem. For example, when they're computing the "fill" character: >>> format('', 'x^') '' >>> format('', '\U00

2010-11-21 Thread Eric Smith
Eric Smith added the comment: I agree that: format(Decimal('1.23'), '#.6g') should give '1.23000', just as: format(1.23, '#.6g') does. I'll work on fixing the patch, although if I don't get to it in the next few days I'll commit
