| | | | | | | | | | PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr(), PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilename(). Similar to PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename() and PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr(), but they allow to specify the exception type to raise. Available on Windows. See SF patch #576458.

* The Py_REF_DEBUG/COUNT_ALLOCS/Py_TRACE_REFS macro minefield: addedTim Peters2002-07-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | more trivial lexical helper macros so that uses of these guys expand to nothing at all when they're not enabled. This should help sub- standard compilers that can't do a good job of optimizing away the previous "(void)0" expressions. Py_DECREF: There's only one definition of this now. Yay! That was that last one in the family defined multiple times in an #ifdef maze. Py_FatalError(): Changed the char* signature to const char*. _Py_NegativeRefcount(): New helper function for the Py_REF_DEBUG expansion of Py_DECREF. Calling an external function cuts down on the volume of generated code. The previous inline expansion of abort() didn't work as intended on Windows (the program often kept going, and the error msg scrolled off the screen unseen). _Py_NegativeRefcount calls Py_FatalError instead, which captures our best knowledge of how to abort effectively across platforms.

* Added font-setting line (and associated comments) to the A4 version ofFred Drake2002-07-081-0/+12
| | | | | | | | this file; the lack of this was causing the A4 version of tutorial to use really bad Type 3 fonts instead of Type 1 fonts, which also bloated the file size substantially. I thought there was a SourceForge bug for this, but couldn't find it.
