Fred Drake 31b761e326 Spelling: internalization --> internationalization
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.

Thomas Heller 1dbe9d5247 Removed the extra_dirs and path_file metadata options.
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.

Fred Drake 4ce4f2eedd os.startfile() documentation, based on text from Tim Peters. 2000-09-29 04:15:19 +00:00
Tim Peters 42c83afd14 The 2.0b2 change to write .pyc files in exclusive mode (if possible)
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.

Fred Drake 3cc7e4d083 Update list of extension modules that may be interesting to enable on
most modern Unix flavors.

The age of this portion of the README was noted in SourceForge bug #115625.
2000-09-29 00:30:05 +00:00
Fred Drake 8179a9de6b Clarify that the Tk interface is not enabled by default when building
from sources, not in general.

This closes SourceForge bug #115608.

Andrew M. Kuchling 36d97ebd58 Add #ifdef's for platforms that don't have the constants POLLRDNORM and
friends.  (Modified version of patch #101682 from Neil Schemenauer)

Fred Drake 8a9db99760 Updated documentation relating to the various flavors of popen[234]()
for Windows & Unix.
2000-09-28 20:27:51 +00:00
Thomas Heller 18b9b93df3 Removed the implib_dir instance variable because it is unused.
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.

Fred Drake 20af3172ce popen4(): Added for Unix.
Fixed a typo in a docstring.
2000-09-28 19:10:56 +00:00
Fred Drake d75e63a865 popen4(), class Popen4: popen4() support for Unix.
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.

Fred Drake 38cb9f1f17 Convert all entries on sys.path to absolute paths, and also update the
__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.

Fred Drake b4e460ac4b Avoid import of string module; it is only needed for expandvars().
Never assume that os.sep is for the module-specific platform; use the
right separator character directly.
Fix some minor style consistency nits.

Fred Drake b64c2239b0 Minor ANSIfication: lib_python no longer needs to be initialized
dynamically to support K&R C since we are requiring an ANSI compiler.

Fred Drake 44774c9429 Add regex and regsub to the list of undocumented obsolete modules. 2000-09-28 05:31:39 +00:00
Fred Drake 954383356f Added some tests for the truncate() method; one is commented out because
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).
2000-09-28 04:25:33 +00:00
Fred Drake e0a7f4f9d5 Add truncate() method to StringIO objects.

not terribly useful.

Fred Drake a6debecce5 Fix includes; not including Python.h caused the module not to compile on
some platforms.

This *should* close SourceForge patch #115506.

Fred Drake 2a37f9f862 Allow spaces in section names.
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.

Jeremy Hylton 6372fe1e40 Fix buffer overflow vulnerabilities in calculate_path(). Code used

Andrew M. Kuchling be870dd96f Added a section describing the new development process. Part of it
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.

Greg Ward ef850def44 Bump version to 1.0pre. 2000-09-27 02:26:57 +00:00
Greg Ward 264cf74e1a Remove deprecation warnings on old 'link_*()' methods, ie. they're not
deprecated after all.  But now they're only implemented once, instead
of N times.
2000-09-27 02:24:21 +00:00
Greg Ward 4240648a9d Big patch from Rene Liebscher to simplify the CCompiler API and
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

Fred Drake 0872e05851 Fix handling of file inputs on Windows; passing them to urllib.urlopen()
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.
