subset of Win32 ShellExecute's functionality. Guido wants this because
IDLE's Help -> Docs function currently crashes his machine because of a
conflict between his version of Norton AntiVirus (6.10.20) and MS's
_popen. Docs for startfile are being mailed to Fred (or just read the
docstring -- it tells the whole story).
Changed webbrowser.py to use os.startfile instead of os.popen on Windows.
Changed IDLE's EditorWindow.py to pass an absolute path for the docs
(hardcoding ShellExecute's "directory" arg to "." as used to be done let
IDLE work, but made the startfile command exceedingly obscure for other
uses -- the MS docs are terrible, of course, & still not sure I
understand it).
Note that Windows Python must link with shell32.lib now! That's where
ShellExecute lives.
The cause was that the replace code necessarily used a PCRE internal
function to to template expansion.
The fix changes the code to use an SRE internal if SRE is used, and a
PCRE internal if SRE is used; in a way that should work with 1.5.2.
The solution can be sped up tremendously under the assumption that the
choice between sre and pre is not changed during the execution of the
program; especially replace-all will be slow.
But I'll leave that to someone else.
created. This allows the application-specific Tkinter
initialization to be executed if present. Also pass an explicit
className parameter to the Tk() constructor.
This closes SourceForge bug #110618.
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.

typos, and to make command line options compatible with GNU msgfmt
where they overlap.

- fix tab space issues (SF patch #101167 by Neil Schemenauer)
- fix co_flags for classes to include CO_NEWLOCALS (SF patch #101145 by Neil)
- fix for merger of UNPACK_LIST and UNPACK_TUPLE into UNPACK_SEQUENCE,
(SF patch #101168 by, well, Neil :)
- Adjust bytecode MAGIC to current bytecode.

Note: This code is actually going to be replaced in 2.0 by /F's new
database. Until then, this patch keeps the test suite working.
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
mislabeled.
(Using -c and then -e rearranges some comments, so I won't check that
in -- but it's a good test anyway.
Note that pindent is not perfect -- e.g. it doesn't know about
triple-quoted strings!)
Problem:
A Python program can be completed and reformatted using
Tools/scripts/pindent.py. Unfortunately there is no option for removal
of the generated "# end"-tags. Although a few Python commands or a
"grep -v '# end '" can do wonders here, there are two drawbacks:
- not everyone has grep/time to write a Python script
- it is not checked whether the "# end"-tags were used validly
Solution:
add extra option "-e" (eliminate) to pindent.py
Perfect hash table generator. Outputs a Python extension module
which provides access to the hash table (which is stored in static
C data) using custom code.
This module can currently only generates code for the ucnhash
module, but can easily be adapted to produce perfect hash tables
for other tasks where fast lookup in large tables is needed.

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.
