Replaced outcomes from native Tcl/Tk tests. Maybe the diffs are legit,
maybe not. I noticed that the Tcl results I'm replacing here claimed
both that there were no failures, and that one file had tests with
failures, so I wasn't inclined to trust them <wink>.
removed the comment saying they don't work, and changed the build step
to run them. If they're failing for someone else, please give details
about what failed.
fix the hangs on Win98SE when starting IDLE via "python" from a DOS box,
but did appear to make them harder to provoke. I closed that bug report
as being hopeless (and if someone wants to open it again, don't dare
assign it to me again <0.1 wink>).
whether this is a correct thing to do:
+ There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt).
+ test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now.
+ test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too.
Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated
build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled
the Windows installer accordingly.
+ News blurb, but as much XXX as news.
+ Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL;
still don't know how to fold that into _bsddb.pyd).
+ Fleshed out build instructions.
+ Debug Python still blows up.
The bsddb subproject is gone.
The _bsddb subproject is new.
There are problems here, but I'm out of time to work on this now. If
anyone can address an XXX comment or two in readme.txt, please do!
running IDLE, and since I'm not a Tcl Guy I'm not sure what else to do.
Up to you! See XXX comments in PCbuild\readme.txt for cautions.
Also repaired typos in the new bz2-for-Windows instructions.
CAUTION: The Python test still has many failures, but I'm out of time
for this now (already took much longer than hoped to get this far).
The base bz2 library does pass its own tests (see next).
CAUTION: People building on Windows have to download and build tne
bz2 compression libraries now. See PCbuild\readme.txt for complete
instructions.
much more explicit. Also document that we're moving to Tcl/Tk 8.3.2.
Simplify .dsp files by getting rid of useless include paths.
.wse file changed to reflect that my setup is different than Guido's:
if you *build* a Python distro using python20.wse, beware!
