is not supported on sets. (Unfortunately, sorting a list of sets may
still return random results because it uses < exclusively, but for
sets that inly implements a partial ordering. Oh well.)
into time. This is little more than *exporting* the datetimetz object
under the name "datetime", and similarly for timetz. A good implementation
of this change requires more work, but this is fully functional if you
don't stare too hard at the internals (e.g., right now a type named
"datetime" shows up as a base class of the type named "datetime"). The
docs also need extensive revision, not part of this checkin.
cases, plus even tougher tests of that. This implementation follows
the correctness proof very closely, and should also be quicker (yes,
I wrote the proof before the code, and the code proves the proof <wink>).
(or None) now. In 2.3a1 they could also return an int or long, but that
was an unhelpfully redundant leftover from an earlier version wherein
they couldn't return a timedelta. TOOWTDI.
Added the logging package. In the meantime, Neal Norwitz added a
test_logging.py to the std test suite, which would have caught this
oversight in the Windows installer.
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.
a month or two with great success. Barry may want to tweak it some, but I
think it's a worthwhile enough addition to get some more people trying it
out.

This adds @CFLAGS@ and @CPPFLAGS@ to the end of the respective
variable definitions. It also adds $(LDFLAGS) to the $(CC) invocation
to build $(PGEN).
This can cause core dumps when Python runs. Python relies on the 754-
(and C99-) mandated default "non-stop" mode for FP exceptions. This
patch from Ben Laurie disables at least one FP exception on FreeBSD at
Python startup time.

The code is shorter, more readable, faster, and dramatically increases the
range of acceptable dates.
Also, used the floor division operator in leapdays().
[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers
with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.
[#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling
* Objects/fileobject.c
(file_read): Clear errors before leaving the loop in all situations,
and also check if some data was read before exiting the loop with an
EWOULDBLOCK exception.
* Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex
* Objects/fileobject.c
Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than
what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode.
* Misc/NEWS
Document the fix.
[#448679] Left to right
* Python/compile.c
(com_dictmaker): Reordered evaluation of dictionaries to follow strict
LTR evaluation.
* Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py
(CodeGenerator.visitDict): Reordered evaluation of dictionaries to
follow strict LTR evaluation.
* Doc/ref/ref5.tex
Documented the general LTR evaluation order idea.
* Misc/NEWS
Documented change in evaluation order of dictionaries.
[#636769] Fix for major rexec bugs
* Lib/rexec.py
(FileBase): Added 'xreadlines' and '__iter__' to allowed file methods.
(FileWrapper.__init__): Removed unnecessary self.f variable, which gave
direct access to the file object.
(RExec): Added 'xreadlines' and '_weakref' to allowed modules.
(RExec.r_open): Convert string subclasses to a real string classes
before doing comparisons with mode parameter.
* Lib/ihooks.py
(BasicModuleImporter.import_module/reload/unload): Convert the module
name to a real string before working with it.
(ModuleImporter.import_module/import_it/reload): Convert the module
name to a real strings before working with it.
* Misc/NEWS
Document the change.
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.
This closes SF patch #649608.
this can result in significantly smaller files. All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility. Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.
[#495695] webbrowser.py: selection of browser
* Lib/webbrowser.py
Only include graphic browsers in _tryorder if DISPLAY is set. Also,
included skipstone support, as suggested by Fred in the mentioned bug.
* Misc/NEWS
Mention fix and skipstone inclusion.
whether this is a correct thing to do:
+ There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt).
+ test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now.
+ test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too.
Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated
build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled
the Windows installer accordingly.
+ News blurb, but as much XXX as news.
+ Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL;
still don't know how to fold that into _bsddb.pyd).
+ Fleshed out build instructions.
+ Debug Python still blows up.
