-- initialize length to DEFAULTALLOC and not 0
-- resize string before returning (to remove '\000' padding)
Also converted some compression routines to use PyString instead of
buffer.
ExitThread(). As discussed in c.l.p, this takes care of
initialization and finalization of thread-local storage allocated by
the C runtime system. Not sure whether non-MS compilers grok this
though (but who cares :-).
Change default alloc size for uncompressing to 16K.
Remove comment about core dumps when an invalid window sizes is used.
This bug has been fixed in zlib 1.0.4.
Two new optional arguments to decompress, wbits and bufsize. wbits
specifies the window size and bufsize specifies the initial output
string size.
In decompression code -- decompress and decompressobj methods -- use a
Python string (and _PyString_Resize) to collect the uncompressed
stream. Replaces a separate buffer that was copied into a string.
Fix bug in decompress that caused it to always realloc the buffer when
it was finished decompressing.
Modernized handling of optional arguments to compressobj.
Updated doc strings.
is now obsolete), and changed the default path calculations.
$PYTHONPATH is now added as a prefix (like it's always been on Unix);
$PYTHONHOME takes precedence over the program pathname; and only one
landmark is needed.
of Python file objects. Added open_osfhandle() (Mark had done some
work for that), get_osfhandle(), setmode(), and the console I/O
functions kbhit(), getch(), getche(), ungetch(), and putch().
lives to the end of the path.
(Still to do: add $PYTHONPATH to the front instead of using it as is;
add the Win32 registry paths as in getpath_nt.c (which can then
retire).)
Removed handling of \e, \cX escapes, following a string-SIG discussion.
Fixed minor typos in re.py
re.error is now set equal to reop.error.
Move definition of constants like NORMAL and CHARCLASS into reop, which
exports them; re.py was changed to import them from reop.
Added C equivalents of _expand and expand_escape to reop, and changed
re.py to use them.
