Tim Peters baa03e80f4 When building the installer, prompt for the location of the system directory
on the current machine.  Wise doesn't seem to know this itself, and it
varies across Windows flavors.

Tim Peters b3d6be9d93 Windows: Fallout from renaming the pydoc file. 2001-03-11 08:06:25 +00:00
Tim Peters 1eb0a92214 SF bug Win32: pydoc command isn't executable.
As the bug report notes, the Windows installer creates a useless pydoc
file in the base directory.  Changed the installer to rename it pydoc.pyw
instead.

Tim Peters b2a22f4533 Magic strings in both Python and the Wise installer define the registry key
to be used in Windows.  They got out of synch.  Repaired that, and added
comments to each one pointing at the other.

Guido van Rossum fe010e41cc Add a new item to the Python 2.1 start menu: "Module Docs".
This brings up Ping's pydoc server.

(XXX The icons for this and for IDLE seem screwed.  Oh well.)

Tim Peters ee826f88c9 Docs for new Windows zlib build procedure. 2001-01-31 19:39:44 +00:00
Mark Hammond ae8c268a2b Fix [ Bug #129293 ] zlib library used for binary win32 distribution can crash
This involves changing the zlib build process to build zlib itself from sources, then use that library.  Also updated are the comments to reflect the new official home of zlib, and add Windows specific notes regarding the build process.

Tim Peters 54bac8e8c5 Remove unicodedatabase.c from the unicodedata subproject. 2001-01-21 23:49:56 +00:00
Tim Peters 2ad1a444e5 When running the tests twice, stuck a "Press any key to continue ..." pause
between passes:  Win9x DOS boxes are limited to 50 lines max, and the result
of the first pass scrolls off irretrievably otherwise.  Also simplified
the goto-laden logic a bit.
2001-01-20 01:53:43 +00:00
Tim Peters 2cfa9806c7 Run tests twice by default, first time deleting .pyc/.pyo files.
New option "-q" to leave .pyc/.pyo alone.
2001-01-19 21:43:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4bf9c20e18 Delete the bytecode from the library and tests before running the
tests for the first time -- like the Unix Makefile does.  This
avoids not catching problems in the bytecode generator and/or bytecode
marshalling.

Tim Peters 97c9640cc9 Windows: 2.1a1 changes so Python runs again. Note that the python20
subproject is gone, replaced by the new pythoncore subproject.

Tim Peters 686924528c Prep the Windows installer for 2.0 final:
+ Bump the build number.
+ Changed app name in installer dialogs.
+ Fiddled dialogs to repair grammar and get rid of anachronisms (e.g.,
  "ProgMan" and "Program Manager" haven't made sense since Windows 3.1!).

Tim Peters 7b5af0460c Yet another new unique extension in the test directory. 2000-09-26 02:37:53 +00:00
Tim Peters f1fcc81a01 Bump Windows "build number" to 6.
Note that somebody still needs to change the interpreter to say "2.0b2";
I'm assuming that's a normal part of somebody's Unix release checklist.

Tim Peters f58a7aafea Implemented new os.startfile function, unique to Windows, exposing a
subset of Win32 ShellExecute's functionality.  Guido wants this because
IDLE's Help -> Docs function currently crashes his machine because of a
conflict between his version of Norton AntiVirus (6.10.20) and MS's
_popen.  Docs for startfile are being mailed to Fred (or just read the
docstring -- it tells the whole story).
Changed webbrowser.py to use os.startfile instead of os.popen on Windows.
Changed IDLE's EditorWindow.py to pass an absolute path for the docs
(hardcoding ShellExecute's "directory" arg to "." as used to be done let
IDLE work, but made the startfile command exceedingly obscure for other
uses -- the MS docs are terrible, of course, & still not sure I
understand it).
Note that Windows Python must link with shell32.lib now!  That's where
ShellExecute lives.

Tim Peters 39fb28f759 Windows installer:
Don't ship debug .dll, .pyd or .lib files.  Saves space.
    Bumped the title to beta 2.
2000-09-21 07:50:36 +00:00
Tim Peters a2ebb87bfe Added simple batch file to make running the test suite from the PCbuild
directory less tedious.
2000-09-15 07:36:28 +00:00
Tim Peters 0932cb4499 Windows installer: In the Start menu IDLE shortcut, explictly invoke the
pythonw.exe we just installed.  Making Windows key off the .pyw extension
instead screws people with multiple Python installations (reported more
than once on c.l.py).
2000-09-11 07:55:40 +00:00
Tim Peters 627273165d Boost Windows build # to 5 (see new BUILDno.txt). 2000-09-07 08:37:37 +00:00
Tim Peters 553d2a5dc4 Windows installer, reflecting changes that went into a replacement 2.0b1
.exe that will show up on PythonLabs.com later today:
    Include the Lib\xml\ package (directory + subdirectories).
    Include the Lib\lib-old\ directory.
    Include the Lib\test\*.xml test cases (well, just one now).
    Remove the redundant install of Lib\*.py (looks like a stray duplicate
        line that's been there a long time).  Because of this, the new
        installer is a little smaller despite having more stuff in it.

Tim Peters 0d416d3360 Windows build: install NEWS.txt; bump BUILD# to 3 in preparation for next
installer.
2000-09-05 17:14:16 +00:00
Tim Peters 87106b58cf Now that I've got real docs, redirect _DOC_ out of the Python 1.6 tree and
to the new docs.
Added a description to the Tcl/Tk file copies.

Tim Peters 50699215f8 test_mmap wrote null bytes into its expected-output file; this caused me to
waste an hour tracking down an illusion; repaired it; writing/reading non-
printable characters (except \t\r\n) into/outof text-mode files ain't
defined x-platform, and at least some Windows text editors do surprising
things in their presence.
Also added a by-hand "build humber" to the Windows build, in an approximation
of Python's inexplicable BUILD-number Unix scheme.  I'll try to remember to
increment it each time I make a Windows installer available.  It's starting
at 2, cuz I've put 2 installers out so far (both with BUILD #0).
2000-09-04 07:34:06 +00:00
Tim Peters 7527e00058 Install LICENSE.txt and README.txt.
In the Welcome dialog:
    Reworded reference to non-existent "Exit Setup" button.
    Removed useless "Back" button.
    Changed "push" to "click".
2000-09-01 19:59:11 +00:00
Tim Peters 9a83b92c75 Guido pointed out that the "non-admin install" blurb got displayed
very late in the process when running on Windows 2000 without admim
privs.  Rearranged so that the admin check is done at the start
instead.  Added words to the end of the blurb to make it very clear
how to abort the install (wasn't obvious to me that "Cancel" was
the right thing to click).
2000-09-01 19:30:26 +00:00
Tim Peters f6f6fa237f Back off to HKCU (instead of HKLM) if user doesn't have "NT adminstrator
privileges".  Untested except on Win98SE (where Wise writes to HKLM).
