added all the telnet options known to arpa/telnet.h
added all the options registered with IANA as of today
added the possibility for the user to have it's own option negotiation callback
This patch is similar to that proposed by Jeremy. The proposed patch altered
the interface of TestResult such that it would be passed the error
information as a string rather than an exc_info() tuple.
The implemented change leaves the interface untouched so that TestResults
are still passed the tracebacks, but stor them in stringified form for
later reporting.
Notes:
- Custom subclasses of TestResult written by users should be unaffected.
- The existing 'unittestgui.py' will still work with this module after the
change.
- Support can later be added to pop into the debugger when an error occurs;
this support should be added to a TestRunner rather than to TestCase itself,
which this change will enable.

1. That seeking beyond the end of a file increases the size of a file.
2. That files so extended are magically filled with null bytes.
I find no support for either in the C std, and #2 in particular turns out
not to be true on Win32 (you apparently see whatever trash happened to be
on disk). Left #1 intact, but changed the test to check only bytes it
explicitly wrote. Also fiddled the "expected" vs "got" failure reports
to consistently use repr (%r) -- they weren't readable otherwise.
Curious: the MS docs say stati64 etc are supported even on Win95, but
Win95 doesn't support a filesystem that allows partitions > 2 Gb.
test_largefile: This was opening its test file in text mode. I have no
idea how that worked under Win64, but it sure needs binary mode on Win98.
BTW, on Win98 test_largefile runs quickly (under a second).
While not even documented, they were clearly part of the C API,
there's no great difficulty to support them, and it has the cool
effect of not requiring any changes to ExtensionClass.c.
requires that errno ever get set, and it looks like glibc is already
playing that game. New rules:
+ Never use HUGE_VAL. Use the new Py_HUGE_VAL instead.
+ Never believe errno. If overflow is the only thing you're interested in,
use the new Py_OVERFLOWED(x) macro. If you're interested in any libm
errors, use the new Py_SET_ERANGE_IF_OVERFLOW(x) macro, which attempts
to set errno the way C89 said it worked.
Unfortunately, none of these are reliable, but they work on Windows and I
*expect* under glibc too.
fullblown drag and drop application. To my surprise it is starting
to work already: Python actually executes a script dropped on it.
To be done:
- Make sure this still works in MacPython
- Don't lose argv[0] in the process
- Applet support
32 characters per component. This makes mkdir() calls and such fail with EINVAL.
For now I am disabling the test on the Mac, and I'll open a bugreport.
I don't know what difference it makes, but '/' indeed makes less sense
as an include dir than '.', so I'm changing the default. Just so I
can close the bug. ;-)
I believe this works on Linux (tested both on a system with large file
support and one without it), and it may work on Solaris 2.7.
The changes are twofold:
(1) The configure script now boldly tries to set the two symbols that
are recommended (for Solaris and Linux), and then tries a test
script that does some simple seeking without writing.
(2) The _portable_{fseek,ftell} functions are a little more systematic
in how they try the different large file support options: first
try fseeko/ftello, but only if off_t is large; then try
fseek64/ftell64; then try hacking with fgetpos/fsetpos.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The meaning of the
HAVE_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT macro is not at all clear.
I'll see if I can get it to work on Windows as well.
bdist_wininst doesn't use the NT SCHEME any more, instead
a custom SCHEME is used, which is exchanged at installation
time, depending on the python version used.
Avoid a bogus warning frpom install_lib about installing
into a directory not on sys.path.
