Guido van Rossum f5831ae92e New blurb, derived from my Handbook of Object Technology abstract. 1997-11-20 15:42:18 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4552f3d6de In the description of sub(), give a better explanation of the
interface when repl is a function.  Also give a simple example of
using a function repl.

Guido van Rossum bd1169a93e Add Martin von Loewis as the author of this module. 1997-11-19 19:02:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum eef1d4e8b1 User-level locale module. A wrapper around _locale which adds
format(), str(), atof(), and atoi().  The last three are locale
sensitive versions of the corresponding standard functions (only for
numbers though); format() does general %[efg] formatting taking the
locale into account, optionally with thousands grouping.

Guido van Rossum 3df69bca0a Add support for _locale. 1997-11-19 18:57:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fc4255db75 Add s.connect_ex() which returns errno instead of raising an exception. 1997-11-19 18:57:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aec7497f6f Add optional support fort Tix and BLT. 1997-11-19 18:56:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2e58ff3ef5 Fix importing of shared libraries from inside packages.
This is a bit of a hack: when the shared library is loaded, the module
name is "package.module", but the module calls Py_InitModule*() with just
"module" for the name.  The shared library loader squirrels away the true
name of the module in _Py_PackageContext, and Py_InitModule*() will
substitute this (if the name actually matches).

Guido van Rossum ee6fd1c392 Add declaration for _Py_PackageContext -- needed to fix importing
of shared libraries from inside packages.
1997-11-19 18:51:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 858cb73bb2 Two changes (here we go again :-( ).
1) The __builtins__ variable in the __main__ module is set to the
__builtin__ module instead of its __dict__.

2) Get rid of the SIGHUP and SIGTERM handlers.  They can't be made to
work reliably when threads may be in use, they are Unix specific, and
Python programmers can now program this functionality is a safer way
using the signal module.

Guido van Rossum df9db1ea18 Give more detailed error message when the argument count isn't right. 1997-11-19 16:05:40 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 127b8dd8d4 Add declaration for PyNumber_CoerceEx(). 1997-11-19 16:04:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 242c64256c Add a new function PyNumber_CoerceEx() which works just like
PyNumber_Coerce() except that when the coercion can't be done and no
other exceptions happen, it returns 1 instead of raising an
exception.

Use this function in PyObject_Compare() to avoid raising an exception
simply because two objects with numeric behavior can't be coerced to a
common type; instead, proceed with the non-numeric default comparison.

Note that this is a somewhat questionable practice -- comparisons for
numeric objects shouldn't default to random behavior like this, but it
is required for backward compatibility.  (Case in point, it broke
comparison of kjDict objects to integers in Aaron Watters' kjbuckets
extension.)  A correct fix (for python 2.0) should involve a different
definiton of comparison altogether.

Guido van Rossum 220ecc8c4b Martin von Loewis' _locale module (locale.py follows tomorrow). 1997-11-18 21:03:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3931df9250 Undo another glitch of the automatic not-so-Grand Renaming; some local
variables called 'coerce' were accidentally renamed to
'PyNumber_Coerce'.  Rename them back to coercefunc.

Guido van Rossum a219efaa7b Sjoerd Mullender's xml parser (based on sgmllib, somewhat). 1997-11-18 15:09:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 46de1b0669 This BUGS list hasn't been updated since the release of Python 1.2!
It is useless.  My real bugs database is currently being maintained
with GNATS.

Guido van Rossum 359bcaa539 This fix (across 4 files in 3 directories) solves a subtle problem with
signal handlers in a fork()ed child process when Python is compiled with
thread support.  The bug was reported by Scott <scott@chronis.icgroup.com>.

What happens is that after a fork(), the variables used by the signal
module to determine whether this is the main thread or not are bogus,
and it decides that no thread is the main thread, so no signals will
be delivered.

The solution is the addition of PyOS_AfterFork(), which fixes the signal
module's variables.  A dummy version of the function is present in the
intrcheck.c source file which is linked when the signal module is not
used.

Guido van Rossum c9fd600640 Suggestion by David Ascher: set EXE macro to empty string and use it
in a few places -- so it can be set to .exe on GNUWIN32 platforms and
do the right thing.  Whatever.  (This was already done in
Modules/Makefile* but wasn't carried over here.)

Guido van Rossum 6592b3c01e Use a %s format for the exit status -- through the magical workings of
the aptly named MagicDict class, the value is a string, not a number,
by the time it is printed...

Guido van Rossum ca2f69cb96 As Mark Hammond found out, it was a bad idea to add "set -e" to the
check in command -- this fails for new files!

Guido van Rossum 6f5a312cec New version from Neale... He promised it's the last. 1997-11-11 16:36:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dfed725e2c Fix memory leak in exec statement with code object -- the None returned
by PyEval_EvalCode() on success was never DECREF'ed.

Fix by Bernhard Herzog.

Guido van Rossum 3120bc3888 v1.1; added attribution to Neale Pickett. 1997-11-08 07:16:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 368e06b6f0 Some restructuring.
All geometry manager methods that apply to a master widget instead of
to a slave widget have been moved to the Misc class, which is
inherited by all of Tk(), Toplevel() and Widget().  They have been
renamed to have their geometry manager name as a prefix,
e.g. pack_propagate(); the short names can still be used where
ambiguities are resolved so that pack has priority over place has
priority over grid (since this was the old rule).

Also, the method definitions in the Pack, Place and Grid classes now
all have their respective geometry manager name as a prefix
(e.g. pack_configure); the shorter names are aliases defined through
assignment.

A similar renaming has been done for all config() methods found
elsewhere; these have been renamed to configure() with config being
the alias (instead of the other way around).  (This may not make much
of a difference but the official Tk command name is now 'configure'
and it may help in debugging tracebacks.)

Finally, a new base class BaseWidget has been introduced, which
implements the methods common between Widget and Toplevel (the
difference between those two classes is that Toplevel has a different
__init__() but also that Toplevel doesn't inherit from Pack, Place or
Grid.

Guido van Rossum f51815426e Fix problem discovered by Barry: if you hit ^C to
sys.stdin.readline(), you get a fatal error (no current thread).  This
is because there was a call to PyErr_CheckSignals() while there was no
current thread.  I wonder how many more of these we find...  I bnetter
go hunting for PyErr_CheckSignals() now...

Guido van Rossum c1189eb524 Separate out a function pystones(loops=LOOPS) which runs the benchmark
and returns a (benchtime, stones) tuple.  The main() function now
calls this and prints the report.  Fred Drake's code.

Barry Warsaw b8f1166922 (python-font-lock-keywords): Pick up block introducing keywords with
immediately following colons.  Sjoerd noticed this one too.  Here's a
nonsense.py file that flexes all the font-lock keyword combinations.

class A:
    class B(A):
	pass
    def __init__(self):
	if i == 2 and j == 3 or k == 4:
	    import stuff
	    from otherstuff import cool
	    for i in range(cool.count):
		if i == j:
		    break
		elif j == 1:
		    continue
		print i
	    else:
		return not i
	elif q is not i:
	    return lambda x: x + 1
	else:
	    try:
		try:
		    raise stuff.error
		except stuff.error, v:
		    print v
		except:
		    global q
	    finally:
		while q > 0:
		    q = q - 1
		assert q == 0

Barry Warsaw ef3c891773 (python-font-lock-keywords): Fix for consecutive keyword font locking,

Barry Warsaw 5e21cb0bfb (py-emacs-features): Test for working make-temp-name, which is broken
on NTEmacs 19.34.6.

(py-serial-number): New variable.

(py-execute-region): If make-temp-name is broken, simply append a
serial number to the string "python-" to get a temporary file name.
It's possible concurrent NTEmacs can step on each others toes, but it
makes no sense to further coddle a busted NTEmacs.
