- Update to 1.3.4:
* Get the first element from the method list when obtaining
the functions from nose.tools.trivial. Closes Pylint issue #448.
* Restore file_stream to a property, but deprecate it in favour of
the newly added method Module.stream. By using a method instead of a
property, it will be easier to properly close the file right
after it is used, which will ensure that no file descriptors are
leaked. Until now, due to the fact that a module was cached,
it was not possible to close the file_stream anywhere.
file_stream will start emitting PendingDeprecationWarnings in
astroid 1.4, DeprecationWarnings in astroid 1.5 and it will
be finally removed in astroid 1.6.
* Add inference tips for 'tuple', 'list', 'dict' and 'set' builtins.
* Add brain definition for most string and unicode methods
* Changed the API for Class.slots. It returns None when the class
doesn't define any slots. Previously, for both the cases where
the class didn't have slots defined and when it had an empty list
of slots, Class.slots returned an empty list.
* Add a new method to Class nodes, 'mro', for obtaining the
the method resolution order of the class.
* Add brain tips for six.moves. Closes issue #63.
* Improve the detection for functions decorated with decorators
which returns static or class methods.
* .slots() can contain unicode strings on Python 2.
* Add inference tips for nose.tools.
