f9bfdd8 Patch [ 983775 ] Allow bdist_wininst to install for non-admin users to address bugs: [ 555812 ] installing extension w/o admin rights [ 555810 ] removing extensions without admin rights * When enumerating the Python versions found, also remember the HKEY they were found under. * When installing, if Python was installed under HKCU, we will too. If Python was installed under HKLM, we check the permissions of the current user, and install where we can. * The "root" key we use is a global variable - all registry setting and delete functions use this global rather than a hardcoded HKLM. * A new entry is written to the install log, indicating the key we used. Uninstallation is based on this key. * 'tempnam()' is used rather than 'tmpnam()' - 'tmpnam' creates a temp file on the root of the current drive, and if this is readonly would explain the 'freopen' errors occasionally reported. 'tempnam' creates the temp file in the %TEMP% directory. 02 July 2004, 23:53:16 UTC
59ad456 Add tests that check the result of calendar.monthcalendar() for a set of corner cases. 02 July 2004, 19:00:09 UTC
0a4dd39 Make weak references subclassable: - weakref.ref and weakref.ReferenceType will become aliases for each other - weakref.ref will be a modern, new-style class with proper __new__ and __init__ methods - weakref.WeakValueDictionary will have a lighter memory footprint, using a new weakref.ref subclass to associate the key with the value, allowing us to have only a single object of overhead for each dictionary entry (currently, there are 3 objects of overhead per entry: a weakref to the value, a weakref to the dictionary, and a function object used as a weakref callback; the weakref to the dictionary could be avoided without this change) - a new macro, PyWeakref_CheckRefExact(), will be added - PyWeakref_CheckRef() will check for subclasses of weakref.ref This closes SF patch #983019. 02 July 2004, 18:57:45 UTC
8139140 Update info about the windows build. 02 July 2004, 08:58:46 UTC
04c673b SF #951851 fixed. 02 July 2004, 08:56:20 UTC
1df0461 When importing an extension on Windows, the code reads the PE 'import table' of the dll, to make sure that the dll really was build for the correct Python version. It does this by looking for an entry 'pythonXY.dll' (X.Y is the Python version number). The code now checks the size of the dll's import table before reading entries from it. Before this patch, the code crashed trying to read the import table when the size was zero (as in Win2k's wmi.dll, for example). Look for imports of 'pythonXY_d.dll' in a debug build instead of 'pythonXY.dll'. Fixes SF 951851: Crash when reading "import table" of certain windows dlls. Already backported to the 2.3 branch. 02 July 2004, 08:53:57 UTC
32b8f80 Fix for SF 982215: bdist_wininst - Next button not greyed out during file copy. Patch from Mark Hammond. Recompiled binary. Already packported to the 2.3 branch. 02 July 2004, 08:02:40 UTC
214b1c3 SF Bug #215126: Over restricted type checking on eval() function The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument. Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing down the normal case. My timings so no measurable impact. 02 July 2004, 06:41:07 UTC
78bace7 add cp866 row 02 July 2004, 02:14:34 UTC
d88471f Change signatures for arguments to "s" and friends to be the proper ``const char *`` instead of just ``char *``. Also added the mentioning of "const" in some places where it was left out even when the signature already stated the fact. Closes bug #980925. 01 July 2004, 20:55:42 UTC
83a6430 Committing Tim's patch for SF bug #983585: test_repr() fails with id() values that appear negative 01 July 2004, 20:28:47 UTC
ac1075a Document that encode() and decode() raise UnicodeError instead of ValueError. Add a note about error handling schemes added by PEP 293. 01 July 2004, 19:58:47 UTC
ecf7a52 link to the codecs page from the "".encode() description. 01 July 2004, 19:26:04 UTC
d7cc1bd Fix [ 924301 ] A leak case with cmd.py & readline & exception by ensuring that the readline completion function is always reset even in the case of an exception being raised. As a bonus, this makes the documentation for pre & postloop accurate again. 01 July 2004, 14:52:10 UTC
1f34eb1 fix small consistency nit 01 July 2004, 14:28:36 UTC
1b89656 add omitted markup 01 July 2004, 14:26:31 UTC

93b4b88 [Patch #974633] Check PyObject_MALLOC return for error 29 June 2004, 14:03:04 UTC
6d3a0d2 [Bug #948970] Add PyExc_* symbols to index. (I ran this through texcheck, but don't have LaTeX installed on this machine and therefore haven't verified that the changes are accepted by LaTeX.) 29 June 2004, 13:52:14 UTC
7dd8fda [Bug #978556] Update SHA spec URL; bugfix candidate 29 June 2004, 13:35:01 UTC
08c08bb [Bug #912845] urllib2 only checks for a 200 return code, but 206 is also legal if a Range: header was supplied. (Actually, should the first 'if' statement be modified to allow any 2xx status code?) 29 June 2004, 13:19:19 UTC
31352c5 Remove unused import. (If it's there for some deep, dark reason, it should have been commented.) 29 June 2004, 13:17:29 UTC
bd3200f Add test case for bug #912845: requesting an HTTP byte range doesn't work 29 June 2004, 13:15:46 UTC

a031a08 Add a missing space. 29 June 2004, 04:14:02 UTC
46d4ff2 Fix stupid mistake of forgetting to mention that the fix for bug #981299 entailed editing the urlparse module. 29 June 2004, 04:08:23 UTC
fbac294 rsync is now a recognized protocol that uses "netloc" (i.e. specifies a network location) in its addressing. Closes bug #981299. 29 June 2004, 04:02:40 UTC
289e4cb Changed applicable use of ``char *`` declarations that are passed into PyArg_ParseTuple() to ``const char *`` to match the recommendation made in section 1.3 and to support better coding habits. Section 1.8 ("Keyword Parameters for Extension Functions") and it's coding example were not touched since it is stems from an accredited source and thus did not want to step on anyone's toes. 29 June 2004, 03:48:23 UTC
93d1b2c Add readme.txt 28 June 2004, 15:24:23 UTC
3b04ce8 Patch from Mark Hammond to fix a test error. Now runs without exception on WinME/98. 28 June 2004, 06:57:19 UTC
19699a9 Adds support for DB.pget and DBCursor.pget methods. Based on a patch supplied by Ian Ward <ian@arevco.ca> on the pybsddb mailing list 2004-03-26. 28 June 2004, 04:06:49 UTC
31c5065 Add weakref support to all bsddb.db objects. Make DBTxn objects automatically call abort() in their destructor if not yet finalized and raise a RuntimeWarning to that effect. 28 June 2004, 01:20:40 UTC
11b91a0 Added socket.getservbyport(), and make its second argument and that of getservbyname() optional. Update the tests and the docs. 28 June 2004, 00:50:43 UTC
1ed5705 Add missing backslash for PyDateTimeAPI->Delta_FromDelta() macro. 28 June 2004, 00:48:30 UTC
589c6ab raise the module minor version. 27 June 2004, 23:36:37 UTC
dc5af70 SF patch / bug #967763 Fix memory leaks revealed by valgrind and ensuing code inspection. In the existing test suite valgrind revealed two memory leaks (DB_get and DBC_set_range). Code inspection revealed that there were many other potential similar leaks (many on odd code error paths such as passing something other than a DBTxn object for a txn= parameter or in the face of an out of memory error). The most common case that would cause a leak was when using recno or queue format databases with integer keys, sometimes only with an exception exit. 27 June 2004, 23:32:34 UTC
c2b151c Add code for a range function that uses generators. Cleaned up existing code by abstracting code to parse arguments. Also removed any unneeded operations (such as calling 'int' on a division when using floor division also works). Fixed a bug where the values returned by OldStyleRange could be short by one value. Added more documentation. Testing code also has a basic sanity check. 27 June 2004, 23:17:35 UTC
a6b3caa Fix SF bug # 897820 - we can no longer use the DB_TRUNCATE flag when opening the DB to implement legacy interface flag='n' support as BerkeleyDB 4.2.52 no longer allows it in transaction protected environments. Do the os.unlink ourselves. 27 June 2004, 22:56:42 UTC
e7c0532 sizeof(char) is 1, by definition, so get rid of that expression in places it's just noise. 27 June 2004, 17:24:49 UTC
ef82d2f Patch #923098: Share interned strings in marshal. 27 June 2004, 16:51:46 UTC
8d97e33 Patch #966493: Cleanup generator/eval_frame exposure. 27 June 2004, 15:43:12 UTC
634893d Mention Py_RETURN_NONE when introducing the idiom of how to have a function return Py_None. 27 June 2004, 04:28:00 UTC
ebd9522 * Silence a test failure that resulted when test_site was run by regrtest.py after it ran test_frozen. This test was really only designed to be run immediately after startup. Afterwards, other modules could be loaded when had not been fixed-up by site.py Took the chicken way out and only tested those modules known to be imported by site.py. * Normalized whitespace. 27 June 2004, 03:02:18 UTC
a006c37 SF bug #980419: int left-shift causes memory leak 26 June 2004, 23:22:57 UTC
555a964 Clarify sentence at end of Intermezzo section stating that PyMODINIT_FUNC will be discussed later by saying it is the function return type of the sample code to make spotting it easier. 26 June 2004, 23:10:32 UTC
852f799 Install Barry's smtpd.py daemon. 26 June 2004, 22:29:42 UTC
5fad8bd remove debugging print 26 June 2004, 19:42:10 UTC
90e0153 Allow classes from other modules to be specified at startup. For example, using the postfixproxy module from Spambayes you might start smtpd up like smtpd.py -c spambayes.postfixproxy.SpambayesProxy :8025 :8026 26 June 2004, 19:18:49 UTC
616f4f6 Add a comment with implementation notes. 26 June 2004, 04:42:06 UTC
a7f56bc Get ceval.c to compile again by moving declarations before other statments. 26 June 2004, 04:34:33 UTC
f6af76d Modules/getpath.c now compiles properly under OS X when using the --disable-framework build; header file was protected in an #if using the wrong macro to check. Closes bug #978645. 26 June 2004, 04:03:06 UTC
d858a77 Massive performance improvement for C extension and builtin tracing code 25 June 2004, 23:31:06 UTC

2c9f889 add a couple of tests for the build_scripts command 21 June 2004, 16:15:22 UTC
9ddf40b SF patch 876130: add C API to datetime module, from Anthony Tuininga. The LaTeX is untested (well, so is the new API, for that matter). Note that I also changed NULL to get spelled consistently in concrete.tex. If that was a wrong thing to do, Fred should yell at me. 20 June 2004, 22:41:32 UTC
873a277 Patch #975885: print file name in err msg in quiet mode 20 June 2004, 20:59:56 UTC

1761a7c Use PyArg_UnpackTuple() where possible. 20 June 2004, 04:23:19 UTC
1b6f7a9 Bug 975996: Add _PyTime_DoubleToTimet to C API New include file timefuncs.h exports private API function _PyTime_DoubleToTimet() from timemodule.c. timemodule should export some other functions too (look for painful bits in datetimemodule.c). Added insane-argument checking to datetime's assorted fromtimestamp() and utcfromtimestamp() methods. Added insane-argument tests of these to test_datetime, and insane-argument tests for ctime(), localtime() and gmtime() to test_time. 20 June 2004, 02:50:16 UTC
1c3fa18 shutil.move() will raise an exception when trying to move a directory into itself. Closes bug #919012 . Thanks Johannes Gijsbers. 19 June 2004, 21:11:35 UTC
b46ed71 Add news item about raising ValueError when timemodule.c code that uses timestamps will lose precision thanks to time_t < double (bug #919012). 19 June 2004, 20:50:47 UTC
298c380 Raise ValueError when value being stored in a time_t variable will result in more than a second of precision. Primarily affects ctime, localtime, and gmtime. Closes bug #919012 thanks to Tim Peters' code. Tim suggests that the new funciton being introduced, _PyTime_DoubletoTimet(), should be added to the internal C API and then used in datetime where appropriate. Not being done now for lack of time. 19 June 2004, 20:48:43 UTC
cdc7923 Added normalization for Windows system name. Closes SF #945665. 19 June 2004, 17:17:00 UTC
84601f1 Change pydoc.stripid() be able to match against 64-bit addresses by having regex match from 6 to 16 characters. 19 June 2004, 01:22:48 UTC
c6c1f47 pydoc.stripid() is now case-insensitive for its regex to support platforms that have pointer addresses in uppercase. Closes bug #934282. Thanks Robin Becker. 19 June 2004, 01:02:51 UTC
2b2fe94 fix typo 18 June 2004, 21:28:28 UTC
4dbda47 If self.packages is None (this can happen, I saw it), return immediately (since None is not a sequence you can iterate over). 18 June 2004, 20:39:11 UTC
9e1bfe7 Disabling end-of-loop code not reached warning on SunPro 18 June 2004, 19:57:13 UTC

dd6d207 Fix an obvious typo (It *is* a typo, or not?) 18 June 2004, 17:31:23 UTC
4834039 When loading the Python dll to run the postinstall script, try to load it from the install directory (as reported by the registry) in case it is not found on the default Loadlibrary search path. Fixes SF 935091: bdist_winist post-install script fails on non-admin Python Already backported. 18 June 2004, 17:03:38 UTC
a42bc21 The 'distributing python modules' manual now has an index. 18 June 2004, 08:27:36 UTC
949f661 Fix typo - the module is named distutils.util. 18 June 2004, 06:55:28 UTC
