Fred Drake 16e81f4484 Update some of the top comments and shorten title of the first
section.

Fred Drake e1c717bd9b Moved whatsound to lib-old/, since it was declared obsolete and is documented
as such.
1999-02-24 18:59:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 0652a4e7d5 Use sndhdr instead of the obsolete whatsound module. 1999-02-24 18:49:15 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton dbc8364e1f When performing a POST request, i.e. when the second argument to
urlopen is used to specify form data, make sure the second argument is
threaded through all of the http_error_NNN calls.  This allows error
handlers like the redirect and authorization handlers to properly
re-start the connection.

Fred Drake 093c97a36f ignore_from_idx(): Fixed bug in regular expression. 1999-02-24 18:39:47 +00:00
Fred Drake 684f78fafe Add target for modindex.html; a combined lib+mac module index. Also
built with target "all".
1999-02-24 17:34:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 2ef38a7a42 Script to combine module index files. Given a list of files that look
like modindex.html, create a combined modindex.html file that lists
all the modules.  Takes the same parameters as buildindex.py.

Fred Drake 1b102456a6 Ignore a file called modindex.html. 1999-02-24 17:13:54 +00:00
Fred Drake 711fe02ac3 process_nodes(): New function.
main():  Moved the node processing between input and ouptut to
	 process_nodes().

Guido van Rossum 4fe6caaaf0 Patch by Lars Wirzenius:
o the initial comment is wrong: creating messages is already
	  implemented

	o Message.getbodytext: if the mail or it's part contains an
	  empty content-transfer-encoding header, the code used to
	  break; the change below treats an empty encoding value the same
	  as the other types that do not need decoding

	o SubMessage.getbodytext was missing the decode argument; the
	  change below adds it; I also made it unconditionally return
	  the raw text if decoding was not desired, because my own
	  routines needed that (and it was easier than rewriting my
	  own routines ;-)

Barry Warsaw 72b715d979 (initerrors): Make sure that the exception tuples ("base-classes" when
string-based exceptions are used) reflect the real class hierarchy,
i.e. that SystemExit derives from Exception not StandardError.
1999-02-24 00:35:43 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 40db48c5ec Document the correct class hierarchy for SystemExit. It is not an
error and so it derives from Exception and not SystemError.  The
docstring was incorrect but the implementation was fine.
1999-02-24 00:27:39 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f2b4554403 Document the correct class hierarchy for SystemExit. It is not an
error and so it derives from Exception and not SystemError.

Guido van Rossum 83c03e2d94 Add import sys, needed by reference to sys.exc_info() in rmtree().

Fred Drake 8cdee961bf Dictionaries are created using the "{...}" notation, not the "..."
notation.  Problem reported by Magnus L. Hetland <mlh@idt.ntnu.no>.

Guido van Rossum 3366d1c7e6 # Typo in docstring (Retrun -> Return). 1999-02-23 18:34:43 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 3f2c383a7e Now that we don't have AC_CHECK_LIB(m, pow), the HAVE_LIBM symbol
disappears.  It wasn't used anywhere anyway...
1999-02-23 18:07:31 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3791b0de36 Carefully check for overflow when allocating the memory for fromfile
-- someone tried to pass in sys.maxint and got bitten by the bogus
calculations.
1999-02-23 18:05:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 24f8579ee4 Get rid of AC_CHECK_LIB(m, pow) since this is taken care of later with
LIBM (from --with-libm=...); this actually broke the customizability
offered by the latter option.  Thanks go to Clay Spence for reporting
this.

Guido van Rossum 74ee886409 1. Print the error message (carefully) when a dl.open() fails in verbose mode.
2. When no test case worked, raise ImportError instead of failing.
1999-02-23 17:58:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 264bd59221 1. Clarify that immutability isn't entirely the same as unchangeable
value (because of immutable containers containing mutable objects).

2. Document that func_code, func_defaults and func_doc / __doc__ are
now writable.
1999-02-23 16:40:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 124eff0225 Patch by Tim Peters to improve the range checks for range() and
xrange(), especially for platforms where int and long are different
sizes (so sys.maxint isn't actually the theoretical limit for the
length of a list, but the largest C int is -- sys.maxint is the
largest Python int, which is actually a C long).
1999-02-23 16:11:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 717d1fdf2a 1. Augment the DG/UX rule so it doesn't break the BeOS build.
2. Add $(EXE) to various occurrences of python so it will work on
   Cygwin with egcs (after setting EXE=.exe).  These patches by
   Norman Vine.

Guido van Rossum 027188a382 According to Jeffrey Honig, bsd/os 2.0 - 4.0 should be added to the
list (of bsd variants that have a different lock structure).
1999-02-23 04:14:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5ef8f0c3c7 According to Jeffrey Honig, bsd/os 4.0 should be added to the list. 1999-02-23 04:13:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c222ec28a5 Patch by Tadayoshi Funaba (with some changes) to be smarter about
guessing what happened when strftime() returns 0.  Is it buffer
overflow or was the result simply 0 bytes long?  (This happens for an
empty format string, or when the format string is a single %Z and the
timezone is unknown.)  if the buffer is at least 256 times as long as
the format, assume the latter.

Fred Drake 1ec71cb556 Incorporated updates to describe geturl() by Sjoerd Mullender

1999-02-22 22:42:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4505895e68 As Des Barry points out, we need to call pathname2url(file) in two
calls to addinfourl() in open_file().

Guido van Rossum 360eb9f278 We don't support leap seconds, so the seconds field of a time 9-tuple
should be in the range [0-59].  Noted by Tadayoshi Funaba.

Guido van Rossum 5bd69db9f0 In atoi(), don't use isxdigit() to test whether the last character
converted was a "digit" -- use isalnum().  This test is there only to
guard against "+" or "-" being interpreted as a valid int literal.
Reported by Takahiro Nakayama.

Fred Drake 0fb7a37667 Reflect the released version. 1999-02-22 15:58:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fb801e7d33 As Finn Bock points out, _P_WAIT etc. don't have a leading underscore
so they don't need to be treated specially here.

Fred Drake 0df2188d08 Typo: "apparentlt" --> "apparently" 1999-02-22 15:38:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 974e32d910 Steve Clift pointed out that 'file' allows a netloc. 1999-02-22 15:38:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 61eeb044d7 The docstring for ttyname(..) claims a second "mode" argument. The
actual code does not allow such an argument.  (Finn Bock.)

Guido van Rossum 11a8d0b684 Dang. Even though this is obsolete code, somebody found a bug, and I
fix it.  Oh well.
