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.

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.

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

This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with
Python.  They were all written by me except where explicitly stated
otherwise -- in general, demos contributed by others ends up in the
../Contrib directory, unless I think they're of utmost general
importance (like Matt Conway's Tk demos).

A fair number of utilities that are useful when while developing
Python code can be found in the ../Tools directory -- some of these
can also be considered good examples of how to write Python code.

Finally, in order to save disk space and net bandwidth, not all
subdirectories listed here are distributed.  They are listed just
in case I change my mind about them.


cgi             CGI examples (see also ../Tools/faqwiz/.)

classes		Some examples of how to use classes.

comparisons	A set of responses to a really old language-comparison
		challenge.

curses		A set of curses demos.

embed		An example of embedding Python in another application
		(see also pysvr).

imputil		Demonstration subclasses of imputil.Importer.

md5test		Test program for the optional md5 module.

metaclasses	The code from the 1.5 metaclasses paper on the web.

parser		Example using the parser module.

pdist		Old, unfinished code messing with CVS, RCS and remote
		files.

pysvr		An example of embedding Python in a threaded
		application.

rpc		A set of classes for building clients and servers for
		Sun RPC.

scripts		Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin
		directory.  No optional built-in modules needed.

sockets		Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'.

threads		Demos that use the 'thread' module.  (Currently these
		only run on SGIs, but this may change in the future.)

tix		Demos using the Tix widget set addition to Tkinter.

tkinter		Demos using the Tk interface (including Matt Conway's
		excellent set of demos).

xml		Some XML demos.

zlib		Some demos for the zlib module (see also the standard
		library module gzip.py).
