us to completely decouple the framework from the executable, so we
can use a two-level namespace.
- Do framework builds with a twolevel namespace.
- Reorganized the code that creates the minimal framework in the build
directory, to make it more robust against incomplete frameworks (from
earlier aborted builds, or builds of previous Python versions).
Don't pass CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE to CreateProcess(), meaning our child process is in the same "console group" and therefore interrupted by the same Ctrl+C that interrupts the parent.
MSDN sample programs use it, apparently in error. The correct name
is WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN. After switching to the correct name, in two
cases more was needed because the code actually relied on things that
disappear when WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN is defined.
- Include a blank line between the signature line and the description
(Guido sez).
- Don't include "-> None" for API functions that always return None
because they don't have a meaningful return value.
and returns None. This allows any object that supports the fileno()
method to be passed as a file descriptor, not just an integer.
posix_fchdir(): New exposed function: implements posix.fchdir(). This
closes SF feature #536796.
posix_fsync(), posix_fdatasync(): Convert to use posix_fildes() instead
of posix_int(). This also changes them from METH_VARARGS to METH_O
functions.
setup_confname_table(): Remove unused variable. Change to take a module
rather than a dict to save the resulting table into.
setup_confname_tables(): Change to take a module instead of a dict to
pass to setup_confname_table().
457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python
226766: popen('python -c"...."') tends to hang
Fixes argument quoting in w9xpopen.exe for Windows 9x. w9xpopen.exe
also never attempts to display a MessageBox when not executed
interactively.
Added test_popen() test. This test currently just executes
"python -c ..." as a child process, and checks that the expected
arguments were all recieved correctly by the child process. This
test succeeds for me on Win9x, win2k and Linux, and I hope it does
for other popen supported platforms too :)
over SEP, ALTSEP and MAXPATHLEN.
Patched up posixmodule.c for MSVC, but unsure what the story is now on
other non-Unixish platforms -- the preprocessor maze has no exit <wink>.
Modules/
posixmodule.c
- use SEP,ALTSEP #defines instead of hard coded path separator chars
- use EMX specific variants of chdir2(),getcwd() that support drive letters
- OS/2+EMX spawnv(),spawnve() support
- EMX specific popen[234]() derived from Win32 popen[234]() code
where their capabilities intersect. Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).
Patch from Mark Hammond, plus code rearrangement and comments from me.
posix_do_stat(): Windows-specific code could try to free() stack
memory in some cases when a path ending with a forward or backward slash
was passed to os.stat().
type.__module__ behavior.
This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're
not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.

Release the global interpreter lock around platform spawn calls.
Bugfix candidate? Hard to say; I favor "yes, bugfix".
These clearly *should* have been releasing the GIL all along, if for no
other reason than compatibility with the similar os.system(). But it's
possible some program out there is (a) multithreaded, (b) calling a spawn
function with P_WAIT, and (c) relying on the spawn call to block all their
threads until the spawned program completes. I think it's very unlikely
anyone is doing that on purpose, but someone may be doing so by accident.
