Raw Blame History

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
* Lib/stat.py: moved to posixstat.py; added macstat.py which has
the constants for the Mac; and created new stat.py which includes
the right one
* 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
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.

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
* Lib/mimetools.py: added functions to encode/decode standard MIME
Content-transfer-encoding types (as well as uuencode)

Sun Jun 12 17:38:31 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/socketmodule.c (sock_listen): fix typo (== instead of =)
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
* Python/ceval.c(eval_code): give the name of the local variable
when LOAD_FAST or DELETE_FAST fails
* frameobject.[ch], ceval.c: made fast_2_locals and locals_2_fast
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
trace function!
* Modules/{{pwd,grp}module.c,Setup.in}: split pwdmodule.c into pwd
and grp modules (e.g. OS2 seems to have pwd but not grp)
* Modules/posixmodule.c: OS/2 mods: add #include <io.h>
* configure.in: test for existence of link, chown, setuid, setgid;
use std macros for output; require autoconf 1.8
* Python/sigcheck.c: sigcheck() for use without signalmodule.c
* Modules/signalmodule.c: added thread compatibility (only main
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)
* Modules/regexmodule.c (reg_dealloc): remove bogus XDEL's.
Tue May 31 11:22:47 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/intrcheck.c: removed sigcheck()
* Python/structmember.c (setmember): test for NULL value
* frameobject, Python/ceval.c (eval_code): moved trace variable to
frame object so debugging can be switched on later
Mon May 23 14:44:46 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/newmodule.c: new module, create empty new objects (by
Tommy)
Fri May 20 09:46:50 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/Makefile: add DVIPS variable with default "dvips -f"

Wed May 18 00:21:05 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/lib.tex: added libfcntl and libposixfile (by Jaap V)
* Objects/funcobject.c (func_compare): take argcount and argdefs
into account
Wed May 17 00:00:00 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/import.c: bump MAGIC because of changes below
* Python/{ceval,compile}.c, Include/frameobject.h: changes to code
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 *)
* Lib/ftplib.py (login): default user='' is translated explicitly
to 'anonymous'
Wed May 11 10:29:22 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Parser/tokenizer.c (tok_nextc): fix inf loop when file does not
end in newline
* Modules/sybasemodule.c: new, interface to sybase (John Redford)
* Modules/signalmodule.c: new, catch unix signals (Lance)
* Parser/intrcheck.c, Python/ceval.c, Include/ceval.h,
Python/pythonrun.c: prepare for signalmodule.c; add sigcheck()
interface to intrcheck.c, add getframe() interface to ceval.c;
don't override signal handlers in pythonrun.c
Tue May 10 09:01:06 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/import.c (get_module): print dlopen debug message only of
verbose
Mon May 9 10:37:48 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* acconfig.h: added _POSIX_THREADS define
* configure.in: test for -lpthreads; add directory argument to
--with-thread to LIBS as -L option

thread_foobar.h for foobar threads)
* Objects/stringobject.c (formatstring): don't DECREF result of
strobject() before using it
* Doc/libtypes.tex: fix typo in table of list methods; clarify
truncation behavior of floating point formatting
* Doc/ref3.tex: clarify defaults for __repr__, __cmp__ and
__str__; correct (some) descriptions of class constructors
Fri May 6 11:25:26 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* 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)
* Modules/{cryptmodule.c,Setup.in}: new crypt(3) interface (Steve M)
* Python/bltinmodule.c, Include/bltinmodule.h: new fn setbuiltin()
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()
========================================================================
Release 1.0.3 (14 July 1994)
========================================================================
Thu Jul 14 14:38:11 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* copied FAQ 1.10 (which still references 1.0.2 by the way)
Thu Jul 7 12:20:10 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* configure.in: don't check for strtod!
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?

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

* Lib/test/test_{b1,b2,grammar}.py: tests for indefinite sequences
* Python/{bltinmodule,ceval}.c: Changed implied and explicit loops

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().

os.defpath
Thu Feb 17 12:53:33 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/ftplib.py(FTP.makeport): call listen(1) instead of listen(0)
so it works on Solaris 2
* Modules/makesetup: reverse order of DEFS so first Setup file can
override; any non-cpp uppercase option is sent to the linker
Wed Feb 16 10:26:59 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

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
* Lib/test/test_grammar.py: don't import sleep from time, but time
(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/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

(like long_scan but raises exception for bad base and stores end
of string into return argument)
* Objects/rangeobject.c (range_repr): repr must use "xrange..."
Wed Feb 2 12:28:04 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

Wed Jan 12 10:17:41 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* acconfig.h: added HAVE_ALTZONE
* configure.in: test for altzone; check for working
termcap/termlib when --with-readline used; don't test for readline
function; send errors to stderr

* Python/import.c (get_module): call dlerror() when dlopen() fails
(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;
added .PRECIOUS: config.status

defined
* Modules/md5module.c: grand cleanup
* Modules/Setup.sgi: renamed to Setup.irix4
* Modules/Setup.sunos5: renamed to Setup.solaris2

whitespace from variable definitions -- make sure there isn't any
in the defs used to generate PYTHONPATH
* Many modules and objects: use 'staticforward' where needed
* Include/object.h: added #define 'staticforward' as either static
or extern depending on BAD_STATIC_FORWARD

so it is only copied when Setup does not exist at all; add
prefix=/usr/local so Setup can base default path on --prefix
option to toplevel configure script
* Modules/Setup.in: clarified build procedure in comments; don't
include GNN's timing module by default; use $(prefix) instead
requiring manual edit of DESTDIR
* Makefile.in: replace DESTDIR by prefix and exec_prefix and
updated affected targets; added inclinstall and libainstall
targets
* Objects/accessobject.c: removed (???) from comment to avoid
trigraph warning
* Makefile.in (libinstall): correct typo: (D)DESTDIR

any other include file
* Modules/audioopmodule.c: include math.h after allobjects.h (so
the latter can be a precompiled header file on the Mac)

Release of 1.0.0 BETA 3 (Jan 5 1994)
========================================================================
Wed Jan 5 00:18:45 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* {Parser,Objects,Python,Makefile}/Makefile*in: made depend target
work with VPATH
* README: describe new build procedure; added section on building
for multiple architectures
* acconfig.h: fix (reversed!) comment for SYS_SELECT_WITH_SYS_TIME
* Modules/Makefile.pre.in: copy Setup from $(srcdir) if not
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)

* README: added paragraph on testing
* Misc/python.man: changed date and add 1994 copyright
* Makefile: added test target
* Python/thread.c: include config.h if needed
* Parser/parser.h: remove references to struct _grammar and
similar things
* Modules/rotormodule.c (RTR_e_char, RTR_d_char): avoid warnings
by picky compilers about unsigned % signed
* README: added a section on building it for non-UNIX systems
* 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
* Modules/flmodule.c (form_setattr): one NULL should be 0
* Include/myselect.h: this now implies mytime.h and attempts to
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
* Lib/sunau.py: incorporate one-line fix by Sjoerd
* Include/pgenheaders.h: include <stdlib.h> if its symbol
defined, not just on the mac
* Include/grammar.h: remove redundant structure tags
* Include/cgensupport.h: avoid possible macro argument
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

* Python/sysmodule.c (list_builtin_module_names): sort the list
* Doc/Makefile: remove 'qua' from default targets

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)
* Makefile: attempt to fix install targets (added separate
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/Setup: added entry for timing module
* Modules/{timing.h,timingmodule.c}: new files implementing GNN's
timing module
