Fixed displays of the interactive prompt in running text.
These close SourceForge bug #115658.
Also:
Updated discussion of tuple unpacking to reflect the general ability
to unpack any sequence type. Explained that it is possible to create
tuples which contain mutable values, and noted in the dictionary
section that such tuples cannot be used as keys.
Noted that .pyc and .pyo files can be run directly when provided as
the script parameter to the interpreter, and slightly clarified
comments about using modules with only the byte compiled code.
Removed some XXX comments that are no longer relevant.
Removed commented-out paragraph about __private names being experimental.
Adjusted markup for consistency in some places.
They are unneeded: All this stuff is already done by the
install command which is run by bdist_wininst.
One bug has been fixed:
The root of the fake install tree is install.install_purelib,
not install.install_lib!
They are different if the extra_path option is used in
the setup function.
Rebuild after the changes to wininst.exe.
unintentionally caused them to get written in text mode under Windows.
As a result, when .pyc files were later read-- in binary mode --the
magic number was always wrong (note that .pyc magic numbers deliberately
include \r and \n characters, so this was "good" breakage, 100% across
all .pyc files, not random corruption in a subset). Fixed that.
Removed get_ext_libname() because it is unused.
Fixed get_libraries() to append an '_d' to the python debug
import library. If MSVC is used, do not add 'pythonxx.lib' to
the list of libraries, because this is handled better
by a pragma in config.h.
This should fix bug #115595, but it needs some more testing.
popen2(), popen3(): Reversed order of bufsize and mode parameters to
comply with what was here before (Python 1.5.2).
class Popen3: Factored the __init__() into a more basic initializer and
a helper method, to allow some re-use by the Popen4 class.
Use os.dup2() instead of os.dup() to create the proper
file descriptors in the child process.
This closes SourceForge bug #115330 and partially closes#115353.
__file__ attributes of already-imported modules to be absolute. This helps
robustify the interpreter against os.chdir() calls from the application.
Only remove setdefaultencoding() from sys if it exists; if this module is
run as a script (since there is a _test() function that gets run), it broke
because the script attempts to remove it again after the import of site
has already done so. This allows the module to be run as a script again.
makepath(): New function, standardizes all pathname normalization in one
place.
cStringIO does not get it right (reported as SF bug #115531).
Added test for ValueError when write() is called on a closed StringIO
object. Commented out because cStringIO does not get it right
(reported as SF bug #115530).
Do not expose the __name__ when reporting the list of options available
for a section since that is for internal use.
This closes SourceForge bug #115357.
Additionally, define InterpolationDepthError and MAX_INTERPOLATION_DEPTH.
The exception is raised by get*() when value interpolation cannot be
completed within the defined recursion limit. The constant is only
informative; changing it will not affect the allowed depth.
Fix the exit from get() so that None is not returned if the depth is met
or exceeded; either return the value of raise InterpolationDepthError.
copied strings from environment variables and argv[0] into
fixed-length buffers without checking their length.
Reported by Stan Bubrouski; advice on fix from John Viega.
comes from two comp.lang.tcl postings of mine, with much rewriting
and expansion of the material.
Note that 2.0 will be released in the autumn, not the summer.
implementations. Details:
* replace 'link_shared_object()', 'link_shared_lib()', and
'link_executable()' with 'link()', which is (roughly)
the union of the three methods it replaces
* in all implementation classes (UnixCCompiler, MSVCCompiler, etc.),
ditch the old 'link_*()' methods and replace them with 'link()'
* in the abstract base class (CCompiler), add the old 'link_*()'
methods as wrappers around the new 'link()' (they also print
a warning of the deprecated interface)
Also increases consistency between MSVCCompiler and BCPPCompiler,
hopefully to make it easier to factor out the mythical WindowsCCompiler
class. Details:
* use 'self.linker' instead of 'self.link'
* add ability to compile resource files to BCPPCompiler
* added (redundant?) 'object_filename()' method to BCPPCompiler
* only generate a .def file if 'export_symbols' defined
caused the drive letter to cause urlopen() to think it was an unrecognized
URL scheme. This only passes system ids to urlopen() if the file does not
exist. It works on Windows & Unix.
It should work everywhere else as well.
In the limits.h comment, noted that INT_MAX and LONG_MAX are guaranteed
to be defined.
Noted that Reliant UNIX now gets proper API support for extension modules.
