(still at the start of the manual), and "Python Language Services" (late
in the manual). Moved "Restricted Execution" to just before "Python
Language Services."
the Python Unicode implementation.
The internal buffer used for implementing the buffer protocol
is renamed to defenc to make this change visible. It now holds the
default encoded version of the Unicode object and is calculated
on demand (NULL otherwise).
Since the default encoding defaults to ASCII, this will mean that
Unicode objects which hold non-ASCII characters will no longer
work on C APIs using the "s" or "t" parser markers. C APIs must now
explicitly provide Unicode support via the "u", "U" or "es"/"es#"
parser markers in order to work with non-ASCII Unicode strings.
(Note: this patch will also have to be applied to the 1.6 branch
of the CVS tree.)
zip() description: Fix broken markup, three small markup consistency nits,
and one really minor usage nit. Introduce use of \moreargs instead
of hardcoding "..." with \optional.
do_cmd_unspecified(): New functions to reflect previously unused markup.
do_cmd_file(): Simplified generated markup to only make use of the
existing stylesheet.
do_cmd_makevar(): Make the markup more stylesheet-friendly.
This doesn't change the copyright status for these files -- just the
markings! Doing it on the main branch for these three files for which
the HEAD revision was pushed back into 1.6.
accepted by the BDFL.
builtin_zip(): New function to implement the zip() function described
in the above proposal.
zip_doc[]: Docstring for zip().
builtin_methods[]: added entry for zip()
- added big comment describing possible problems
- look for and react to versions of gcc, ld, and dlltool; mainly
this is done by the 'get_versions()' function and the CygwinCCompiler
and Mingw32CCompiler constructors
- move 'check_config_h()' to end of file and defer calling it until
we need to (ie. in the CygwinCCompiler constructor)
- lots of changes in 'link_shared_object()' -- mostly seems to be
library and DLL stuff, but I don't follow it entirely
it so BCPPCompiler actually works, so I'm provisionally accepting it
-- ugly and working is better than not working! Major changes:
- normalize paths (apparently BC++ doesn't like slashes)
- overhauled how we search for and specify libraries on the linker
command-line
- hacked up 'find_library_file()' so it knows about "debug" library
naming convention as well as "bcpp_xxx.lib" -- the question is,
is this a well-established and sensible convention?
Also:
- change to use 'util.write_file()' to write the .def file
- 'export_symbol_file' (and corresponding 'def_file' in the old
"build info" dict) are gone; warn if we see 'def_file' in the
dict
- the MSVC "pre-link hack" is gone -- all that stuff is now handled
elsewhere (eg. by using 'export_symbols', etc.)
- add 'get_export_symbols()' and 'get_libraries()' methods -- needed
because on Windows, both of those things are a tad more complicated
than fetching them from the Extension instance
-- fixed literal check in branch operator
(this broke test_tokenize, as reported by Mark Favas)
-- added REPEAT_ONE operator (still not enabled, though)
-- added some debugging stuff (maxlevel)
