On cygwin, the setup.py script uses unixccompiler.py for compiling and linking
C extensions. The unixccompiler.py script assumes that executables do not get
special extensions, which makes sense for Unix. However, on Cygwin,
executables get an .exe extension.
This causes a problem during the configuration step (python setup.py config),
in which some temporary executables may be generated. As unixccompiler.py does
not know about the .exe extension, distutils fails to clean up after itself: it
does not remove _configtest.exe but tries to remove _configtest instead.
The attached patch to unixccompiler.py sets the correct exe_extension for
cygwin by checking if sys.platform is 'cygwin'. With this patch, distutils
cleans up after itself correctly.

New functions:
unsigned long PyInt_AsUnsignedLongMask(PyObject *);
unsigned PY_LONG_LONG) PyInt_AsUnsignedLongLongMask(PyObject *);
unsigned long PyLong_AsUnsignedLongMask(PyObject *);
unsigned PY_LONG_LONG) PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLongMask(PyObject *);
New and changed format codes:
b unsigned char 0..UCHAR_MAX
B unsigned char none **
h unsigned short 0..USHRT_MAX
H unsigned short none **
i int INT_MIN..INT_MAX
I * unsigned int 0..UINT_MAX
l long LONG_MIN..LONG_MAX
k * unsigned long none
L long long LLONG_MIN..LLONG_MAX
K * unsigned long long none
Notes:
* New format codes.
** Changed from previous "range-and-a-half" to "none"; the
range-and-a-half checking wasn't particularly useful.
New test test_getargs2.py, to verify all this.
- Allow setting the destination install directory. If this is set then
it is used for the modules, other items (header files, etc) are not
installed, and warnings are printed if the package would have liked to.
Unfortunaltey binary installs seem broken due to a tarfile bug (#721871)
or my misunderstanding of how tarfile works.
getpwnam()/getpwuid() return consistent data.
Change test_grp to check that getgrall() and
getgrnam()/getgrgid() return consistent data.
Add error checks similar to test_pwd.py.
Port test___all__.py to PyUnit.
From SF patch #662807.
interpreted by slicing, so negative values count from the end of the
list. This was the only place where such an interpretation was not
placed on a list index.
A small fix for bug #545855 and Greg Chapman's
addition of op code SRE_OP_MIN_REPEAT_ONE for
eliminating recursion on simple uses of pattern '*?' on a
long string.
After some more reflection (and no negative feedback), I am reverting the
original patch and applying my version, cygwinccompiler.py-shared.diff,
instead.
My reasons are the following:
1. support for older toolchains is retained
2. support for new toolchains (i.e., ld -shared) is added
The goal of my approach is to avoid breaking older toolchains while adding
better support for newer ones.
to lookup properties declared in base classes. Looking at it I'm not sure
what the official scope if the property codes is, maybe it is only the
(OSA) class in which they are used. But giving them global scope hasn't been
a problem so far.
Regenerated the standard suites, which are now also space-indented.
to iso-8859-1.
GNUTranslations._parse(): Back out the addition of a test for
Project-ID-Version in the metadata. This was deliberately removed in
response to SF patch #700839.
Also, re-organize the code in _parse() so we parse the metadata header
containing the charset parameter before we try to decode any strings
using charset.
- range() now works even if the arguments are longs with magnitude
larger than sys.maxint, as long as the total length of the sequence
fits. E.g., range(2**100, 2**101, 2**100) is the following list:
[1267650600228229401496703205376L]. (SF patch #707427.)
- Expose NullTranslations and GNUTranslations to __all__
- Set the default charset to iso-8859-1. It used to be None, which
would cause problems with .ugettext() if the file had no charset
parameter. Arguably, the po/mo file would be broken, but I still think
iso-8859-1 is a reasonable default.
- Add a "coerce" default argument to GNUTranslations's constructor. The
reason for this is that in Zope, we want all msgids and msgstrs to be
Unicode. For the latter, we could use .ugettext() but there isn't
currently a mechanism for Unicode-ifying msgids.
The plan then is that the charset parameter specifies the encoding for
both the msgids and msgstrs, and both are decoded to Unicode when read.
For example, we might encode po files with utf-8. I think the GNU
gettext tools don't care.
Since this could potentially break code [*] that wants to use the
encoded interface .gettext(), the constructor flag is added, defaulting
to False. Most code I suspect will want to set this to True and use
.ugettext().
- A few other minor changes from the Zope project, including asserting
that a zero-length msgid must have a Project-ID-Version header for it to
be counted as the metadata record.
* Doc - add doc for when functions were added
* UserString
* string object methods
* string module functions
'chars' is used for the last parameter everywhere.
These changes will be backported, since part of the changes
have already been made, but they were inconsistent.
The cygwinccompiler.get_versions() function only handles versions numbers of
the form "x.y.z". The attached patch enhances get_versions() to handle "x.y"
too (i.e., the ".z" is optional).
This change causes the unnecessary "--entry _DllMain@12" link option to be
suppressed for recent Cygwin and Mingw toolchains. Additionally, it directs
recent Mingw toolchains to use gcc instead of dllwrap during linking.
