* Issue 2408: remove the _types moduleAmaury Forgeot d'Arc2008-04-081-11/+3
| | | | | | | | | It was only used as a helper in types.py to access types (GetSetDescriptorType and MemberDescriptorType), when they can easily be obtained with python code. These expressions even work with Jython. I don't know what the future of the types module is; (cf. discussion in http://bugs.python.org/issue1605 ) at least this change makes it simpler.
* Patch #1520294: Support for getset and member descriptors in types.py,Barry Warsaw2006-07-271-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | inspect.py, and pydoc.py. Specifically, this allows for querying the type of an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function. This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module. These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and types.MemberDescriptorType. Query functions are provided as inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor(). The implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types. The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates. I commit these changes now under these guiding principles: 1. Silence is assent. The release manager has not said "no", and of the few people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0". 2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. 3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a forcing function. :) Windows build patches will follow.

* SF patch 568629 by Oren Tirosh: types made callable.Guido van Rossum2002-06-141-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These built-in functions are replaced by their (now callable) type: slice() buffer() and these types can also be called (but have no built-in named function named after them) classobj (type name used to be "class") code function instance instancemethod (type name used to be "instance method") The module "new" has been replaced with a small backward compatibility placeholder in Python. A large portion of the patch simply removes the new module from various platform-specific build recipes. The following binary Mac project files still have references to it: Mac/Build/PythonCore.mcp Mac/Build/PythonStandSmall.mcp Mac/Build/PythonStandalone.mcp [I've tweaked the code layout and the doc strings here and there, and added a comment to types.py about StringTypes vs. basestring. --Guido]

* Patch #445762: Support --disable-unicodeMartin v. Löwis2001-08-171-1/+6
| | | | | | | | - Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled - check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions - disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions - add the types.StringTypes list - remove Unicode literals from most tests.
