Jack Jansen 8de9f81e8f This shouldn't have been here in the first place. 2000-09-10 20:45:10 +00:00
Jack Jansen e9e0d47077 Release notes for 2.0b1. It is not much, but I can't find all the info back:-( 2000-09-10 12:17:31 +00:00

Mark Hammond e61aca7d4a Patch for [ Bug #113828 ] getpythonregpath with null data in registry key

Also wraps some surrounding lines to 80 chars.

Tim Peters bb307343e4 General cleanup in preparation for a bugfix: removed unused code, useless
declarations, added some comments where I had to think too hard to
understand what was happening, and changed the primary internal get/set
functions to assert they're passed objects of the correct type instead of
doing runtime tests for that (it's an internal error that "should never
happen", so it's good enough to check it only in the debug build).

Greg Ward d0e4b42ee2 Added --python and --fix-python options for better control over what
interpreter the .spec file refers to.
Cosmetic tweaks.

Tim Peters 4826a894c5 Close SF bug 110826: a complaint about the way Python #define'd NULL.
It's hard to sort out what the bug was, exactly.  So, Big Hammer:

1. Python shouldn't be in the business of #define'ing NULL, period.
2. Users of the Python C API shouldn't be in the business of not including
   Python.h, period.

Hence:

1. Removed all #define's of NULL in Python source code (pyport.h and
   object.h).
2. Since we're *relying* on stdio.h defining NULL, put an #error in
   Python.h after its #include of stdio.h if NULL isn't defined then.

Thomas Heller ecaf0d8b47 The installer now displays info about version of distutils
used to create the distribution and the creation date.

Takes care of the extra_path argument to the setup function,
installs the modules into <prefix>/extra_path and creates
a -pth file (like install_lib does).
2000-09-09 21:15:12 +00:00
Thomas Heller b943840a78 The windows installer must also look under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key
for python installations, not only under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Fred Drake b37bdc2c7c Do not try to fix bugs while sleeping.
Paid more attention to the comments on the report; Martin suggested just
not having a __del__() method, which makes more sense in this case.  So
I have removed it.

This closes SourceForge bug #113850.  Again.
2000-09-09 06:29:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 16c4aa441b Kevin Jacobs <jacobs@darwin.cwru.edu>:
The posixfile __del__ method attempts to close the file (_file_) it
contains. However, if the open() method fails, then _file_ is never
assigned.

This closes SourceForge bug #113850.

Tim Peters 8f422461b4 Fix for bug 113934. string*n and unicode*n did no overflow checking at
all, either to see whether the # of chars fit in an int, or that the
amount of memory needed fit in a size_t.  Checking these is expensive, but
the alternative is silently wrong answers (as in the bug report) or
core dumps (which were easy to provoke using Unicode strings).

Fred Drake 643d76d735 Add support for new \pep, \seepep, excclassdesc markup.
Update processing of module synopsis tables (found at the beginning of
most chapters of the library reference) to reflect changes in the
processing pattern of recent versions LaTeX2HMTL.  Requires most
recent change to SynopsisTable.pm.

This does not fix the module index problem.
2000-09-09 06:07:37 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e607964d1 excclassdesc: New environment. For use in documenting class-based
exceptions which have interesting constructor signatures.

\pep, \seepep:  New macros.  Equivalent to \rfc and \seerfc, but
        referring to the PEP series instead of the Internet RFC
        series of documents.
2000-09-09 06:01:25 +00:00
Fred Drake 75c6cb909c Add support for a filename to record the name of the node in which the

Fred Drake 1172a85175 Really minor consistency nit. 2000-09-09 03:31:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 66571cc20c Improve a couple of references to the language reference, making them
hyperlinks to relevant sections.

Clarify the conditions under which the "softspace" attribute of file-like
objects can "just work" (with relation to overriding of attribute access
in user-defined classes).
2000-09-09 03:30:34 +00:00

Fred Drake 1c4efad770 Move the "See also" section to a location more consistent with other

Fred Drake 621d2bee1c Move description of UserString.MutableString to a location more typical
