the previous auto-configuring modules feature (already obsolete :-).

Build issues
|
||||
|
||||
- On Linux (and possibly other Unix platforms), the readline and
|
||||
_curses modules are automatically configured through
|
||||
Modules/Setup.config. These, and the bsddb module (which was
|
||||
already dynamically configured) are now built as shared libraries by
|
||||
default.
|
||||
- For Unix (and Unix-compatible) builds, configuration and building of
|
||||
extension modules is now greatly automated. Rather than having to
|
||||
edit the Modules/Setup file to indicate which modules should be
|
||||
built and where their include files and libraries are, a
|
||||
distutils-based setup.py script now takes care of building most
|
||||
extension modules. All extension modules built this way are built
|
||||
as shared libraries. Only a few modules that must be linked
|
||||
statically are still listed in the Setup file; you won't need to
|
||||
edit their configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
- Python should now build out of the box on Cygwin. If it doesn't,
|
||||
mail to Jason Tishler (jlt63 at users.sourceforge.net).
|
||||
|
||||
- Python now always uses its own (renamed) implementation of getopt()
|
||||
-- there's too much variation among C library getopt()
