pickle.py: new low-level persistency module (used to be called flatten)
dbmac.py: stupid dbm clone for the Mac
anydbm.py: generic dbm interface (should be extended to support gdbm)
urllib.py: '+' is not always safe (even though the RFC says so :-( )
whrandom.py: throw away top bits of time to avoid overflow on Mac
(where times can be negative)
* Lib/macpath.py: don't return trailing colon for dirname()
(XXX won't do for volume names -- but otherwise glob(':*:*.py')
loops forever)
* Lib/traceback.py: print SyntaxError correctly
* Lib/stat.py: moved to posixstat.py; added macstat.py which has
the constants for the Mac; and created new stat.py which includes
the right one
* Lib/urllib.py: fix caching bug (by disabling the cache)
proper argument
* Lib/{bdb,cmd,pdb}.py: Mods by Rickard Westman: No longer barfs
on lambda:s (outputs "<lambda>" as the function name); "a(rgs)" in
pdb now works; help messages added to pdb (lifted from pdb.doc).
Also, "h pdb" calls pdb.help(). cmd.do_help() displays topics on
a nicer way (I think). Also, topics for which there is a help_
method, but no do_method (like "pdb" above) are displayed in a
special way. My own mod: fix break on function to also support
methods.
* Setup.in: moreButtons Tk extension support (again).
* mklibapp: $1 is now the path to the Tk extension source
directory. The default is /usr/local/src/tcl.
* kill.py: Don't use the exec Tcl command.
* Tkinter.py
(Misc.bind_all): Bug fix; extra graves.
(Misc.tk_strictMotif): Return the value.
(mainloop, getint, getdouble, getboolean): New functions.
(_cnfmerge): Flatten cnfs.

* Tkinter.py:
(Tk.destroy): master is always None; so don't del. Found by
Tommy Burnette, solution from Guido van Rossum.
(Misc.selection_get): Missing return. Found by Richard Neitzel.
(Misc._options, Widget.config, Canvas._create): If cnf is a tuple
or list then merge the contents. Suggested by Matthew Conway.
* README: Doc fix.
* Dialog.py: tk_dialog wrapper widget.
* Tkinter.py: (Widget) Code moved from __init__ to _setup.
Sat Jun 25 00:27:24 1994 Steen Lumholt (lumholt@login.dkuug.dk)
* Tkinter.py (Misc): selection_own and selection_own_get methods.
(Misc.winfo_toplevel): Return widget.
* kill.py: New demo.
* Tkinter.py: tk_menuBar method moved from Menu class to
Misc class.
(Scrollbar.get): Bug fix; self._getints not self.tk.getints.
Fri Jun 24 17:42:16 1994 Steen Lumholt (lumholt@login.dkuug.dk)
* Tkinter.py
(Variable, StringVar, IntVar, BooleanVar): New classes.
* mklibapp: New shell script.
* Setup.in: moreButtons Tk extension support.
* tkintermodule.c (Tkapp_New): Remove #ifdef WITH_APPINIT.
* appinit.c (Tcl_AppInit): New file and function.
* Tkinter.py:
(Button): Dummy args in tk_* methods.
(Studbutton, Tributton): New widget by <tnb2d@cs.virginia.edu>;
morebuttons extension.
Thu Jun 23 22:22:43 1994 Steen Lumholt (lumholt@login.dkuug.dk)
* tkintermodule.c (FileHandler): Make arg a tuple; bug found
by <tnb2d@cs.virginia.edu>. Call the Python file handler
function with (file, mask) argument. Fix a few of my refcnt bugs.
multifile.py: added readlines() and read() methods
mimetools.py: mimetools.py: added functions to encode/decode standard MIME
Content-transfer-encoding types (as well as uuencode)
rfc822.py: Accept lines ending in CR LF as well
(Misc.after): arrange to call deletecommand after it is called.
(Canvas.itemconfig): generalized to support all forms.
(Canvas.find): returns a list of integers instead of strings.
* Tkinter.py (Canvas._create): call _flatten earlier.
Renamed tkerror to _tkerror, default_root to _default_root.
(_substitute, _subst_prefix): move back into class Misc; added
widget Event attribute.
Added functions that return widgets or widget lists:
winfo_children; focus_get; grab_current.
(Pack.slaves, Place.slaves): return Widget objects instead of
pathnames.
Renamed __del__() to destroy() (because of circular refs, __del__
won't ever be called).
Added some names with explicit _set: focus_set, focus_default_set,
grab_set.
Added focus_default_none.
(Misc._getints): use tk.splitlist() instead of tk.split(), return
None if string empty.
