Skip Montanaro 95618b5bc9 added warnings about security risk of using tmpnam and tempnam 2001-08-18 18:52:10 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 4f1cd8bdcb Patch #411138: Rename config.h to pyconfig.h. Closes bug #231774. 2001-07-26 13:41:06 +00:00
Fred Drake 0368bc44e8 Remove warnings from the SGI compiler.
This is part of SF patch #434992.
2001-07-19 20:48:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 78b71c2ad3 On Windows, tempnam() is spelled with a leading underscore. 2001-07-17 20:37:36 +00:00
Thomas Wouters e38b2f1f00 Re-do the broken-nice() patch to break less platforms. Hopefully none :P
Also note that it isn't just Linux nice() that is broken: at least FreeBSD
and BSDI also have this problem. os.nice() should probably just be emulated
using getpriority()/setpriority(), if they are available, but I'll get to
that later.

Thomas Wouters c2c12dc31c Patch #439995 (slightly modified from the uploaded version):
Work around Linux's nonstandard nice() systemcall, which does not return the
new priority.

This closes SF bug #439990.

Tim Peters 58e0a8c130 SF patch #418147 Fixes to allow compiling w/ Borland, from Stephen Hansen. 2001-05-14 22:32:33 +00:00
Mark Hammond 26cffde4c2 Fix the Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding checkin - declare the variable in a fileobject.h, and initialize it in bltinmodule. 2001-05-14 12:17:34 +00:00
Mark Hammond ef8b654bbe Add support for Windows using "mbcs" as the default Unicode encoding when dealing with the file system. As discussed on python-dev and in patch 410465. 2001-05-13 08:04:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f68d8e52e7 Make some private symbols static. 2001-04-14 17:55:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2242f2fbd0 Unixware 7 support by Billy G. Allie (SF patch 413011) 2001-04-11 20:58:20 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 8216c18984 conditionally include unistd.h to pick up confstr declaration. attempt to
squelch warning from GCC 2.95.2 on Solaris - partially addresses bug
#232787.
2001-02-27 17:04:34 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 0f954a4256 Add a few more missing prototypes to the SunOS 4.1.4 section (no SF
bugreport, just an IRC one by Marion Delgado.) These prototypes are
necessary because the functions are tossed around, not just called.
2001-02-15 08:46:56 +00:00
Mark Hammond 0850137fe4 Partial fix to [ Bug #128685 ] popen on Win9x isnt smart enough about finding w9xpopen.exe.
"Partial" as the code uses sys.prefix in an attempt to locate 'w9xpopen.exe', but sys.prefix is not set if Python can't find it itself.  So this _still_ fails in Pythonwin, but I am committing the patch for 2 reasons:
* Embedded apps that set sys.prefix or use PYTHONHOME will work
* The exception raised on failure to find the executable is far more obvious

Mark Hammond 64aae6695f Fix Bug #125891 - os.popen2,3 and 4 leaked file objects on Windows. 2001-01-31 05:38:47 +00:00
Neil Schemenauer 19030a08fb Plug memory leak. 2001-01-16 04:27:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e2ad633051 Anonymous SF bug report #128053 point out that the #ifdef for
including "tmpfile" in the posix_methods[] array is wrong -- should be
HAVE_TMPFILE, not HAVE_TMPNAM.
2001-01-08 17:51:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f377d57328 Trivial typo fix, submitted by Charles Waldman (SF patch #102794). 2000-12-12 00:37:58 +00:00
Fred Drake e63544f872 posix_getlogin(): Be more cautious about interpreting a NULL from
getlogin() -- it is not clear that a NULL is always
                   an error.
2000-12-06 21:45:33 +00:00
Fred Drake a30680b240 posix_getlogin(): Handle the possibility that getlogin() can return
NULL without setting errno; observed on Linux
                   Mandrake 7.2 by an anonymous user.

This closes bug #124758.

Fred Drake 661ea26b3d Ka-Ping Yee <ping@lfw.org>:
Changes to error messages to increase consistency & clarity.

This (mostly) closes SourceForge patch #101839.
2000-10-24 19:57:45 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 12e1595e28 Clarify that isatty is only guaranteed to return true for slave ends of
terminals, not the master end (though it does, on most systems.)

Guido van Rossum b00adfbd83 Add missing prototypes for the benefit of SunOS 4.1.4 */ 2000-09-25 13:22:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7f58e2ec76 It's better to test for __hpux rather than __hppa, and hpux or hppa is
unnecessary.  Sez edg@SF
2000-09-22 17:26:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ecc23b07a9 Hopefully fix the problem with undeclared fdatasync() on HP-UX that
was reported twice so far.

Someone with access to HP-UX, please test this!  (Is '__hppa' or
'hppa' really the correct symbol to test for?)

Tim Peters f58a7aafea Implemented new os.startfile function, unique to Windows, exposing a
subset of Win32 ShellExecute's functionality.  Guido wants this because
IDLE's Help -> Docs function currently crashes his machine because of a
conflict between his version of Norton AntiVirus (6.10.20) and MS's
_popen.  Docs for startfile are being mailed to Fred (or just read the
docstring -- it tells the whole story).
Changed webbrowser.py to use os.startfile instead of os.popen on Windows.
Changed IDLE's EditorWindow.py to pass an absolute path for the docs
(hardcoding ShellExecute's "directory" arg to "." as used to be done let
IDLE work, but made the startfile command exceedingly obscure for other
uses -- the MS docs are terrible, of course, & still not sure I
understand it).
Note that Windows Python must link with shell32.lib now!  That's where
ShellExecute lives.

Tim Peters 0bb44a4a3a Closes SF bug 113894: on Windows, things like os.listdir("k:") and
glob.glob("k:*py") (i.e., a raw drive letter + colon at the start) were
using the root of the drive rather than the expected Windows behavior
of using the drive's "current directory".
2000-09-15 07:44:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8586991099 REMOVED all CWI, CNRI and BeOpen copyright markings.
This should match the situation in the 1.6b1 tree.
2000-09-01 23:29:29 +00:00
Tim Peters 9acdd3aed8 Repaired damaged comments, and extra spaces in fatal error msgs we'd better
not ever see!
2000-09-01 19:26:36 +00:00
Tim Peters 736aa32a39 Fix test_popen2 on Windows, recently broken by changes to the dict(!)
implementation.  You don't want to know.  I've asked Guido to give this
a critical review (we agreed on the approach, but the implementation
proved more ... interesting ... than anticipated).  This will almost
certainly be the highlight of Mark Hammond's day <wink>.
2000-09-01 06:51:24 +00:00
Fred Drake 56221a7cfa Chris Herborth <chrish@pobox.com>:
Minor updates for BeOS R5.

Use of OSError in test.test_fork1 changed to TestSkipped, with corresponding
change in BeOS/README (by Fred).

This closes SourceForge patch #100978.
2000-08-15 18:52:33 +00:00
Mark Hammond 33a6da9971 Fix for bug #110670 - Win32 os.listdir raises confusing errors:
The existing win32_error() function now returns the new(ish) WindowsError, ensuring we get correct error messages.
2000-08-15 00:46:38 +00:00
Mark Hammond b37a373496 Patch #101032, from David Bolen:
This is an enhancement to a prior patch (100941) ...
[T]his patch removes the risk of deadlock waiting for the child previously present in certain cases. It adds tracking of all file handles returned from an os.popen* call and only waits for the child process, returning the exit code, on the closure of the final file handle to that child.

Peter Schneider-Kamp 7e01890986 merge Include/my*.h into Include/pyport.h
marked my*.h as obsolete
2000-07-31 15:28:04 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 2031893842 - changed windows pclose to make sure we don't return before the
underlying process has terminated
  (bug fix from David Bolen)
2000-07-26 17:29:12 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 1e0c2f4bee Create a new section of pyport.h to hold all external function declarations
for systems that are missing those declarations from system include files.
Start by moving a pointy-haired ones from their previous locations to the
new section.

(The gethostname() one, for instance, breaks on several systems, because
some define it as (char *, size_t) and some as (char *, int).)

I purposely decided not to include the summary of used #defines like Tim did
in the first section of pyport.h. In my opinion, the number of #defines
likedly to be used by this section would make such an overview unwieldy. I
would suggest documenting the non-obvious ones, though.
2000-07-24 16:06:23 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 56055a4749 -- added code to the new Windows popen functions to make close
return the exit code.  Only works on Windows NT/2000, due to
   limitations in the Win9X shell.
   (based on patch #100941 by David Bolen)
2000-07-23 19:47:12 +00:00
Thomas Wouters bd4bc4e9e9 Even more ANSIfication: fix as many function pointers and declarations as
possible.
2000-07-22 23:57:55 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 1bc8c1eb83 Remove unused helper-function 'posix_strint'. 2000-07-22 16:39:39 +00:00
Thomas Wouters f3f33dcf03 Bunch of minor ANSIfications: 'void initfunc()' -> 'void initfunc(void)',
and a couple of functions that were missed in the previous batches. Not
terribly tested, but very carefully scrutinized, three times.

All these were found by the little findkrc.py that I posted to python-dev,
which means there might be more lurking. Cases such as this:

long
func(a, b)
	long a;
	long b; /* flagword */
{

and other cases where the last ; in the argument list isn't followed by a
newline and an opening curly bracket. Regexps to catch all are welcome, of
course ;)

Thomas Wouters 616607a987 ANSIfy the just-checked-in isatty() wrapper. 2000-07-19 14:45:40 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 1517d842b6 new method isatty from Thomas Wouters 2000-07-19 14:34:14 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 7e47402264 Spelling fixes supplied by Rob W. W. Hooft. All these are fixes in either
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").

There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
2000-07-16 12:04:32 +00:00
Thomas Wouters 70c21a1603 Move (actually copy) support for the sgi._getpty() function into
posix.openpty(). And conveniently also check if CVS write access really
works.

Jeremy Hylton 03657cfdb0 replace PyXXX_Length calls with PyXXX_Size calls 2000-07-12 13:05:33 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 10723347c6 - stupid typo. 2000-07-10 16:38:09 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 44328e60df -- get rid of a compiler warning on unix. (as reported
for #100836, but implemented in a different way)
2000-07-10 15:59:30 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 9ac81f69b2 - changed the nt.popen2 return values back to
(write, read, ...), based on feedback from GvR.

- added tuple-swapping code to popen2.py

- fixed some runaway indentation in posixmodule.c
2000-07-09 23:35:24 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh bb7eeff44a - added popen.popen2/popen3/popen4 support for
windows.

- added optional mode argument to popen2/popen3
  for unix; if the second argument is an integer,
  it's assumed to be the buffer size.

- changed nt.popen2/popen3/popen4 return values
  to match the popen2 module (stdout first, not
  stdin).
