constructors. There is no backward compatibility. Not everything has
been tested.
* aiff.{py,doc}: deleted in favor of aifc.py (which contains its docs as
comments)
variables can still be seen by the debugger
* ftplib.py (retrlines): args should be *args.
* ChangeLog: entries for Sjoerd's addition sunau.py and changes to aiff.py
* test_md5.py: test program for built-in md5 module
use audioop module as backup for cl module when reading or
writing u-law compressed files.
sunau.py: interface with the same methods as aifc for Sun and NeXT
audio files
reduce)
* ftplib.py: added default callback for retrlines; added dir() method
* ftplib.py: don't return self in self.connect(); added hack so that if
'CDUP' is not understood, 'CWD ..' is tried.
* ftplib.py: second method called init() should have been called
connect(); if __init__ sees more than one argument, it will also try to
login().
* test_grammar.py, testall.out: added test for funny things in string literals
* token.py, symbol.py: definitions used with built-in parser module.
* tokenize.py: added double-quote recognition
negative start indices starting from the right.
* ftplib.py: debug() -> set_debuglevel(); change demo to use __init__().
* os.py: added execl, execlp, and execvp.
* lambda.py: removed (now that we have built-in map, reduce, bagof, lambda)
* test_b{1,2}.py, testall.out: added tests for bagof, lambda, map, reduce
* commands.py: use os, not posix
* test_grammar.py: make it easy to disable non-portable int overflow tests
* dis.py: don't abuse range()
* builtin.py: b/w compat for builtin -> __builtin__ name change
* string.py: added atof() and atol() and corresponding exceptions
* test_types.py: added test for list sort with user comparison function
local or global variables list and you get a window with the instance
variable of the class instance. This list is of course automatically
kept up to date.
* imghdr.py: added jpeg recognition
* torgb.py: added jpeg conversion
* tzparse.py: use functions from time instead of calendar
* whatsound.py: add /ufs/guido/biin/sgi to $PATH when calling 'whatsound'
* calendar.py: remove stuff now built in time; some cleanup and
generalization in the calendar printing
* cmd.py: use __init__.
* tzparse.py: This module is no longer necessary -- use builtin time instead!
* sndhdr.py: renamed to whatsound.py; use new aifc module for AIFF/AIFC
* ftplib.py: added close() (closes without sending QUIT command)
* aifc.py: documented close()
* Several modules: change "class C(): ..." to "class C: ...".
* flp.py: support for frozen forms.
* Added string.find() which is like index but returns -1 if not found
* Added whatis command to pdb.py
* new module GET.py (GL definitions from <gl/get.h>)
* rect.py: is_empty takes a rect as argument, not two points.
* Added tests for builtin round() [XXX not yet complete!]
* Fixed calendar.py, mimetools.py, whrandom.py to cope with time.time()
returning a floating point number. (And fix old bug in calendar)
* Add recursion level to mainloop.mainloop(), to make it reentrant.
cdplayer.py: It is now also possible to give the CD's TOC as argument
to init(). The TOC is a string consisting of 2 digits giving the
number of tracks and then for each track the length of the track as
number of minutes and number of seconds (2 digits each).
cddb.py: Interface to the .cddb directory. Usage is the same as for
cdplayer.py.
* Many modules: fixes for new, stricter, argument passing rules
(most changes were automatic ones -- not all of this is tested!).
* gwin.py: now uses mainloop.py for its main loop and window admin.
* mainloop.py: always call dispatch() with event as a tuple!
* Fix bug in pdb's 'clear' command -- don't set the bpt but clear it!
embryonic facility for pseudo-modal dialogs.
* stdwinevents.py: added modifier masks for key/mouse events
* renamed exceptions in nntplib.py
* Changed string.join() to call string.joinfields() to profit of
strop.joinfields()
* changed eval() into getattr() in cmd.py
* added dirname(), basename() and (dummy) normath() to macpath.py
* renamed nntp.py to nntplib.py
* Made string.index() compatible with strop.index()
* Make string.atoi('') raise string.atoi_error rather than ValueError
* Added dirname() and normpath() to posixpath.
Added runcall(func, *args) interfaces to profile.py, bdb.py, pdb.py, wdb.py
Added new module bisect.py and used it in sched.py.
Mostly cosmetic changes to profile.py (changed output format).
