Thomas Heller ecaf0d8b47 The installer now displays info about version of distutils
used to create the distribution and the creation date.

Takes care of the extra_path argument to the setup function,
installs the modules into <prefix>/extra_path and creates
a -pth file (like install_lib does).

Thomas Heller b943840a78 The windows installer must also look under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key
for python installations, not only under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Fred Drake b37bdc2c7c Do not try to fix bugs while sleeping.
Paid more attention to the comments on the report; Martin suggested just
not having a __del__() method, which makes more sense in this case.  So
I have removed it.

This closes SourceForge bug #113850.  Again.

Fred Drake 16c4aa441b Kevin Jacobs <jacobs@darwin.cwru.edu>:
The posixfile __del__ method attempts to close the file (_file_) it
contains. However, if the open() method fails, then _file_ is never
assigned.

This closes SourceForge bug #113850.

Tim Peters 8f422461b4 Fix for bug 113934. string*n and unicode*n did no overflow checking at
all, either to see whether the # of chars fit in an int, or that the
amount of memory needed fit in a size_t.  Checking these is expensive, but
the alternative is silently wrong answers (as in the bug report) or
core dumps (which were easy to provoke using Unicode strings).

Fred Drake 643d76d735 Add support for new \pep, \seepep, excclassdesc markup.
Update processing of module synopsis tables (found at the beginning of
most chapters of the library reference) to reflect changes in the
processing pattern of recent versions LaTeX2HMTL.  Requires most
recent change to SynopsisTable.pm.

This does not fix the module index problem.
2000-09-09 06:07:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e607964d1 excclassdesc: New environment. For use in documenting class-based
exceptions which have interesting constructor signatures.

\pep, \seepep:  New macros.  Equivalent to \rfc and \seerfc, but
        referring to the PEP series instead of the Internet RFC
        series of documents.
2000-09-09 06:01:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 75c6cb909c Add support for a filename to record the name of the node in which the

attribute.

Fred Drake 1172a85175 Really minor consistency nit. 2000-09-09 03:31:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 66571cc20c Improve a couple of references to the language reference, making them
hyperlinks to relevant sections.

Clarify the conditions under which the "softspace" attribute of file-like
objects can "just work" (with relation to overriding of attribute access
in user-defined classes).
2000-09-09 03:30:34 +00:00

enabled at build time.
2000-09-09 03:26:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 1c4efad770 Move the "See also" section to a location more consistent with other
module sections.  Properly mark the name of the module in the content
of the reference there.
2000-09-09 03:25:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 621d2bee1c Move description of UserString.MutableString to a location more typical
of the arrangement of other modules.

Fred Drake 90f876798f When building the HTML packages, make sure we pick up all the HTML files

Reported by M-A Lemburg.  Closes [ Bug #113576 ].

Fred Drake ae3a15c396 Make the HTML more XHTML-friendly.
Small nits in the layout of the generated markup.
2000-09-07 20:07:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 31edf4defb Wrap some long lines.
Note that \file and \filenq do not work inside section titles.

Fred Drake 5cd0cefbd2 Remove the specific date -- back in development mode. 2000-09-07 18:56:29 +00:00
Fred Drake d0726c3cd9 \file is not allowed in section titles -- converting to PDF fails due to
weird macro-expansion issues.  A better solution may be available in the
future, but this will do for now.

Add an index entry.  More should probably be added as well.
2000-09-07 18:55:08 +00:00

Thomas Heller 904ca11a87 Changes:
distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py:
- the windows installer is again able to compile after installing
  the files. Note: The default has changed, the packager has to
  give --no-target-compile/--no-target-optimize to NOT compile
  on the target system. (Another note: install_lib's --compile
  --optimize options have the same semantics to switch off
  the compilation. Shouldn't the names change?)
- All references to specific python versions are gone.
- A small bug:
    raise DistutilsPlatformError ("...")
  instead of
    raise DistutilsPlatformError, ("...")
- When bdist_wininst creates an installer for one specific python
  version, this is reflected in the name:
    Distutils-0.9.2.win32-py15.exe instead of
    Distutils-0.9.2.win32.exe
- bdist_wininst, when run as script, reads the wininst.exe file
  and rewrites itself. Previously this was done by hand.

misc/install.c
- All the changes needed for compilation
- Deleted a lot of debug/dead code

Fredrik Lundh a249f16af0 Older Tk versions don't support mousewheel support. Set event.delta
to zero if that's the case (closes bug #113727)
2000-09-07 15:05:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ebba420285 Oops. Jim's fix didn't. This one does -- I tested it a bit better
this time!
2000-09-07 14:35:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 6300bd42a4 Added note about Python version this was added for. 2000-09-07 14:01:40 +00:00
Fred Drake 77a6c9ece5 Minor markup nits around use of \optional. 2000-09-07 14:00:51 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg f156a44e8c Added Unicode objects to the copy mechanism. Since these are immutable,
they are copied as atomic types.

Tim Peters 627273165d Boost Windows build # to 5 (see new BUILDno.txt). 2000-09-07 08:37:37 +00:00
Tim Peters 553d2a5dc4 Windows installer, reflecting changes that went into a replacement 2.0b1
.exe that will show up on PythonLabs.com later today:
    Include the Lib\xml\ package (directory + subdirectories).
    Include the Lib\lib-old\ directory.
    Include the Lib\test\*.xml test cases (well, just one now).
    Remove the redundant install of Lib\*.py (looks like a stray duplicate
        line that's been there a long time).  Because of this, the new
        installer is a little smaller despite having more stuff in it.
