Barry Warsaw 302331a3b6 FieldStorage.__init__(): if there is no content-type header, use
text/plain for inner parts, but application/x-www-form-urlencoded
for outer parts.  Honor any existing content-type header.

Lower down, if the content-type header is something we don't
understand (say because it there was a typo in the header coming from
the client), default to text/plain for inner parts, but
application/x-www-form-urlencoded for outer parts.

Guido van Rossum b33f612f33 What's new in this release. 1999-01-08 17:26:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2c1f6be38e Hack for Windows so that if (1) the exit status is nonzero and (2) we
think we have our own DOS box (i.e. we're not started from a command
line shell), we print a message and wait for the user to hit a key
before the DOS box is closed.

The hacky heuristic for determining whether we have our *own* DOS box
(due to Mark Hammond) is to test whether we're on line zero...

Guido van Rossum 41498435ba Need to include <sys/types.h> for off_t. 1999-01-07 22:09:51 +00:00
Guido van Rossum df69365f5f Ty Sarna writes:
The following patches (relative to 1.5.2b1) enable Python dynamic
loading to work on NetBSD platforms that use ELF (presnetly mips and
alpha systems).  They automaticly determine wether the system is ELF or
a.out rather than using astatic list of platforms so that when other
NetBSD platforms move to ELF, python will continue to work without
change.

Guido van Rossum 257fd514a3 Changes for long file support. 1999-01-07 21:48:46 +00:00
Fred Drake 637ad47e61 convert(): Make sure no line has trailing whitespace. (docfixer.py
checks for \n\n as a paragraph separator, LaTeX allows white
	space between the newlines.)
1999-01-07 18:47:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 446ccfe1ac The doc string for strptime had the arguments reversed -- the string
comes first, the format second!  Scott Cotton discovered this.
1999-01-07 18:29:26 +00:00

parse_makefile.
1999-01-06 14:46:06 +00:00

Fred Drake a2e4017394 Shorten the synopsis that gets into the table of contents. 1999-01-05 22:54:49 +00:00
Fred Drake ccc627200a write_idxfile(): New function. Isolate format of the external index
data file used by buildindex.py.

next_argument_id():  Removed; no longer used.

next_argument():  Doesn't use next_argument_id(), just does the work.

gen_target(), gen_target_name():  Removed, no longer used.  The only
	place that used them now does the (trivial) work directly.


Lots of little changes so we never have to pass around $br_id values
all over the place.  The only places they're used now new IDs are
generated as needed.
1999-01-05 22:16:29 +00:00
