Implement sys.maxunicode.
Explicitly wrap around upper/lower computations for wide Py_UNICODE.
When decoding large characters with UTF-8, represent expected test
results using the \U notation.
and trace functions lazily, which incurs extra argument pushing and checks
in the C overhead for profiling/tracing, create the strings semi-lazily
when the Python code first registers a profile or trace function. This
simplifies the trampoline into the profile/trace functions.
Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.
New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook.
Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back
to calling PyErr_Display directly.
Also comes with sys.__excepthook__ and sys.__displayhook__.
re-initializing Python (Py_Finalize() followed by Py_Initialize()) to
blow up quickly. With the DECREF removed I can't get it to fail any
more. (Except it still leaks, but that's probably a separate issue.)
ceval.c:
define recurion_limit (static), default value is 2500
define Py_GetRecursionLimit and Py_SetRecursionLimit
raise RuntimeError if limit is exceeded
PC/config.h:
remove plat-specific definition
sysmodule.c:
add sys.(get|set)recursionlimit
string literals has not been tested on an MS_WIN16 platform; the trailing
";" was inside the #ifndef MS_WIN16, which should cause an error (missing
semi-colon) when compiled with that symbol #defined.
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.
In other words, hex(sys.hexversion) == 0x010502b2 for Python 1.5.2b2.
This is derived from the new variable PY_VERSION_HEX defined in patchlevel.h.
(Cute, eh?)

PySys_WriteStdout(format, ...)
PySys_WriteStderr(format, ...)
The first function writes to sys.stdout; the second to sys.stderr. When
there is a problem, they write to the real (C level) stdout or stderr;
no exceptions are raised (but a pending exception may be cleared when a
new exception is caught).
Both take a printf-style format string as their first argument followed
by a variable length argument list determined by the format string.
*** WARNING ***
The format should limit the total size of the formatted output string to
1000 bytes. In particular, this means that no unrestricted "%s" formats
should occur; these should be limited using "%.<N>s where <N> is a
decimal number calculated so that <N> plus the maximum size of other
formatted text does not exceed 1000 bytes. Also watch out for "%f",
which can print hundreds of digits for very large numbers.
dirname in sys.path. This means that you can create a symbolic link
foo in /usr/local/bin pointing to /usr/yourname/src/foo/foo.py, and
then invoking foo will insert /usr/yourname/src/foo in sys.path, not
/usr/local/bin. This makes it easier to have multifile programs
(before, the program would have to do an os.readlink(sys.argv[0])
itself and insert the resulting directory in sys.path -- Grail does
this).
Note that the expansion is only used for sys.path; sys.argv[0] is
still the original, unadorned filename (/usr/local/bin/foo in the
example).
directory containing argv[0] is inserted in front of sys.path.
If argv[0] contains no directory, an empty string is inserted.
If argv is empty, nothing happens.
getcounts() returns a list of counts of allocations and
deallocations for all different object types.
getobjects(n [, type ]) returns a list of recently allocated
and not-yet-freed objects of the given type (all
objects if no type given). Only the n most recent
(all if n==0) objects are returned.
getcounts is only available if compiled with -DCOUNT_ALLOCS,
getobjects is only available if compiled with -DTRACE_REFS. Note that
everything must be compiled with these options!
bltinmodule.c: fixed coerce() nightmare in ternary pow().
modsupport.c (initmodule2): pass METH_FREENAME flag to newmethodobject().
pythonrun.c: move flushline() into and around print_error().
* various modules: added 1993 to copyright.
* thread.c: added copyright notice.
* ceval.c: minor change to error message for "+"
* stdwinmodule.c: check for error from wfetchcolor
* config.c: MS-DOS fixes (define PYTHONPATH, use DELIM, use osdefs.h)
* Add declaration of inittab to import.h
* sysmodule.c: added sys.builtin_module_names
* xxmodule.c, xxobject.c: fix minor errors
sys.stderr or sys.stdin, and to work with any object as long as it has
a write() (respectively readline()) methods. Some functions that took
a FILE* argument now take an object* argument.
arguments crashed in INCREF() calls which should be XINCREF() calls.
timemodule.c: fix for SEQUENT port (sys/select, struct timezone) by
