Guido van Rossum ec5b776998 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Doc strings can now be given as Unicode strings.

Guido van Rossum 3c1bb8043f Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Fixed a reference leak in the allocator.

Renamed utf8_string to _PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() and made
it external for use by other parts of the interpreter.

Guido van Rossum 700c6ff1fb Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Fixed a memory leak found by Fredrik Lundh.  Instead of
PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() we now use _PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() which
returns the string object without incremented refcount (and assures
that the so obtained object remains alive until the Unicode object is
garbage collected).

Greg Ward 38c28e379c Added a note to the section on 'exec' about the need for a trailing newline
in certain circumstances.  (Apparently, this is a CPython problem.)

Greg Ward 6a647bb910 Added the "--root" option as a sort of meta-install-base; if supplied,
it is forcibly prepended onto all installation directories, even if
  they are already absolute.
Added 'dump_dirs()' to clean up the debug output a bit.
2000-04-27 01:56:38 +00:00
Greg Ward 67f75d4bcb Added 'change_root()' to forcibly slap a new root directory onto a pathname,
even if it's already absolute.  Currently only implemented for Unix; I'm
not entirely sure of the right thing to do for DOS/Windows, and have no
clue what to do for Mac OS.

Jack Jansen bad9c7675a Almost ready for 1.6a2. 2000-04-26 22:00:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c410e92974 Jack Jansen:
This patch is a workaround for Macintosh, where the GUSI I/O library
(time, stat, etc) use the MacOS epoch of 1-Jan-1904 and the MSL C
library (ctime, localtime, etc) uses the (apparently ANSI standard)
epoch of 1-Jan-1900. Python programs see the MacOS epoch and we
convert values when needed.

Jeremy Hylton 9e392e2412 potentially useless optimization
The previous checkin (2.84) added a PyErr_Format call that made the
cost of raising an AttributeError much more expensive.  In general
this doesn't matter, except that checks for __init__ and
__del__ methods, where exceptions are caught and cleared in C, also
got much more expensive.

The fix is to split instance_getattr1 into two calls:

instance_getattr2 checks the instance and the class for the attribute
and returns it or returns NULL on error.  It does not raise an
exception.

instance_getattr1 does rexec checks, then calls instance_getattr2.  It
raises an exception if instance_getattr2 returns NULL.

PyInstance_New and instance_dealloc now call instance_getattr2
directly.

Guido van Rossum 50422b403c Michael Hudson:
This patch changes posixmodule.c:execv to

a) check for zero length args (does this to execve, too), raising
   ValueError.

b) raises more rational exceptions for various flavours of duff arguments.
   I *hate*
      TypeError: "illegal argument type for built-in operation"
   It has to be one of the most frustrating error messages ever.
2000-04-26 20:34:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 868b50af17 Michael Hudson fixes a case where execv() is called (for a test) with
an empty argument list -- another patch he's checking in will make
this illegal (the first argument should always be the program name).

Fred Drake ac308d0a6f Added a "See also:" section that exhibits the \seerfc markup. 2000-04-26 18:20:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 64b72b6f4f Define \seerfc within the seealso environment. 2000-04-26 18:13:58 +00:00
Fred Drake 37cc0c0e9f ref_module_index_helper(): Use "my" instead of "local".
get_rfc_url():  New function; returns the URL for a numbered IETF RFC.

do_cmd_rfc():  Use get_rfc_url() instead of hard-coding in the HTML
               formatting.

do_cmd_seerfc():  New function.

do_env_definitions():  Small change to avoid "local".

Greg Ward ff2d9b7154 Hacked things up a bit so that configuration variables are expanded
in command-line options, and in two phases at that: first, we expand
'install_base' and 'install_platbase', and then the other 'install_*'
options.  This lets us do tricky stuff like
    install --prefix='/tmp$sys_prefix'
...oooh, neat.

Simplified 'select_scheme()' -- it's no longer responsible for expanding
config vars, tildes, etc.

Define installation-specific config vars in 'self.config_vars', rather than
in a local dictionary of one method.  Also factored '_expand_attrs()' out
of 'expand_dirs()' and added 'expand_basedirs()'.

Added a bunch of debugging output so I (and others) can judge the
success of this crazy scheme through direct feedback.

Guido van Rossum 14f3f59d2b Fix typo in last patch -- the symbol's name is MSG_DONWAIT, not
MSG_DONTWAIT.  Reported by Fredrik Lundh.
2000-04-25 21:53:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2c8bcb8794 Patch by Charles G Waldman:
1)  Adds MSG_DONTWAIT if defined (I needed this)
2)  Spells "coreectly" correctly ;-)
2000-04-25 21:34:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f3335e193b Patch inspired by Just van Rossum: on the Mac, in savefilename(), make
the path to save a relative path by prefixing it with os.sep (':').
Also fix an indent inconsistency in the same function.

Guido van Rossum c4428c58bb Charles G Waldman: Doing a PyObject_New then PyMem_DEL causes havoc if
you are trying to use Py_TRACE_REFS.

Guido van Rossum 7da3cc5dfb Michael Hudson:
I think that after this patch, all objects in the os module (with names
that don't start with "_") that can have docstrings, do, on Linux at
least.

Also fix a nit in one of my spawn* docstrings.

Fred Drake e7ab64e070 validate_arglist(): Re-written to reflect extended call syntax.
validate_numnodes():  Added comment to explain the sometimes idiomatic
        usage pattern.

Guido van Rossum c35a20ed1e Mark Hammond: Added dependency of winsound project on python16
project.  [However I didn't add the other changes in his patch, which
were just taking away the source code control stuff -- this doesn't
hurt and would come back as soon as I make another change. --GvR]
2000-04-25 03:24:06 +00:00
Greg Ward 4a9e72266d Added section headers for "Extending the Distutils" section (just
a reminder to myself).

Greg Ward a74ce01c98 Bumped version to 0.8.2. 2000-04-25 01:55:58 +00:00
Greg Ward f194878d6a Harry Henry Gebel:
Adds bztar format to generate .tar.bz2 tarballs

Uses the -f argument to overright old tarballs automatically, I am
assuming that if the old tarball was wanted it would have been moved or
else the version number would have been changed.

Uses the -9 argument to bzip2 and gzip to use maximum
compression. Compress uses the maximum compression by default.

Tests for correct value for the 'compress' argument of make_tarball. This
is one less place for someone adding new compression programs to forget to
change.

Greg Ward 464023fb64 Lyle Johnson: fixed broken logic in 'native_path()'. 2000-04-25 01:33:11 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e92e610a9e Christian Tismer -- total rewrite on trashcan code.
Improvements:
- does no longer need any extra memory
- has no relationship to tstate
- works in debug mode
- can easily be modified for free threading (hi Greg:)

Side effects:
Trashcan does change the order of object destruction.
Prevending that would be quite an immense effort, as
my attempts have shown. This version works always
the same, with debug mode or not. The slightly
changed destruction order should therefore be no problem.

Algorithm:
While the old idea of delaying the destruction of some
obejcts at a certain recursion level was kept, we now
no longer aloocate an object to hold these objects.
The delayed objects are instead chained together
via their ob_type field. The type is encoded via
ob_refcnt. When it comes to the destruction of the
chain of waiting objects, the topmost object is popped
off the chain and revived with type and refcount 1,
then it gets a normal Py_DECREF.

I am confident that this solution is near optimum
for minimizing side effects and code bloat.

Guido van Rossum db575db0d6 Add definition of socklen_t so that socketmodule.c will compile on Windows. 2000-04-24 15:37:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ff3ab42c04 Jack Jansen: The GUSI 2.0 I/O library used on the Mac uses the
socklen_t (unsigned int) for most size parameters.  Apparently this is
part of the UNIX 98 standard.

[GvR: the changes to configure.in etc. that I just checked in make
sure that socklen_t is defined everywhere, so I deleted the little
part of Jack's mod to define socklen_t if not in GUSI2.  I suppose I
will have to add it to the Windows config.h in a minute.]
2000-04-24 15:16:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ddc3b63bf6 Jack Jansen: The GUSI 2.0 I/O library (which is used on the Mac)
doesn't use the special header file for select anymore.

Guido van Rossum 59903fe2b5 Added tests for socklen_t 2000-04-24 15:12:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b33aa1a51e Jack Jansen: The new version of the GUSI i/o library on the Macintosh
has a few slightly different calls from the old one.

Andrew M. Kuchling 43c5af026f Fix to previous patch: send the request data when it's provided 2000-04-24 14:17:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c1488413e4 Added a provision to stop all threads before exiting from the test:
the change to regrtest.py to unload all newly imported modules did
something bad to the threads -- and I realized that they would never
stop!

Guido van Rossum 00f09b3821 Security patch for Unix by Chris McDonough.
This uses the same precautions when trying to find a temporary
directory as when the actual tempfile is created (using O_CREAT and
O_EXCL).  On non-posix platforms, nothing is changed.
