* Patch #1520294: Support for getset and member descriptors in types.py,Barry Warsaw2006-07-271-1/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Second phase of refactoring for runpy, pkgutil, pydoc, and setuptoolsPhillip J. Eby2006-04-181-109/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to share common PEP 302 support code, as described here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/063724.html pydoc now supports PEP 302 importers, by way of utility functions in pkgutil, such as 'walk_packages()'. It will properly document modules that are in zip files, and is backward compatible to Python 2.3 (setuptools installs for Python <2.5 will bundle it so pydoc doesn't break when used with eggs.) What has not changed is that pydoc command line options do not support zip paths or other importer paths, and the webserver index does not support sys.meta_path. Those are probably okay as limitations. Tasks remaining: write docs and Misc/NEWS for pkgutil/pydoc changes, and update setuptools to use pkgutil wherever possible, then add it to the stdlib.

| | | | | | | | | | | Thanks to Robert Dick <dickrp@ece.northwestern.edu> for reporting this bug and submitting a patch. Adjust doc(object) to display useful documentation for plain values (e.g. help([]) now shows the methods on the list instead of just printing "[]"). (This change has been tested interactively, by generating docs for the standard library, and by running the module documentation webserver.)
