| | | | | | | Added 'u' and 'u#' tags for PyArg_ParseTuple - these turn a PyUnicodeObject argument into a Py_UNICODE * buffer, or a Py_UNICODE * buffer plus a length with the '#'. Also added an analog to 'U' for Py_BuildValue.

* Eric Raymond:Guido van Rossum2000-05-011-2/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | (1) Added and documented the capability for shlex to handle lexical-level inclusion and a stack of input sources. Also, the input stream member is now documented, and the constructor takes an optional source-filename. The class provides facilities to generate error messages that track file and line number. (2) Add a convenience function to generate C-compiler style error leaders.
* Document the new additional signature for utime(). In addition to theBarry Warsaw2000-05-011-3/+6
| | | | | previous functionality utime(path, (atime, mtime)), now allowed is utime(path, None) which sets the file's times to the current time.
