Check for readline 2.2 features. This should make it possible to

installations. With an older readline, completion behavior is subtly
different (a space is always added).

I've got no time to research this further, so I leave it in Jeremy and
Martin's capable hands to find a different solution for True64 (or to
devise a way to get the time tests to succeed while defining
_XOPEN_SOURCE).
This gets compilation of posixmodule.c to succeed on Tru64 and does no
harm on Linux. We may need to undefine it on some platforms, but
let's wait and see.

The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure. Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers. (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)
I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static. This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.

A result of this mod is that the default 8bit encoding on OSX is now ASCII,

This is a big one, touching lots of files. Some of the platforms
aren't tested yet. Briefly, this changes the return value of the
os/posix functions stat(), fstat(), statvfs(), fstatvfs(), and the
time functions localtime(), gmtime(), and strptime() from tuples into
pseudo-sequences. When accessed as a sequence, they behave exactly as
before. But they also have attributes like st_mtime or tm_year. The
stat return value, moreover, has a few platform-specific attributes
that are not available through the sequence interface (because
everybody expects the sequence to have a fixed length, these couldn't
be added there). If your platform's struct stat doesn't define
st_blksize, st_blocks or st_rdev, they won't be accessible from Python
either.

out of the box on OSX 10.1. Untested by me (except for not having adverse

the time to install 10.1 myself I have no clue what to test on.
It would be nice if this got in to the 2.2a3 distribution.
I don't know what difference it makes, but '/' indeed makes less sense

can close the bug. ;-)
I believe this works on Linux (tested both on a system with large file
support and one without it), and it may work on Solaris 2.7.
The changes are twofold:
(1) The configure script now boldly tries to set the two symbols that
are recommended (for Solaris and Linux), and then tries a test
script that does some simple seeking without writing.
(2) The _portable_{fseek,ftell} functions are a little more systematic
in how they try the different large file support options: first
try fseeko/ftello, but only if off_t is large; then try
fseek64/ftell64; then try hacking with fgetpos/fsetpos.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The meaning of the
HAVE_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT macro is not at all clear.
I'll see if I can get it to work on Windows as well.

(or not? should I automatically set it?)
- Got --with-next-framework to build on OSX. This is only the build bit,
the install still has to be done manually. Moreover, the Python build order
isn't really suited to frameworks (where you want to do 'build lib',
'install lib and framework', 'link executable against installed framework'
in that order).
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.

There is one known warning at this time, caught by the -Wstrict-prototypes

a complete prototype information should be corrected when the right
portability conditions have been identified.

latter already does everything the former does (because it's implemented as
a call to the former.)
- Don't call AC_CHECK_FUNC() without any 'action' clauses or with an action
clause that just defines HAVE_<function>. Instead, call AC_CHECK_FUNCS,
which defines 'HAVE_<function>' of itself, possibly with aditional 'action'

This patch adds the openpty() and forkpty() library calls to posixmodule.c,
when they are available on the target
system. (glibc-2.1-based Linux systems, FreeBSD and BSDI at least, probably
the other BSD-based systems as well.)
Lib/pty.py is also rewritten to use openpty when available, but falls
back to the old SGI method or the "manual" BSD open-a-pty
code. Openpty() is necessary to use the Unix98 ptys under Linux 2.2,
or when using non-standard tty names under (at least) BSDI, which is
why I needed it, myself ;-) forkpty() is included for symmetry.
create shared extensions rather than 'ld -G'. This ensures that shared
extensions link against libgcc.a, in case there are any functions in the
GCC runtime not already in the Python core.
Solaris 2 has stub implementations of the POSIX thread functions such as
pthread_detach in libc. This means that configure tries to use them without
-lpthread, then the test of pthread_create fails and the configuration
falls back to the Solaris thread library. This patch moves the test for
pthread_create in -lpthread ahead of the test for pthread_detach in libc.
The patch also ensures that -lpthread is at the start of the library list
when linking, to pick up POSIX thread semantics for fork (see below).
Justification.
Use of POSIX threads on Solaris ensures that the fork() call only runs the
thread that called fork() in the child. This is desirable to prevent (for
example) parent server or database threads running in the child. Sun's
-lthread library uses a traditional fork() which replicates all the
parent's threads in the child. I find this undesirable.
Digression.
The configure.in seems to always test for -lthread even if a POSIX library
is found. I'm not enough of a configure.in wizard to decide whether this is
desirable or how to fix it. It is also irrelevant to this patch - I just
spotted it while testing.
End of Digression.

The following patches (relative to 1.5.2b1) enable Python dynamic
loading to work on NetBSD platforms that use ELF (presnetly mips and
alpha systems). They automaticly determine wether the system is ELF or
a.out rather than using astatic list of platforms so that when other
NetBSD platforms move to ELF, python will continue to work without
change.
it seems harmless for other platforms. It plays tricks with the name
of the library used to link with. Apparently DG/UX really wants a
shared library to link with if it wants shared modules to use symbols
from the library. I'm not sure why this wasn't an issue with 1.4;
DG/UX seems to be the only platform where moving to a single library
made things harder!
BTW This adds a target to create libpython$(VERSION).so; however this
target is *only* for DG/UX.
