Guido van Rossum b1b3096a54 Moved socket, select, unicodedata to their own PYD. This should
reduce the size of python16.dll to almost its 1.5.2 size, and remove
dependencies on winsock unless sockets are actually used.

Note that soundex is simply no longer supported.

Fred Drake 8b3ce9e099 But don't do the funny \UNICODE macro; we're trying to get away from
those markups!  <with-mixed-feelings>

in the mimetools documentation.
Suggested by Skip Montanaro <skip@mojam.com>.

Guido van Rossum 9e896b37c7 Marc-Andre's third try at this bulk patch seems to work (except that
his copy of test_contains.py seems to be broken -- the lines he
deleted were already absent).  Checkin messages:


New Unicode support for int(), float(), complex() and long().

- new APIs PyInt_FromUnicode() and PyLong_FromUnicode()
- added support for Unicode to PyFloat_FromString()
- new encoding API PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() which converts
  Unicode to a decimal char* string (used in the above new
  APIs)
- shortcuts for calls like int(<int object>) and float(<float obj>)
- tests for all of the above

Unicode compares and contains checks:
- comparing Unicode and non-string types now works; TypeErrors
  are masked, all other errors such as ValueError during
  Unicode coercion are passed through (note that PyUnicode_Compare
  does not implement the masking -- PyObject_Compare does this)
- contains now works for non-string types too; TypeErrors are
  masked and 0 returned; all other errors are passed through

Better testing support for the standard codecs.

Misc minor enhancements, such as an alias dbcs for the mbcs codec.

Changes:
- PyLong_FromString() now applies the same error checks as
  does PyInt_FromString(): trailing garbage is reported
  as error and not longer silently ignored. The only characters
  which may be trailing the digits are 'L' and 'l' -- these
  are still silently ignored.
- string.ato?() now directly interface to int(), long() and
  float(). The error strings are now a little different, but
  the type still remains the same. These functions are now
  ready to get declared obsolete ;-)
- PyNumber_Int() now also does a check for embedded NULL chars
  in the input string; PyNumber_Long() already did this (and
  still does)

Followed by:

Looks like I've gone a step too far there... (and test_contains.py
seem to have a bug too).

I've changed back to reporting all errors in PyUnicode_Contains()
and added a few more test cases to test_contains.py (plus corrected
the join() NameError).

Guido van Rossum 457855a5f0 Forgot to save the project file -- this also reflects the use of
Tcl/Tk 8.2 instead of 8.3, because 8.3.0 often crashes on closing a
window.
2000-04-05 18:25:12 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a5b09373d8 Lots of cleanup things.
Added the bitmaps back, and added the wizard style program group
selection dialog.

Got rid of references to backup etc. inserted by the installer wizard
-- we don't use these.

Got rid of conditionals for Windows 3.1, ditto.

Changed version to 1.6a2.

Changed default install directory to "C:\Python16" (not really, but close).

Install only one copy of python16.lib.

Install the two MS DLLs (versioned) and python16.dll (unversioned) in
the system directory.

Install Tcl/Tk and expat in the DLLs directory.

Fred Drake d1a56f4235 Noted by Guido:
Fixed up descriptions of altzone and timezone not to refer to the
0th meridian, which doesn't exist.  Reference is now to UTC.

exit_thread().

Guido van Rossum 13c8c0272a Skip Montanaro submits a simple patch that makes encode() and decode()
recognize the '7bit' and '8bit' encodings, to simplify use.

Guido van Rossum 965fdae40e Patch by Fred Gansevles.
This patch solves 2 problems of the os module.
1) Bug ID #50 (case-mismatch wiht "environ.get(..,..)" and "del environ[..]")
2) os.environ.update (dict) doesn't propagate changes to the 'real'
   environment (i.e doesn't call putenv)

This patches also has minor changes specific for 1.6a
The string module isn't used anymore, instead the strings own methods are
used.
2000-04-04 19:50:04 +00:00
Fred Drake 56a87a0905 Patch from Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@iskon.hr>:
The bug is in mmap_read_line_method(), and its loop that searches for
newlines.  After the loop reaches EOF, eol is incremented and points
after the end of the memory.  This results in readline() method
sometimes picking up and returning a byte after the end of the string.
This is usually a bogus \0, but it could cause SIGSEGV if it's after
the end of the page).

The patch fixes the problem.  Also, it uses memchr() for finding a
character, which is in fact the "strnchr" the comment is asking for.
memchr() is already used in Python sources, so there should be no
portability problems.

Fred Drake 7d68690d8d Added notes about the eventual disappearance of two-parameter bind(),
connect(), and connect_ex().

I didn't make these deprecation notices since it was never a
documented feature.
2000-04-04 17:48:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b49dc75f51 Add warning that multi-arg connect() etc. are deprecated. 2000-04-04 15:09:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 527c9bd32a Put back multi-arg capability on connect/connect_ex/bind, for
backwards compatibility, and to avoid a revolution.

Guido van Rossum 1571a1e34b Since Thomas Wouters kept complaining that he wants access to the the
Unix From lines, change the UnixMailbox class so that _search_start()
positions the file *before* the Unix From line instead of after it;
change _search_end() to skip one line before looking for the next From
line.  The rfc822.Message class automatically recognizes these Unix
From lines and squirrels them away in the 'unixfrom' instance variable.

Greg Ward aebf706b4e Reorganization: ripped util.py to shreds, creating in the process:
- file_util.py: operations on single files
  - dir_util.py: operations on whole directories or directory trees
  - dep_util.py: simple timestamp-based dependency analysis
  - archive_util.py: creation of archive (tar, zip, ...) files
The functions left in util.py are miscellany that don't fit in any of the
new files.
2000-04-04 02:05:59 +00:00
Greg Ward fe6462c1f3 Reorganization: moved the Distribution class from core.py to dist.py, and
the Command class from core.py to cmd.py.  No other code needs changing
though; distutils.core still provides the Command and Distribution classes,
although indirectly now.
