This patch fixes 3 small problems.
1) If a map is used which is generated with 'makedbm -a',
the trailing '\0' is now handled correctely.
2) The nis.maps() function skipped the first map in the output list.
3) The library '-lnsl' is added in Setup.in (needed on Linux glibc2 and
Solaris systems. Maybe on other systems too?)
[I note that this still doesn't work when you are using NIS+ --GvR]
This patch allows building the Python 'mpzmodule' under SuSE Linux
without having to install the source package of the GMP-libary.
The gmp-mparam.h seems to be an internal header file. The patch
shouldn't hurt any other platforms.
The same problem (mixed mallocs) exists for the pcre stack.
The buffers md->... are allocated via PyMem_RESIZE in grow_stack(),
while in free_stack() they are released with free() instead of
PyMem_DEL().
The buffers self->regex and self->regex_extra are allocated in
pcre_compile() and pcre_study() via pcre_malloc, but are released
via free() instead of pcre_free.
(e.g. used for ZIP files).
The patch includes code that says:
+ Copyright (C) 1986 Gary S. Brown. You may use this program, or
+ code or tables extracted from it, as desired without restriction.
My interpretation (and Jim's) is that Gary S Brown has no claims under
copyright, patent or other rights or interests. Lawyers might disagree.
only. Through some mysterious interaction, they would take 9 separate
arguments as well. This misfeature is now disabled (to end a
difference with JPython).
building the dicts used to inform the user about the defined
constants when using the *conf*() APIs.
Thanks to Mark Hammond <mhammond@skippinet.com.au>.
strings to integers for the *conf*() functions.
Added code to sort the tables at module initialization. Three
dictionaries, confstr_names, sysconf_names, and pathconf_names, are
added to the module as well. These map known configuration setting
names to the numeric value which is used to represent the setting in
the system call. This code is always called.
Updated related comments.
pathconf() names, from Sjoerd.
Added code to verify that these tables are properly ordered, only
included and used when CHECK_CONFNAME_TABLES is defined. This is only
needed to test the tables, so I haven't enabled this by default.
available since the interface is poorly defined on at least one major
platform (Solaris).
Moved table of constant names for fpathconf() & pathconf() into the
conditional that defines the conv_path_confname() helper; Mark Hammond
reported that defining the table when none of the constants were
defined causes the compiler to complain (won't allow 0-length array,
imagine that!).
In posix_fpathconf(), use conv_path_confname() as the O& conversion
function, instead of the conv_confname() helper, which has the wrong
signature (posix_pathconf() already used the right thing).
and TMP_MAX.
Converted all functions that used PyArg_Parse() or PyArg_NoArgs() to
use PyArg_ParseTuple() and specified all function names using the
:name syntax in the format strings, to allow better error messages
when TypeError is raised for parameter type mismatches.

new:
readline.get_begidx() -> int
gets the beginning index in the command line string
delimiting the tab-completion scope. This would
probably be used from within a tab-completion
handler
readline.get_endidx() -> int
gets the ending index in the command line string
delimiting the tab-completion scope. This would
probably be used from within a tab-compeltion
handler
readline.set_completer_delims(string) -> None
sets the delimiters used by readline as word breakpoints
for tab-completion
readline.get_completer_delims() -> string
gets the delimiters used by readline as word breakpoints
for tab-completion
fixed:
readline.get_line_buffer() -> string
doesnt cause a debug message every other call
simply moves the call to Tk_MainWindow() after the Tcl/Tk
initialization calls. The patch is unconditional, it works with
earlier and later versions as well.
reformatted.)
- Illegal padding is now ignored. (Recommendation by GvR.)
- Padding no longer removes characters from data string (resulting in
lost data/strings with negative lengths).
- Illegal characters outside the ASCII range are now ignored, instead
of possibly being remapped to a valid character.
the right variant of gethostbyname_r for us, since not all Linuxes are
equal in this respect. Reported by Laurent Pointal.
(2) On BeOS, Chris Herborth reports that instead of arpa/inet.h you
must include net/netdb.h to get the inet_ntoa() and inet_addr()
prototypes.
names match the documentation.
Removed broken code that supports the __methods__ attribute on ast
objects; the right magic was added to Py_FindMethod() since this was
originally written. <ast-object>.__methods__ now works, so dir() and
rlcompleter are happy.
