handlers "return void", according to ANSI C.
Removed the new Py_RETURN_FROM_SIGNAL_HANDLER macro.
Left RETSIGTYPE in the config stuff, because it's not clear to
me that others aren't relying on it (e.g., extension modules).
and a couple of functions that were missed in the previous batches. Not
terribly tested, but very carefully scrutinized, three times.
All these were found by the little findkrc.py that I posted to python-dev,
which means there might be more lurking. Cases such as this:
long
func(a, b)
long a;
long b; /* flagword */
{
and other cases where the last ; in the argument list isn't followed by a
newline and an opening curly bracket. Regexps to catch all are welcome, of
course ;)

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.)
new:
readline.get_begidx() -> int
gets the beginning index in the command line string
delimiting the tab-completion scope. This would
probably be used from within a tab-completion
handler
readline.get_endidx() -> int
gets the ending index in the command line string
delimiting the tab-completion scope. This would
probably be used from within a tab-compeltion
handler
readline.set_completer_delims(string) -> None
sets the delimiters used by readline as word breakpoints
for tab-completion
readline.get_completer_delims() -> string
gets the delimiters used by readline as word breakpoints
for tab-completion
fixed:
readline.get_line_buffer() -> string
doesnt cause a debug message every other call
Purify) being caused by a bug in the readline library. Nothing we can
do about it.
Cause: readline_initialize_everything() throws away the return value
from rl_read_init_file(), but that happens to be the last reference to
a dynamically allocated char*.
save and restore the tstate, but explicitly calling
PyEval_SaveThread() does reset it! While I think about how to fix
this for real, here's a fix that avoids getting a fatal error.
set_completer(function)
parse_and_bind(string)
read_init_file(filename)
The first is the most exciting feature: with an appropriate Python
completer function, it can do dynamic completion based on the contents
of your namespace!
