function vs. exec statement
* bltinmodule.c: renamed the module to __builtin__.
* posixmodule.c (posix_execv): renamed exec --> execv since it is now a
reserved word.
no longer done by config.c).
* stdwinmodule.c (initstdwin), config.c (initall): get command line
arguments from sys.argv instead of special-casing stdwin in config.c
* import.c (get_module): fix core dump when foomodule.o does not define
initfoo().
* ChangeLog: documented changes by Sjoerd.
without .py file); Bill's dynamic loading for SunOS using shared
libraries.
pwdmodule.c (mkgrent): remove DECREF of uninitialized variable.
classobject.c (instance_getattr): Fix case when class lookup returns
unbound method instead of function.
image objects, and lots of new methods.
* Added counting of allocations and deallocations of builtin types if
COUNT_ALLOCS is defined. Had to move calls to NEWREF down in some
files.
* Bug fix in sorting lists.
* Makefile: change location of FORMS library.
* posixmodule.c: turn #if 0 into #ifdef MSDOS (stuff in unistd.h or not)
* Almost all .h files: added CPP magic to avoid duplicate inclusions and
to support inclusion from C++.
* timemodule.c: change #ifdef TURBO_C into #ifdef MSDOS
* posixmodule.c: MSDOS changes by Marcel van der Peijl (Digicash)
* stropmodule.c: use C isspace(c) to test for whitespace; add
whitespace, lowercase and uppercase variables to the module.
* many files: made some functions static; removed "extern int errno;".
* frozenmain.c: fixed bugs introduced on 24 June...
* flmodule.c: remove 1.5 bw compat hacks, add new functions in 2.2a
(and some old functions that were omitted).
* timemodule.c: added MSDOS floatsleep version .
* pgenmain.c: changed exit() to goaway() and added defn of goaway().
* intrcheck.c: add hack (to UNIX only) so interrupting 3 times
will exit from a hanging program. The second interrupt prints
a message explaining this to the user.
(the latter also in frozenmain.c)
* ceval.c: global 'killprint' flag raises exception when printing an
expression statement's value (useful for finding stray output)
* timemodule.c: add asctime() and ctime(). Change julian date to
1-based origin (as intended and documented).
* Removed unused DO_TIMES stuff from timemodule.c. Added 'epoch' and
'day0' globals (year where time.time() == 0 and day of the week the
epoch started).
Added $(SYSDEF) to its build rule in Makefile.
* cgensupport.[ch], modsupport.[ch]: removed some old stuff. Also
changed files that still used it... And made several things static
that weren't but should have been... And other minor cleanups...
* listobject.[ch]: add external interfaces {set,get}listslice
* socketmodule.c: fix bugs in new send() argument parsing.
* sunaudiodevmodule.c: added flush() and close().
function found as instance data.
* socketmodule.c: added 'flags' argument sendto/recvfrom, rewrite
argument parsing in send/recv.
* More changes related to access (terminology change: owner instead of
class; allow any object as owner; local/global variables are owned
by their dictionary, only class/instance data is owned by the class;
"from...import *" now only imports objects with public access; etc.)
lookup (opcode.h, ceval.[ch], compile.c, frameobject.[ch],
pythonrun.c, import.c). The .pyc MAGIC number is changed again.
Added get_menu_text to flmodule.
* Stubs for faster implementation of local variables (not yet finished)
* Added function name to code object. Print it for code and function
objects. THIS MAKES THE .PYC FILE FORMAT INCOMPATIBLE (the version
number has changed accordingly)
* Print address of self for built-in methods
* New internal functions getattro and setattro (getattr/setattr with
string object arg)
* Replaced "dictobject" with more powerful "mappingobject"
* New per-type functio tp_hash to implement arbitrary object hashing,
and hashobject() to interface to it
* Added built-in functions hash(v) and hasattr(v, 'name')
* classobject: made some functions static that accidentally weren't;
added __hash__ special instance method to implement hash()
* Added proper comparison for built-in methods and functions
* Fixcprt.py: added [-y file] option, do only files younger than file.
* modsupport.[ch]: added vmkvalue().
* intobject.c: use mkvalue().

ceval.c: call formatstring for string % value.
* longobject.c: close memory leak in divmod.
* parsetok.c: set result node to NULL when returning an error.
accordingly: SetMin, SetMax, SetDefault are no longer methods of the
compressor/decompressor but are functions of the cl module and they
take a first argument which is a compression scheme
way); more efficiently check whether parameters are float; removed
one argument from DecompressImage method; use clGetParam instead of
clGetParams where it makes sense; convert int parameters in
SetParams, SetParam, SetMin, SetMax, and SetDefault to float when
needed; added QuerySchemeFromHandle method
* Makefile: interchanged cstubs and cgen.py so that $> in rule gets
them in the right order
listfontnames, bitmap ops.
* listobject.c: use mkvalue() when possible; avoid weird error when
calling append() without args.
* modsupport.c: new feature in getargs(): if the format string
contains a semicolor the string after that is used as the error
message instead of "bad argument list (format %s)" when there's an
error.
* various modules: added 1993 to copyright.
* thread.c: added copyright notice.
* ceval.c: minor change to error message for "+"
* stdwinmodule.c: check for error from wfetchcolor
* config.c: MS-DOS fixes (define PYTHONPATH, use DELIM, use osdefs.h)
* Add declaration of inittab to import.h
* sysmodule.c: added sys.builtin_module_names
* xxmodule.c, xxobject.c: fix minor errors
stdwinmodule.c: wsetfont can now return an error
Makefile: add CL_USE and CL_LIB*S; config.c: move CL part around
New things in imgfile; also in Makefile.
longobject.c: fix comparison of negative long ints... [REAL BUG!]
marshal.c: add dumps() and loads() to read/write strings
timemodule.c: make sure there's always a floatsleep()
posixmodule.c: rationalize struct returned by times()
Makefile: add test target, disable imgfile by default
thread.c: Improved coexistance with dl module (sjoerd)
stdwinmodule.c: Change include stdwin.h if macintosh
rotormodule.c: added missing last argument to RTR_?_region calls
confic.c: merged with configmac.c, added 1993 to copyright message
fileobject.c: int compared to NULL in writestring(); change fopenRF ifdef
timemodule.c: simplify times() using mkvalue; include myselect.h
earlier (for sequent).
posixmodule: for sequent, include unistd.h instead of explicit
extern definitions and don't define rename()
Makefile: change misleading/wrong MD5 comments
* ceval.c: use #ifdef COMPAT_HACKS instead of #if 0
* Makefile: fix to make clmodule.c compile;
make config.o dependent on libpython.a (so date is always correct)
* timemodule.c: now sleep() also takes a float argument.
* posixmodule.c: added nice().
* Makefile: svmodule.c.proto and svgen.py are gone, svmodule.c came in
their stead. Also, pass -DUSE_DL flag to thread.c and give
the user a possibility to add the -DDEBUG to just thread.c.
* ceval.c: init_save_thread() can be called more than once now.
* svgen.py, svmodule.c.proto, svmodule.c: Removed prototype file and
replaced it by the generated file.
* thread.c: Added some more checks; added call to DL library when it
is also used to tell it where the shared arena is so that DL
can use some other area.
* threadmodule.c: Call init_save_thread from another place. Also,
added new function getlocklock() which does to lock objects
what getfilefile does to file objects.
* posixmodule.c: move extern function declarations to top
* listobject.c: cmp() arguments must be void* if __STDC__
* Makefile, allobjects.h, panelmodule.c, modsupport.c: get rid of
strdup() -- it is a portability risk
* Makefile: enclosed ranlib command in parentheses for Sequent Make
which aborts if the command is not found even if '-' is present
* timemodule.c: time() returns a floating point number, in microsecond
precision if BSD_TIME is defined.
return NULL for malloc(0) or realloc(p, 0). (This should be done
differently than wasting one byte, but alas...)
* Moved "add'l libraries" option in Makefile to an earlier place.
* Remove argument compatibility hacks (b) and (c).
* Add grey2mono, dither2mono and mono2grey to imageop.
* Dup the fd in socket.fromfd().
* Added new modules mpz, md5 (by JH, requiring GNU MP 1.2). Affects
Makefile and config.c.
* socketmodule.c: added socket.fromfd(fd, family, type, [proto]),
converted socket() to use of getargs().
* flmodule.c: added {do,check}_only_forms to fl's list of functions;
and don't print a message when an unknown object is returned.
* pythonrun.c: catch SIGHUP and SIGTERM to do essential cleanup.
* Made jpegmodule.c smaller by using getargs() and mkvalue() consistently.
* Increased parser stack size to 500 in parser.h.
* Implemented custom allocation of stack frames to frameobject.c and
added dynamic stack overflow checks (value stack only) to ceval.c.
(There seems to be a bug left: sometimes stack traces don't make sense.)
- merged CloseCompressor and CloseDecompressor into one function
- keep existing errors in error function (for exceptions raised in the
Compress or Decompress callback functions)
- remove newline from error string generated by error function
- allocate less memory when compressing multiple frames
- keep existing errors when clCompress or clDecompress fails
- raise an exception when compressed data doesn't fit within
dataMaxSize bytes
- allocate frameSize bytes for decompression buffer instead of
dataMaxSize
- use mkvalue more often
- new function QueryParams which will accept CL.AUDIO and CL.VIDEO
args
- changed some function names
module by editing Makefile and config.c in all the right places.
Used it to add most modules currently known. Added markers to help
the script to Makefile and config.c.
* flmodule.c: added some missing functions; changed readonly flags of
some data members based upon FORMS documentation.
* listobject.c: fixed int/long arg lint bug (bites PC compilers).
* several: removed redundant print methods (repr is good enough).
* posixmodule.c: added (still experimental) process group functions.
* socketmodule.c: get rid of makepair(); fix makesocketaddr to fix
broken recvfrom()
* socketmodule: get rid of getStrarg()
* ceval.h: move eval_code() to new file eval.h, so compile.h is no
longer needed.
* ceval.c: move thread comments to ceval.h; always make save/restore
thread functions available (for dynloaded modules)
* cdmodule.c, listobject.c: don't include compile.h
* flmodule.c: include ceval.h
* import.c: include eval.h instead of ceval.h
* cgen.py: add forground(); noport(); winopen(""); to initgl().

* pythonmain.c: don't include getpythonpath().
* pythonrun.c: use BGN/END SAVE instead of direct calls; also more
BGN/END SAVE calls etc.
* thread.c: bigger stack size for sun; change exit() to _exit()
* threadmodule.c: use BGN/END SAVE macros where possible
* timemodule.c: adapt better to threads; use BGN/END SAVE; add
longsleep internal function if BSD_TIME; cosmetics
