folks were particularly problematic for their students. (The other

could probably stand to have some of the internal things like Marshaller
documented. But I think it does a decent job on the entry points and
externally visible things.
Fred and Fredrik, do your stuff! You both need to proof this.
Also note that it isn't just Linux nice() that is broken: at least FreeBSD
and BSDI also have this problem. os.nice() should probably just be emulated
using getpriority()/setpriority(), if they are available, but I'll get to
that later.
decode(): While writing tests for uu.py, Nick Mathewson discovered
that the 'Truncated input file' exception could never get raised,
because its "if not str:" test was actually testing the builtin
function "str", not the local string vrbl "s" as intended.
Bugfix candidate.
fragile. Now the leading "0x" on hex numbers are displayed as labels
and the type-in entry fields just accept the hex digits. Be sure to
strip off the "0x" string when displaying hex values too.
Also, de-string-module-ification, and other Python 2.x improvements.
This patch allows the readline module to build cleanly with GNU
readline 4.2 without breaking the build for earlier GNU readline
versions. The configure script checks for the presence of
rl_completion_matches in libreadline.
PyObject_InitVar(), PyObject_Del(), PyObject_NEW(),
PyObject_NEW_VAR(), and PyObject_DEL().
Add notes to PyMem_Malloc() and PyMem_New() about the memory buffers
not being initialized.
This fixes SF bug #439012.
Added explicit return value information for PyList_SetItem(),
PyDict_SetItem(), and PyDict_SetItemString(). Corrected return type
for PyList_SET_ITEM().
Fixed index entries in the descriptions of PyLong_AsLong() and
PyLong_AsUnignedLong().
This fixes the API manual portion of SF bug #440037.
Note that the headers properly declare everything as 'extern "C"' for
C++ users.
Document _Py_NoneStruct.
Added links to the Extending & Embedding manual for PyArg_ParseTuple()
and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords().
Added note that PyArg_Parse() should not be used in new code.
Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.
fixed. Regrettably, this must be run manually -- somehow the I/O
redirection of the regression test breaks the test. When run under
the regression test, this raises ImportError with a warning to that
effect.
Bugfix candidate!
Fix various serious problems:
- The ThreadingTCPServer class and its derived classes were completely
broken because the main thread would close the request before the
handler thread had time to look at it. This was introduced by
Ping's close_request() patch. The fix moves the close_request()
calls to after the handler has run to completion in the BaseServer
class and the ForkingMixIn class; when using the ThreadingMixIn,
closing the request is the handler's responsibility.
- The ForkingUDPServer class has always been been broken because the
socket was closed in the child before calling the handler. I fixed
this by simply not calling server_close() in the child at all.
- I cannot get the UnixDatagramServer class to work at all. The
recvfrom() call doesn't return a meaningful client address. I added
a comment to this effect. Maybe it works on other Unix versions.
- The __all__ variable was missing ThreadingMixIn and ForkingMixIn.
- Bumped __version__ to "0.4".
- Added a note about the test suite (to be checked in shortly).
