Marc-André Lemburg 449c325303 Fixed some code that used 'short' to use 'long' instead. 2000-07-06 20:13:23 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 85cc4d8940 Fixed a couple of places where 'int' was used where 'long'
should have been used.

Fred Drake 49b0c3bafe Fix bug #392, reported by Jonathan Giddy <jon@dstc.edu.au>:
In posixmodule.c:posix_fork, the function PyOS_AfterFork is called for
both the parent and the child, despite the docs stating that it should
be called in the new (child) process.

This causes problems in the parent since the forking thread becomes the
main thread according to the signal module.

Calling PyOS_AfterFork() only in the child fixes this.  Changed for both
fork() and forkpty().

Fred Drake 589c35bcc7 Python 2.0 is not supposed to use string exceptions in the standard library
& extensions, so create exceptions in extension modules using the
PyErr_NewException() API.

Skip Montanaro 28067821e2 added read_history_file and write_history_file
XXX should perhaps support history truncation as well

Fred Drake aa7524cf1f Clean up markup to be more like recommended practice; only small changes
needed.
2000-07-06 18:37:08 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 1a10400692 Removed unused variables.
Added two functions that were left out of the method definition table.

Fred Drake 29fa30ea6b Correct a markup nit that caused a space to be dropped from the HTML
version (actually a LaTeX2HTML bug), and clarified a sentence in the
mktime() description based entirely on comments from Grant Griffin
<grant.griffin@honeywell.com>.
2000-07-06 18:09:02 +00:00
Skip Montanaro fd022672a0 don't prepend "$(srcdir)/" to paths beginning with "$" since they are likely
to be absolute.
2000-07-06 17:58:06 +00:00
Fred Drake e1a85f5e4a Minor changes. Explain that for class exceptions, use excdesc but do not
document the constructor parameters.  Need a better way, but this will do
for now.

Jack Jansen e3889da076 Make a distinction between shorts and unsigned shorts. 2000-07-06 15:17:52 +00:00
Jack Jansen 56cdce3070 Conditionally (currently on ifdef macintosh) break the large switch up
into 1000-case smaller ones.
2000-07-06 13:57:38 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 8968a8292f modified template to demonstrate subsection for examples. 2000-07-06 13:43:37 +00:00
Jack Jansen d50338fbd9 Added support for H (unsigned short) specifier in PyArg_ParseTuple and
Py_BuildValue.
2000-07-06 12:22:00 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 63f3d17418 Added new codec APIs and a new interface method .encode() which
works just like the Unicode one. The C APIs match the ones in the Unicode
implementation, but were extended to be able to reuse the existing
Unicode codecs for string purposes too.

Conversions from string to Unicode and back are done using the
default encoding.
2000-07-06 11:29:01 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 3d1a1d7f0c Added prototypes for the new codec APIs for strings. These APIs
match the ones in the Unicode implementation, but were extended
to be able to reuse the existing Unicode codecs for string
purposes too.

Conversion from string to Unicode and back are done using the
default encoding.

Guido van Rossum 0a3f7978c4 Change whitespace in two places to silence tabnanny.
Also fix spelling tupel -> tuple.
2000-07-06 05:34:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 5802e48033 Added some further description to the usage of the seealso environment.
Documented the \seerfc and \seeurl macros used in that environment as well.
2000-07-06 05:24:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 3c62d9e656 Several small changes, mostly to the markup, to improve consistency and
internal hyperlinking.  Move some things around, also for consistency
with other modules ("See also" stuff tends to live at the \section level,
before sub-sections, etc.).

ConnectRegistry() function; there is no trailing period!
2000-07-06 04:38:37 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 63099f911f added seealso pointing reader at readline example which uses atexit. 2000-07-06 03:26:39 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 510ca1d338 simple-minded readline section doc based upon module's doc strings. 2000-07-06 03:25:26 +00:00
Skip Montanaro f9059ebede fixed indentation in several places 2000-07-06 03:01:40 +00:00

Fred Drake 191a28218f Typo: "This table table" -> "This table is"
Noted by Nicholas Spies <ns11@voicenet.com>.
2000-07-06 00:50:42 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 0915165096 added warning about incompatibility with other codes' use of sys.exitfunc. 2000-07-05 23:11:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 54925f98d3 Add more "volatile" decls to stop gcc -Wall warnings.
Somebody w/ gcc please check that the wngs are gone!
There are cheaper (at runtime) ways to prevent the wngs, but
they're obscure and delicate.  I'm going for the easy Big
Hammer here under the theory that PCRE will be replaced by
SRE anyway.
2000-07-05 22:56:52 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 2855290b84 maintenance release:
- reorganized some code to get rid of -Wall and -W4
  warnings

- fixed default argument handling for sub/subn/split
  methods (reported by Peter Schneider-Kamp).

Marc-André Lemburg 5f0e29eb45 Modified the encode interfaces of all builtin codecs to accept
any object which can be converted to Unicode by means of
PyUnicode_FromObject().

Greg Stein adf63d6c24 check for Pth *after* the standard system threading libraries. Pth should
not override those.

Marc-André Lemburg a7acf425f6 Added new .isalpha() and .isalnum() methods which provide interfaces
to the new alphabetic lookup APIs in unicodectype.c.

Marc-André Lemburg 4027f8f4b3 Added new .isalpha() and .isalnum() methods to match the same
ones on the Unicode objects. Note that the string versions use
the (locale aware) C lib APIs isalpha() and isalnum().
2000-07-05 09:47:46 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 9d4674168f Added tests for the new .isalpha() and .isalnum() methods. 2000-07-05 09:46:40 +00:00

from unicodectype.c
2000-07-05 09:45:59 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 82249c8389 Added #defines to enable SUSv2 compatibility where available and
to switch on support for BSD and SysV on platforms which use glibc
such as Linux.

These #defines are documented in e.g. the file /usr/include/features.h
on Linux platforms and the SUSv2 docs.
2000-07-05 08:53:18 +00:00
Greg Ward fd9f168bcf Fixed so the ZIP file (which is bundled into an executable) goes in the
temporary directory ('bdist_base').
Added --dist-dir option to control where the executable is put.
2000-07-05 03:08:55 +00:00
Greg Ward c4eb84accb Added --dist-dir option to control where output archive(s) go. 2000-07-05 03:07:37 +00:00

they place their output files.
2000-07-05 03:07:18 +00:00
Greg Ward c0614105aa Added the --dist-dir option to control where the archive(s) are put;
defaults to 'dist' (ie. no longer in the distribution root).

Fred Drake b5316188ee Created a new chapter on structured markup processing, including the
existing SGML, HTML, & XML support, and providing a home for the new
XML support as it becomes documented.
2000-07-05 02:24:39 +00:00
Fred Drake c05cbb0527 Wrapped some long lines.
Cleaned up the table of error constants defined in pyexpat.errors; an
extra pair of braces had pretty much destroyed the table!  (Not sure why.)
Moved the pyexpat.errors module documentation into a \section with the
proper headers for a module.
2000-07-05 02:03:34 +00:00
Fred Drake 7bd9f41c65 pyexpat.errors is a *strange* module!
It gets initialized when pyexpat is imported, and is only accessible as an
attribute of pyexpat; it cannot be imported itself.  This allows it to at
least be importable after pyexpat itself has been imported by adding it
to sys.modules, so it is not quite as strange.

This arrangement needs to be better thought out.

Jack Jansen f93cb1875c Evt moved to the core toolbox modules. 2000-07-04 21:12:30 +00:00
