all, either to see whether the # of chars fit in an int, or that the
amount of memory needed fit in a size_t. Checking these is expensive, but
the alternative is silently wrong answers (as in the bug report) or
core dumps (which were easy to provoke using Unicode strings).
Update processing of module synopsis tables (found at the beginning of
most chapters of the library reference) to reflect changes in the
processing pattern of recent versions LaTeX2HMTL. Requires most
recent change to SynopsisTable.pm.
This does not fix the module index problem.
exceptions which have interesting constructor signatures.
\pep, \seepep: New macros. Equivalent to \rfc and \seerfc, but
referring to the PEP series instead of the Internet RFC
series of documents.
hyperlinks to relevant sections.
Clarify the conditions under which the "softspace" attribute of file-like
objects can "just work" (with relation to overriding of attribute access
in user-defined classes).
weird macro-expansion issues. A better solution may be available in the
future, but this will do for now.
Add an index entry. More should probably be added as well.
distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py:
- the windows installer is again able to compile after installing
the files. Note: The default has changed, the packager has to
give --no-target-compile/--no-target-optimize to NOT compile
on the target system. (Another note: install_lib's --compile
--optimize options have the same semantics to switch off
the compilation. Shouldn't the names change?)
- All references to specific python versions are gone.
- A small bug:
raise DistutilsPlatformError ("...")
instead of
raise DistutilsPlatformError, ("...")
- When bdist_wininst creates an installer for one specific python
version, this is reflected in the name:
Distutils-0.9.2.win32-py15.exe instead of
Distutils-0.9.2.win32.exe
- bdist_wininst, when run as script, reads the wininst.exe file
and rewrites itself. Previously this was done by hand.
misc/install.c
- All the changes needed for compilation
- Deleted a lot of debug/dead code
.exe that will show up on PythonLabs.com later today:
Include the Lib\xml\ package (directory + subdirectories).
Include the Lib\lib-old\ directory.
Include the Lib\test\*.xml test cases (well, just one now).
Remove the redundant install of Lib\*.py (looks like a stray duplicate
line that's been there a long time). Because of this, the new
installer is a little smaller despite having more stuff in it.
