pythonmac-sig about turning this all into a package, so in the mean time
there is no reason to scribble all over people's disks. Interested parties
can uncomment them.
Peter Schneider-Kamp.
Clarified some docstrings in the spirit of the patch; left out the
degrees() and radians() functions (see the patch comments on SF).
Also fix another bug caught by pychecker-- HTTPError() raised when
redirect limit exceed did not pass an fp object. Had to change method
to keep fp object around until it's certain that the error won't be
raised.
Remove useless line in do_proxy().
attribute values. Just using escape() can (and always has) led to broken
XML being generated. This makes sure it always produces the right thing.
This actually closes SF bug #440351.
break old code (in extreme cases). See SF bug #448153.
Add a new subclass IterableUserDict that has the __iter__ method.
Note that for new projects, unless backwards compatibility with
pre-2.2 Python is required, subclassing 'dictionary' is recommended;
UserDict might become deprecated.
- Add an explicit call to PyType_Ready(&PyList_Type) to pythonrun.c
(just for the heck of it, really -- we should either explicitly
ready all types, or none).
__all__, to indicate these are implied as part of the public API.
IDLE's "Check Module" command uses this, and it broke once already
because the reset_globals() and tokeneater() functions were deleted
when Neil converted this to using the generator API of tokenizer.
(See SF bug #448835.)
- Add comment blocks explaining add_operators() and override_slots().
(This file could use some more explaining, but this is all I had
breath for today. :)
- Renamed the argument 'base' of add_wrappers() to 'wraps' because
it's not a base class (which is what the 'base' identifier is used
for elsewhere).
Small nits:
- Fix add_tp_new_wrapper() to avoid overwriting an existing __new__
descriptor in tp_defined.
- In add_operators(), check the return value of add_tp_new_wrapper().
Functional change:
- Remove the tp_new functionality from PyBaseObject_Type; this means
you can no longer instantiate the 'object' type. It's only useful
as a base class.
- To make up for the above loss, add tp_new to dynamic types. This
has to be done in a hackish way (after override_slots() has been
called, with an explicit call to add_tp_new_wrapper() at the very
end) because otherwise I ran into recursive calls of slot_tp_new().
Sigh.
mistake).
+ Arrange for Win2K Add/Remove to show a Python icon.
I think this "does it" -- a full install/uninstall can now be done on a
Win2K box from an ordinary (not Admin, not Power User) user acct, incl.
file extension registration, Start Menu entries, and full Add/Remove.
moddirlist and incdirlist, lists of source and include
directories that are searched for modules.
This is needed because the Mac modules and include files
live in the Mac subtree.
In addition (and that's actually what the mod is all about) on OSX we build all the Mac extension modules.
been overwriting them even if they have the same version, not just if
they're an older version (and our installers have always done this).
+ Added an "Advanced Options" subdialog to "Select Components". Allows
to do a non-admin install even if you have Administrator rights, and
to skip registering file extensions and/or creating Start Menu
shortcuts. Since so far these installers have been tested only by me,
and Win2K has been full of surprises, I want those options available
out in the field.
Lots of web searching turned up what should have been obvious: Because
Windows Installer is a native Win2K service, it can run at a higher
privilege level than the user invoking it. So MSI installs don't bash
into these permission gotchas on Win2K, but Wise 8.1 does (it's just
another app to Win2K, and we're not alone in wrestling with this; but,
like changing int division in Python, Win2K is doing a right thing <wink>).
