Guido van Rossum bff110f3f1 Examples of metaprogramming in pure Python. 1997-08-23 21:14:37 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 558f66ff53 Added a few more tests of exception class raising 1997-08-22 21:28:05 +00:00
Barry Warsaw ac405ce3f9 generated output for new tests 1997-08-22 21:27:40 +00:00
Barry Warsaw d543077aa6 Added tests of the new builtin functions issubclass() and isinstance() 1997-08-22 21:27:03 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4249f54b28 cmp_exception gets promoted (essentially) to the C API function
PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches().

set_exc_info(): make sure to normalize exceptions.

do_raise(): Use PyErr_NormalizeException() if type is a class.

loop_subscript(): Use PyErr_ExceptionMatches() instead of raw pointer
compare for PyExc_IndexError.
1997-08-22 21:26:19 +00:00
Barry Warsaw c0dc92af7d Three new C API functions:
- int PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(obj1, obj2)

  Returns 1 if obj1 and obj2 are the same object, or if obj1 is an
  instance of type obj2, or of a class derived from obj2

- int PyErr_ExceptionMatches(obj)

  Higher level wrapper around PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches() which uses
  PyErr_Occurred() as obj1.  This will be the more commonly called
  function.

- void PyErr_NormalizeException(typeptr, valptr, tbptr)

  Normalizes exceptions, and places the normalized values in the
  arguments.  If type is not a class, this does nothing.  If type is a
  class, then it makes sure that value is an instance of the class by:

  1. if instance is of the type, or a class derived from type, it does
     nothing.

  2. otherwise it instantiates the class, using the value as an
     argument.  If value is None, it uses an empty arg tuple, and if
     the value is a tuple, it uses just that.

Barry Warsaw cde8b1ba0c Two new built-in functions: issubclass() and isinstance(). Both take
classes as their second arguments.  The former takes a class as the
first argument and returns true iff first is second, or is a subclass
of second.

The latter takes any object as the first argument and returns true iff
first is an instance of the second, or any subclass of second.

Also, change all occurances of pointer compares against
PyExc_IndexError with PyErr_ExceptionMatches() calls.

Guido van Rossum 21c5c8fa5b Correct off-by-two-pixels error. 1997-08-22 20:56:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d14c06819e Add unsupported variable EXE which can be set to .exe on systems where
the executable must have that suffix.  Note that there is no
corresponding support in the top-level Makefile because I'm not sure
that the install targets there make sense under these circumstances.

Guido van Rossum 1171ee6aaf Added configuration tests for presence of alarm(), pause(), and getpwent() 1997-08-22 20:42:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 5de31fc094 Oops, don't suppress echo of the rm command in l2hclean! 1997-08-22 18:20:33 +00:00
Fred Drake 03ff6f7474 Simplify LaTeX2HTML targets && support re-use of output directories (which
saves re-generation of images).

Add l2hclean target.

Guido van Rossum cd649654d7 Reverse the search order for the Don Beaudry hook so that the first
class wins.  Makes more sense.
1997-08-22 16:56:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 289f97d0ea Changed description of SchedParams() in the following way:
\bar{Besocial} --> \var{besocial}
	     ^--- note case ----^

The fixed version matches the signature.  Changed "\bar{Besocial} gives ..."
to "The \var{besocial} flag gives ..." to keep from starting the sentence
with a lowercase token.

(The \bar{} --> \var{} change was required to keep LaTeX happy.)

Fred Drake 2999607e59 Added missing "\end{funcdesc}" after FindFolder documentation. 1997-08-22 13:45:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e3c0d5eb34 Added new Py_IsInitalized() API function to test the 'initialized' flag. 1997-08-22 04:20:13 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 779133c707 Removed JF's dollar-Log-dollar RCS turd that caused compilation to
crash due to GvR's last check in message :-).  Will try to convince JF
to remove all this evilness.

Guido van Rossum d7a7100c99 Remove redundant decl for PyOS_InputHook. 1997-08-21 17:26:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ab589b945e Completely disable the declarations for malloc() and friends. Use
#ifdef though, so if you still need these for a really backwards
compiler you know what to do.

Guido van Rossum 0078aaf950 Add warning about dumb SGI make. 1997-08-21 03:05:11 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 36f8e2d1db Use lseek instead of ftell; compensate by adding BUFSIZE 1997-08-21 02:31:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c6ef204830 Added /**/ around #end tags 1997-08-21 02:30:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bae6523a75 Must remove conflicting files from archive
*before* adding signalmodule.o, because some ar programs
are too smart for us...

Guido van Rossum 8456161fcd Richard Jones: I think we can be confident in using 'CC="-Aa
-D_HPUX_SOURCE"' on HP 9.x and 10.x platforms.
1997-08-21 00:08:11 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1bf0bf40b4 Got rid of HP-UX comments (which seem to be out of date -- one should
use -Ae).

Added Cray T3E comments.
1997-08-20 23:50:51 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6b9fdf529a Globally renamed join() to joinpath() to avoid compilation error on Cray. 1997-08-20 23:48:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 725d941f0f Renamed strndup to pystrndup, to avoid conflicting prototype
in GNU libc on some platforms.

Guido van Rossum b6784dc53f Interpret three slashes in file: URL as local file (for Netscape on
Windows/Mac).
1997-08-20 23:34:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4f46fc6d57 When we have signalmodule.o, remove intrcheck.o as well as sigcheck.o. 1997-08-20 22:45:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aa61505fd2 Use a counter instead of a Boolean to check for initialized; n calls
to Py_Initialize will be undone by n calls to Py_Uninitialize.
1997-08-20 22:40:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 558be283bf Make sure the objects returned by __getinitargs__() are kept alive (in
the memo) to avoid a certain kind of nasty crash.  (Not easily
reproducable because it requires a later call to __getinitargs__() to
return a tuple that happens to be allocated at the same address.)
1997-08-20 22:26:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 86c052e83a Use 'buildno1' instead of '@buildno' for temp file since DJGPP's bash
doesn't seem to grok @buildno.

Guido van Rossum 5aadaf5a8e Need to define AR since it is used, and not all Makes define it by default. 1997-08-19 14:40:11 +00:00

Jack Jansen f10786baca Very sketchy preliminary docs on new applescripting functionality. 1997-08-19 14:00:56 +00:00
Jack Jansen 97de10cacf Added reop 1997-08-19 13:59:59 +00:00
Jack Jansen 78c3cc4f0c MkPluginAliases now knows about fat PythonCore (and all resource files
got binhexed again)
1997-08-19 13:58:57 +00:00
Jack Jansen 03a00a8081 PythonCore is now a fat shared library, the plugin modules aren't fat,
unfortunately, this turned out to be too difficult.

Plugins.prj now builds all plugin modules, and all the
interdependencies between the projects are correct. One exception:
plugins don't attempt to build PythonCore (PythonFAT and PythonApplet do).

Guido van Rossum ef3138f9ad Moved assert.h to ../Parser directory 1997-08-19 12:07:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5b02078e31 Alas, the thread support for Tk didn't work. Withdraw it, until I
figure out how to do this right.
1997-08-19 01:00:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fd7a0b871f Made lookdict nearly twice as fast, resulting in a 5% overall
improvement of pystone.  Vladimir Marangozov.

Guido van Rossum 2da391f387 I'm tired -- checking in more news items. This isn't complete; I'm
about halfways.
1997-08-18 21:17:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8a81d27d58 Remove remark on python15.lib being in the Debug subdir only. 1997-08-18 20:58:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b27d8d8cf2 Changed the way python15.lib is included in the other projects.
Per Mark Hammond's suggestion, add it to the extra libs in Settings
instead of to the project's source files.
