I'd done that already?!); disable gdbm by default
* configure.in, */Makefile*.in: OPT can now be specified in the
env at configure time and will then be put in all Makefiles as
default
* */Makefile*.in: remove lib*.a before adding to it
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: use pclose, not fclose!
selectmodule.c: trap negative fileno's, change some error messages.
stropmodule.c: change semantics of rindex to match string.py.
* tkintermodule.c (FileHandler): Make arg a tuple; bug found
by <tnb2d@cs.virginia.edu>. Call the Python file handler
function with (file, mask) argument. Fix a few of my refcnt bugs.
Does not need any SGI-specific libraries.
cgen.py, cstubs, Makefile: Generate glmodule.c differently so that it
can be compiled using an ANSI compiler.
* dosmodule.c: MSDOS specific stuff from posixmodule.c.
* posixmodule.c: removed all MSDOS specific stuff.
* tokenizer.h, parsetok.h: in prototypes, don't mix named and unnamed
parameters (MSC doesn't like this).
* traceback.c (tb_print): use sys.tracebacklimit as a maximum number of
traceback entries to print (default 1000).
* ceval.c (printtraceback): Don't print stack trace header -- this is now
done by tb_print().
-- function of module audioop: minmax (FRAGMENT, WIDTH)
Minmax returns a tuple consisting of the minimum and maximum
values of all samples in the sound fragment.
* 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.
each dir in sys.path, try each possible extension. (Note: C extensions
are loaded before Python modules in the same directory, to allow having
a C version used when dynamic loading is supported and a Python version
as a back-up.)
* import.c (reload_module): test for error from getmodulename()
* moduleobject.c: implement module name as dict entry '__name__' instead
of special-casing it in module_getattr(); this way a module (or
function!) can access its own module name, and programs that know what
they are doing can rename modules.
* stdwinmodule.c (initstdwin): strip ".py" suffix of argv[0].
