Guido van Rossum 5a2ca9328d Checking in a bunch of spawn functions. These are only defined if we
have fork and execv (and friends) but not spawnv.  They operate
exactly like the spawn functions on Windows.  A limited set of needed
constants is also defined (P_WAIT, P_NOWAIT etc.).

Also add getenv() as a familiar alias for environ.get().

class instance, include the class attributes in the list of possible
expansions.

methods.

Jack Jansen 32a15adeab MrC also needs BAD_STATIC_FORWARD define. 1999-10-26 09:25:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 25da5bebd8 Fix PR117. The error message is "keywords must be strings". Perhaps
not as descriptive as what Barry suggests, but this also catches the
(in my opinion important) case where some other C code besides apply()
constructs a kwdict that doesn't have the right format.  All the other
possibilities of getting it wrong (non-dict, wrong keywords etc) are
already caught so this makes sense to check here.

Greg Ward e1ada50559 Don't assume GNU tar -- generate tar file and compress in separate steps.
Now supports the full range of intended formats (tar, ztar, gztar, zip).
"-f" no longer a short option for "--formats" -- conflicts with new
  global option "--force"!

Fred Drake d6512808f0 Module/script to parse the reference count data file and make the
information accessible to Python.

When run as a script, just dumps the information back out in the data
format, with functions in sorted order and a blank line between
different functions.

Still need to apply the information somehow.

Fred Drake 805bf1b330 Added note that Skip created the initial version of this file.

Guido van Rossum 910d9a0634 Test output.
(XXX perhaps a bit too verbose; in particular it is sensitive to
all the doc strings.)

Guido van Rossum fdecda0123 Rewritten -- this now tests the binascii *except* for the binhex
module, which is tested by test_binhex.py.
1999-10-19 19:08:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a0e85b241d Test output for test_binhex.py. 1999-10-19 19:07:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2db4f47fdd Patch by Jason Trowbridge. (Followup to his PR#110.) (Slightly
reformatted.)

- Illegal padding is now ignored.  (Recommendation by GvR.)

- Padding no longer removes characters from data string (resulting in
lost data/strings with negative lengths).

- Illegal characters outside the ASCII range are now ignored, instead
of possibly being remapped to a valid character.
1999-10-19 19:05:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7b8f1abfca This test really only tests the binhex module.
Renamed it and adapted a comment and an error message.

Jeremy Hylton 88d23309e9 print a warning if the password will be echoed.
At import time, getpass will be bound to the appropriate
platform-specific function.  If the platform's echo-disabler is not
available, default_getpass, which prints the warning, will be used

Guido van Rossum f8d8e07601 Fixed PR#106: winfo_visualsavailable() with the includeids=1 option

supported.  Pointed out by Moshe Zadka <moshez@math.huji.ac.il>.
1999-10-18 13:43:44 +00:00
Fred Drake 40e84db0f4 Based on comments from Paul Prescod:
If os.fork() doesn't exist, raise SystemError with an explanation at
the top of the module.  Added a note to the module docstring.
