comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
Python on UNIX now trusts PYTHONHOME unconditionally
Modules/getpath.c:
Landmark changed to os.py.
Setting PYTHONHOME now unconditionally sets sys.prefix
(and sys.exec_prefix). No further checks are done whether the
standard lib can be found in that location or not. This is in
sync with the PC subdir getpath implementations.
PC/getpathp.c:
Landmark changed to os.py.
PC/os2vacpp/getpathp.c:
Landmark changed to os.py.
Note: BAW's checkin on exceptions.c eliminates earlier concerns about
a bogus PYTHONHOME value leading to a core dump. Instead it causes a
useless sys.path and prevents imports.
For more comments, read the patches@python.org archives.
For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.
(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode. I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)
string_append(). These must be artifacts of GvR's rewrite.
Fixed some typos in the leading comment (and re-filled the
paragraphs).
Hope you don't mind, Guido.
Idea and first three implementation rounds due to Barry -- after that
I spent another day on it, hopefully it's enough for now :-)
(Wait for the checkin to Setup.in.)
