Raw Blame History

Thu Oct 6 16:40:05 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Got rid of Modules/imgformat.c (will be distributed with Jack's
img package)
* Doc/*.tex: moved title boilerplate to separate file, added
copyright notice (separate file)
Wed Oct 5 11:13:13 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Modules/config.c.in: don't include frozen.c when frozen (the new
freeze script compiles it separately)
* Lib/os.py: add dummy import posixpath, for freeze script
* Python/marshal.c (r_object): plugged memory leak in reading of
code objects
* Modules/config.c.in (getpythonpath): always return malloc'ed
memory -- save a static pointer to free next time (prevents leaks)
Thu Sep 29 10:35:28 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Grammar/Grammar: got rid of history; changed some diagram
commands
* Lib/types.py: cosmetic changes
* Mac/{config.c,macosmodule.c}: new interface to (a few bits of)
the Mac OS
* Modules/xxmodule.c: integrated with xxobject.c by Jack
* Modules/(posix,socket}module.c: more NT changes
* Python/traceback.c: security fix -- check for buffer oveflow
before concatenating sys.path item and module name
* Python/ceval.c, Include/ceval.h: promote MakePendingCalls to
global: Py_MakePendingCalls. Also guard against recursive calls
* Python/pythonmain.c: fatal error if can't alloc mem for -c
string
* Python/pythonrun.c: add string "Python" to fatal error message
Wed Sep 28 16:39:09 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Objects/longobject.c: change ValueError to OverflowError when
converting to int
* Objects/xxobject.c: changed to use new style (not finished?)
* Objects/stringobject.c: use HAVE_LIMITS instead of __STDC__
* Objects/rangeobject.c: modernized
* Objects/floatobject.c: add overflow check when converting float
to int and implement truncation towards zero using ceil/float
* Parser/intrcheck.c: make 'interrupted' global (forgot for
whom...)
* Include/rename1.h: don't even define Py_FPROTO
* Python/{modsupport.c,getargs.c,Makefile.in},
Include/modsupport.h: moved getargs() to its own file and
re-implemented it entirely to support optional arguments, multiple
arguments without surrounding parentheses
(when called as newgetargs()), and better error messages
* Include/classobject.h, Objects/classobject.c,
Python/{ceval.c,bltinmodule.c}: entirely redone operator
overloading. The rules for class instances are now much more
relaxed than for other built-in types
(whose coerce must still return two objects of the same type)
Sun Sep 18 07:26:39 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@cayenne.cwi.nl>
* Python/pythonrun.c (print_error): print only last line of
multi-line source line
* Parser/tokenizer.c (tok_nextc): count line numbers when parsing
strings
Fri Sep 16 15:54:56 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Python/modsupport.c (do_arg): added error message if "O!" fails;
change type of converter for "O&" to function returning int taking
an object* and a void* parameter; it should return 1 for success
or return 0 and set an exception for failure to convert
Wed Sep 14 14:08:44 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Include/Python.h: new header file for new naming scheme
* various modules: #include "Python.h" and remove most remporary
renaming hacks
* Lib/whrandom.py: if seed is (0,0,0), initialize from current
time; default seed's arguments to (0,0,0)
* Python/ceval.c (eval_code), Include/ceval.h: added registry of
pending functions (to be used by functions that are called
asynchronously, like UNIX signal handlers or Mac I/O completion
routines)
Wed Sep 14 11:05:36 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/libsys.tex (section{Built-in Module \sectcode{sys}}):
documented sys.check_interval
Tue Sep 13 21:35:19 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Import/pythonrun.h, Python/{import,pythonrun}.c,
mac/macsetfiletype.c: changes by Jack to execute .pyc file passed
as command line argument. On the Mac .pyc files are given a
special type so they can be double-clicked
* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_[r]find): change index range check
-- don't raise ValueError buit silently clip when it's out of
range (this is compatible with slicing)
Mon Sep 12 12:53:07 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Extensions/X11/Xmmodule.c: (Sjoerd): Implemented
Xm.OptionButtonGadget and Xm.OptionLabelGadget
* Modules/Setup.in: define PYTHONPATH using COREPYTHONPATH for
extensions; add -lm to math module definition
* Modules/Makefile.pre.in: remove *.so and so_locations on clobber
* Modules/makesetup: (Sjoerd): treat words beginning with a dollar
and not ending in a well-known extension as linker arguments
* Lib/urlparse.py: URL parser according to the latest Internet
draft
* README: added note about HP-UX
Sun Sep 11 12:12:28 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Misc/indent.pro: Steen's approximation of my C style as a GNU
indent profile
* Modules/{Setup.in,termios.c}: add Steen's termios; also
Lib/[pt]ty.py, Demo/scripts/script.py, Lib/irix5/TERMIOS.py
* Demo/scripts/h2py.py: merged in Steen Lumholt's changes to
handle #include. Now also handles one-argument macros.
* configure.in: use uname to decide how to create / link shared
libraries and to set $(MACHDEP) (machine dependent subdirectory of
Lib)
* Makefile.in: shared library support; added target sharedinstall
which move shared libraries into Lib/$(MACHDEP)
* Modules/{Makefile.pre.in,Setup.in,makesetup}: support shared
libraries. Had to re-engineer rule production in makesetup
because sed was dumping core on the script fed to it -- now the
rules are always appended to the end of the Makefile.
Fri Sep 9 11:35:28 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/uu.py: new module, does uuencode/uudecode (thanks to Lance)
* Grammar/Grammar: fewer #diagram:break hacks needed; removed
history from file
Thu Sep 8 10:24:41 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Parser/grammar1.c (finddfa): massive speed up by using direct
addressing instead of searching
Wed Sep 7 08:49:37 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Include/rename1.h: added PyArg_GetInt
* pythonrun.h: added Py_AtExit
* Doc/libsocket.tex, Modules/socketmodule.c: added Tommy
Burnette's setblocking() method
* Modules/signalmodule.c: adapted to new module style (Lance);
added {BGN,END}_SAVE around pause() call
* Objects/object.c (DELREF): must zap type pointer *before*
calling free() (or other destructor)
Sat Sep 3 14:12:38 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/{Setup.in,tkintermodule.c,tkappinit.c}: moved tkinter
into the main Modules directory, and its Lib and Demo
subdirectories into the main Lib and Demo directories. Moved
definition of STDWIN component and TK component of PYTHONPATH to
their respective sections so it's easier to remember to enable
them.
* Python/pythonrun.c (cleanup), Include/pythonrun.h: added
Py_AtExit() -- register cleanup functions for C modules
Tue Aug 30 10:53:50 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/getmtime.c: Remove mac specifics (Mac subdirectory has
its own version now)
* Modules/Setup.in: uses .c instead of .o now; added curses
* Modules/{rotormodule,syslogmodule}.c: new naming conventions
* Modules/cursesmodule.c: new, interface to curses
* Modules/makesetup: bugfix: add objects from sources to OBJS
* Modules/cursesmodule.c: new contribution from Lance
* Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_tuple): use pre-existing
listtuple(v) for lists
Mon Aug 29 15:41:02 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Various places: merged THINK C 6.0 and MPW 3.2 mods: Python 1.1
should build flawlessly on the Mac using either compiler
Fri Aug 26 10:18:05 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/tut.tex (subsection{Lambda Forms}): fix typo in lambda
example
Thu Aug 25 12:30:11 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/importall.py: obsolete.
* Lib/{compileall,py_compile}.py: new modules for compiling .py
files.
* Modules/timemodule.c (floattime), Objects/longobject.c
(dgetlongvalue): add (double) casts for the benefit of the SCO C
compiler
Tue Aug 23 00:52:32 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/Setup.*: removed all except Setup.in (huh? I thought
I'd done that already?!); disable gdbm by default
* Modules/makesetup: support C++ files now; these should be given
as file.C or file.cc or file.c++; C files can be given as file.c
(instead of file.o, which is still supported)
* configure.in, */Makefile*.in: OPT can now be specified in the
env at configure time and will then be put in all Makefiles as
default
* Modules/config.c.in: change mac specific things
* Python/import.c: add lost NT-specific code back in
* Parser/tokenizer.c: backup over illegal newline in string
literal (for "completeness" test)
* Include/node.h: make some fields short to save space during
parsing
* Modules/posixmodule.c: some more NT changes
* Doc/libtime.tex: get rid of references to millitime() and
millisleep(); document clock()
Mon Aug 22 10:53:59 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/linecache.py: don't crash on empty filename
* Lib/macpath.py: don't return trailing colon for dirname()
(XXX won't do for volume names -- but otherwise glob(':*:*.py')
loops forever)
* Lib/traceback.py: print SyntaxError correctly
* Modules/signalmodule.c: added pause().
* Python/pythonrun.c (print_error): added INCREF/DECREF pair --
the exception returned by a syntax error (when reported) would
contain an object with refcnt zero!
Fri Aug 19 15:35:44 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* */Makefile*.in: remove lib*.a before adding to it
* Lib/urllib.py: fix caching bug (by disabling the cache)
* Lib/sgi/flp.py: fix caching bug (always write the whole file to
the cache!)
* Doc/ref6.tex (section{Assignment statements}): added warning
about overlaps in lhs of assignment (e.g. "i, x[i] = 1, 2")
* Python/errors.c (err_clear): clear interpreter stack trace
Wed Aug 17 16:10:07 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Moved patchlevel.h from Python/ to Include/, moved all code from
version.c to config.c and removed version.c, and changed
Modules/Makefile(.pre.in) to add dependencies on $(MYLIBS) for
config.c (so the date in the version is always current). Also
changed the format of PATCHLEVEL: it is now a string containing
the complete version number, e.g. "1.1".
* Grammar/Grammar: Added #diagram:... comments for Kees Blom's
railroad diagram generator
* Doc/libstring.tex (section{Standard Module \sectcode{string}}):
removed references to {ato{f,i,l},index}_error
* Lib/string.py: find/rfind is now the main implementation and
index/rindex is a wrapper that raises index_error (which is now
always ValueError)
* Modules/stropmodule.c: implement find/rfind instead of
index/rindex (raising and catching an exception is much more
expensive than returning and testing -1)
* Lib/os.py: do fake "import posix" for freeze.py script
Tue Aug 16 23:58:30 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Parser/parsetok.c (parsetok): don't call strncpy(str, NULL, 0)
* Doc/libfuncs.tex (section{Built-in Functions}): added docs for
delattr()
* Python/bltinmodule.c: added delattr(x, 'attr'), equivalent to
del x.attr
Fri Aug 12 15:00:20 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/libfuncs.tex: don't use $math$ in description of pow(x,y,z);
describe tuple()
* Doc/libposixfile.tex: use tableiii instead of tableii, so
partparse will work again (I know, chicken!)
* Doc/libthread.tex: Added get_ident(); updated text on module
availability
* Doc/myformat.perl: Added sub do_cmd_Cpp
* Python/compile.c (com_argdefs, com_arglist): avoid referencing
CHILD(n,i) for i >= NCH(n)
* Python/bltinmodule.c: added tuple() builtin
Thu Aug 11 16:41:14 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Objects/classobject.c, Include/classobject.h: added __getattr__
and __setattr__ support to override getattr(x, name) and
setattr(x, name, value) for class instances. This uses a special
hack whereby the class is supposed to be static: the __getattr__
and __setattr__ methods are looked up only once and saved in the
instance structure for speed.
(Later rewritten to also support __delattr__ and to store the
routines in the class instead of in the instance)
Wed Aug 10 13:42:29 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* configure.in, Makefile.in: remove the AC_PREFIX() call -- it's
more trouble than it's worth at CWI and most other people seem to
install Python in the default (/usr/local) anway. Changed comment
describing --prefix in Makefile.in
* Lib/urllib.py (ftpcache): remove debug print statement
Tue Aug 9 14:32:45 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Objects/{int,long,float}object.c, Include/object.h,
Python/bltinmodule.c: mods by Andrew Kuchling to implement
pow(x,y,z) == pow(x,y)%z, but without incurring overflow
* Python/import.c: if initializing a module did not enter the
module into sys.modules, it may have raised an exception -- don't
override this exception.
* Include/rename1.h: added PyMethodDef and PyObject
Mon Aug 8 09:51:08 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/{Makefile,*.tex}: Changes by Andrew Kuchling:
* Added dependencies to the Makefile
* Added \optional{} commands all over the place (possibly not
finished yet)
* Defined \optional and \Cpp in myformat.sty
* Changed all occurrences of C++ to \Cpp{}, for nicely
formatting the + signs.
* Fixed typos, sentence structure in lots of places
* Added documentation for the rotor module
* Added a commented-out paragraph to libcrypto.tex that can be
added once the Python Cryptography Kit is released.
* Altered the table in libposixfile.tex a bit.
* Documented socket.gethostname()
* Started completely rewriting the Extending manual.
* Modules/{Setup.in, gdbmmodule.c}, Doc/{lib,libgdbm}.tex: added
Anthony Baxter's gdbm module (derived from Jack's dbm module)
Fri Aug 5 11:43:16 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* BUGS: new file (merger of unofficial BUGS1.0.x files)
* Modules/{Setup.in,Makefile.pre.in}: renamed some modules to
shorter names (dropped the "module" from the name): sunaudiodev,
imgformat, audioop, imageop, imgfile
* Python/import.c: support *.o/*.so as alternative for
*module.o/*module.so
* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): make rindex('abc', '') do
the right thing (i.e. return 3 instead of 0)
* Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_vars): correct typo in error msg
* Doc/libsocket.tex (subsection{Socket Object Methods}):
documented gethostname() and a few misc things
* Modules/socketmodule.c: disabled allowbroadcast() socket method
Mon Aug 1 01:28:29 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Makefile.in (TAGS): Call etags w/o -t option
* Lib/rfc822.py: fix two bugs: error in readheaders interpreting
regex.match() result, and wrong logic in getfirstmatchingheader()
when the same header occurs twice consecutively
* Lib/test/test_types.py (6.4.1): test for particular bug in
integer multiply
Sat Jul 30 13:31:40 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/libsocket.tex, Modules/socketmodule.c: send() and sendto()
now return actual byte count (useful for sockets in non-blocking
mode)
Tue Jul 26 14:21:17 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* configure.in: check for <limits.h>
* Objects/longobject.c (newlongobject): fix long(0x80000000) and
add warning that it isn't actually correct on 64-bit machines;
include <limits.h> if HAVE_LIMITS_H is defined
* Objects/intobject.c (int_mul): check int*int overflow without
resorting to double precision (many thanks to John Tromp)
* Modules/signalmodule.c (signal_alarm): interface to Posix alarm()
* Python/ceval.c (call_object): print message before abort()
Mon Jul 25 11:30:56 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/libstring.tex (section{Standard Module \sectcode{string}}):
documented string.count()
* Lib/string.py: added count(s, sub, i=0), returns number of
occurrences of sub in s[i:]
* Doc/keywords.py: program to sort table of keywords in ref2.tex
* Doc/ref2.tex (subsection{Keywords}): add 'access' and 'lambda'
to list of reserved words
Thu Jul 14 15:26:14 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* README, Misc/NEWS, Python/patchlevel.h,
Doc/{lib,ext,tut,ref}.tex: bump version to 1.0.3; in README, fewer
references to it elsewhere, nor to IP numbers.
Wed Jul 13 18:51:36 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/mhlib.py (removefromallsequences): call putsequences with
proper argument
Mon Jul 11 13:00:36 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/selectmodule.c: don't accept negative file descriptors;
changed error messages slightly
Thu Jul 7 12:20:10 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/syslogmodule.c: new module by Lance
* configure.in: don't check for strtod!
* Python/import.c: undo Mac DL mods (temporarily) and install NeXT
dl mods by William Lewis instead.
* Modules/posixmodule.c (posix_popen): substitute pclose for
fclose (how did fclose ever creep into this?)
Wed Jul 6 21:45:54 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/{bdb,cmd,pdb}.py: Mods by Rickard Westman: No longer barfs
on lambda:s (outputs "<lambda>" as the function name); "a(rgs)" in
pdb now works; help messages added to pdb (lifted from pdb.doc).
Also, "h pdb" calls pdb.help(). cmd.do_help() displays topics on
a nicer way (I think). Also, topics for which there is a help_
method, but no do_method (like "pdb" above) are displayed in a
special way. My own mod: fix break on function to also support
methods.
Tue Jul 5 23:18:16 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): change semantics of third
argument -- as in the original string.rindex, search to its right,
not to its left. (Maybe both index and rindex need a 4th
parameter to restrict the search on the other end?
Mon Jul 4 23:01:36 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/timemodule.c (sleep, floatsleep): don't use setjmp or
signal, rely on err_errno() or sigcheck() instead.
* Dos/{pcmodule,dosmodule}.c, Modules/posixmodule.c: don't include
<setjmp.h>
Sat Jul 2 00:42:47 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/urllib.py: implemented new quoting rules; added splituser,
splitpasswd, splitattr, splitvalue; new ftp syntax (user:passwd,
cwd to each subdir, type={a,i,d})
Fri Jul 1 17:32:51 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/traceback.c: add function name to traceback info
* Object/listobject.c, Modules/{array,mpz}module.c: include
<sys/types.h> for size_t
Fri Jul 1 12:47:05 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Makefile.in (Makefile): add dependency on config.status
* configure.in: support --with-gcc[=value], --without-gcc
* configure.in, acconfig.h, config.h.in: check for clock_t
* Modules/{arraymodule,mpzmodule}.c: Include sys/types.h, for size_t
* Lib/test/test_types.py (6.5.1 Strings): test for nasty string
formatting bug
* Objects/stringobject.c (formatstring): fix nasty bug in resizing
Wed Jun 29 10:01:17 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/ref3.tex (section{The standard type hierarchy}
\label{types}): fix typo
* Lib/packmail.py: applied patch from Lance to remove '.' and '..'
Tue Jun 28 00:57:35 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/ref1.tex: grammar notation can use single or double quotes now
* configure.in (termcap): hack around conflict about clear() on
IRIX 5 in shared libraries gl and termcap
* Python/bltinmodule.c: added callable() predicate
Wed May 18 15:01:13 1994 Donald Beaudry (don@zippy.vicorp.com)
* modsupport.c (do_arg): Changed all of the int getting things to
just try to get and int, instead of explicitly checking for an int
first.
(do_arg): Added the "O&" option to allow using a user supplied
conversion function.
Wed May 18 14:10:49 1994 Donald Beaudry (don@zippy.vicorp.com)
* intobject.c (getintvalue): Changed to allow automatic conversion
from any type that supports the nb_int method.
* floatobject.c (getfloatvalue): Changed to allow automatic
conversion from any numeric type that supports the nb_float
method.
Wed May 4 22:56:15 1994 Donald Beaudry (don@scooter.vicorp.com)
* object.h -- Added tp_call member to the typeobject struct
This along with a minor change to the ceval.c allows overloading
of the function call operator for any class.
Wed May 4 22:23:48 1994 Donald Beaudry (don@scooter.vicorp.com)
* modsupport.c -- replace the part of getargs that processes "O!",
it had a minor problem with comparing the types.
* ceval.c -- changed call_object to make use of the tp_call
field.
Fri Jun 27 17:22:00 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/pythonmain.c: On MPW (3.2) unbuffered seems to hang, so
use setvbuf ... _IOLBF for -u option.
* Python/mystrtoul.c: MPW hack (overflow check doesn't seem to work)
Thu Jun 23 14:46:34 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/Makefile.pre.in (clobber): delete config.c and glmodule.c
Thu Jun 23 00:17:16 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Parser/tokenizer.c: if a triple-quoted string ends in a quote
followed by a newline (followed immediately by the terminating 3
quotes) then a syntax error or system error ensues (one-line fix)
* Doc/ref4.tex: clarify that global name space is almost always
containing module's name space
* Lib/profile.{py,doc}: totally new versions by James Roskind;
also edited source & doc to replace 'jprofile' by 'profile'
* Modules/posixmodule.c: don't mess with SIGPIPE any more -- this
is now done in Python/pythonrun.c (saves NT dependency here)
* Modules/Setup.*: removed all except Setup.in (keeping them up to
date was too much of a pain)
* Python/import.c: don't rely on three-line "dl.h", just copy the
contents.
* Doc/libtypes.tex (subsubsection{More String Operations.}):
clarified tuple vs non-tuple argument to format strings.
Wed Jun 22 10:38:22 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/libsocket.tex: clarify the meaning of address for those
methods that or return addresses.

hack; removed debug fprintfs; added two needed #includes.
Mon Jun 20 23:46:04 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Objects/fileobject.c (file_read): test for negative read count
was misplaced.
Mon Jun 18 11:20:00 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* acconfig.h: changed GETPGRP_HAVE_ARGS into GETPGRP_HAVE_ARG
* Lib/posixpath.py(walk): don't descend down symbolic links
Thu Jun 16 16:20:12 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/imgformatmodule.c: new module for Jack by Jack
Tue Jun 14 21:07:00 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Fix bug in 3quoted strings where string ends in quote followed
by newline
Mon Jun 13 00:24:06 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/multifile.py: added readlines() and read() methods

Thu Jun 9 23:33:33 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/compile.c (parsenumber), Python/marshal.c (r_object):
replace strtod() by atof()
Tue Jun 7 11:41:05 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/lib.tex: added warning about lineii, libposixfile and partparse
* Lib/bdb.py (clear_all_breaks): this was defined with two
arguments that weren't used and shouldn't have been there
Mon Jun 6 14:53:05 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/ceval.c (call_trace): Added call to fast_2_locals so
locals_2_fast won't zap locals if the trace function never looks
in f.f_locals; don't XDECREF(f->f_trace)
Sun Jun 5 13:18:00 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/rfc822.py: Accept lines ending in CR LF as well
Fri Jun 3 16:37:58 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/profile.py: unspecified improvements by Sjoerd
* Lib/{bdb,pwd,stdwin/wdb}.py: remove debugger overhead when
continuing with no breakpoints; add set_trace() method and
functions to forcibly enter the debugger

global and moved them to frameobject.c. getattr(f, "f_locals")
now calls fast_2_locals and there are fewer other calls to it
Thu Jun 2 13:50:11 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/ceval.c (call_trace): *p_trace can now be cleared by the

thread uses signals); much improved efficiency; intrcheck()
doesn't call sigcheck() but only tests and clears the SIGINT
tripped flag.
* Lots of places: replace intrcheck() by sigcheck() and remove
following err_set(KeyboardInterrupt).
Wed Jun 1 11:33:34 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

objects -- consts/names are tuples, RESERVE_LOCALS instruction
gets tuple of names instead of dictionary -- so code objects are
immutable and thus code and function objects are hashable
* Objects/listobject.c, Include/listobject.h: added listtuple() --
convert list to tuple
Tue May 17 15:40:12 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/ceval.c (getframe): cast current_frame to (object *)

* various files: micro changes needed to compile on Mac;
Grouped more Mac-specific files in Mac subdirectory
* Lib/*.py: rewrote many functions to use default arguments
instead of arbitrary argument lists
Thu May 5 12:33:31 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

to set a built-in variable
* Python/ceval.c (eval_code): place '_' variable in __builtin__
instead of in local dictionary, to avoid endless recursion when
printing vars()

argument -- as in the original string.rindex, search to its right,
not to its left. (Maybe both index and rindex need a 4th
parameter to restrict the search on the other end?

codehack.getcodename() is obsolete now we have co.co_name; same
for getfuncname(): f.func_name. Module codehack is still needed

Majewski. Instead of iterating over 0, 1, 2, ..., len(a)-1, we
now iterate over 0, 1, 2, ..., until we get an IndexError
exception (other exceptions are still errors). This affects the
semantics of the following language constructs: "for x in a: ...",
"x in a", "x not in a", and the following built-in functions:
filter(), map(), max(), min(), reduce().

* README: add Sequent and NeXT to list of platforms; add
troubleshooting section; add hist about -Dindex for readline
* Lib/os.py: generalize to many os specific modules using a
dictionary
* Lib/ospath.py: now obsolete; use os.name to import the right one
* configure.in: change order of -lsocket and -lnsl and insert
-linet in between, so it works on Sequent (it still works on
Solaris 2 -- hope it still works elsewhere as well); add test for
_NEXT_SOURCE (then define _POSIX_SOURCE); remove test for dlopen;
* configure.in, acconfig.h, */modsupport.[ch]: rename
HAVE_VARARGS_PROTOTYPES to HAVE_STDARG_PROTOTYPES, to avoid
confusion
* Include/modsupport.h: no prototypes for getargs() and mkvalue()
in case no varargs prototypes

(since sleep has portability problems)
Fri Feb 11 23:47:46 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Parser/intrcheck.c: added QUICKWIN version (doesn't really
work); fixed MSDOS version to also set a SIGINT handler.
* Modules/timemodule.c (time_sleep): declare sigsave 'auto' hoping
this will avoid restoring its pre-setjmp value. On non-threaded
systems declare it 'static' since at least Microsoft C still puts
the auto variable in a register causing a bug... Also implement
the MSDOS version of floatsleep() using a busy-wait loop calling
intrcheck()
Wed Feb 9 11:43:11 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

* Modules/Setup*: added -lX11_s to line for gl module
* Demo/scripts/unbirthday.py: new script, print unbirthday count

(there's now a test in the configure script); check that if
'signed' is defined away characters aren't unsigned
* Modules/posixmodule.c: include mytime.h (for clock_t on NeXT)
* acconfig.h: add entry for 'signed' keyword
* configure.in: remove const from check for exec prototypes; add
check for signed keyword and check for whether chars are unsigned

ValueError when the strop versions are used
* Modules/stropmodule.c: added atol(), added optional base
argument to atoi() and atol()

(like long_scan but raises exception for bad base and stores end
of string into return argument)

(also some layout changes)
Tue Jan 11 10:56:00 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/import.c: use RTLD_NOW (define as 2 if undefined)
* Makefile.in: "make (local)clean" shouldn't bother about Include;

work with VPATH
* README: describe new build procedure; added section on building
for multiple architectures

present, and use local Setup as input for makesetup script
Tue Jan 4 12:32:16 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Note that there are no functional changes below -- just changes
to the build process and changes to avoid compiler warnings
* Modules/Setup: disable nis as well by default, change the
pertaining comments, and change the comments about the multimedia
modules to be default on
* fixed all warnings about function pointer initializations, and
miscellanous other warnings (e.g. about extern forward references
to static variables); touched random bits of code as a consequence
* changed configuration process and Makefiles to support VPATH;
for this, config.h(.in) now lives to the toplevel directory, the
toplevel Makefile is now created by configure as well, and various
improvements to it have been made (e.g. working tags and TAGS
targets), the makesetup script follows configure instead of
preceding it, it understands srcdir and has an exception for
glmodule.c, the intermediate file is called Makefile.pre, the
Makefiles don't use TOP any more and are much more careful about
the difference between .. and the toplevel directory, and I've
improved my understanding of how configure handles srcdir
* Modules/threadmodule.c: refuse to compile when WITH_THREAD is not
defined
* configure.in, acconfig.h, config.h.in, Include/ceval.h,
Modules/{stdwin,thread}module.c, Python/{ceval,pythonrun}.c:
renamed USE_THREAD to WITH_THREAD
* configure.in: add AC_PROG_INSTALL
* README, Python/version.c: version set to 1.0.0 BETA 3
* Demo, Include, Lib: added Makefile with clean/clobber targets
* README: added remarks on --with-svr4; unnumber special cases
* configure.in: only look for -lnsl and -lsocket if --with-svr4 is
specified, to avoid linking with them on IRIX 5
========================================================================
Release of 1.0.0 BETA 2 (Jan 3 1994)
========================================================================
Mon Jan 3 22:21:24 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

* Makefile (configure): call autoheader when calling autoconf
* Include/config.h.in: now generated by autoheader
* acconfig.h: new file (input for autoheader)
* configure.in: added AC_REVISION call to top

work around systems where sys/select.h and sys/time.h can't be
included together
* Modules/socketmodule.c, Doc/libsocket.tex: remove socket avail()
method -- you can use select instead
* Modules/Setup: disable dbm, it is not truly portable

* Include/pgenheaders.h: include <stdlib.h> if its symbol
defined, not just on the mac

substitution inside string literal
* configure.in, Include/config.h.in: add test whether sys/select.h
and sys/times.h can be included by the same program
* Include/config.h.in: add lines for HAVE_SYS_UN_H and
HAVE_GETPEERNAME
* Extensions/mkext.py: copy change in library order from
Modules/Makefile.in.in
* Modules/Makefile.in.in: change library order subtly so -ltermcap
follows instead of precedes -lgl_s on SGI systems; this solves
(hides?) problems with clashing entry points
* configure.in: added sys/un.h to list of tested header files;
added getpeername to list of tested functions (both for
Modules/socketmodule.c)
* Modules/socketmodule.c: conditionally include sys/un.h and
change tests for AF_UNIX to tests for HAVE_SYS_UN_H; test for
HAVE_GETPEERNAME instead of NO_PEERNAME

explanation to some options, add description of ChangeLog, add
wuarchive.wustl.edu to list of mirror sites
* Modules/socketmodule.c: make AF_UNIX code dependent on existence
of AF_UNIX (SCO ODT 3.0 doesn't support it -- let's hope it
doesn't define the symbol either)

libinstall and maninstall)
* Doc/libregex.tex: documented Tracy Tims' changes
* Modules/regexpr.c: redid Tracy Tims' changes to minimize diffs
(only two added lines now)
* Modules/regexmodule.c: fix core dump when asking a plain regex
object for a named group
Sun Jan 2 23:10:44 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* README, Python/version.c: changed version string to 1.0.0 BETA 2
* Modules/{regexpr.{c,h},regexmodule.c}: merged in Tracy Tims'
mods for named subexpressions
* Include/regexpr.h: moved to Modules/regexpr.h
* Modules/timingmodule.c: change tests for no arguments
* configure.in: remove strtoul from AC_REPLACE_FUNCS; remove
initial blank line (which got copied into configure so it wouldn't
start with #!/bin/sh as required)
* Python/compile.c: call mystrto(u)l instrad of strto(u)l
* Python/Makefile.in: add mystrtoul.c to OBJS
* Python/mystrtoul.c: renamed from strtol.c; renamed functions to
mystrto(u)l; this is now a standard source file (since some
systems have a strto(u)l that doesn't report errors properly)

* Modules/{timing.h,timingmodule.c}: new files implementing GNN's
timing module
