+ 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.
bdist_wininst.py we will see.)
Removed the base64 encoded binary contents, wininst.exe must be in the
same directory as this file now.
wininst.exe must be recompiled and commited each time the sources in
PC/bdist_wininst are changed.
Changed the MSVC project file to create the exe in the
lib/distutils/command directory, bdist_wininst.py must still be
changed to use it.
Also changed to use the same zlib as the zlib module - this has the nice
sideeffect that now the buggy 1.1.3 version is no longer used.
Most of the source files now conform to PEP 7, except for the maximum
line length. Windows api programming in 78 character lines =:(.
README.txt is a new file, but still empty except for placeholders.
The bsddb subproject is gone.
The _bsddb subproject is new.
There are problems here, but I'm out of time to work on this now. If
anyone can address an XXX comment or two in readme.txt, please do!
system headers have two declarations for wchar_t, with different guard macros.
Not sure whether this is a bugfix candidate, that depends on what changed in the
curses module.
module.
Jack: I've compared the .app output of the orginal with the new and I
can't find any significant differences. However, bundlebuilder.py
contains its' own command line interface and I think we should use
that instead. I'll have a look to see whether I can patch
Mac/OSX/Makefile.jaguar to this effect.
Already supported dict() and dict(mapping).
Now supports dict(itemsequence) and
Just van Rossum's new syntax for dict(keywordargs).
Also, added related unittests.
The docs already promise dict-like behavior
so no update is needed there.
long but the double is too big to fit in a long. Prevent that. This
closes some recent bug or patch on SF, but SF is down now so I can't
say which.
Bugfix candidate.
interrupted. A try/finally will do nicely. Maybe other classes need
this too, but since they manipulate more state it's less clear that
that is always the right thing, and I'm in a hurry.
Backport candidate.
Previously archive_util.py attempted to spawn an
external 'zip' program for the zip action, if this fails, an
attempt to import zipfile.py is made...
This bites folks who have 'old' or non-conforming zip
programs on windows platforms. This change tries the 'zipfile'
module first, falling back to spawning a zip process if
the module isn't available.
