Phillip J. Eby 0611ed922e Allow applications to yield empty strings, and require middleware
to respect applications' block boundaries, so that asynchronous
applications can potentially pause their output while waiting for
(non-browser) I/O.  See these posts and the associated threads
for the discussion:

example code.

Phillip J. Eby a214fcda03 Flesh out CGI variable definitions, and slightly loosen server-side
requirements for providing variables that may be empty.  That's
the last of the open issues, so it's time for another posting, and
a last call for issues prior to finalization.

Phillip J. Eby 5dc9fcb7ae Clarify the meaning of "string" for platforms where 'str' objects can
contain Unicode (e.g. Jython, IronPython, Python 3000, etc.), per
discussion at:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/web-sig/2004-September/000860.html

Also, misc. copy edits.  Only one open issue left!

Phillip J. Eby 6fec30dfc6 Forgot to include the language about suppressing the logging of header

Phillip J. Eby a3f454b296 Update to reflect last few weeks' discussion on the Web-SIG. See:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/web-sig/2004-September/000855.html

for a detailed description of the changes made in this draft.  Hopefully, this
will be the last major set of *semantic* changes to the PEP, although there
are still a few minor open issues.
2004-09-13 20:01:54 +00:00
Barry Warsaw b65f4ea22d Updated the "Why" section based on comments from Andrew Durdin. More updates
to the PEP are no doubt still coming.

Anthony Baxter b13a4cc305 ding dong the witch is dead. or rather, the decorator discussion is.
updating the pep.

(I'm not sure if the "Community Concensus" section should be trimmed
down radically now - it's a lot of words for a rejected form, and the
case for the form is still available on the web and in the mailing
list archives... opinions, anyone?)
2004-09-01 15:02:22 +00:00
Phillip J. Eby 1373ea5150 Move 'fileno()' support to a separate section, where it should be
easier to see it's an optional and platform-specific extension, not
an excuse to return "file-like" objects instead of iterables.

Anthony Baxter 4500941247 I'm done with this now. It'll need a further update when Guido makes a
decision.

Raymond Hettinger d324b2fcff Update and finalize PEP 218 (builtin set types):
* List the additional methods and operators that are supported.
* List differences between sets.py and the built-in types.
* Mark the {-} syntax as rejected by Guido until Python 3000.
* Note that genexps make set comprehensions moot.
* Mark the pep as final and implemented.
2004-08-27 20:28:58 +00:00
Brett Cannon a584e413a0 Remove __cmp__ mention.
Add about list comps being syntactic sugar for genexps to list().  Reword
mention of stdlib reorg.  Mention comparisons other than == and != between
disparate types will raise an error unless excplicitly allowed.

after that was planned to occur.

Skip Montanaro 5cac22671f List some possible reasons why arriving at consensus about decorators has
been so hard (or impossible) to acheive.  There are certainly more.  Are
these the killers?
