Does not need any SGI-specific libraries.
cgen.py, cstubs, Makefile: Generate glmodule.c differently so that it
can be compiled using an ANSI compiler.
* dosmodule.c: MSDOS specific stuff from posixmodule.c.
* posixmodule.c: removed all MSDOS specific stuff.
* tokenizer.h, parsetok.h: in prototypes, don't mix named and unnamed
parameters (MSC doesn't like this).
constructors. There is no backward compatibility. Not everything has
been tested.
* aiff.{py,doc}: deleted in favor of aifc.py (which contains its docs as
comments)
sys.tracebacklimit.
* tut.tex (Exceptions): change text printed by traceback.
* lib5.tex (audioop): added minmax.
* lib5.tex (audioop.getsample): move wandered paragraph back
* lib3.tex, partparse.py: undo mucking with \nopagebreak (didn't work).
* partparse.py: ignore \nopagebreak command
* ref5.tex: added description of lambda forms.
* ref7.tex: added reference to lambda forms to section on function
definition.
* lib1.tex: removed lambda as built-in function (it is now a special
form). Also removed feature of filter, map, reduce to turn a string
argument into an anonymous function.
* traceback.c (tb_print): use sys.tracebacklimit as a maximum number of
traceback entries to print (default 1000).
* ceval.c (printtraceback): Don't print stack trace header -- this is now
done by tb_print().
variables can still be seen by the debugger
* ftplib.py (retrlines): args should be *args.
* ChangeLog: entries for Sjoerd's addition sunau.py and changes to aiff.py
* test_md5.py: test program for built-in md5 module
-- function of module audioop: minmax (FRAGMENT, WIDTH)
Minmax returns a tuple consisting of the minimum and maximum
values of all samples in the sound fragment.
use audioop module as backup for cl module when reading or
writing u-law compressed files.
sunau.py: interface with the same methods as aifc for Sun and NeXT
audio files
reduce)
* ftplib.py: added default callback for retrlines; added dir() method
* ftplib.py: don't return self in self.connect(); added hack so that if
'CDUP' is not understood, 'CWD ..' is tried.
* ftplib.py: second method called init() should have been called
connect(); if __init__ sees more than one argument, it will also try to
login().
* funcobject.c (func_repr): don't call getstringvalue(None) for anonymous
functions.
* bltinmodule.c: removed lambda (which is now a built-in function);
removed implied lambda for string arg to filter/map/reduce.
* Grammar, graminit.[ch], compile.[ch]: replaced lambda as built-in
function by lambda as grammar entity: instead of "lambda('x: x+1')" you
write "lambda x: x+1".
* Xtmodule.c (checkargdict): return 0, not NULL, for error.
* posixmodule.c: don't prototype getcwd() -- it's not portable...
* mappingobject.c: double-check validity of last_name_char in
dict{lookup,insert,remove}.
* arraymodule.c: need memmove only for non-STDC Suns.
* Makefile: comment out HTML_LIBS and XT_USE by default
* pythonmain.c: don't prototype getopt() -- it's not standardized
* socketmodule.c: cast flags arg to {get,set}sockopt() and addrbuf arg to
recvfrom() to (ANY*).
* pythonrun.c (initsigs): fix prototype, make it static
* intobject.c (LONG_BIT): only #define it if not already defined
* classobject.[ch]: remove all references to unused instance_convert()
* mappingobject.c (getmappingsize): Don't return NULL in int function.
* Makefile: added 'ext' to 'all' target
* ext.tex: more changes towards a readable text
* lib4.tex (posix): added set{uid,gid}
* lib2.tex (array): restored doc for typecode and itemsize (which were
there but not visible for dir())
each dir in sys.path, try each possible extension. (Note: C extensions
are loaded before Python modules in the same directory, to allow having
a C version used when dynamic loading is supported and a Python version
as a back-up.)
* import.c (reload_module): test for error from getmodulename()
* moduleobject.c: implement module name as dict entry '__name__' instead
of special-casing it in module_getattr(); this way a module (or
function!) can access its own module name, and programs that know what
they are doing can rename modules.
* stdwinmodule.c (initstdwin): strip ".py" suffix of argv[0].
* test_grammar.py, testall.out: added test for funny things in string literals
* token.py, symbol.py: definitions used with built-in parser module.
* tokenize.py: added double-quote recognition
* {tuple,list,mapping,array}object.c: call printobject with 0 for flags
* compile.c (parsestr): use quote instead of '\'' at one crucial point
* arraymodule.c (array_getattr): Added __members__ attribute
