(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.
shorter names (dropped the "module" from the name): sunaudiodev,
imgformat, audioop, imageop, imgfile
* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): make rindex('abc', '') do
the right thing (i.e. return 3 instead of 0)
* Modules/socketmodule.c: disabled allowbroadcast() socket method
* posixmodule.c: don't prototype getcwd() -- it's not portable...
* mappingobject.c: double-check validity of last_name_char in
dict{lookup,insert,remove}.
* arraymodule.c: need memmove only for non-STDC Suns.
* Makefile: comment out HTML_LIBS and XT_USE by default
* pythonmain.c: don't prototype getopt() -- it's not standardized
* socketmodule.c: cast flags arg to {get,set}sockopt() and addrbuf arg to
recvfrom() to (ANY*).
* pythonrun.c (initsigs): fix prototype, make it static
* intobject.c (LONG_BIT): only #define it if not already defined
* classobject.[ch]: remove all references to unused instance_convert()
* mappingobject.c (getmappingsize): Don't return NULL in int function.
Added $(SYSDEF) to its build rule in Makefile.
* cgensupport.[ch], modsupport.[ch]: removed some old stuff. Also
changed files that still used it... And made several things static
that weren't but should have been... And other minor cleanups...
* listobject.[ch]: add external interfaces {set,get}listslice
* socketmodule.c: fix bugs in new send() argument parsing.
* sunaudiodevmodule.c: added flush() and close().
function found as instance data.
* socketmodule.c: added 'flags' argument sendto/recvfrom, rewrite
argument parsing in send/recv.
* More changes related to access (terminology change: owner instead of
class; allow any object as owner; local/global variables are owned
by their dictionary, only class/instance data is owned by the class;
"from...import *" now only imports objects with public access; etc.)
* Fixcprt.py: added [-y file] option, do only files younger than file.
* modsupport.[ch]: added vmkvalue().
* intobject.c: use mkvalue().
* stringobject.c: added "formatstring"; renamed string* to string_*;
ceval.c: call formatstring for string % value.
* longobject.c: close memory leak in divmod.
* parsetok.c: set result node to NULL when returning an error.
return NULL for malloc(0) or realloc(p, 0). (This should be done
differently than wasting one byte, but alas...)
* Moved "add'l libraries" option in Makefile to an earlier place.
* Remove argument compatibility hacks (b) and (c).
* Add grey2mono, dither2mono and mono2grey to imageop.
* Dup the fd in socket.fromfd().
* Added new modules mpz, md5 (by JH, requiring GNU MP 1.2). Affects
Makefile and config.c.
* socketmodule.c: added socket.fromfd(fd, family, type, [proto]),
converted socket() to use of getargs().
* socketmodule.c: get rid of makepair(); fix makesocketaddr to fix
broken recvfrom()
* socketmodule: get rid of getStrarg()
* ceval.h: move eval_code() to new file eval.h, so compile.h is no
longer needed.
* ceval.c: move thread comments to ceval.h; always make save/restore
thread functions available (for dynloaded modules)
* cdmodule.c, listobject.c: don't include compile.h
* flmodule.c: include ceval.h
* import.c: include eval.h instead of ceval.h
* cgen.py: add forground(); noport(); winopen(""); to initgl().
* bltinmodule.c, socketmodule.c, fileobject.c, posixmodule.c,
selectmodule.c:
adapt to threads (add BGN/END SAVE macros)
* stdwinmodule.c: adapt to threads and use a special stdwin lock.
* pythonmain.c: don't include getpythonpath().
* pythonrun.c: use BGN/END SAVE instead of direct calls; also more
BGN/END SAVE calls etc.
* thread.c: bigger stack size for sun; change exit() to _exit()
* threadmodule.c: use BGN/END SAVE macros where possible
* timemodule.c: adapt better to threads; use BGN/END SAVE; add
longsleep internal function if BSD_TIME; cosmetics
