A few random updates to make things less horrifyingly out of date.
...
Delete some advice that can never, ever have worked.
There are a couple of XXX comments for bits I don't know how to
update. It would be really good not to release Python 2.5 with these
in place :)
This file is way too big. There's basically no chance of it staying
up to date.

I'd forgotten that tcsh was the default for 10.1, but SF's 10.1 system
...
uses bash and so does my 10.2 system. "limit stacksize 2048" is the
right invocation for tcsh/csh.
2002-10-14 18:15:35 +00:00

There was a typo in the MacOSX section regarding the stacksize issue.

There's no limit command near as I can tell. Should be the bash
builtin ulimit command.

This introduces stricter library/header file checking for the Berkeley DB
...
library. Since multiple versions can be installed simultaneously, it's
crucial that you only select libraries and header files which are compatible
with each other. Version checking is done from highest version to lowest.
Building using version 1 of Berkeley DB is disabled by default because of
the hash file bugs people keep rediscovering. It can be enabled by
uncommenting a few lines in setup.py. Closes patch 553108.

Mass checkin of universal newline support.
...
Highlights: import and friends will understand any of \r, \n and \r\n
as end of line. Python file input will do the same if you use mode 'U'.
Everything can be disabled by configuring with --without-universal-newlines.
See PEP278 for details.
