Marc-André Lemburg f156a44e8c Added Unicode objects to the copy mechanism. Since these are immutable,
they are copied as atomic types.

Tim Peters 627273165d Boost Windows build # to 5 (see new BUILDno.txt). 2000-09-07 08:37:37 +00:00
Tim Peters 553d2a5dc4 Windows installer, reflecting changes that went into a replacement 2.0b1
.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.

Guido van Rossum 00c09256d5 Removing this file again to set its status to 'dead'. 2000-09-07 02:02:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c84d8bd7be Simple fix from Jin Fulton to avoid returning a half-initialized
module when e.g. copy_reg.py doesn't exist.  This caused a core dump.

This closes SF bug 112944.
2000-09-07 00:11:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 56db095018 Another typo (in the list comprehension example). 2000-09-06 23:34:25 +00:00

Fred Drake 8b2e8f846c Added a \versionadded statement to the getfqdn() description. 2000-09-06 02:22:16 +00:00
Greg Ward 5fad268ffc Bullet-proofing of 'make_release_tree()':
- 'mkpath()' the distribution dir in case of empty manifest
  - warn if empty manifest
  - detect, warn about, and skip non-regular files in manifest
2000-09-06 02:18:59 +00:00
Greg Ward d3b76a8fbf Reorganized logic in 'get_file_list()' so it's easier to read, and fixed a
bug to boot: now works even if both MANIFEST and MANIFEST.in don't exist.
Don't hardcode setup.py, use 'self.distribution.script_name'.

"manual" class documents.

cvs2svn 4f643ba5db This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag 'r20b1'. 2000-09-05 20:15:25 +00:00
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.
2000-09-05 20:15:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7a12ef3479 Added BeOpen support plug. 2000-09-05 20:04:35 +00:00
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.

Tim Peters 0d416d3360 Windows build: install NEWS.txt; bump BUILD# to 3 in preparation for next
installer.
2000-09-05 17:14:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4f40c2d49c Many changes suggested by Bob Weiner, mostly small grammatical fixes
or other clarifications, with the occasional plug for BeOpen
PythonLabs thrown in.  Also added a trademarks disclaimer.

Jeremy Hylton 3263dc2b15 compromise value for threshold0: not too high, not too low 2000-09-05 15:44:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b1156badb4 The malloc rearrangement was actually already in 1.6. 2000-09-05 15:43:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 830ca2af5a Added readline news. (Skip) 2000-09-05 15:34:16 +00:00
Fred Drake 8bdf0bf705 Fix PDF generation.
The \\ introduced in the \author in boilerplate.tex broke the PDF
generation because line breaks are not allowed in the "Document Info"
metadata stored in the PDF file.  This changes the line break to
a ", " (comma-space) in that context.
2000-09-05 15:19:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 82de71dae8 Minor nit to make this work a little better with the PDF generation fix.
This does not change the HTML or PostScript output.
2000-09-05 15:11:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fa6013cff0 Don't emit 8 lines of (c) information at startup -- use the same text
as main.c.

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...
2000-09-05 12:42:46 +00:00
Tim Peters 87106b58cf Now that I've got real docs, redirect _DOC_ out of the Python 1.6 tree and
to the new docs.
Added a description to the Tcl/Tk file copies.

Guido van Rossum e2ab1451cf The usual. 2000-09-05 04:49:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 10912854a2 Sh*t! Should use $(srcdir)/LICENSE of course. 2000-09-05 04:46:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cd28b0210f Install LICENSE as LICENSE.txt in the <prefix>/lib/python<version>
directory.

Guido van Rossum a22865ec44 Instead of printing all 9 lines of copyright info, print
"Type \"copyright\", \"credits\" or \"license\" for more information."
2000-09-05 04:41:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f26cda62b6 The GCC version is loooooooooong; put it on a new line. 2000-09-05 04:40:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d1252395bd Add new builtin commands "copyright", "license", "credits" which
display the information you would expect them to display.

Fred Drake 05e4ef01a2 Set the date. 2000-09-05 03:13:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 82271161cc Since it looks like the dual license clause may be neither necessary
nor sufficient to make Python 2.0 compatible with the GPL, we won't
bother with it now.

In other words, we're still where we were weeks ago -- CNRI believes
that its license is GPL-compatible, Stallman says it's not.  I'm
trying to arrange a meeting between their lawyers so they can work it
out.  Whether dual licensing is the solution is open at this point.
If it is the (only!) solution, we'll add that to the BeOpen license
for 2.0 final.

Greg Ward 47f99a6174 Fleshed out the section on the setup config file, setup.cfg.

Guido van Rossum f2eac99a4f Added release dates (in some cases detemined by looking at the mtime
of distribution files in ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/src/).
