each dir in sys.path, try each possible extension. (Note: C extensions
are loaded before Python modules in the same directory, to allow having
a C version used when dynamic loading is supported and a Python version
as a back-up.)
* import.c (reload_module): test for error from getmodulename()
* moduleobject.c: implement module name as dict entry '__name__' instead
of special-casing it in module_getattr(); this way a module (or
function!) can access its own module name, and programs that know what
they are doing can rename modules.
* stdwinmodule.c (initstdwin): strip ".py" suffix of argv[0].
* {tuple,list,mapping,array}object.c: call printobject with 0 for flags
* compile.c (parsestr): use quote instead of '\'' at one crucial point
* arraymodule.c (array_getattr): Added __members__ attribute
* object.[ch], bltinmodule.c, fileobject.c: changed str() to call
strobject() which calls an object's __str__ method if it has one.
strobject() is also called by writeobject() when PRINT_RAW is passed.
* ceval.c: rationalize code for PRINT_ITEM (no change in function!)
* funcobject.c, codeobject.c: added compare and hash functionality.
Functions with identical code objects and the same global dictionary are
equal. Code objects are equal when their code, constants list and names
list are identical (i.e. the filename and code name don't count).
(hash doesn't work yet since the constants are in a list and lists can't
be hashed -- suppose this should really be done with a tuple now we have
resizetuple!)
careful about these.
* arraymodule.c: added 8 byte swap; added 'i' format character; added
reverse() method; rename read/write to fromfile/tofile.
* config.c: Set version to 0.9.9++.
* rotormodule.c (r_rand): declare k1..k5 as unsigned longs so the shifts
will have a well-defined effect independent of word size.
* bltinmodule.c: renamed bagof() to filter().
setlistslice() can be used to cut the unused part out of a freshly made
slice (as done by bagof()). [needed by the next mod!]
* structural changes to bagof(), map() etc.
* PROTO.h, mymalloc.h: added #ifdefs for TURBOC and GNUC.
* allobjects.h: added #include "rangeobject.h"
* Grammar: added lambda_input; relaxed syntax for exec.
* bltinmodule.c: added bagof, map, reduce, lambda, xrange.
* tupleobject.[ch]: added resizetuple().
* rangeobject.[ch]: new object type to speed up range operations (not
convinced this is needed!!!)
function vs. exec statement
* bltinmodule.c: renamed the module to __builtin__.
* posixmodule.c (posix_execv): renamed exec --> execv since it is now a
reserved word.
* Grammar: add exec statement; allow testlist in expr statement.
* ceval.c, compile.c, opcode.h: support exec statement;
avoid optimizing locals when it is used
* fileobject.{c,h}: add getfilename() internal function.
no longer done by config.c).
* stdwinmodule.c (initstdwin), config.c (initall): get command line
arguments from sys.argv instead of special-casing stdwin in config.c
* import.c (get_module): fix core dump when foomodule.o does not define
initfoo().
* ChangeLog: documented changes by Sjoerd.
without .py file); Bill's dynamic loading for SunOS using shared
libraries.
pwdmodule.c (mkgrent): remove DECREF of uninitialized variable.
classobject.c (instance_getattr): Fix case when class lookup returns
unbound method instead of function.
image objects, and lots of new methods.
* Added counting of allocations and deallocations of builtin types if
COUNT_ALLOCS is defined. Had to move calls to NEWREF down in some
files.
* Bug fix in sorting lists.
* many files: made some functions static; removed "extern int errno;".
* frozenmain.c: fixed bugs introduced on 24 June...
* flmodule.c: remove 1.5 bw compat hacks, add new functions in 2.2a
(and some old functions that were omitted).
* timemodule.c: added MSDOS floatsleep version .
* pgenmain.c: changed exit() to goaway() and added defn of goaway().
* intrcheck.c: add hack (to UNIX only) so interrupting 3 times
will exit from a hanging program. The second interrupt prints
a message explaining this to the user.
(the latter also in frozenmain.c)
* ceval.c: global 'killprint' flag raises exception when printing an
expression statement's value (useful for finding stray output)
* timemodule.c: add asctime() and ctime(). Change julian date to
1-based origin (as intended and documented).
* Removed unused DO_TIMES stuff from timemodule.c. Added 'epoch' and
'day0' globals (year where time.time() == 0 and day of the week the
epoch started).
Added $(SYSDEF) to its build rule in Makefile.
* cgensupport.[ch], modsupport.[ch]: removed some old stuff. Also
changed files that still used it... And made several things static
that weren't but should have been... And other minor cleanups...
* listobject.[ch]: add external interfaces {set,get}listslice
* socketmodule.c: fix bugs in new send() argument parsing.
* sunaudiodevmodule.c: added flush() and close().
function found as instance data.
* socketmodule.c: added 'flags' argument sendto/recvfrom, rewrite
argument parsing in send/recv.
* More changes related to access (terminology change: owner instead of
class; allow any object as owner; local/global variables are owned
by their dictionary, only class/instance data is owned by the class;
"from...import *" now only imports objects with public access; etc.)
* Added "access *: ...", made access work for class methods.
* Introduced subclass check: make sure that when calling
ClassName.methodname(instance, ...), the instance is an instance of
ClassName or of a subclass thereof (this might break some old code!)
yet). The class is now passed to eval_code and stored in the current
frame. It is also stored in instance method objects. An "unbound"
instance method is now returned when a function is retrieved through
"classname.funcname", which when called passes the class to eval_code.
(1) dictionaries/mappings now have attributes values() and items() as
well as keys(); at the C level, use the new function mappinggetnext()
to iterate over a dictionary.
(2) "class C(): ..." is now illegal; you must write "class C: ...".
(3) Class objects now know their own name (finally!); and minor
improvements to the way how classes, functions and methods are
represented as strings.
(4) Added an "access" statement and semantics. (This is still
experimental -- as long as you don't use the keyword 'access' nothing
should be changed.)
before it.
* ceval.c, object.c: moved testbool() to object.c (now extern visible)
* stringobject.c: fix bugs in and rationalize string resize in formatstring()
* tokenizer.[ch]: fix non-working code for lines longer than BUFSIZ
f_fastlocals in a traceback object (this is a core dump hazard
if there are <nil> entries), but instead eval_code() merges the fast
locals back into the locals dictionary if it looks like the local
variables will be retained. Also, the merge routines save
exceptions since this is sometimes needed (alas!).
* Added id() to bltinmodule.c, which returns an object's address
(identity). Useful to walk arbitrary data structures containing
cycles.
* Added compile() to bltinmodule.c and compile_string() to
pythonrun.[ch]: support to exec/eval arbitrary code objects. The
code that defaults globals and locals is moved from run_node in
pythonrun.c (which is now identical to eval_node) to eval_code in
ceval.c. [XXX For elegance a clean-up session is necessary.]
lookup (opcode.h, ceval.[ch], compile.c, frameobject.[ch],
pythonrun.c, import.c). The .pyc MAGIC number is changed again.
Added get_menu_text to flmodule.
* Stubs for faster implementation of local variables (not yet finished)
* Added function name to code object. Print it for code and function
objects. THIS MAKES THE .PYC FILE FORMAT INCOMPATIBLE (the version
number has changed accordingly)
* Print address of self for built-in methods
* New internal functions getattro and setattro (getattr/setattr with
string object arg)
* Replaced "dictobject" with more powerful "mappingobject"
* New per-type functio tp_hash to implement arbitrary object hashing,
and hashobject() to interface to it
* Added built-in functions hash(v) and hasattr(v, 'name')
* classobject: made some functions static that accidentally weren't;
added __hash__ special instance method to implement hash()
* Added proper comparison for built-in methods and functions
* Fixcprt.py: added [-y file] option, do only files younger than file.
* modsupport.[ch]: added vmkvalue().
* intobject.c: use mkvalue().
* stringobject.c: added "formatstring"; renamed string* to string_*;
ceval.c: call formatstring for string % value.
* longobject.c: close memory leak in divmod.
* parsetok.c: set result node to NULL when returning an error.
listfontnames, bitmap ops.
* listobject.c: use mkvalue() when possible; avoid weird error when
calling append() without args.
* modsupport.c: new feature in getargs(): if the format string
contains a semicolor the string after that is used as the error
message instead of "bad argument list (format %s)" when there's an
error.
* various modules: added 1993 to copyright.
* thread.c: added copyright notice.
* ceval.c: minor change to error message for "+"
* stdwinmodule.c: check for error from wfetchcolor
* config.c: MS-DOS fixes (define PYTHONPATH, use DELIM, use osdefs.h)
* Add declaration of inittab to import.h
* sysmodule.c: added sys.builtin_module_names
* xxmodule.c, xxobject.c: fix minor errors
stdwinmodule.c: wsetfont can now return an error
Makefile: add CL_USE and CL_LIB*S; config.c: move CL part around
New things in imgfile; also in Makefile.
longobject.c: fix comparison of negative long ints... [REAL BUG!]
marshal.c: add dumps() and loads() to read/write strings
timemodule.c: make sure there's always a floatsleep()
posixmodule.c: rationalize struct returned by times()
Makefile: add test target, disable imgfile by default
thread.c: Improved coexistance with dl module (sjoerd)
stdwinmodule.c: Change include stdwin.h if macintosh
rotormodule.c: added missing last argument to RTR_?_region calls
confic.c: merged with configmac.c, added 1993 to copyright message
fileobject.c: int compared to NULL in writestring(); change fopenRF ifdef
timemodule.c: simplify times() using mkvalue; include myselect.h
earlier (for sequent).
posixmodule: for sequent, include unistd.h instead of explicit
extern definitions and don't define rename()
Makefile: change misleading/wrong MD5 comments
* ceval.c: use #ifdef COMPAT_HACKS instead of #if 0
* Makefile: fix to make clmodule.c compile;
make config.o dependent on libpython.a (so date is always correct)
* timemodule.c: now sleep() also takes a float argument.
* posixmodule.c: added nice().
* Makefile: svmodule.c.proto and svgen.py are gone, svmodule.c came in
their stead. Also, pass -DUSE_DL flag to thread.c and give
the user a possibility to add the -DDEBUG to just thread.c.
* ceval.c: init_save_thread() can be called more than once now.
* svgen.py, svmodule.c.proto, svmodule.c: Removed prototype file and
replaced it by the generated file.
* thread.c: Added some more checks; added call to DL library when it
is also used to tell it where the shared arena is so that DL
can use some other area.
* threadmodule.c: Call init_save_thread from another place. Also,
added new function getlocklock() which does to lock objects
what getfilefile does to file objects.
* posixmodule.c: move extern function declarations to top
* listobject.c: cmp() arguments must be void* if __STDC__
* Makefile, allobjects.h, panelmodule.c, modsupport.c: get rid of
strdup() -- it is a portability risk
* Makefile: enclosed ranlib command in parentheses for Sequent Make
which aborts if the command is not found even if '-' is present
* timemodule.c: time() returns a floating point number, in microsecond
precision if BSD_TIME is defined.
return NULL for malloc(0) or realloc(p, 0). (This should be done
differently than wasting one byte, but alas...)
* Moved "add'l libraries" option in Makefile to an earlier place.
* Remove argument compatibility hacks (b) and (c).
* Add grey2mono, dither2mono and mono2grey to imageop.
* Dup the fd in socket.fromfd().
* Added new modules mpz, md5 (by JH, requiring GNU MP 1.2). Affects
Makefile and config.c.
* socketmodule.c: added socket.fromfd(fd, family, type, [proto]),
converted socket() to use of getargs().
* flmodule.c: added {do,check}_only_forms to fl's list of functions;
and don't print a message when an unknown object is returned.
* pythonrun.c: catch SIGHUP and SIGTERM to do essential cleanup.
* Made jpegmodule.c smaller by using getargs() and mkvalue() consistently.
* Increased parser stack size to 500 in parser.h.
* Implemented custom allocation of stack frames to frameobject.c and
added dynamic stack overflow checks (value stack only) to ceval.c.
(There seems to be a bug left: sometimes stack traces don't make sense.)
sys.stderr or sys.stdin, and to work with any object as long as it has
a write() (respectively readline()) methods. Some functions that took
a FILE* argument now take an object* argument.
coercion is now completely generic.
* ceval.c: for instances, don't coerce for + and *; * reverses
arguments if left one is non-instance numeric and right one sequence.
* socketmodule.c: get rid of makepair(); fix makesocketaddr to fix
broken recvfrom()
* socketmodule: get rid of getStrarg()
* ceval.h: move eval_code() to new file eval.h, so compile.h is no
longer needed.
* ceval.c: move thread comments to ceval.h; always make save/restore
thread functions available (for dynloaded modules)
* cdmodule.c, listobject.c: don't include compile.h
* flmodule.c: include ceval.h
* import.c: include eval.h instead of ceval.h
* cgen.py: add forground(); noport(); winopen(""); to initgl().
* bltinmodule.c, socketmodule.c, fileobject.c, posixmodule.c,
selectmodule.c:
adapt to threads (add BGN/END SAVE macros)
* stdwinmodule.c: adapt to threads and use a special stdwin lock.
* pythonmain.c: don't include getpythonpath().
* pythonrun.c: use BGN/END SAVE instead of direct calls; also more
BGN/END SAVE calls etc.
* thread.c: bigger stack size for sun; change exit() to _exit()
* threadmodule.c: use BGN/END SAVE macros where possible
* timemodule.c: adapt better to threads; use BGN/END SAVE; add
longsleep internal function if BSD_TIME; cosmetics
* split pythonmain.c in two: most stuff goes to pythonrun.c, in the library.
* new optional built-in threadmodule.c, build upon Sjoerd's thread.{c,h}.
* new module from Sjoerd: mmmodule.c (dynamically loaded).
* new module from Sjoerd: sv (svgen.py, svmodule.c.proto).
* new files thread.{c,h} (from Sjoerd).
* new xxmodule.c (example only).
* myselect.h: bzero -> memset
* select.c: bzero -> memset; removed global variable
arguments crashed in INCREF() calls which should be XINCREF() calls.
timemodule.c: fix for SEQUENT port (sys/select, struct timezone) by
Jaap Vermeulen
xxobject.c: include modsupport.h
Added support for class definitions.
Reorganized main interpreter loop to fetch op and arg once at the head.
Use two bytes for arguments (see ceval.c).
