Tim Peters 8b09233f93 Added Windows news. Also repeated 1.6 Windows news since most people getting
2.0b1 for Windows will not have bothered getting 1.6.  Also changed
"Changed, New, Obsolete Tools" to say "None" since nobody had put an entry
there.

Jeremy Hylton 24c3d6080d All the NEWS that I could finish in 15 minutes (and then some)
Removed some attributions from the shorter entries in Changed Modules,
because that section is so long.

Guido van Rossum e905e95721 Barry Warsaw: Fixed -+ operator. Added some new sections. Leave some
XXX notes for now.

I could use help here!!!!  Please mail me patches ASAP.  We may have
to put some of this off to 2.0final, but it's best to have it in shape
now...

Marc-André Lemburg bff879cabb This patch finalizes the move from UTF-8 to a default encoding in
the Python Unicode implementation.

The internal buffer used for implementing the buffer protocol
is renamed to defenc to make this change visible. It now holds the
default encoded version of the Unicode object and is calculated
on demand (NULL otherwise).

Since the default encoding defaults to ASCII, this will mean that
Unicode objects which hold non-ASCII characters will no longer
work on C APIs using the "s" or "t" parser markers. C APIs must now
explicitly provide Unicode support via the "u", "U" or "es"/"es#"
parser markers in order to work with non-ASCII Unicode strings.

(Note: this patch will also have to be applied to the 1.6 branch
 of the CVS tree.)

2000-06-29 00:04:51 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 99eadf4de9 (py-execute-region): Make sure the new temporary buffer is current for
the insertion of the text.
2000-06-23 20:24:25 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg bfa36f5407 Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Updated to version 1.5. Includes typo fixes by Andrew Kuchling
and a new section on the default encoding.
2000-06-08 17:51:33 +00:00
Barry Warsaw caee2fe35d (py-execute-region): Based on suggestions by Francois Pinard and Skip
Montanaro, handle execution of indented regions by inserting an "if
1:" in front of the block.  This better preserves things like triple
quoted strings and commented regions.  This patch resolves PR#264.

Guido van Rossum 0b4400e86c Bunch of new names, mostly from patches and bugs mailing lists
(everyone who said something remotely useful in the last 100 messages
I archived has been added :-).
2000-04-10 19:14:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 494ef17472 Two more names. I just realize that there may be more contributors to
distutils lurking in CVS logs that I probably haven't read.  Oh well.
2000-03-31 19:51:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5964f8d60b I believe I've now got all the names mentioned in the CVS logs since
1.5.2 was released, except those who contributed only to Doc files --
Fred has his own way of doing this.

This doesn't mean that I've got everyone who contributed *before*
1.5.2 was released in here... :-(
2000-03-31 19:45:17 +00:00

them out of the changelogs :-(
2000-03-31 00:45:00 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 7690151c7e slightly modified version of Greg Ewing's extended call syntax patch
executive summary:
Instead of typing 'apply(f, args, kwargs)' you can type 'f(*arg, **kwargs)'.
Some file-by-file details follow.

Grammar/Grammar:
    simplify varargslist, replacing '*' '*' with '**'
    add * & ** options to arglist

Include/opcode.h & Lib/dis.py:
    define three new opcodes
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR
        CALL_FUNCTION_KW
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW

Python/ceval.c:
    extend TypeError "keyword parameter redefined" message to include
        the name of the offending keyword
    reindent CALL_FUNCTION using four spaces
    add handling of sequences and dictionaries using extend calls
    fix function import_from to use PyErr_Format
2000-03-28 23:49:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 24bdb0474f Marc-Andre Lemburg:
The attached patch set includes a workaround to get Python with
Unicode compile on BSDI 4.x (courtesy Thomas Wouters; the cause
is a bug in the BSDI wchar.h header file) and Python interfaces
for the MBCS codec donated by Mark Hammond.

Also included are some minor corrections w/r to the docs of
the new "es" and "es#" parser markers (use PyMem_Free() instead
of free(); thanks to Mark Hammond for finding these).

The unicodedata tests are now in a separate file
(test_unicodedata.py) to avoid problems if the module cannot
be found.
2000-03-28 20:29:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d8855fde88 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Attached you find the latest update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version.

It includes the fix I posted yesterday for the core dump problem
in codecs.c (was introduced by my previous patch set -- sorry),
adds more tests for the codecs and two new parser markers
"es" and "es#".

Barry Warsaw 51ac58039f On 17-Mar-2000, Marc-Andre Lemburg said:
Attached you find an update of the Unicode implementation.

    The patch is against the current CVS version. I would appreciate
    if someone with CVS checkin permissions could check the changes
    in.

    The patch contains all bugs and patches sent this week and also
    fixes a leak in the codecs code and a bug in the free list code
    for Unicode objects (which only shows up when compiling Python
    with Py_DEBUG; thanks to MarkH for spotting this one).

Fred Drake f2e9e2978e Oops, better update the date on the .TH line. 1999-08-20 13:30:49 +00:00
Fred Drake 4c9be9dffa Various updates, mostly to add information to the SEE ALSO and
INTERNET RESOURCES sections based on c.l.py comments.
1999-08-20 13:10:20 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 50765abb29 (py-shell): Set the default shell if not set yet. It's sometimes
convenient to call py-shell before the first Python file has been
visited.
1999-08-10 21:49:00 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 5ed843fc52 A few minor Customize changes:
(python): Set defgroup :prefix to "py-" to make variable names cleaner.

(py-jpython-command, py-jpython-command-args): Set :tag for proper
capitalization of JPython in variable name display.
1999-07-28 22:06:06 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 11f215607e (python-mode): Set which interpreter (CPython or JPython) to use the
first time a py buffer is visited during the Emacs session.  This
ensures that py-which-shells is initialized and also guarantees that
the mode lines reflect the correct shell.  First bug found by GvR,
second one has long bugged :) me.

(py-toggle-shells): Programmatically, arg can also take the symbols
`cpython' or `jpython', which makes it easy to call with the value of
py-default-interpreter.

(py-shell): Don't need to initialize py-which-* variables since these
will guarantee to be initialized by python-mode when the first py
buffer is visited.

(py-default-interpreter): Update docstring.
1999-07-28 21:59:43 +00:00
Barry Warsaw ddc469679b (py-beginning-of-def-or-class): Only move to match-beginning if the
regex match actually succeeded!
1999-07-27 21:40:02 +00:00
Barry Warsaw c0d2d51dd2 (py-statement-closes-block-p): py-goto-initial-line could leave us in
the line's whitespace.  back-to-indentation should /follow/ this call.
1999-06-03 22:18:59 +00:00
Barry Warsaw fa2def2a61 (py-electric-backspace): I'm not sure this function should be special
casing when py-honor-comment-indentation is nil, but this could be a
religious issue with some.  Seems to me we should still be dedenting
such comment lines one level.
1999-05-24 21:43:37 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 53db859408 (py-parse-state): When running under Emacs -- which doesn't have
buffer-syntactic-context -- just short circuit the TQS test by jumping
to point-min and doing the test from there.  For long files, this will
be faster than looping with a re-search-backwards.
1999-05-24 19:57:32 +00:00
Barry Warsaw a8f99ba2d2 (py-statement-closes-block-p): Add a py-goto-initial-line which fixes
indentation when the return value is a multiline sexp:

def bug():
    try:
        if 2>1:
            return (11+
                    12)

        else:   #XXX
            return 12
    except:
        return 13

Barry Warsaw 3b4e2f0b87 (py-shell): Added optional argprompt, which will prompt for additional
switches to pass into the shell process (only on initial startup).
1999-02-16 23:52:46 +00:00
Barry Warsaw aa384fd616 (py-default-interpreter): New variable which selects whether CPython
or JPython is the default interpreter to use when `C-c !' is entered
for the first time.

Barry Warsaw f19feb8fb5 (py-mode-map): Add back force of RET (aka C-m) to
py-newline-and-indent.
1999-01-21 17:06:11 +00:00
Barry Warsaw cb5540e72a (py-mode-map): Removed special bindings for C-m and C-j to
py-newline-and-indent.  These ought to get picked up by the mapcar
that follows; any existing binding to newline-and-indent gets shadowed
to py-newline-and-indent.

This will break some people who, e.g. bind C-m or C-j to newline but
still want these bound to py-newline-and-indent in Python mode.  On
the other hand, the forced binding pisses off Emacs diehards.  So
consider this experimental and see if any tall Dutch guys complain :-)
1999-01-19 13:26:56 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f8ddb6afa0 (py-narrow-to-defun): New command (bound to C-x n d) which mimics the
standard narrow-to-defun but works with Python classes and methods.
With no arg, narrows to most enclosing def/method.  With C-u arg,
narrows to most enclosing class.
1999-01-18 21:49:39 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 1d7b0fa9ca (py-electric-delete): Implement the XEmacs 21 blessed way of checking
for delete forwardness.
1999-01-15 02:12:31 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 1a1c6bbf8c (py-outdent-p): Short circuit infloop for illegal construct
(e.g. except: on first line of buffer).
1999-01-09 17:22:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum de8b026148 Added shlex and netrc modules; added warning about urllib change
