library search path to include the extension directory. Without this,
the curses_panel extension can't find the curses extension/DLL, which
exports some curses symbols to it.
- new import hooks in import.c, exposed in the sys module
- new module called 'zipimport'
- various changes to allow bootstrapping from zip files
I hope I didn't break the Windows build (or anything else for that
matter), but then again, it's been sitting on sf long enough...
Regarding the latest discussions on python-dev: zipimport sets
pkg.__path__ as specified in PEP 273, and likewise, sys.path item such as
/path/to/Archive.zip/subdir/ are supported again.
paren. This was there to worm around a stupid XEmacs bug, but since I
can't tickle the bug in newer XEmacsen (just tried w/21.4.5) it's
possible the problem has been fixed. We shouldn't have to be working
around editor bugs anyway.
If it crops up again, I'll report it (again) to the XEmacs crowd.
- Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled
- check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions
- disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions
- add the types.StringTypes list
- remove Unicode literals from most tests.
is complete: recompute _dirs_in_sys_path each time these functions are
entered after module initialization is complete, and reset before
returning to user code.
This closes SF patch #442983.
Fix showstopper SF bug #442983: use of site.addsitedir() was broken
because it references the global dirs_in_sys_path which is deleted.
The fix avoids deleting that global.

Change 1: Not all 'modules' in sys.modules have a
sensible __file__ attribute. Some of our java package
can have the __file__ attribute set to None.
Change 2: In jython we have the jython license file in
<root> and the CPython license file in <root>/Lib. By
reversing the search sequence jython will find and
show the jython license file before the CPython file.
Closes SF patch #405853.
created by Andrew's setup.py script, *if* we're actually running from
the build directory. (The test for that: whether the sys.path[-1]
ends in "/Modules".)
This has one disadvantage: it imports a fair amount of code from the
distutils package, just in order to be able to calculate the correct
pathname. See if I care. :-)
1. repr(license) will no longer print to stdout and read from stdin;
you have to use license(). `license` is a short message explaining
this.
2. Use lazy initialization so that startup isn't slowed down by the
search for the LICENSE file.
3. repr(license) actually returns the desired string, rather than
printing to stdout and returning ''. (Why didn't we think of this
before?)
4. Use the pythonlabs license URL as the license fallback instead of
the CNRI license handle.
