inspect.py, and pydoc.py. Specifically, this allows for querying the type of
an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting
their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function.
This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides
definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module.
These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and
types.MemberDescriptorType. Query functions are provided as
inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor(). The
implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations
other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types.
The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates.
I commit these changes now under these guiding principles:
1. Silence is assent. The release manager has not said "no", and of the few
people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0".
2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a
forcing function. :)
Windows build patches will follow.
dylib at the root of the framework, that way tools that expect a unix-like
install (python-config, but more importantly external products like
mod_python) work correctly.
with --enable-framework
* Also for --enable-framework: allow users to use --prefix to specify
the location of the compatibility symlinks (such as /usr/local/bin/python)
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.
- In the top level Makefile, the argument to -install_name should be
prepended with /System/Library/Frameworks/, so it is an absolute path.

Also, it should now be possible to install in a different directory,

This patch fixes make install for Cygwin. Specifically,
it reverts to the previous behavior:
o install libpython$(VERSION)$(SO) in $(BINDIR)
o install $(LDLIBRARY) in $(LIBPL)
It also begins to remove Cygwin's dependency on
$(DLLLIBRARY) which I hope to take advantage of
when I attempt to make Cygwin as similar as possible
to the other Unix platforms (in other patches).
I tested this patch under Red Hat Linux 7.1 without
any ill effects.
BTW, I'm not the happiest using the following
test for Cygwin:
test "$(SO)" = .dll
I'm willing to update the patch to use:
case "$(MACHDEP)" in cygwin*
instead, but IMO that will look uglier.
OSX framework build process. Things fixed/modified:
- the filesystem case-sensitivity test now works for builds outside
the source directory
- various other fixes for building outside the source directory
- python.app now has a target in the main Makefile
- WASTE and AquaTk are found more automatically
This patch removes a vestige part of the Cygwin make rules
that didn't quite make it over during the flattening of the
Makefiles. In its current form, it creates a def file but
incorrectly calls it libpython$(VERSION).dll.a which
immediately gets overwritten by the next command.
Obviously, this is useless. It appears, it was useless
in the old nested Makefile structure too. :,)
PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.
Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.
Also move all _PyMalloc_XXX entry points into obmalloc.c.
The Windows build works fine.
The Unix build is changed here (Makefile.pre.in), but not tested.
No other platform's build process has been fiddled.
1. configure doesn't handle HP-UX release numbers
(e.g., B.11.00), resulting in MACHDEP = "hpuxB".
2. After checking for wchar.h, configure doesn't
include it when checking the size of wchar_t.
(Python 2.2b1 on HP-UX 11.00)
This is a big one, touching lots of files. Some of the platforms
aren't tested yet. Briefly, this changes the return value of the
os/posix functions stat(), fstat(), statvfs(), fstatvfs(), and the
time functions localtime(), gmtime(), and strptime() from tuples into
pseudo-sequences. When accessed as a sequence, they behave exactly as
before. But they also have attributes like st_mtime or tm_year. The
stat return value, moreover, has a few platform-specific attributes
that are not available through the sequence interface (because
everybody expects the sequence to have a fixed length, these couldn't
be added there). If your platform's struct stat doesn't define
st_blksize, st_blocks or st_rdev, they won't be accessible from Python
either.
(Still missing is a documentation update.)
