* SF patch #461781 by Chris Lawrence: os.path.realpath - Resolve symlinks:Guido van Rossum2001-09-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once upon a time, I put together a little function that tries to find the canonical filename for a given pathname on POSIX. I've finally gotten around to turning it into a proper patch with documentation. On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are encountered in the path. Example: >>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X') '/usr/X11R6/bin/X'

* SF patch #461413 (Gerhard Häring): Add STARTTLS feature to smtplibGuido van Rossum2001-09-141-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the features from RFC 2487 (Secure SMTP over TLS) to the smtplib module: - A starttls() function - Wrapper classes that simulate enough of sockets and files for smtplib, but really wrap a SSLObject - reset the list of known SMTP extensions at each call of ehlo(). This should have been the case anyway.
* Admit that we'll never add the args for a "call" event to the profileFred Drake2001-09-131-8/+9
