2f7d035 Adjust to understand use of either single- or double-quotes to quote attribute values, and make the logic surrounding the platform annotations just a little easier to read. Also make the platform notes appear in the generated page; they were supposed to, but did not. 22 June 2001, 17:17:02 UTC
2c5ecda Fix & clean up the information about building Python with large file support for Linux. This closes SF bug #434975. 22 June 2001, 16:00:54 UTC
83eb8cc Separate the version number and release status information. 22 June 2001, 15:52:13 UTC
5107a51 Add support for the classdesc* environment and the \releaseinfo and \setreleaseinfo macros added to the CVS head. 22 June 2001, 15:51:28 UTC
9c573b0 Properly mark the availability of tempnam() and tmpnam(). 22 June 2001, 15:41:58 UTC
495739f Added documentation for PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename(). 21 June 2001, 18:56:49 UTC
257f7d0 Adjust the documents so that the copyright is at the front of the documents and the license statements are at the end. This is less annoying to readers. 21 June 2001, 18:52:50 UTC
a952658 Make sure 2.1.1 takes its proper place in the history of Python licenses. 21 June 2001, 18:51:11 UTC
7f29afb This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create branch 'release21-maint'. 21 June 2001, 18:51:11 UTC
bba4c8c Fix my own typo: protect the FLUSHO usage with "#ifdef FLUSHO", not "#ifndef FLUSHO". 18 June 2001, 21:05:04 UTC
eff2a98 Applying this to the 2.1.1 branch: Fix SF bug #433904 (Alex Martelli) - all s_* methods return None only. 18 June 2001, 12:34:31 UTC
bbdc66f Spell "#ifdef" as "#ifdef", not "#endif". 16 June 2001, 20:46:10 UTC
458004a Protect several more uses of constants with #ifdefs; these are necessary on (at least) SCO OpenServer 5. Fixes a non-SF-submitted bugreport by Michael Kent. 15 June 2001, 11:58:49 UTC
76ce2aa Fix an improperly placed comma. 14 June 2001, 13:57:49 UTC
23f8a04 Incorporating MAL's bugfix into the 2.1.1 branch: revision 1.53 date: 2001/06/12 16:13:51; author: lemburg; state: Exp; lines: +1 -1 Removed the Python version from the PYTHONHOMEHELP string. It was still set to python2.0 ... 12 June 2001, 16:29:12 UTC
b031d45 Add the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family of functions -- these are not available on traditional Mac OS platforms. Corrected the version annotations for the spawn*() functions and related constants; these were added in Python 1.6, not 1.5.2. 11 June 2001, 18:26:04 UTC
26cff90 Fixed parameter order for os.popen2(), os.popen3(), and os.popen(4). Added a reference to these functions and popen() from the "Process Management" section. Based on a suggestion from comp.lang.python. 11 June 2001, 15:22:23 UTC
fea0784 Protect the use of the VWERASE symbol by an #ifdef, it's apparently missing on (some versions of ?) AIX. 11 June 2001, 15:21:43 UTC
a623ca8 Merge in recent changes from development branch: add warning about being sure that code only runs once when using the module as both a module and a script. 11 June 2001, 14:57:07 UTC
ceea6fe Typo: "descrition" --> "description" Add reference to the documentation for the Python documentation markup. Fixed up a couple of descriptions. This closes SF bug #430627. 06 June 2001, 16:10:38 UTC
a9ce10f Add references to the documentation for the Python documentation markup. Suggested by the comments in SF bug #430627. 06 June 2001, 16:09:54 UTC
05f2920 Update a "Programmer's note" about lambda forms and scoping to reflect the availability of nested scoping in Python 2.1. Note that this is a slightly different patch than was applied to the trunk of the development for Python 2.2. 05 June 2001, 02:24:26 UTC
35a37f1 is -> if in rename description 04 June 2001, 15:30:41 UTC
9d26f81 Explained more differences between PyList_SetItem() and PyList_SET_ITEM(). In particular, the affect on existing list content was not sufficiently explained. This closes SF bug #429554. 03 June 2001, 03:16:04 UTC
3da898b Document os.getenv(). This closes SF bug #429059. 31 May 2001, 20:27:18 UTC
cba8e5b Some general cleanup of the threading module documentation, including fixing the reference to Thread.getDeamon() (should be isDaemon()). This closes SF bug #429070. 31 May 2001, 20:24:37 UTC
362612c expand __all__ to include a bunch of names that should have been there before. 31 May 2001, 18:03:22 UTC
ecf1b65 Users of PySequence_GET_FAST() should get the length of the sequence using PySequence_Size(), not PyObject_Size(): the later considers the mapping methods as well as the sequence methods, which is not needed here. Either should be equally fast in this case, but PySequence_Size() offers a better conceptual match. 29 May 2001, 18:53:11 UTC
f1760de readlink() description: Added note that the return value may be either absolute or relative. remove(), rename() descriptions: Give more information about the cross- platform behavior of these functions, so single-platform developers can be aware of the potential issues when writing portable code. This closes SF patch #426598. 29 May 2001, 18:14:26 UTC
b807180 Bring the notes on the relationship between __cmp__(), __eq__(), and __hash__() up to date (re: use of objects which define these methods as dictionary keys). This closes SF bug #427698. Migrated comments about supporting __contains__() and the use of the "in" operator from the development branch. 29 May 2001, 16:06:21 UTC
7d92f45 Fix typo reported in SF bug #427783. 29 May 2001, 15:45:01 UTC
0108b37 The parameter to the listen() method is not optional, but was marked as optional in the documentation. This closes SF bug #427985. 29 May 2001, 15:39:24 UTC
477bd2d _PyTuple_Resize: guard against PyTuple_New() returning NULL, using Tim's suggestion (modulo style). 29 May 2001, 08:05:01 UTC
fbed5be _PyTuple_Resize: take into account the empty tuple. There can be only one. Instead of raising a SystemError, just create a new tuple of the desired size. This fixes (at least) SF bug #420343. 28 May 2001, 13:04:33 UTC
d9289f0 Add a version annotation for splitdrive(); old, but as long as I managed to end up with the information, it is better recorded than lost. 25 May 2001, 16:21:22 UTC
2ff9e92 Backport Fred's checkin 1.3: Actually include a synopsis line for the ColorPicker module. 23 May 2001, 15:21:50 UTC
57ceb79 Backport Tim's checkin 2.84: SF bug #422121 Insecurities in dict comparison. Fixed a half dozen ways in which general dict comparison could crash Python (even cause Win98SE to reboot) in the presence of kay and/or value comparison routines that mutate the dict during dict comparison. 23 May 2001, 15:07:55 UTC
780843e Re-incarnate dead turd of old test_mutants output file. 23 May 2001, 14:56:36 UTC
44c69c9 Now that the backporting of test_mutants.py worked successfully (Barnevelder chickens work best!) adapt test_mutants to the absense of 'key in dict'. 23 May 2001, 14:55:54 UTC
9207ee5 Tim's test_mutants test, taken from revision 1.3 (unsure if I used the right dead chicken for CVS to make the connection... lets hope so.) 23 May 2001, 14:52:45 UTC
36e23e0 This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create branch 'release21-maint'. 23 May 2001, 14:52:45 UTC
1648e53 Net result of Tim's checkins to stropmodule.c (2.78, 2.79, 2.80, 2.81), stringobject.c (2.114, 2.115) and test_strop.py (1.11, 1.12). Fixes 'replace' behaviour on systems on which 'malloc(0)' returns NULL (together with previous checkins) and re-synchs the string-operation code in stringobject.c and stropmodule.c, with the exception of 'replace', which has the old semantics in stropmodule but the new semantics in stringobjects. 23 May 2001, 14:38:53 UTC
49a8bec *** empty log message *** 23 May 2001, 13:36:37 UTC
e98c5fd Backport Jeremy's checkins (frameobject.c:2.50, test_scope.py:1.16, test_scope:1.8): SF patch 419176 from MvL; fixed bug 418977 Two errors in dict_to_map() helper used by PyFrame_LocalsToFast(). 23 May 2001, 13:26:29 UTC
6db1419 Backport Tim's checkin 2.130: SF bug #422108 - Error in rich comparisons. Fix a bad (albeit unlikely) return value in try_rich_to_3way_compare(). Also document do_cmp()'s return values. 23 May 2001, 13:18:30 UTC
5bc57be Backport MAL's checkin 1.32: Fix for bug #417030: "print '%*s' fails for unicode string" 23 May 2001, 13:15:03 UTC
140e1d3 Backport MAL's checkin 2.105: Fix for bug #417030: "print '%*s' fails for unicode string" 23 May 2001, 13:14:24 UTC
c922bfa Net result of Guido's checkins of object.c (2.125 and 2.126), classobject.c (2.128) and stringobject.c (2.105), which reworks PyObject_Str() and PyObject_Repr() so strings and instances aren't special-cased, and print >> file, instance works like expected in all cases. 23 May 2001, 13:03:13 UTC
a29e4f3 Backport of Tim's checkin 2.177: SF bug #417093: Case sensitive import: dir and .py file w/ same name Directory containing Spam.py spam/__init__.py Then "import Spam" caused a SystemError, because code checking for the existence of "Spam/__init__.py" finds it on a case-insensitive filesystem, but then bails because the directory it finds it in doesn't match case, and then old code assumed that was still an error even though it isn't anymore. Changed the code to just continue looking in this case (instead of calling it an error). So import Spam and import spam both work now. 23 May 2001, 12:51:22 UTC
db9486f Backport Tim's checkin 2.199: Fix buglet reported on c.l.py: map(fnc, file.xreadlines()) blows up. Took away map()'s insistence that sequences support __len__, and cleaned up the convoluted code that made it *look* like it really cared about __len__ (in fact the old ->len field was only *used* as a flag bit, as the main loop only looked at its sign bit, setting the field to -1 when IndexError got raised; renamed the field to ->saw_IndexError instead). 23 May 2001, 12:46:45 UTC
930874e Backport of Tim's checkin 2.88: A different approach to the problem reported in Patch #419651: Metrowerks on Mac adds 0x itself C std says %#x and %#X conversion of 0 do not add the 0x/0X base marker. Metrowerks apparently does. Mark Favas reported the same bug under a Compaq compiler on Tru64 Unix, but no other libc broken in this respect is known (known to be OK under MSVC and gcc). So just try the damn thing at runtime and see what the platform does. Note that we've always had bugs here, but never knew it before because a relevant test case didn't exist before 2.1. 23 May 2001, 12:31:25 UTC
4a11bb3 Backport Tim's checkin 2.104: A different approach to the problem reported in Patch #419651: Metrowerks on Mac adds 0x itself C std says %#x and %#X conversion of 0 do not add the 0x/0X base marker. Metrowerks apparently does. Mark Favas reported the same bug under a Compaq compiler on Tru64 Unix, but no other libc broken in this respect is known (known to be OK under MSVC and gcc).

Note that we've always had bugs here, but never knew it before because a relevant test case didn't exist before 2.1. 23 May 2001, 12:30:59 UTC
ed53d87 Backport Jeremy's checkin 1.7: Fix 2.1 nested scopes crash reported by Evan Simpson The new test case demonstrates the bug. Be more careful in symtable_resolve_free() to add a var to cells or frees only if it won't be added under some other rule. XXX Add new assertion that will catch this bug. 23 May 2001, 12:15:57 UTC
7730735 Backport Jeremy's checkin 1.15: Fix 2.1 nested scopes crash reported by Evan Simpson The new test case demonstrates the bug. Be more careful in symtable_resolve_free() to add a var to cells or frees only if it won't be added under some other rule. XXX Add new assertion that will catch this bug. 23 May 2001, 12:15:17 UTC
f7844d0 Backport Jeremy's checkin 2.198: Fix 2.1 nested scopes crash reported by Evan Simpson The new test case demonstrates the bug. Be more careful in symtable_resolve_free() to add a var to cells or frees only if it won't be added under some other rule. XXX Add new assertion that will catch this bug. 23 May 2001, 12:11:35 UTC
50d9fb2 Backport Fred's checkin 2.29: Correct the sense of a couple of conditional compilations -- used #ifndef when #ifdef was needed. This closes (reallu!) SF bug #417418. 23 May 2001, 11:32:06 UTC
cfe4df1 Add a list of mapping interface methods which are not supported by rfc822.Message (per Barry's comments). 22 May 2001, 15:17:12 UTC
47237c7 Add some clarifications about the mapping interface presented by rfc822.Message objects, based on comments from Barry. 22 May 2001, 14:37:18 UTC
ecf8ca8 Update output to reflect additional precision produced by the repr() of floating point numbers in an interactive example. This closes SF bug #419434. 21 May 2001, 17:02:57 UTC
634f45a Add documentation for Py_Main() and PyThreadState_GetDict(). 21 May 2001, 15:58:54 UTC
cd2f28d Typo: "that" --> "than" This closes SF bug #425320. 21 May 2001, 15:04:28 UTC
38665ca Fix bug in smtplib example: the prompt said to end the message with ^D, but doing so raised EOFError. This makes it work as advertised and converts to string methods where reasonable. This closes SF bug #424776. 20 May 2001, 13:35:45 UTC
964aa1d Make sure we include all of Python's numeric types in the data model description, so that the introduction of complex is not a surprise. This closes SF bug #423429. 14 May 2001, 16:04:57 UTC
db669a9 the usual... 11 May 2001, 16:35:03 UTC
6963b15 Migrate the last few revisions from the head to the bugfix branch -- these have all been portability fixes and improving the consistency of how file descriptors and file objects are handled. 11 May 2001, 16:34:23 UTC
1135d3d Add a check for sys/modem.h, needed by termios on HP-UX. 11 May 2001, 16:21:06 UTC
cd7d2d0 Fix typo in weakref.proxy() documentation. This closes SF bug #423087. 10 May 2001, 17:23:10 UTC
90fe272 Remove all mentions of the strop module -- it has been pronounced Evil. (The string "strop" is found in the rexec documentation, but that should not be changed until strop is actually removed or rexec no longer allows it.) 10 May 2001, 15:13:39 UTC
879040a Fix typo reported by David Goodger. This closes SF patch #422383. 10 May 2001, 15:10:17 UTC
8ee94e6 Itamar Shtull-Trauring <python@itamarst.org>: Updates zipfile.ZipFile docs to mention the fact that you can create a ZipFile instance from an arbitrary file-like object. This closes patch #418011. 09 May 2001, 19:57:50 UTC
62648d1 Three uses of makesockaddr() used sockaddr buffers that had not be cleared; this could cause invalid paths to be returned for AF_UNIX sockets on some platforms (including FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE), appearantly because there is no assurance that the address will be nul-terminated when filled in by the kernel. This closes SF bug #416573. 09 May 2001, 19:13:40 UTC
2db09cc Update build notes for Mac OS X 10.0. This closes SF bug #416530. 09 May 2001, 18:13:29 UTC
4a64db9 Fix the operator precedence table: exponentiation binds tighter than negation. This closes SF bug #421999. 09 May 2001, 16:53:19 UTC
cf26a46 Update the directory names to match changes at SourceForge. 09 May 2001, 16:26:36 UTC
b1c3c9e Work around limitations of the module synopsis table generation to avoid leaking LaTeX2HTML's internal string munging. This fixes SF bug #420399. 09 May 2001, 15:52:56 UTC
ecf6f59 Job.build_html(): Be more robust in ensuring about.html exists; copying the right HTML file to the name about.html is needed even if the --numeric option was not given -- some other name may have been assigned due to some non-determinism in the algorithm use to perform name allocation. ;-( This closes the "About..." portion of SF bug #420216. 09 May 2001, 04:04:11 UTC
c117d1a There is no IMAP class in the imaplib module; the class is IMAP4. There is no imap module; refer to imaplib instead, since it exists. Move the "See Also:" section in front of the sub-sections, for consistency with other portions of the library reference. This closes the library reference portion of SF bug #420216. 09 May 2001, 03:57:01 UTC
c6cddfa Note that when inplace=1 existing backup files will be removed silently. Closes SF bug #420230. 09 May 2001, 03:26:11 UTC
f45d8c8 Make the license GPL-compatible. 04 May 2001, 18:55:39 UTC
41a3966 The weakref support in PyObject_InitVar() as well; this should have come out at the same time as it did from PyObject_Init() . 03 May 2001, 20:04:49 UTC
03d8554 Remove unnecessary intialization for the case of weakly-referencable objects; the code necessary to accomplish this is simpler and faster if confined to the object implementations, so we only do this there. This causes no behaviorial changes beyond a (very slight) speedup. 03 May 2001, 19:45:34 UTC
1541e78 Correct two floating-point representations printed by the interpreter in interactive examples. Error noted by Dinu Gherman. 25 April 2001, 20:59:47 UTC
e9ecb6f Update publish-to-SourceForge scripts to automatically determine if the branch is the head (development) branch or a maintenance brach, and use the appropriate target directory for each. 22 April 2001, 06:19:29 UTC
1d0b183 Only document <file>.xreadlines() once; added version annotation. This closes SF bug #417943 (in the maintenance branch). 22 April 2001, 01:58:00 UTC
a3d6ad8 Fix a number of minor markup errors. 21 April 2001, 05:56:39 UTC
90a012b The (fairly recent) \textasciicircum is not supported by LaTeX2HTML; add support for it here. 21 April 2001, 05:56:28 UTC
8d84e0d Add versioning notes: many of the signatures changed to allow the time used to be omitted (meaning use the current time) as of Python 2.1. Users who need cross-version portability need to know things like this. 19 April 2001, 04:55:57 UTC
10f039b Cut-&-paste-o noted by Wolfgang Teschner: decompressobj() returns *DE*compression objects, not compression objects! 18 April 2001, 20:17:23 UTC
76aee9f Add description of the "explanation" optional parameter added to the \versionadded macro. I originally thought this should not be merged into the 2.1 maintenance branch, but reconsidered: documentation changes may actually *use* the new version of the markup, so the lack of this markup variant can reasonably be considered a bug. 18 April 2001, 17:32:45 UTC
ad1ecbe \versionadded: Add support for including an explanatory note along with the versioning information, similar to \versionchanged. 18 April 2001, 17:30:26 UTC
a712f02 Added support for optional explanation parameter to the \versionadded macro. Refactored do_cmd_versionadded() and do_cmd_versionchanged() to do most of the work in a helper function, with the do_cmd_*() wrappers just supplying a portion of the replacement text. 18 April 2001, 17:29:14 UTC
41c71e6 Suggestion from Keith Briggs: refer to RE objects consistently instead of introducing a new term ("regex") without defining it. 18 April 2001, 17:27:10 UTC
4d99ab4 Update version numbers for the maintenance branch of the documentation. 18 April 2001, 05:24:30 UTC
6a0df4f Make a number of small clarifications and correct a whole bunch of typos, all reported by Bruce Smith. 18 April 2001, 05:14:32 UTC
d51dd03 Add note about the version in which GetoptError was added -- this can bite people interested in 1.5.2 compatibility. 18 April 2001, 03:27:13 UTC
9e0595e Set the version number to 2.1.1a1. This checkin inaugurates the release21-maint branch. 17 April 2001, 15:19:29 UTC
a839747 This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create branch 'release21-maint'. 17 April 2001, 15:19:29 UTC
2fb17ba This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag 'release21'. 16 April 2001, 18:46:45 UTC
ffe13be Noted what's new in 2.1 (final). Hopefully this is the last checkin for 2.1! 16 April 2001, 18:46:45 UTC
5030cf1 Fix three PyChecker-detected gotchas. Import OPT_ symbols from _symtable. Define has_exec() and has_import_star(). 16 April 2001, 18:43:18 UTC
