AGREEMENT VERSION 1.
trade name -> trade names.
Note: depending on community feedback, we may end up taking the dual
licensing clause out for 2.0b1, and put it back into 2.0final, if
there's no other solution for assuring GPL compatibility by then.
See my message to python-dev and license-py20.
This was a funny one! The test very subtly relied on 1.5.2's
behavior of treating "\x%" as "\x%", i.e. ignoring that was an
\x escape that didn't make sense. But /F implemented PEP 223,
which causes 2.0 to raise an exception on the bad escape.
Fixed by merely making the 3 such strings of this kind into
raw strings.
can cause it to get called by multiple threads simultaneously.
Ditto for PyInterpreterState_Delete.
Of the former, the docs say "The interpreter lock need not be held, but may
be held if it is necessary to serialize calls to this function". This
kinda implies it both is and isn't thread-safe.
Of the latter, the docs merely say "The interpreter lock need not be
held.", and the clause about serializing is absent.
I expect it was *believed* these are both thread-safe, and the bit about
serializing via the global lock was meant as a permission rather than a
caution.
I also expect we've never seen a problem here because the Python core
(prior to the _PyPclose fix) only calls these functions once per run.
The Py_NewInterpreter subsystem exposed by the C API (but not used by
Python itself) also calls them, but that subsystem appears to be very
rarely used.
Whatever, they're both thread-safe now.
newlines at the start or end. Fiddle test_popen2 and popen2._test() to
tolerate this. Also change all "assert"s in these tests to raise
explicit exceptions, so that python -O doesn't render them useless.
Also, in case of error, make the msg display the reprs of what we
wrote and what we read, so we can tell exactly why it's failing.
Fix import support to work with import as variant of Python 2.0. The
grammar for import changed, requiring changes in transformer and code
generator, even to handle compilation of imports with as.
very late in the process when running on Windows 2000 without admim
privs. Rearranged so that the admin check is done at the start
instead. Added words to the end of the blurb to make it very clear
how to abort the install (wasn't obvious to me that "Cancel" was
the right thing to click).
