because GNU/k*BSD uses gnu pth to provide pthreads, but will also happen on any
system that does the same.
python fails to build because it doesn't detect gnu pth in pthread
emulation. See C comments in patch for details.

[ 960406 ] unblock signals in threads
although the changes do not correspond exactly to any patch attached to
that report.
Non-main threads no longer have all signals masked.
A different interface to readline is used.
The handling of signals inside calls to PyOS_Readline is now rather
different.
These changes are all a bit scary! Review and cross-platform testing
much appreciated.
of hard linking against the framework).
If $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set, and >= 10.3, during configure we
setup extensions to link with dynamic lookup. We also record the
value in the Makefile.
Distutils checks whether a value for MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET was
recorded in the Makefile, and if it was insists that the current
value matches.
This is only a partial fix because it only applies to 2.4, and the
"two python problem" exists with Python 2.3 shipped with MacOSX 10.3,
which we have no influence over.
two framework builds (in /Library and /System/Library) to coexist
with distutils linking against the right one.
Should be backported to 2.3, but getting Apple-supplied Python to pick
up these fixes is going to be non-trivial.
Cygwin's pthread_sigmask() implementation appears to be buggy. This
patch works around this problem by using sigprocmask() instead.
This patch is implemented in a general way so it could be used by other
platforms too. If this approach is deemed too risky, then I can work up
a patch that just hacks Python/thread_pthread.h for Cygwin.
Note that I tested this patch against 2.3c1 under Red Hat Linux 8.0 too.

And finally, I need someone to regenerate pyconfig.h.in and configure
with the same versions of the autotools that are normally used by
Python.
Neal kindly regenerated pyconfig.h.in and configure for me.
- In the top level Makefile, the argument to -install_name should be
prepended with /System/Library/Frameworks/, so it is an absolute path.
- In the top level Makefile, because of 2), RUNSHARED needs to be set to
DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=<path to local framework> and $(RUNSHARED) prepended
to the $(MAKE) lines in the frameworkinstallmaclib and
frameworkinstallapps targets.
scope of the _XOPEN_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE symbols, including:
- getloadavg()
- typedefs for u_int, u_long, u_char, u_short, ushort & uint
These are now all defined under the control of a __BSD_VISIBLE symbol.
The lack of the typedefs causes several extension modules to build
incorrectly or not at all, and is the cause of failures reported for
test_socket and test_tempfile on this platform
(see python-dev: 29/6/03, pieterb@gewis.nl, "Running tests on freebsd5")
This change does not appear to be needed in the 2.2 branch.
For reasons unknown this suddenly started to matter (since Martin's 1.396
checkin? But why?), at least on MacOSX. Added a real test similar to the
getpgrp argument test.
for specific platforms. Use this to add plat-mac and
plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages on MacOSX. Also tested for not having adverse
effects on Linux, and I think this code isn't used on Windows anyway.
Fixes#661521.
Need to make sure that preprocessor directives start in first column.
This means we can't indent code which has preprocessor directives,
nor have a space between [ #include for example.
compiler flags which are necessary to get a clean compile. The former is
for user-specified optimizer, debug, trace fiddling. See patch 640843.
Add /sw/lib and /sw/include to setup.py search paths on Darwin to take
advantage of fink goodies.
Add scriptsinstall target to Makefile to install certain scripts from
Tools/scripts directory.
knows about plat-mac subdirectories, and configure adds a variable
EXTRAPLATDIR. These together take care of copying Lib/plat-mac to
the destination on darwin.
Adding plat-mac is still done with a .pth file which is only created when
you do a framework build. I'm not 100% happy with this, but fixing it
really needs a functional pythonw in non-framework builds, and I don't
think I can do that before 2.3a1 (but I'll try:-).
Check for readline 2.2 features. This should make it possible to
compile readline.c again with GNU readline versions 2.0 or 2.1; this
ability was removed in readline.c rev. 2.49. Apparently the older
versions are still in widespread deployment on older Solaris
installations. With an older readline, completion behavior is subtly
different (a space is always added).
us to completely decouple the framework from the executable, so we
can use a two-level namespace.
- Do framework builds with a twolevel namespace.
- Reorganized the code that creates the minimal framework in the build
directory, to make it more robust against incomplete frameworks (from
earlier aborted builds, or builds of previous Python versions).
for the time module, because somehow configure won't define the
symbols HAVE_STRUCT_TM_TM_ZONE, HAVE_TM_ZONE, and HAVE_TZNAME in this
case.
I've got no time to research this further, so I leave it in Jeremy and
Martin's capable hands to find a different solution for True64 (or to
devise a way to get the time tests to succeed while defining
_XOPEN_SOURCE).
This gets compilation of posixmodule.c to succeed on Tru64 and does no
harm on Linux. We may need to undefine it on some platforms, but
let's wait and see.

The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure. Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers. (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)
I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static. This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.
XXX I haven't updated the documentation.
OSX framework build process. Things fixed/modified:
- the filesystem case-sensitivity test now works for builds outside
the source directory
- various other fixes for building outside the source directory
- python.app now has a target in the main Makefile
- WASTE and AquaTk are found more automatically
library. Since multiple versions can be installed simultaneously, it's
crucial that you only select libraries and header files which are compatible
with each other. Version checking is done from highest version to lowest.
Building using version 1 of Berkeley DB is disabled by default because of
the hash file bugs people keep rediscovering. It can be enabled by
uncommenting a few lines in setup.py. Closes patch 553108.
This patch complies with the following request found
near the top of configure.in:
# This is for stuff that absolutely must end up in pyconfig.h.
# Please use pyport.h instead, if possible.
I tested this patch under Cygwin, Win32, and Red
Hat Linux. Python built and ran successfully on
each of these platforms.
[ 559250 ] more POSIX signal stuff
Adds support (and docs and tests and autoconfery) for posix signal
