[ #510644 ] test_curses segfaults
If we use the *object* *allocator*, we should use the *object* *deallocator*,
not the *raw memory* deallocator (confused yet?).
I think this was what caused segfaults when pymalloc was enabled.
Even if it wasn't the cause, it's still wrong.
2.2.1 candidate.
[ #504284 ] Last build problems on AIX
I'm ignoring the suggestion that this should be an autoconf test in the
interests of having a fix today. Feel free to quibble.
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.
STRICT_SYSV_CURSES when compiling curses module on HP/UX. Generalize
access to _flags on systems where WINDOW is opaque. Fixes bugs
#432497, #422265, and the curses parts of #467145 and #473150.
Allow passing strings to the .border() method
Correct some error messages ("1 or 4" -> "1 to 4")
Bump version number
Tweak code formatting
Update my e-mail address
Michael Hudson suggested this fox for the Tru64 problem (SF bug
232597). It looks reasonable, it works on Tru64, and it doesn't beak
anything on Linux, so I say go for it.
build on SGI":
* Check for 'sgi' preprocessor symbol, not '__sgi__'
* Surround individual character macros with #ifdef's, instead of making them
all rely on STRICT_SYSV_CURSES
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 ;)
Lots of typo fixes (a bit too much cut-and-paste in this module)
Aliases removed: attr_on, attr_off, attr_set
Lowercased the names COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER
#ifdef's for compiling on Solaris added (need to understand SYSV curses
versions better and generalize this)
Bumped version number bumped to 1.6

For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.
(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode. I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)
(1) Use PyErr_NewException("module.class", NULL, NULL) to create the
exception object.
(2) Remove all calls to Py_FatalError(); instead, return or
ignore the errors -- the import code now checks PyErr_Occurred()
after calling a module's init function, so it's no longer a
fatal error for the initialization to fail.
Also did some small cleanups, e.g. removed unnecessary test for
"already initialized" from initfpectl(), and unified
initposix()/initnt().
I haven't checked this very thoroughly, so while the changes are
pretty trivial -- beware of untested code!
that the module-specific components are in the section for that
module.
cursesmodule.c: patched it so it actually works.
tkintermodule.c: call Py_AtExit instead of atexit().
signalmodule.c: converted to new naming style; added
BGN/END SAVE around pause() call.
socketmodule.c: added setblocking() after Tommy Burnette.
