Now we don't have to recreate VaultEditor objects for each file, and so
on. It also paves the way towards specifying separate input and output
files later.
It's unused and unnecessary; VaultLib can decide for itself what cipher
to use when encrypting. There's no need (and no provision) for the user
to override the cipher via options, so there's no need for code to see
if that has been done either.
'tox -e py26' would fail for me because python -m compileall would crawl
under .tox/py27 and, unsurprisingly, get SyntaxErrors on files from the
Python 2.7 standard library using syntax features not supported by
Python 2.6.
The bit about git rebase vs git merge is repeated in the paragraph below. The bit about test/integration is repeated in the paragraph above.
(And the bit about aliasing git pull to git pull --rebase is unclear, since git's aliases cannot override builtin operations.)
This commit deprecates the earlier groupname[x-y] syntax in favour of
the inclusive groupname[x:y] syntax. It also makes the subscripting
code simpler and adds explanatory comments.
One problem addressed by the cleanup is that _enumeration_info used to
be called twice, and its results discarded the first time because of the
convoluted control flow.
The possibilities are complicated enough that I didn't want to make
changes without having a complete description of what it actually
accepts/matches. Note that this text documents current behaviour, not
necessarily the behaviour we want. Some of this is undocumented and may
not be intended.
The --new-vault-password-file option works the same as
--vault-password-file but applies only to rekeying (when
--vault-password-file sets the old password). Also update the manpage
to document these options more fully.
`if method in dir(self):` is very inefficient:
- it must construct a list object listing all the object attributes & methods
- it must then perform a O(N) linear scan of that list
Replace it with the idiomatic `if hasattr(self, method):`, which is a
O(1) expected time hash lookup.
Should fix#11981.
