Add Unicode support and error handling to AsString(). Both AsString()
and Merge() now return NULL and set a proper Python exception
condition when an error happens; Merge() and other callers of
AsString() check for errors from AsString(). Also fixed cleanup in
Merge() and Tkapp_Call() return cleanup code; the fv array was not
necessarily completely initialized, causing calls to ckfree() with
garbage arguments!
(Also reindented some lines that were longer than 80 chars and
reformatted some code that used an alien coding standard.)
Script to regenerate platform-specific modules of constants.
[I moved common paths to variables for easier reading by humans. -- FLD]
This closes SourceForge patch #101781.
Do not assume that all platforms using a MetroWorks compiler can use
POSIX threads; the assumption breaks on BeOS. This fix only helps
for BeOS.
This closes SourceForge patch #101772.
code, in case someone wants to use it as a keyword paramter.
ZIP_DEFLATED description: Do not reveal the specific value of the
constant, since code should only use the symbolic name.
bug #113797. We should be able to resolve this for the next release.
Reflowed the comments on Monterey (64-bit AIX) to match the flow of the
other platform-specific sections.
raise ValueError. Checked in the patch as far as it went, but also changed
all of ints, longs and floats to raise ZeroDivisionError instead when raising
0 to a negative number. This is what 754-inspired stds require, as the "true
result" is an infinity obtained from finite operands, i.e. it's a singularity.
Also changed float pow to not be so timid about using its square-and-multiply
algorithm. Note that what math.pow does is unrelated to what builtin pow
does, and will still vary by platform.
test -d "$directory"

test ! -z "directory" -a -d "directory"
Apparently, on SunOS 4.1.4_JL (and other?) OSes, -d on an empty string
always returns true. This closes SF bug #115392.
result-object-pointer that is passed in, when an exception occurs during
coercion. The pointer has to be explicitly initialized in the caller to avoid
putting trash on the Python stack.
#define'd to an unreasonable value (several recent gcc systems have
misdefined it, causing bogus overflows in integer multiplication). Nuke
CHAR_BIT entirely.
(I had explicitly disabled it a while ago, possibly unecessarily, along with
rgbimg, audioop, and imageop, which are advertised as "not for 64-bit
platforms.)
in earlier versions of Python; this is useful information for people
interested in writing code that is portable across Python versions.
