Changes to error messages to increase consistency & clarity.

This (mostly) closes SourceForge patch #101839.
2000-10-24 19:57:45 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 12e1595e28 Clarify that isatty is only guaranteed to return true for slave ends of
terminals, not the master end (though it does, on most systems.)

Guido van Rossum b00adfbd83 Add missing prototypes for the benefit of SunOS 4.1.4 */ 2000-09-25 13:22:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7f58e2ec76 It's better to test for __hpux rather than __hppa, and hpux or hppa is
unnecessary.  Sez edg@SF
2000-09-22 17:26:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ecc23b07a9 Hopefully fix the problem with undeclared fdatasync() on HP-UX that
was reported twice so far.

Someone with access to HP-UX, please test this!  (Is '__hppa' or
'hppa' really the correct symbol to test for?)

Tim Peters f58a7aafea Implemented new os.startfile function, unique to Windows, exposing a
subset of Win32 ShellExecute's functionality.  Guido wants this because
IDLE's Help -> Docs function currently crashes his machine because of a
conflict between his version of Norton AntiVirus (6.10.20) and MS's
_popen.  Docs for startfile are being mailed to Fred (or just read the
docstring -- it tells the whole story).
Changed webbrowser.py to use os.startfile instead of os.popen on Windows.
Changed IDLE's EditorWindow.py to pass an absolute path for the docs
(hardcoding ShellExecute's "directory" arg to "." as used to be done let
IDLE work, but made the startfile command exceedingly obscure for other
uses -- the MS docs are terrible, of course, & still not sure I
understand it).
Note that Windows Python must link with shell32.lib now!  That's where
ShellExecute lives.

Tim Peters 0bb44a4a3a Closes SF bug 113894: on Windows, things like os.listdir("k:") and
glob.glob("k:*py") (i.e., a raw drive letter + colon at the start) were
using the root of the drive rather than the expected Windows behavior
of using the drive's "current directory".
2000-09-15 07:44:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8586991099 REMOVED all CWI, CNRI and BeOpen copyright markings.
This should match the situation in the 1.6b1 tree.
2000-09-01 23:29:29 +00:00
Tim Peters 9acdd3aed8 Repaired damaged comments, and extra spaces in fatal error msgs we'd better
not ever see!
2000-09-01 19:26:36 +00:00
Tim Peters 736aa32a39 Fix test_popen2 on Windows, recently broken by changes to the dict(!)
implementation.  You don't want to know.  I've asked Guido to give this
a critical review (we agreed on the approach, but the implementation
proved more ... interesting ... than anticipated).  This will almost
certainly be the highlight of Mark Hammond's day <wink>.

Fred Drake 56221a7cfa Chris Herborth <chrish@pobox.com>:
Minor updates for BeOS R5.

Use of OSError in test.test_fork1 changed to TestSkipped, with corresponding
change in BeOS/README (by Fred).

This closes SourceForge patch #100978.
2000-08-15 18:52:33 +00:00
Mark Hammond 33a6da9971 Fix for bug #110670 - Win32 os.listdir raises confusing errors:
The existing win32_error() function now returns the new(ish) WindowsError, ensuring we get correct error messages.
2000-08-15 00:46:38 +00:00
Mark Hammond b37a373496 Patch #101032, from David Bolen:
This is an enhancement to a prior patch (100941) ...
[T]his patch removes the risk of deadlock waiting for the child previously present in certain cases. It adds tracking of all file handles returned from an os.popen* call and only waits for the child process, returning the exit code, on the closure of the final file handle to that child.
2000-08-14 04:47:33 +00:00
Peter Schneider-Kamp 7e01890986 merge Include/my*.h into Include/pyport.h
marked my*.h as obsolete
2000-07-31 15:28:04 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 2031893842 - changed windows pclose to make sure we don't return before the
underlying process has terminated
  (bug fix from David Bolen)
2000-07-26 17:29:12 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 1e0c2f4bee Create a new section of pyport.h to hold all external function declarations
for systems that are missing those declarations from system include files.
Start by moving a pointy-haired ones from their previous locations to the
new section.

(The gethostname() one, for instance, breaks on several systems, because
some define it as (char *, size_t) and some as (char *, int).)

I purposely decided not to include the summary of used #defines like Tim did
in the first section of pyport.h. In my opinion, the number of #defines
likedly to be used by this section would make such an overview unwieldy. I
would suggest documenting the non-obvious ones, though.
2000-07-24 16:06:23 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 56055a4749 -- added code to the new Windows popen functions to make close
return the exit code.  Only works on Windows NT/2000, due to
   limitations in the Win9X shell.
   (based on patch #100941 by David Bolen)
2000-07-23 19:47:12 +00:00
Thomas Wouters bd4bc4e9e9 Even more ANSIfication: fix as many function pointers and declarations as
possible.
2000-07-22 23:57:55 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 1bc8c1eb83 Remove unused helper-function 'posix_strint'. 2000-07-22 16:39:39 +00:00
Thomas Wouters f3f33dcf03 Bunch of minor ANSIfications: 'void initfunc()' -> 'void initfunc(void)',
and a couple of functions that were missed in the previous batches. Not
terribly tested, but very carefully scrutinized, three times.

All these were found by the little findkrc.py that I posted to python-dev,
which means there might be more lurking. Cases such as this:

long
func(a, b)
	long a;
	long b; /* flagword */
{

and other cases where the last ; in the argument list isn't followed by a
newline and an opening curly bracket. Regexps to catch all are welcome, of
course ;)

Thomas Wouters 616607a987 ANSIfy the just-checked-in isatty() wrapper. 2000-07-19 14:45:40 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 1517d842b6 new method isatty from Thomas Wouters 2000-07-19 14:34:14 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 7e47402264 Spelling fixes supplied by Rob W. W. Hooft. All these are fixes in either
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").

There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
2000-07-16 12:04:32 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 70c21a1603 Move (actually copy) support for the sgi._getpty() function into
posix.openpty(). And conveniently also check if CVS write access really
works.

Jeremy Hylton 03657cfdb0 replace PyXXX_Length calls with PyXXX_Size calls 2000-07-12 13:05:33 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 10723347c6 - stupid typo. 2000-07-10 16:38:09 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 44328e60df -- get rid of a compiler warning on unix. (as reported
for #100836, but implemented in a different way)
2000-07-10 15:59:30 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 9ac81f69b2 - changed the nt.popen2 return values back to
(write, read, ...), based on feedback from GvR.

- added tuple-swapping code to popen2.py

- fixed some runaway indentation in posixmodule.c
2000-07-09 23:35:24 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh bb7eeff44a - added popen.popen2/popen3/popen4 support for
windows.

- added optional mode argument to popen2/popen3
  for unix; if the second argument is an integer,
  it's assumed to be the buffer size.

- changed nt.popen2/popen3/popen4 return values
  to match the popen2 module (stdout first, not
  stdin).
2000-07-09 17:59:32 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 766ccdcf18 - added optional bufsize argument to new popen methods.
for the moment, this argument must be left out or set
  to -1 (only the default bufsize is supported, that is)
2000-07-09 17:41:01 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh ffb9c770f8 - improved os.popen support for windows, based on win32pipe
by Bill Tutt.

  note: to run this on Windows 95/98, you need to have the
  w9xpopen.exe helper in the same directory as the python DLL.
2000-07-09 14:49:51 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh e25cfd8662 - fixed pointer size test in spawn functions. also added
cast to make sure Py_BuildValue gets the right thing.

  this change eliminates bogus return codes from successful
  spawn calls (e.g. 2167387144924954624 instead of 0).
2000-07-09 13:10:40 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh ff7df9d7b8 this one's a bit risky, but I've spent some considerable time
staring at the diffs before checking this one in.  let me know
asap if it breaks things on your platform.

-- ANSI-fying
   (patch #100763 by Peter Schneider-Kamp, minus the
    indentation changes and minus the changes the broke
    the windows build)

Fred Drake 49b0c3bafe Fix bug #392, reported by Jonathan Giddy <jon@dstc.edu.au>:
In posixmodule.c:posix_fork, the function PyOS_AfterFork is called for
both the parent and the child, despite the docs stating that it should
be called in the new (child) process.

This causes problems in the parent since the forking thread becomes the
main thread according to the signal module.

Calling PyOS_AfterFork() only in the child fixes this.  Changed for both
fork() and forkpty().

Guido van Rossum 64529cd7ce Crude way to fix a problem on AIX: #undef STAT before defining it. 2000-06-30 22:45:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 699f352fb2 Trent Mick <trentm@activestate.com>:
This patch fixes the posix module for large file support mainly on
Win64, although some general cleanup is done as well.

The changes are:

- abstract stat->STAT, fstat->FSTAT, and struct stat->STRUCT_STAT
This is because stat() etc. are not the correct functions to use on
Win64 (nor maybe on other platforms?, if not then it is now trivial to
select the appropriate one). On Win64 the appropriate system functions
are _stati64(), etc.

- add _pystat_fromstructstat(), it builds the return tuple for the
fstat system call. This functionality was being duplicated. As well
the construction of the tuple was modified to ensure no overflow of
the time_t elements (sizeof(time_t) > sizeof(long) on Win64).

- add overflow protection for the return values of posix_spawnv and
posix_spawnve

- use the proper 64-bit capable lseek() on Win64

- use intptr_t instead of long where appropriate from Win32/64 blocks
(sizeof(void*) > sizeof(long) on Win64)

This closes SourceForge patch #100513.

Fred Drake 8cef4cf737 Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>:
This patch adds the openpty() and forkpty() library calls to posixmodule.c,
when they are available on the target
system. (glibc-2.1-based Linux systems, FreeBSD and BSDI at least, probably
the other BSD-based systems as well.)

Lib/pty.py is also rewritten to use openpty when available, but falls
back to the old SGI method or the "manual" BSD open-a-pty
code. Openpty() is necessary to use the Unix98 ptys under Linux 2.2,
or when using non-standard tty names under (at least) BSDI, which is
why I needed it, myself ;-) forkpty() is included for symmetry.
2000-06-28 16:40:38 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 54c8dc2144 Patch from Trent Mick:
Fix a small bug in posixmodule.c where a char* is being
	dereferenced where it should not be.
2000-06-06 20:52:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 137507ea03 Michael Hudson <mwh21@cam.ac.uk>:
Removed PyErr_BadArgument() calls and replaced them with more useful
error messages.
2000-06-01 02:02:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 19dde103a8 Mark Hammond to the rescue:
Checkin 2.131 of posixmodule.c changed os.stat on Windows, so that
"/bin/" type notation (trailing backslash) would work on Windows to
be consistent with Unix.

However, the patch broke the simple case of: os.stat("\\")

This did work in 1.5.2, and obviously should!

This patch addresses this, and restores the correct behaviour.
2000-05-03 02:44:55 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3cef856dd9 posix_utime(): Allow the second argument to be None, which invokes the
utime(path, NULL) call, setting the atime and mtime of the file to the
current time.  The previous signature utime(path, (atime, mtime)) is
of course still allowed.
2000-05-01 16:17:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 50422b403c Michael Hudson:
This patch changes posixmodule.c:execv to

a) check for zero length args (does this to execve, too), raising
   ValueError.

b) raises more rational exceptions for various flavours of duff arguments.
   I *hate*
      TypeError: "illegal argument type for built-in operation"
   It has to be one of the most frustrating error messages ever.
2000-04-26 20:34:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ace88aebbb Patch by Brian Hooper, somewhat augmented by GvR, to strip a trailing
backslash from the pathname argument to stat() on Windows -- while on
Unix, stat("/bin/") succeeds and does the same thing as stat("/bin"),
on Windows, stat("\\windows\\") fails while stat("\\windows") succeeds.
This modified version of the patch recognizes both / and \.

(This is odd behavior of the MS C library, since
os.listdir("\\windows\\") succeeds!)
2000-04-21 18:54:45 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3155db3b79 setup_confname_table(): Close memory leak caused by not decref'ing the
inserted dictionary values.  Also, simplified the logic a bit.
2000-04-13 15:20:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ef40e77ac5 Sigh. On Windows, (mode_t)i fails. Assume that there's a prototype
in scope on systems where mode_t isn't the same size as int...
2000-03-31 01:26:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 49679b40b9 Oops, the previous patch contained a bug in chmod. Fixed now. 2000-03-31 00:48:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ffd15f5255 Two robustness patches:
(1) In opendir(), don't call the lock-release macros; we're
manipulating list objects and that shouldn't be done in unlocked
state.

(2) Don't use posix_strint() for chmod() -- the mode_t arg might be a
64 bit int (reported by Nick Maclaren).
