Fred Drake 8dd6ffd0ec User-defined methods *can* contain things other than user-defined functions
as the callable, so use more flexible language.

Fred Drake 51629c245a Add a caveat about boundary conditions and RE concatenation, so that the
documents do not make an overly-strong assertion about the properties of
RE concatenation.

Add an example of RE{m,} syntax and what it will and will not match.

Tim Peters 60515573ba Repair more ways in which the "backup files" dialog differed from all the
others (wrong title, inconsistent layout).  Also tried to make the dialog
text clearer, and spelled out what the "yes" and "no" buttons *mean*.

re.sub().
This closes SF bug #446136.

Fixed description of RE modifiers so that RE{#} and RE{#,} are more
clearly described and disambiguated (plain RE{#} had not been described
at all).  Reported by Jeremy Craven via email.

Tim Peters 5a99e0ca0c We always wrote a pair of lines to the Wise install.log telling it to
delete the Tools and Lib directories at uninstall time.  However,
under the old version of Wise, they didn't actually do anything.  Under
the new version, they work as advertised, and even delete files users
added.
Got rid of those, and replaced them with similar uninstall cmds that
get rid of all .pyc and .pyo files (whether or not the installer created
them).  This works nicely!  It still tears down the directory structure,
except for those directories needed to get to any non-.pyc/o file(s) the
user may have added.
2001-08-01 06:29:56 +00:00
Tim Peters b8b3291152 Hmm. The Backup/Replace dialog also had back/next buttons three pixels
narrower than all the other Wise dialogs, and offset by a few pixels in
the vertical direction too.  Made these things consistent across dialogs
too.

Tim Peters bbeb69e357 Aha! Finally figured out something else that's been driving me nuts:
turns out the canned new "backup directory" dialog put its "back" and
"next" buttons at a different relative horizontal position than all the
other canned dialogs.  This explains why you had to keep moving the
mouse around if you wanted to do a straight all-default install -- the
Next button kept moving around.  Now the back/next buttons are in exactly
the same place on all dialogs, and you can click straight thru to the end.

Tim Peters 4951a980ad The "Select Destination Directory" dialog didn't ask for confirmation
about installing into a pre-existing directory *unless* you hit the
Browse button first.  At least while testing, this screwed me repeatedly.
Plus I really liked the Inno Setup scheme of giving you a list box in
its "select directory" dialog without needing a distinct browse button
to ask for that.

So I redid this dialog from scratch:  now gives a list box at once, the
browse button is gone, it asks for confirmation if the directory already
exists, and, since this is the first dialog in the set now, also removed
its "Back" button.

assure that extensions and interpreters using the Unicode APIs
were compiled using the same Unicode width.

Marc-André Lemburg e5006ebc9d This patch turns the Python API mismatch notice into a standard
Python warning which can be catched by means of the Python warning
framework.

It also adds two new APIs which hopefully make it easier for Python
to switch to buffer overflow safe [v]snprintf() APIs for error
reporting et al. The two new APIs are PyOS_snprintf() and
PyOS_vsnprintf() and work just like the standard ones in many
C libs. On platforms which have snprintf(), the native APIs are used,
on all other an emulation with snprintf() tries to do its best.
