It seems a little hokey to me, but the test passed on Linux and Solaris, hopefully other platforms too. ........ r55002 \| georg.brandl \| 2007-04-27 12:20:00 -0700 (Fri, 27 Apr 2007) \| 2 lines Version fix (bug #1708710) ........ r55021 \| neal.norwitz \| 2007-04-29 16:53:24 -0700 (Sun, 29 Apr 2007) \| 1 line There really are some tests that are problematic. ........ r55024 \| kristjan.jonsson \| 2007-04-30 08:17:46 -0700 (Mon, 30 Apr 2007) \| 1 line Complete revamp of PCBuild8 directory. Use subdirectories for each project under the main pcbuild solution. Now make extensive use of property sheets to simplify project configuration. x64 build fully supported, and the process for building PGO version (Profiler Guided Optimization) simplified. All projects are now present, except _ssl, which needs to be reimplemented. Also, some of the projects that require external libraries need extra work to fully compile on x64. ........ r55025 \| thomas.heller \| 2007-04-30 08:44:17 -0700 (Mon, 30 Apr 2007) \| 4 lines Make sure to call PyErr_NoMemory() in several places where PyMem_Malloc() could potentially fail. Will backport to the release25-maint branch. ........ r55027 \| thomas.heller \| 2007-04-30 09:04:57 -0700 (Mon, 30 Apr 2007) \| 8 lines When accessing the .value attribute of a c_wchar_p instance, and the instance does not point to a valid wchar_t zero-terminated string, raise a ValueError. c_char_p does this already. The ValueError message now contains the correct pointer address. Will backport to release25-maint. ........ r55036 \| georg.brandl \| 2007-04-30 23:04:11 -0700 (Mon, 30 Apr 2007) \| 2 lines Bug #1710295: exceptions are now new-style classes. ........ r55038 \| georg.brandl \| 2007-04-30 23:08:15 -0700 (Mon, 30 Apr 2007) \| 2 lines Patch #1710352: add missing public functions to locale.__all__. ........ r55041 \| vinay.sajip \| 2007-05-01 03:20:03 -0700 (Tue, 01 May 2007) \| 1 line Added new optional credentials argument to SMTPHandler.__init__, and smtp.login() is now called in SMTPHandler.emit() if credentials are specified. ........ r55042 \| vinay.sajip \| 2007-05-01 03:21:45 -0700 (Tue, 01 May 2007) \| 1 line Added documentation for new optional credentials argument to SMTPHandler.__init__(). ........ r55070 \| neal.norwitz \| 2007-05-01 21:47:55 -0700 (Tue, 01 May 2007) \| 3 lines Stop using PyMem_FREE while the GIL is not held.

Triggers an assertion otherwise. ........ r55087 \| neal.norwitz \| 2007-05-02 23:47:18 -0700 (Wed, 02 May 2007) \| 1 line Handle a couple of uncaught errors. This should be backported ........ r55090 \| neal.norwitz \| 2007-05-03 00:20:57 -0700 (Thu, 03 May 2007) \| 4 lines Remove dead code. This code couldn't be reached because earlier in the function there is another check for z != Py_None. ........ r55092 \| thomas.heller \| 2007-05-03 05:02:08 -0700 (Thu, 03 May 2007) \| 1 line Fix building _ctypes.pyd for x64 / Windows. ........ r55093 \| thomas.heller \| 2007-05-03 05:05:20 -0700 (Thu, 03 May 2007) \| 1 line Don't truncate pointers to integers (on win64 platform). ........ r55094 \| walter.doerwald \| 2007-05-03 08:13:55 -0700 (Thu, 03 May 2007) \| 3 lines Clarify the behaviour of PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16(): A BOM is only skipped in native order mode, and only if it's the first two bytes. ........ r55101 \| kristjan.jonsson \| 2007-05-03 13:04:53 -0700 (Thu, 03 May 2007) \| 2 lines Fix pcbuild8 after recent overhaul: Added the version resource to python26.dll. Adjust stacksize to 2Mb and made large address aware for 32 bits, and set stacksize to 3Mb for 64 bits. Todo: Set .dll optimized load addresses, and side-by-side packaging of the python26.dll. ........ r55102 \| kristjan.jonsson \| 2007-05-03 13:09:56 -0700 (Thu, 03 May 2007) \| 1 line Fix those parts in the testsuite that assumed that sys.maxint would cause overflow on x64. Now the testsuite is well behaved on that platform. ........ r55103 \| kristjan.jonsson \| 2007-05-03 13:27:03 -0700 (Thu, 03 May 2007) \| 11 lines Fix problems in x64 build that were discovered by the testsuite: - Reenable modules on x64 that had been disabled aeons ago for Itanium. - Cleared up confusion about compilers for 64 bit windows. There is only Itanium and x64. Added macros MS_WINI64 and MS_WINX64 for those rare cases where it matters, such as the disabling of modules above. - Set target platform (_WIN32_WINNT and WINVER) to 0x0501 (XP) for x64, and 0x0400 (NT 4.0) otherwise, which are the targeted minimum platforms. - Fixed thread_nt.h. The emulated InterlockedCompareExchange function didn?\194?\180t work on x64, probaby due to the lack of a "volatile" specifier. Anyway, win95 is no longer a target platform. - Itertools module used wrong constant to check for overflow in count() - PyInt_AsSsize_t couldn't deal with attribute error when accessing the __long__ member. - PyLong_FromSsize_t() incorrectly specified that the operand were unsigned. With these changes, the x64 passes the testsuite, for those modules present. ........ r55107 \| kristjan.jonsson \| 2007-05-03 17:25:08 -0700 (Thu, 03 May 2007) \| 1 line Revert compiler comment to AMD64 for x64/AMD64 builds. ........ r55115 \| thomas.heller \| 2007-05-04 00:14:39 -0700 (Fri, 04 May 2007) \| 4 lines Fix some ctypes test crashes, when running with a debug Python version on win64 by using proper argtypes and restype function attributes. ........ r55117 \| thomas.heller \| 2007-05-04 01:20:41 -0700 (Fri, 04 May 2007) \| 4 lines On 64-bit Windows, ffi_arg must be 8 bytes long. This fixes the remaining crashes in the ctypes tests, when functions return float or double types. ........ r55120 \| kristjan.jonsson \| 2007-05-04 08:48:15 -0700 (Fri, 04 May 2007) \| 1 line Update the pcbuild8 solution. Straightened out the _ctypes project by using a .vsproj file and a masm64.rules file to avoid redundancy ........ r55121 \| kristjan.jonsson \| 2007-05-04 10:28:06 -0700 (Fri, 04 May 2007) \| 1 line Minor fix of PCBuild8/_ctypes vcproj, moving include dir into the .vsprops file. ........ r55129 \| thomas.heller \| 2007-05-04 12:54:22 -0700 (Fri, 04 May 2007) \| 3 lines Do not truncate 64-bit pointers to 32-bit integers.

The nb_long method of classobject now falls back to nb_int if there is no __long__ attribute present. ........ r55197 \| collin.winter \| 2007-05-08 21:14:36 -0700 (Tue, 08 May 2007) \| 9 lines Fix a bug in test.test_support.open_urlresource(). If the call to requires() doesn't precede the filesystem check, we get the following situation: 1. ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py test_foo # test needs urlfetch, not enabled, so skipped 2. ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -u urlfetch test_foo # test runs 3. ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py test_foo # test runs (!) By moving the call to requires() before the filesystem check, the fact that fetched files are cached on the local disk becomes an implementation detail, rather than a semantics-changing point of note. ........ r55198 \| neal.norwitz \| 2007-05-08 23:43:15 -0700 (Tue, 08 May 2007) \| 1 line Add markup for True/False. Will backport ........ r55205 \| walter.doerwald \| 2007-05-09 11:10:47 -0700 (Wed, 09 May 2007) \| 4 lines Backport checkin: Fix a segfault when b"" was passed to b2a_qp() -- it was using strchr() instead of memchr(). ........ r55241 \| neal.norwitz \| 2007-05-10 22:55:15 -0700 (Thu, 10 May 2007) \| 6 lines Don't ever report a failure when the sum of the reference count differences are zero. This should help reduce the false positives. The message about references leaking is maintained to provide as much info as possible rather than simply suppressing the message at the source. ........ r55242 \| neal.norwitz \| 2007-05-10 23:23:01 -0700 (Thu, 10 May 2007) \| 1 line Fix typo in docstring (the module is popen2, not 3). ........ r55244 \| neal.norwitz \| 2007-05-10 23:56:52 -0700 (Thu, 10 May 2007) \| 1 line Remove trailing whitespace in docstring ........ r55245 \| neal.norwitz \| 2007-05-10 23:57:33 -0700 (Thu, 10 May 2007) \| 1 line Deprecate os.popen* and popen2 module in favor of the subprocess module. ........ r55247 \| neal.norwitz \| 2007-05-11 00:13:30 -0700 (Fri, 11 May 2007) \| 1 line Deprecate os.popen* and popen2 module in favor of the subprocess module.

README.txt

Packaging Python as a Microsoft Installer Package (MSI)
=======================================================

Using this library, Python can be packaged as a MS-Windows
MSI file. To generate an installer package, you need
a build tree. By default, the build tree root directory
is assumed to be in "../..". This location can be changed
by adding a file config.py; see the beginning of msi.py
for additional customization options.

The packaging process assumes that binaries have been 
generated according to the instructions in PCBuild/README.txt,
and that you have either Visual Studio or the Platform SDK
installed. In addition, you need the Python COM extensions,
either from PythonWin, or from ActivePython.

To invoke the script, open a cmd.exe window which has 
cabarc.exe in its PATH (e.g. "Visual Studio .NET 2003
Command Prompt"). Then invoke

<path-to-python.exe> msi.py

If everything succeeds, pythonX.Y.Z.msi is generated
in the current directory.
