Guido van Rossum ede8c6eea1 Bill Tutt:
Calling Sleep(0) for a spinlock can cause a priority inversion, adding
comments to explain what's going on.

Fred Drake 65e69002a2 Oops, better also note that the module initialization function must be
extern "C" for C++.
2000-05-10 20:36:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 2d54523551 Section "The Module's Method Table and Initialization Function":
Explain that the name of the initialization function must be
        init<module>().  Omission noted by Daniel Kozan
        <crum@dev-group.com>.

Guido van Rossum cf3ba65749 At Bob Kahn's request, add CNRI to the copyright string (but not to
the notice yet).

Fred Drake 6cd948ebd8 Rename the "browser" module to "BrowserControl", since Guido did not
like the short, ambiguous name.

Fred Drake 8638ace511 EditorWindow.python_docs():
Instead of using Netscape through os.system(), use the new
        browser.open() function to load the documentation on the
        default browser.  On Windows, this will use the installed
        documentation if it exists, instead of hitting python.org.

Jack Jansen 9cfce18c4f GUSI 2.0.5 has a non-functional getsockname() if you use Open Transport. For now the workaround is to only enable MacTCP sockets. 2000-05-10 15:15:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum da5cc82d59 Trent Mick:
Use "win32" for sys.platform on Win64 instead of "win32" because:
1. While it may be confusing to the Python scriptor on Win64 that he has to
   check for win*32*, that is something that he will learn the first time. It
   is better than the alternative of the scriptor happily using "win64" and
   then that code not running on Win32 for no good reason.
2. The main question is: is Win64 so much more like Win32 than different from
   it that the common-case general Python programmer should not ever have to
   make the differentiation in his Python code. Or, at least, enough so that
   such differentiation by the Python scriptor is rare enough that some other
   provided mechanism is sufficient (even preferable). Currently the answer
   is yes. Hopefully MS will not change this answer.

Fred Drake 230cae7474 Trent Mick <trentm@activestate.com>:
Limit the 'b' formatter of PyArg_ParseTuple to valid values of an unsigned
char, i.e. [0,UCHAR_MAX]. It is expected that this is the common usage of 'b'.
An OverflowError is raised if the parsed value is outside this range.
2000-05-09 21:50:00 +00:00
Fred Drake a69ef82643 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Added a useful link to Markus Kuhn's Unicode and UTF-8
FAQ.
2000-05-09 19:58:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 774c931c12 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Added another test for string formatting (the one that
produced the core dump now fixed in unicodeobject.c).
2000-05-09 19:57:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 8b4d01d9f9 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Added APIs to allow setting and querying the system's
current string encoding: sys.set_string_encoding()
and sys.get_string_encoding().
2000-05-09 19:57:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 766de83ab1 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Moved some docs to the include file.

Added a NULL check to _PyCodec_Lookup() to make it
core dump safe.
2000-05-09 19:55:59 +00:00
Fred Drake c640b18d96 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Fixed docs according to the new behaviour (the Unicode
encoding is no longer fixed to UTF-8).
2000-05-09 19:55:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 785d14f965 Minimal change so I can add the rest of MAL's checkin message:
M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Fixed a core dump in PyUnicode_Format().
2000-05-09 19:54:43 +00:00
Fred Drake e4315f58d2 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Added support for user settable default encodings. The
current implementation uses a per-process global which
defines the value of the encoding parameter in case it
is set to NULL (meaning: use the default encoding).
2000-05-09 19:53:39 +00:00
Fred Drake aff601804d M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Fixed a bug due to a /* inside /*...*/. GCC doesn't like
this and bombs.
2000-05-09 19:52:40 +00:00
Fred Drake cb093fe890 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Added PyUnicode_GetDefaultEncoding() and
PyUnicode_GetDefaultEncoding() APIs.
2000-05-09 19:51:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 3ac3edcf95 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Added documentation and the missing PyCodec_StreamWriter API.
2000-05-09 19:51:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ea2b7157ab New version from Jim Fulton to fix a problem that Eric Raymond ran
into.  Jim writes:

The core dump was due to a C decrement operation
in a macro invocation in load_pop.  (BAD)

I fixed this by moving the decrement outside
the macro call.

I added a comment to load_pop and load_mark
to document the fact that cPickle separates the
unpickling stack into two separate stacks, one for
objects and one for marks.

I also moved some increments out of some macro
calls (PyTuple_SET_ITEM and PyList_SET_ITEM).
This wasn't necessary, but made me feel better. :)

I tested these changes in *my* cPickle, which
doesn't have the new Unicode stuff.

Fred Drake 625d70a7a6 Fix references to the built-in compile() that don't include the
filename parameter.  Noted by Randall Hopper <aa8vb@yahoo.com>.
2000-05-09 17:10:23 +00:00
Fred Drake 35784dff6a Skip Montanaro <skip@mojam.com>:
The intent is that this diff adds a link to the rfc822 module doc and
an index reference to this module under the rfc822 heading.

Fred, based on a suggestion from Grant Griffin <grant.griffin@honeywell.com>:
Added link to the MIME FAQ, so people can more easily get more
information about the subject of the module.

Fred Drake 51313f164c Define \seeurl in the seealso environment. Two parameters: url, why. 2000-05-09 16:18:44 +00:00
Fred Drake ef4d111b2a do_cmd_seeurl(): New function. 2000-05-09 16:17:51 +00:00
Fred Drake d85f05940e read() method: clarify that strings are accepted and interpreted
reasonably.

readfp() method:  added documentation.
2000-05-09 15:06:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 57af072e5c Add a simple directory listing function. 2000-05-09 14:57:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 18865de7bd Set HTTPServer class variable allow_reuse_address to 1, so restarting
the server after it died doesn't require a wait period.
2000-05-09 14:54:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e3c7a5fbf5 Add class variable allow_reuse_address in TCPServer -- if nonzero, the
server_bind() method calls setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1).
2000-05-09 14:53:29 +00:00
Fred Drake fd4114e7b8 ConfigParser.read():
Instead of wrapping 'filenames' value in a list if it's a
        string, wrap it if it's a string or unicode string.
2000-05-09 14:46:40 +00:00
Fred Drake bd7b8b3310 Minor edit of leading comments: 'the the' --> 'the', quoted 'enable'
option name for clarity.
2000-05-09 14:28:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c18a6f466a Replace PyErr_BadArgument() error in PyInt_AsLong() with "an integer
is required" (we can't say more because we don't know in which context
it is called).
2000-05-09 14:27:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b8872e61c6 Trent Mick:
Fix the string methods that implement slice-like semantics with
optional args (count, find, endswith, etc.) to properly handle
indeces outside [INT_MIN, INT_MAX]. Previously the "i" formatter
for PyArg_ParseTuple was used to get the indices. These could overflow.

This patch changes the string methods to use the "O&" formatter with
the slice_index() function from ceval.c which is used to do the same
job for Python code slices (e.g. 'abcabcabc'[0:1000000000L]).
2000-05-09 14:14:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2a91cd463a Caolan McNamara: properly undo the byte-stuffing of lines starting
with a dot.  [GvR change: only unstuff when line starts with two dots.]
2000-05-09 10:56:00 +00:00
Jack Jansen 9cef99fbf9 USE_GUSI2 should be defined, not USE_GUSI1. 2000-05-09 10:02:30 +00:00
Jack Jansen 6f8a6d21a1 Selecting the macfsn option didn't work, fixed.
Fixed the help strings.
Swapped the macfsn and help button numbers.
2000-05-09 10:01:52 +00:00
Jack Jansen 317b2a6d59 Import this to replace open() by an extended version that uses
Internet Config to set creator/type based on the extension. Donated by
Oliver Steele.

Jeremy Hylton e298c3018c if the GzipFile constructor fails, the __del__ method is still
called.  catch the resulting AttributeError and exit cleanly.

Guido van Rossum c554505ca1 Trent Mick:
Fix overflow bug in ldexp(x, exp). The 'exp' argument maps to a C int for the
math library call [double ldexp(double, int)], however the 'd'
PyArg_ParseTuple formatter was used to yield a double, which was subsequently
cast to an int. This could overflow.

[GvR: mysteriously, on Solaris 2.7, ldexp(1, 2147483647) returns Inf
while ldexp(1, 2147483646) raises OverflowError; this seems a bug in
the math library (it also takes a real long time to compute the
Inf outcome).  Does this point to a bug in the CHECK() macro?  It
should have discovered that the result was outside the HUGE_VAL range.]

Guido van Rossum 23ef82ffe3 Trent Mick:
The following modules are specifically excluded in the Win64 build:
audioop, binascii, imageop, rgbimg. They are advertised as heavily 32-bit
dependent.  [They should probably be fixed!  --GvR]
2000-05-08 14:15:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c66ae966ed Trent Mick:
Changes to PC\config.[hc] for Win64. MSVC defines _WINxx to differentiate the
various windows platforms. Python's MS_WINxx are keyed off of these. Note
that _WIN32 (and hence MS_WIN32 in Python) are defined on Win32 *and* on
Win64. This is for compatibility reasons. The idea is that the common case is
that code specific to Win32 will also work on Win64 rather than being
specific to Win32 (i.e. there is more the same than different in WIn32 and
Win64).

The following modules are specifically excluded in the Win64 build:
audioop, binascii, imageop, rgbimg. They are advertised as heavily 32-bit
dependent.  [They should probably be fixed!  --GvR]

The patch to config.h looks big but it really is not. These are the effective
changes:
- MS_WINxx are keyed off _WINxx
- SIZEOF_VOID_P is set to 8 for Win64
- COMPILER string is changed appropriately for Win64

is renamed _PyEval_SliceIndex() and is now exported. As well, the return
values for success/fail were changed to make slice_index directly
usable as required by the "O&" formatter.

[GvR: shouldn't a similar patch be applied to unicodeobject.c?]
2000-05-08 14:08:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 20c6add7ff Trent Mick:
Change static slice_index() to extern _PyEval_SliceIndex() (with
different return value interpretation: 0 for failure, 1 for success).
2000-05-08 14:06:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7c36ada115 Trent Mick:
Add declaration of PyEval_SliceIndex().
