Here is what I've hacked together over some spare time
at the weekend. I would appreciate feedback, as I've told
before I'm neither a great author, nor native english speaker,
nor anything else.
Mostly I've completed (and written) docs for bdist_wininst
(where I'm an experert for), also I've started some stuff
for the data_files and scripts option.
Should I continue in this way? Would others like to jump in?
the symbol table pass. These blocks were already ignored by the code
gen pass. Both passes must visit the same set of blocks in the same
order.
Fixes SF buf 132820
New method; this is the "alternate" access to the exception code.
(Useful for Python DOM implementations that support the accessor
method approach to retrieving attribute values.)
--bitmap command line option allows to use a different bitmap file instead
of the build-in python powered logo.
--title lets you specify the text to display on the background.
The editbox in the first screen now longer is
selected (highlighted), it had the WS_TABSTOP flag.
This is the patch
http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103687&group_id=5470
with two changes:
1. No messagebox displayed when the compilation to .pyc or .pyo files
failes, this will only confuse the user (and it will fail under certain
cases, where sys.path contains garbage).
2. A debugging print statement was removed from bdist_wininst.py.
and also takes the sys.platform name into account. This helps on
platforms where there are multiple possible compiler backends (the
one with which Python itself was compiled is preferred over others
in this case).
The patch uses this new technique to enable using cygwin compiler
per default for cygwin compiled Pythons.

Compile shared object files using -fPIC option when using GCC on Solaris (SF
patch #103865). Closes bug #132783. Move config.c generated by makesetup to
the Modules directory.
They're actually complaining about something more specific, an assignment
in a lambda as an actual argument, so that Python parses the
lambda as if it were a keyword argument. Like f(lambda x: x[0]=42).
The "lambda x: x[0]" part gets parsed as if it were a keyword, being
bound to 42, and the resulting error msg didn't make much sense.
value for it, as suggested in bug #129854. This prevents an old
PYTHONPATH confusing setup.py (say, if it results in Python finding
an old version of the Distutils)
