Martin v. Löwis 43b57805fb Drop sys.build_number. Add sys.subversion. 2006-01-05 23:38:54 +00:00
Neal Norwitz b04747fc50 Add versionadded info 2005-12-18 01:36:44 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 2a38a86c1c Expose Subversion revision number (calculated via "svnversion .") to Python.
Add C API function Py_GetBuildNumber(), add it to the interactive prompt
banner (i.e. Py_GetBuildInfo()), and add it as the sys.build_number
attribute.  The build number is a string instead of an int because it may
contain a trailing 'M' if there are local modifications.

Raymond Hettinger 01884d56f4 Deprecate sys.exitfunc in favor of the atexit module.
Per Guido, sys.exitfunc will be kept around for backwards compatability
but atexit will become the one preferred way to do it.
2004-08-18 02:50:00 +00:00
Phillip J. Eby 1884dda233 Warn that settrace() is implementation rather than language
definition, per Guido's request  in off-list email.

Martin v. Löwis 73d538b9c6 Always initialize Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding on Unix in Py_Initialize,

Adjust test case.

Guido van Rossum 46d3dc37e4 - New function sys.exc_clear() clears the current exception. This is
rarely needed, but can sometimes be useful to release objects
  referenced by the traceback held in sys.exc_info()[2].  (SF patch
  #693195.)  Thanks to Kevin Jacobs!

Fred Drake 7731ed47cb Do not mask the name of a built-in function in example code.
Based on comment sent to python-docs.

Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.

Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back
    to calling PyErr_Display directly.
Also comes with sys.__excepthook__ and sys.__displayhook__.
