_locale.getdefaultlocale. Guessing a leading underscore was intended,
but don't really understood this stuff (locale looks like Spanish for
the opposite of global to me <wink>).
customize_compiler() now looks at various environment variables and uses
their values to override the configured C compiler/preprocessor/linker
binary and flags.
Fixed the signed/unsigned confusions when dealing with files >= 2GB.
4GB is still a hard limitation of the gzip file format, though.
Testing this was a bitch on Win98SE due to frequent system freezes. It
didn't freeze while running gzip, it kept freezing while trying to *create*
a > 2GB test file! This wasn't Python's doing. I don't know of a
reasonable way to test this functionality in regrtest.py, so I'm not
checking in a test case (a test case would necessarily require creating
a 2GB+ file first, using gzip to zip it, using gzip to unzip it again,
and then compare before-and-after; so >4GB free space would be required,
and a loooong time; I did all this "by hand" once).
Bugfix candidate, I guess.
whether the Distutils being used supports a particularly capability.
(This idea was originally suggested by Juergen Hermann as a method
on the Distribution class. I think it makes more sense as a
function in core.py, and that's what this patch implements.)
On HPUX, Solaris, Tru64 (Dec UNIX), and IRIX (I think),
O_NONBLOCK is the POSIX version of non-blocking I/O
which is what we want.
On Linux and FreeBSD (at least), O_NONBLOCK and O_NDELAY are the same.
So this change should have no negative effect on those platforms.
Tested on Linux, Solaris, HPUX.
Thanks to Anders Qvist for diagnosing this problem.
preference of using "is" instead of "==" to compare types, use
built-in names where available, and point to the isinstance()
function.
Closes SF bug #632196.
bug #596434. (Alas, I don't think this completely covers that bug.)
Remove 'wrapper' argument from BaseTestCase.check_split() -- it's not
actually needed.
arguments, triggering a warning instead of raising an exception. (In
1.5.2/2.0, it will print to stderr.)
Bugfix candidate for all previous versions. This changes behaviour,
but the old behaviour wasn't very useful. If Distutils version X+1
adds a new keyword argument, using the new keyword means your setup.py
file won't work with Distutils version X any more.
