(1) Use PyErr_NewException("module.class", NULL, NULL) to create the
exception object.
(2) Remove all calls to Py_FatalError(); instead, return or
ignore the errors -- the import code now checks PyErr_Occurred()
after calling a module's init function, so it's no longer a
fatal error for the initialization to fail.
Also did some small cleanups, e.g. removed unnecessary test for
"already initialized" from initfpectl(), and unified
initposix()/initnt().
I haven't checked this very thoroughly, so while the changes are
pretty trivial -- beware of untested code!
that the module-specific components are in the section for that
module.
cursesmodule.c: patched it so it actually works.
tkintermodule.c: call Py_AtExit instead of atexit().
signalmodule.c: converted to new naming style; added
BGN/END SAVE around pause() call.
socketmodule.c: added setblocking() after Tommy Burnette.
shorter names (dropped the "module" from the name): sunaudiodev,
imgformat, audioop, imageop, imgfile
* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): make rindex('abc', '') do
the right thing (i.e. return 3 instead of 0)
* Modules/socketmodule.c: disabled allowbroadcast() socket method
* posixmodule.c: don't prototype getcwd() -- it's not portable...
* mappingobject.c: double-check validity of last_name_char in
dict{lookup,insert,remove}.
* arraymodule.c: need memmove only for non-STDC Suns.
* Makefile: comment out HTML_LIBS and XT_USE by default
* pythonmain.c: don't prototype getopt() -- it's not standardized
* socketmodule.c: cast flags arg to {get,set}sockopt() and addrbuf arg to
recvfrom() to (ANY*).
* pythonrun.c (initsigs): fix prototype, make it static
* intobject.c (LONG_BIT): only #define it if not already defined
* classobject.[ch]: remove all references to unused instance_convert()
* mappingobject.c (getmappingsize): Don't return NULL in int function.
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.)
* 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.
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().
