This is Python release 1.5.1
============================
This version is officially released on Tuesday, April 14, 1998. It is
mostly a bugfix release on Python 1.5.
This is Python release 1.5.2a1
==============================
What's new in this release?
---------------------------
See the Misc/NEWS file. Nothing spectacular this time, only small
changes (as you would expect from a release called "1.5.1").
One big organizational change: the documentation sources have been
unbundled. We will release a version of the Doc subtree separately,
but probably not simultaneously with the source release.
See the Misc/NEWS file. Nothing spectacular this time. The BeOS port
is now integrated, courtesy Chris Herborth (see below).

The socket test might fail in the test harness; going through it by
hand shows that they work.

A good exercise for the reader: make this work "out of the box".
Using GNU readline 2.2 seems to behave strangely, but I think that's
a problem with my readline 2.2 port. :-\

If you get SIGSEGVs while running Python (I haven't yet, but I've
only run small programs and the test cases), you're probably running
out of stack; the default 32k could be a little tight. To increase
the stack size, edit the Makefile in the Modules directory to read:
LDFLAGS = -N 48k

See BeOS/README for notes about compiling/installing Python on
BeOS R3 or later. Note that only the PowerPC platform is supported
at this time, but feel free to try building it on x86.

Cray T3E: Konrad Hinsen writes:
1) Don't use gcc. It compiles Python/graminit.c into something that
the Cray assembler doesn't like. Cray's cc seems to work fine.
2) Uncomment modules md5 (won't compile) and audioop (will crash
the interpreter during the test suite).
If you run the test suite, two tests will fail (rotate and binascii),
but these are not the modules you'd expect to need on a Cray.
