f_fastlocals in a traceback object (this is a core dump hazard
if there are <nil> entries), but instead eval_code() merges the fast
locals back into the locals dictionary if it looks like the local
variables will be retained. Also, the merge routines save
exceptions since this is sometimes needed (alas!).
* Added id() to bltinmodule.c, which returns an object's address
(identity). Useful to walk arbitrary data structures containing
cycles.
* Added compile() to bltinmodule.c and compile_string() to
pythonrun.[ch]: support to exec/eval arbitrary code objects. The
code that defaults globals and locals is moved from run_node in
pythonrun.c (which is now identical to eval_node) to eval_code in
ceval.c. [XXX For elegance a clean-up session is necessary.]
lookup (opcode.h, ceval.[ch], compile.c, frameobject.[ch],
pythonrun.c, import.c). The .pyc MAGIC number is changed again.
Added get_menu_text to flmodule.
* Added whatis command to pdb.py
* new module GET.py (GL definitions from <gl/get.h>)
* rect.py: is_empty takes a rect as argument, not two points.
* Added tests for builtin round() [XXX not yet complete!]
* Stubs for faster implementation of local variables (not yet finished)
* Added function name to code object. Print it for code and function
objects. THIS MAKES THE .PYC FILE FORMAT INCOMPATIBLE (the version
number has changed accordingly)
* Print address of self for built-in methods
* New internal functions getattro and setattro (getattr/setattr with
string object arg)
* Replaced "dictobject" with more powerful "mappingobject"
* New per-type functio tp_hash to implement arbitrary object hashing,
and hashobject() to interface to it
* Added built-in functions hash(v) and hasattr(v, 'name')
* classobject: made some functions static that accidentally weren't;
added __hash__ special instance method to implement hash()
* Added proper comparison for built-in methods and functions
* Fixcprt.py: added [-y file] option, do only files younger than file.
* modsupport.[ch]: added vmkvalue().
* intobject.c: use mkvalue().
* stringobject.c: added "formatstring"; renamed string* to string_*;
ceval.c: call formatstring for string % value.
* longobject.c: close memory leak in divmod.
* parsetok.c: set result node to NULL when returning an error.
- call v.SetParam() after v.BindGLWindow()
- turn of dithering in mono/grey mode
- use prefposition to place the top left corner at (150, 150)
(so that the video remains visible during recording)
- default width is 256
Vcopy.py: correct typos; more verbose output.
OldVcopy.py: new name for Jack's old grabbing Vcopy.py.
Vstat.py: print values of all video parameters.
- Renamed old Vcopy.py to OldVcopy.py, some cosmetic changes to it (is
it still needed?)
- Added new Vcopy.py which does everything that Vtime.py does but also
format conversions, image scaling, and packfactors.
- VFile: make packfactor always a tuple; introduce set and get methods
for pf, format, and calculate some derived values.
- Added new module GET.py to std library, use it instead of defining
DM* in VFile.
- Get rid of C programs (new Python programs can do all that they do
and they probably don't understand the current file format anyway).
accordingly: SetMin, SetMax, SetDefault are no longer methods of the
compressor/decompressor but are functions of the cl module and they
take a first argument which is a compression scheme
way); more efficiently check whether parameters are float; removed
one argument from DecompressImage method; use clGetParam instead of
clGetParams where it makes sense; convert int parameters in
SetParams, SetParam, SetMin, SetMax, and SetDefault to float when
needed; added QuerySchemeFromHandle method
* Makefile: interchanged cstubs and cgen.py so that $> in rule gets
them in the right order
