The patch includes code that says:
+ Copyright (C) 1986 Gary S. Brown. You may use this program, or
+ code or tables extracted from it, as desired without restriction.
My interpretation (and Jim's) is that Gary S Brown has no claims under
copyright, patent or other rights or interests. Lawyers might disagree.
only. Through some mysterious interaction, they would take 9 separate
arguments as well. This misfeature is now disabled (to end a
difference with JPython).
building the dicts used to inform the user about the defined
constants when using the *conf*() APIs.
Thanks to Mark Hammond <mhammond@skippinet.com.au>.
strings to integers for the *conf*() functions.
Added code to sort the tables at module initialization. Three
dictionaries, confstr_names, sysconf_names, and pathconf_names, are
added to the module as well. These map known configuration setting
names to the numeric value which is used to represent the setting in
the system call. This code is always called.
Updated related comments.
pathconf() names, from Sjoerd.
Added code to verify that these tables are properly ordered, only
included and used when CHECK_CONFNAME_TABLES is defined. This is only
needed to test the tables, so I haven't enabled this by default.
available since the interface is poorly defined on at least one major
platform (Solaris).
Moved table of constant names for fpathconf() & pathconf() into the
conditional that defines the conv_path_confname() helper; Mark Hammond
reported that defining the table when none of the constants were
defined causes the compiler to complain (won't allow 0-length array,
imagine that!).
In posix_fpathconf(), use conv_path_confname() as the O& conversion
function, instead of the conv_confname() helper, which has the wrong
signature (posix_pathconf() already used the right thing).
and TMP_MAX.
Converted all functions that used PyArg_Parse() or PyArg_NoArgs() to
use PyArg_ParseTuple() and specified all function names using the
:name syntax in the format strings, to allow better error messages
when TypeError is raised for parameter type mismatches.

new:
readline.get_begidx() -> int
gets the beginning index in the command line string
delimiting the tab-completion scope. This would
probably be used from within a tab-completion
handler
readline.get_endidx() -> int
gets the ending index in the command line string
delimiting the tab-completion scope. This would
probably be used from within a tab-compeltion
handler
readline.set_completer_delims(string) -> None
sets the delimiters used by readline as word breakpoints
for tab-completion
readline.get_completer_delims() -> string
gets the delimiters used by readline as word breakpoints
for tab-completion
fixed:
readline.get_line_buffer() -> string
doesnt cause a debug message every other call
simply moves the call to Tk_MainWindow() after the Tcl/Tk
initialization calls. The patch is unconditional, it works with
earlier and later versions as well.
reformatted.)
- Illegal padding is now ignored. (Recommendation by GvR.)
- Padding no longer removes characters from data string (resulting in
lost data/strings with negative lengths).
- Illegal characters outside the ASCII range are now ignored, instead
of possibly being remapped to a valid character.
the right variant of gethostbyname_r for us, since not all Linuxes are
equal in this respect. Reported by Laurent Pointal.
(2) On BeOS, Chris Herborth reports that instead of arpa/inet.h you
must include net/netdb.h to get the inet_ntoa() and inet_addr()
prototypes.
names match the documentation.
Removed broken code that supports the __methods__ attribute on ast
objects; the right magic was added to Py_FindMethod() since this was
originally written. <ast-object>.__methods__ now works, so dir() and
rlcompleter are happy.
Treat them as read-only, and make a copy as appropriately. This was
first reported by Bill Janssend and later by Craig Rowland and Ron
Sedlmeyer. This fix is mine.

It fixes a memory corruption error resulting from BadPickleGet
exceptions in load_get, load_binget and load_long_binget. This was
initially reported on c.l.py as a problem with Cookie.py; see the thread
titled "python core dump (SIGBUS) on Solaris" for more details.
If PyDict_GetItem(self->memo, py_key) call failed, then py_key was being
Py_DECREF'd out of existence before call was made to
PyErr_SetObject(BadPickleGet, py_key).
The bug can be duplicated as follows:
import cPickle
cPickle.loads('garyp')
This raises a BadPickleGet exception whose value is a freed object. A
core dump will soon follow.

different values in the environ dict with the same key (although he
couldn't explain exactly how this came to be). Since getenv() uses
the first one, Python should do too. (Some doubts about case
sensitivity, but for now this at least seems the right thing to do
regardless of platform.)
- Don't call Py_FatalError() when initialization fails.
- Fix bogus use of return value from PyRun_String().
- Fix misc. compiler errors on some platforms.
I've updated cPickle.c to use class exceptions:
Changed pickle error types to classes:
PickleError
PicklingError
UnpickleableError
UnpicklingError
And change the handling of unpickleable objects so that an UnpickleableError
is raised with the unpickleable object as the argument. UnpickleableError
has a reasonable string representation and provides access to the problem
object, which is useful during debugging.
[I'm still waiting for patches to do the same to pickle.py.]
