[Python-checkins] CVS: python/dist/src/Include stringobject.h,2.27,2.28

[Tim Peters]

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Include
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv12913/python/dist/src/Include

Modified Files:
	stringobject.h 
Log Message:
SF bug 433228: repr(list) woes when len(list) big.
Gave Python linear-time repr() implementations for dicts, lists, strings.
This means, e.g., that repr(range(50000)) is no longer 50x slower than
pprint.pprint() in 2.2 <wink>.

I don't consider this a bugfix candidate, as it's a performance boost.

Added _PyString_Join() to the internal string API.  If we want that in the
public API, fine, but then it requires runtime error checks instead of
asserts.
