fix the hangs on Win98SE when starting IDLE via "python" from a DOS box,
but did appear to make them harder to provoke. I closed that bug report
as being hopeless (and if someone wants to open it again, don't dare
assign it to me again <0.1 wink>).
Tools/idle, in both source and destination. (There are still problems
when running the IDLE icon, but they don't seem to have to do with the
installer.)
This file isn't meant to be executed, it's data input for test_tokenize.py.
The problem with the .py extension is that it uses "non-standard"
indentation, and it's good to test that, but reindent.py keeps wanting
to fix it. But fixing the indentation causes the expected-output file to
change, since exact line and column numbers are part of the
tokenize.tokenize() output getting tested.
After removing that, two testers on machines where C: is not the system
drive reported that the installer suggested their system drive instead
of C:, and that's what they wanted it to do.
PC/python_nt.rc sets up the DLL version resource (displayed when you
right-click on the DLL and select Properties).
PCbuld/python20.wse sets up the installer version resource (displayed
when you right-click on the installer .exe and select Properties). Turns
out this one hadn't been updated since 2001 <frown>!
Added the logging package. In the meantime, Neal Norwitz added a
test_logging.py to the std test suite, which would have caught this
oversight in the Windows installer.
- new import hooks in import.c, exposed in the sys module
- new module called 'zipimport'
- various changes to allow bootstrapping from zip files
I hope I didn't break the Windows build (or anything else for that
matter), but then again, it's been sitting on sf long enough...
Regarding the latest discussions on python-dev: zipimport sets
pkg.__path__ as specified in PEP 273, and likewise, sys.path item such as
/path/to/Archive.zip/subdir/ are supported again.
whether this is a correct thing to do:
+ There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt).
+ test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now.
+ test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too.
Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated
build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled
the Windows installer accordingly.
+ News blurb, but as much XXX as news.
+ Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL;
still don't know how to fold that into _bsddb.pyd).
+ Fleshed out build instructions.
+ Debug Python still blows up.
The bsddb subproject is gone.
The _bsddb subproject is new.
There are problems here, but I'm out of time to work on this now. If
anyone can address an XXX comment or two in readme.txt, please do!
