Guido van Rossum 2781fbe46c Word completion for the new readline.set_completer() function.
When completing a simple identifier, it completes keywords, built-ins
and globals in __main__; when completing NAME.NAME..., it evaluates
(!) the expression up to the last dot and completes its attributes.

It's very cool to do "import string" type "string.", hit the
completion key (twice), and see the list of names defined by the
string module!

Tip: to use the tab key as the completion key, call

    readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")

Guido van Rossum 290900a5d7 Reordered and reformatted, and added some cool new features:
set_completer(function)
parse_and_bind(string)
read_init_file(filename)

The first is the most exciting feature: with an appropriate Python
completer function, it can do dynamic completion based on the contents
of your namespace!

Guido van Rossum 03be7f525e Changes by jack so the generated modules export their types
to Python.

Guido van Rossum 6dd4868681 The command can now either be a string (as before) or a list of
arguments for execvp (for those who don't want the shell's argument
parsing).

Barry Warsaw 963b871e86 Py_Initialize(): move the call to _PyImport_FixupExtension() to after
the phase 2 init of the __builtin__ module, so that multiple
interpreters will get the right exceptions.

Barry Warsaw b01a7fa5f8 initerrors(): Eliminate circular reference which was causing a small
but annoying memory leak.  This was introduced when PyExc_Exception
was added; the loop above populating the PyExc_StandardError exception
tuple started at index 1 in bltin_exc, but PyExc_Exception was added
at index 0, so PyExc_StandardError was getting inserted in itself!
How else can a tuple include itself?!

Change the loop to start at index 2.

This was a *fun* one! :-)

<module> == "exceptions".

Guido van Rossum 0474832d9c Introduce PyExc_Exception as the conceptual root class for all exceptions. 1997-09-16 18:43:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c56ba38350 Two subtle changes:
(1) Introduce Exception as the conceptual root class for all exceptions.

(2) Do less work in __init__(), and more in __str__ (store args
unchanged).

Guido van Rossum 3d26cc9542 Move the "import readline" to an earlier place so it is also done when
"-i" is given.  (Yes, I know, giving in to Marc Lemburg who wanted
this :-)

Guido van Rossum a2f626ff58 Patch by Case Roole <cjr@bound.xs4all.nl> to fail with a more
explanatory message when the manual directories aren't found.
(I have to say I'm surprised that it actually still works!)

Guido van Rossum 7883e1dfbd Entirely rewritten parseaddr() function by Sjoerd Mullender.
(Includes a patch he sent me a few days later.)

Guido van Rossum 83551bfeda Export names for the types defined by this module: TkappType and TkttType. 1997-09-13 00:44:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4fb5b28dfc Three independent changes:
- Don't use "from copy_reg import *".

- Use cls.__module__ instead of calling whichobject(cls, cls.__name__);
  also try __module__ in whichmodule(), just in case.

- After calling save_reduce(), add the object to the memo.

Guido van Rossum 7cc56eb524 When creating a class, set its __module__ attribute to the module
whose name is in the current globals' __name__ variable.  If __name__
is not set, ignore this.

Guido van Rossum 626a8d034c Added hint to skip the heavy stuff on first reading. 1997-09-11 23:01:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7ade6da866 As Paul Prescod pointed out, metaprogramming is really something
different (programs that write programs).  We are dealing with
metaclasses here.  So change the words slightly.

Guido van Rossum abffd00502 Install config.h under $exec_prefix/include rather than $exec_prefix/lib. 1997-09-11 14:37:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0207e6de38 Added docstrings. Not for the obsolete functions though. 1997-09-09 22:04:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c172f26861 Deleted find_module_in_package and find_module_in_directory -- they
aren't needed and it was a mistake to add them.
1997-09-09 20:54:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3cdb8f3286 Update the description and the example to the new functionality, which
is mostly concentrated in a generalized find_module() and the new
load_module().  Added the new module type constants.  Declare that
SEARCH_ERROR and a whole bunch of module-type-specific functions are
obsolete.

Guido van Rossum 501d0bb7ad *** empty log message *** 1997-09-09 20:35:20 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a86f77d4dd Crrected a flow control error that caused the wrong error message when
load-module() didn't find a built-in or frozen module.  Also got rid
of is_frozen(), which duplicated the functionality of
find_frozen()!=NULL.
