[ 960406 ] unblock signals in threads
although the changes do not correspond exactly to any patch attached to
that report.
Non-main threads no longer have all signals masked.
A different interface to readline is used.
The handling of signals inside calls to PyOS_Readline is now rather
different.
These changes are all a bit scary! Review and cross-platform testing
much appreciated.
of hard linking against the framework).
If $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set, and >= 10.3, during configure we
setup extensions to link with dynamic lookup. We also record the
value in the Makefile.
Distutils checks whether a value for MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET was
recorded in the Makefile, and if it was insists that the current
value matches.
This is only a partial fix because it only applies to 2.4, and the
"two python problem" exists with Python 2.3 shipped with MacOSX 10.3,
which we have no influence over.
two framework builds (in /Library and /System/Library) to coexist
with distutils linking against the right one.
Should be backported to 2.3, but getting Apple-supplied Python to pick
up these fixes is going to be non-trivial.
Cygwin's pthread_sigmask() implementation appears to be buggy. This
patch works around this problem by using sigprocmask() instead.
This patch is implemented in a general way so it could be used by other
platforms too. If this approach is deemed too risky, then I can work up
a patch that just hacks Python/thread_pthread.h for Cygwin.
Note that I tested this patch against 2.3c1 under Red Hat Linux 8.0 too.

And finally, I need someone to regenerate pyconfig.h.in and configure
with the same versions of the autotools that are normally used by
Python.
Neal kindly regenerated pyconfig.h.in and configure for me.
- In the top level Makefile, the argument to -install_name should be
prepended with /System/Library/Frameworks/, so it is an absolute path.
- In the top level Makefile, because of 2), RUNSHARED needs to be set to
DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=<path to local framework> and $(RUNSHARED) prepended
to the $(MAKE) lines in the frameworkinstallmaclib and
frameworkinstallapps targets.
scope of the _XOPEN_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE symbols, including:
- getloadavg()
- typedefs for u_int, u_long, u_char, u_short, ushort & uint
These are now all defined under the control of a __BSD_VISIBLE symbol.
The lack of the typedefs causes several extension modules to build
incorrectly or not at all, and is the cause of failures reported for
test_socket and test_tempfile on this platform
(see python-dev: 29/6/03, pieterb@gewis.nl, "Running tests on freebsd5")
This change does not appear to be needed in the 2.2 branch.
