* many files: made some functions static; removed "extern int errno;".
* frozenmain.c: fixed bugs introduced on 24 June...
* flmodule.c: remove 1.5 bw compat hacks, add new functions in 2.2a
(and some old functions that were omitted).
* timemodule.c: added MSDOS floatsleep version .
* pgenmain.c: changed exit() to goaway() and added defn of goaway().
* intrcheck.c: add hack (to UNIX only) so interrupting 3 times
will exit from a hanging program. The second interrupt prints
a message explaining this to the user.
(the latter also in frozenmain.c)
* ceval.c: global 'killprint' flag raises exception when printing an
expression statement's value (useful for finding stray output)
* timemodule.c: add asctime() and ctime(). Change julian date to
1-based origin (as intended and documented).
* Removed unused DO_TIMES stuff from timemodule.c. Added 'epoch' and
'day0' globals (year where time.time() == 0 and day of the week the
epoch started).
* 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!
Added $(SYSDEF) to its build rule in Makefile.
* cgensupport.[ch], modsupport.[ch]: removed some old stuff. Also
changed files that still used it... And made several things static
that weren't but should have been... And other minor cleanups...
* listobject.[ch]: add external interfaces {set,get}listslice
* socketmodule.c: fix bugs in new send() argument parsing.
* sunaudiodevmodule.c: added flush() and close().
Keep aspect and max size of window at all times.
Remove (now unnecessary) sleep(0.1) in vcr capture code.
Add messages when initializing VCR.
Remove old comments.
because of buffering. Also added several new commands (Jack).
VFile.py: Made setting of RGB or colormap mode separate methods,
so they can be overridden (e.g. when using the Glx.draw widget
the way to change the mode is totally different).
* 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()
function found as instance data.
* socketmodule.c: added 'flags' argument sendto/recvfrom, rewrite
argument parsing in send/recv.
* More changes related to access (terminology change: owner instead of
class; allow any object as owner; local/global variables are owned
by their dictionary, only class/instance data is owned by the class;
"from...import *" now only imports objects with public access; etc.)
* 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 "access *: ...", made access work for class methods.
* Introduced subclass check: make sure that when calling
ClassName.methodname(instance, ...), the instance is an instance of
ClassName or of a subclass thereof (this might break some old code!)
yet). The class is now passed to eval_code and stored in the current
frame. It is also stored in instance method objects. An "unbound"
instance method is now returned when a function is retrieved through
"classname.funcname", which when called passes the class to eval_code.
(1) dictionaries/mappings now have attributes values() and items() as
well as keys(); at the C level, use the new function mappinggetnext()
to iterate over a dictionary.
(2) "class C(): ..." is now illegal; you must write "class C: ...".
(3) Class objects now know their own name (finally!); and minor
improvements to the way how classes, functions and methods are
represented as strings.
(4) Added an "access" statement and semantics. (This is still
experimental -- as long as you don't use the keyword 'access' nothing
should be changed.)
before it.
* ceval.c, object.c: moved testbool() to object.c (now extern visible)
* stringobject.c: fix bugs in and rationalize string resize in formatstring()
* tokenizer.[ch]: fix non-working code for lines longer than BUFSIZ
