2000-10-03 15:16:31 +00:00
5f84c9b55e
$OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON: Don't define here; simply defining it overrides a
...
definition provided by previously loaded configuration code, and
testing whether it's defined isn't needed since the default was
false anyway.
get_link_icon(): Add support for $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_HEIGHT and
$OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_WIDTH, giving the dimensions of the icon
being used. This can make for faster page display. Both are
optional.
make_my_titlegraphic(): Fix insertion of the off-site icon link.
do_env_funcdesc(): Remove debugging print.
handle_rfclike_reference(): Remove trailing colon from first line; it
doesn't really make sense and looks bad if we add an icon to
mark off-site links.

Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects:

This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize()
...
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.
The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890 .
As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.
