Guido van Rossum f19a7ac220 Fix a few problems with the _Printer class and the license variable.
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.

Fred Drake 38cb9f1f17 Convert all entries on sys.path to absolute paths, and also update the
__file__ attributes of already-imported modules to be absolute.  This helps
robustify the interpreter against os.chdir() calls from the application.

Only remove setdefaultencoding() from sys if it exists; if this module is
run as a script (since there is a _test() function that gets run), it broke
because the script attempts to remove it again after the import of site
has already done so.  This allows the module to be run as a script again.

makepath():  New function, standardizes all pathname normalization in one
             place.

Marc-André Lemburg 09cad08d75 sys.setdefaultencoding() should only be called in case the standard
default encoding ("ascii") is changed. This safes quite a few cycles
during startup since the first call to .setdefaultencoding() will
initialize the codec registry and the encodings package.

See python-dev for a discussion (Subject: "[Python-Dev] [comp.lang.python] sys.setdefaultencoding (2.0b1)").

Guido van Rossum d1252395bd Add new builtin commands "copyright", "license", "credits" which
display the information you would expect them to display.

Marc-André Lemburg 990bbe90d5 Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Added support to set the default encoding of strings
at startup time to the values defined by the C locale.

The sys.setdefaultencoding() API is deleted after having
set up the encoding, so that user code cannot subsequentely
change the setting. This effectively means that only site.py
may alter the default setting.

Guido van Rossum e720176548 Wrong pathname in docstring detected by Fredrik Nehr. 1998-11-25 15:57:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d89fa0c576 Add built-in string variables 'quit' and 'exit' that display a hint on
how to exit (in a platform dependent way!).  We use os.sep to
determine which platform we're on, since I expect that this will work
better for minority platforms.

Guido van Rossum 0d8fcb233e Update the doc string to emphasize non-Unix behavior earlier;
sys.prefix is no longer empty on any platform that I know of.

Guido van Rossum ad87d3e826 Give in to Mike Meyer -- add *both* lib/python1.5/packages and
lib/site-python to the path (if they exist).  This is a reasonable
compromise.
