I'm not sure this is the best approach, but I can't think of anything better.
If this creates problems, feel free to revert, but I think it's safe and
should make things a little better.
target. Until now users had to use 'make frameworkinstall'
to install python when it is configured with '--enable-framework'.
This tends to confuse users that don't hunt for readme files
hidden in platform specific directories :-)
* Don't use xcodebuild for building PythonLauncher, but use a normal unix
makefile. This makes it a lot easier to use the same build flags as for the
rest of python (e.g. make a universal version of python launcher)
* Convert the mac makefile-s to makefile.in-s and use configure to set makefile
variables instead of forwarding them as command-line arguments
* Add a C version of pythonw, that we you can use '#!/usr/local/bin/pythonw'
* Build IDLE.app using bundlebuilder instead of BuildApplet, that will allow
easier modification of the bundle contents later on.
Subversion revision number.
First, in an svn export, there will be no .svn directory, so use an in-file
$Revision$ keyword string with the keyword chrome stripped off.
Also, use $(srcdir) in the Makefile.pre.in to handle the case where Python is
build outside the source tree.
Add C API function Py_GetBuildNumber(), add it to the interactive prompt
banner (i.e. Py_GetBuildInfo()), and add it as the sys.build_number
attribute. The build number is a string instead of an int because it may
contain a trailing 'M' if there are local modifications.
This change implements a new bytecode compiler, based on a
transformation of the parse tree to an abstract syntax defined in
Parser/Python.asdl.
The compiler implementation is not complete, but it is in stable
enough shape to run the entire test suite excepting two disabled
tests.
POSIX is enabled. This prevents the toolbox glue, all of Carbon,
and various other non-POSIX features from compiling. The POSIX
symbols are still used by default, so turning off the #define
doesn't hurt.
Additionally, linker flags have changed for Darwin 8, and are
different for Darwin 8/gcc4 (default) and Darwin 8/gcc3.3.

directories) and the include directories specified in CPPFLAGS (``-I``
directories) for compiling the extension modules.
This has led to the core being compiled with the values in the shell's
CPPFLAGS. It has also removed the need for special casing to use Fink and
DarwinPorts under darwin since the needed directories can now be specified in
LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS (e.g., DarwinPorts users can now do
``LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib; CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include; ./configure`` for
everything to work properly).
Parsing the values in the environment variables is done with getopt. While optparse
would have been a nicer solution it cannot be used because of dependency issues
at execution time; optparse uses gettext which uses struct which will not have
been compiled when the code is imported. If optparse ever makes its
importation of gettext optional by catching ImportError and setting _() to an
identity function then it can be used.
of hard linking against the framework).
If $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set, and >= 10.3, during configure we
setup extensions to link with dynamic lookup. We also record the
value in the Makefile.
Distutils checks whether a value for MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET was
recorded in the Makefile, and if it was insists that the current
value matches.
This is only a partial fix because it only applies to 2.4, and the
"two python problem" exists with Python 2.3 shipped with MacOSX 10.3,
which we have no influence over.
* Install the unittests, docs, newsitem, include file, and makefile update.
* Exercise the new functions whereever sets.py was being used.
Includes the docs for libfuncs.tex. Separate docs for the types are
forthcoming.
