| | | | | | | | (the types come from different modules on different platforms). Added tests for pickling these types. May be a bugfix candidate.

* SF patch #460805 by Chris Gonnerman: Support for unsetenv()Guido van Rossum2001-10-191-2/+26
| | | | | | | | This adds unsetenv to posix, and uses it in the __delitem__ method of os.environ. (XXX Should we change the preferred name for putenv to setenv, for consistency?)

* Fix by Donn Cave for BeOS (SF #403642):Guido van Rossum2001-03-021-4/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | UNIX style fork/execve/wait are not fully compatible with thread support on BeOS. For Python, that means neither fork() from import nor import from a fork work reliably. os._execvpe() does the latter, importing tempfile to set up a tantalizing target for hackers. This patch replaces both the tempfile name generation and the exec that uses it, in case we're on BeOS. Need this for setup:distutils:execvp(); symptoms are random crashes and internal BeOS error messages about th name, in case we're on BeOS. It's an issue because setup.py + distutils calls os.execvp(); symptoms are random crashes during setup.py, and internal BeOS error messages about thread IDs.

* Spelling fixes supplied by Rob W. W. Hooft. All these are fixes in eitherThomas Wouters2000-07-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't"). There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
* Michael Hudson fixes a case where execv() is called (for a test) withGuido van Rossum2000-04-261-1/+1
| | | | | an empty argument list -- another patch he's checking in will make this illegal (the first argument should always be the program name).
* Michael Hudson:Guido van Rossum2000-04-251-1/+29
| | | | | | | | I think that after this patch, all objects in the os module (with names that don't start with "_") that can have docstrings, do, on Linux at least. Also fix a nit in one of my spawn* docstrings.
* Doc strings for the spawn* functions, by Michael Hudson.Guido van Rossum2000-04-211-0/+56
|
* Patch by Fred Gansevles.Guido van Rossum2000-04-041-9/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch solves 2 problems of the os module. 1) Bug ID #50 (case-mismatch wiht "environ.get(..,..)" and "del environ[..]") 2) os.environ.update (dict) doesn't propagate changes to the 'real' environment (i.e doesn't call putenv) This patches also has minor changes specific for 1.6a The string module isn't used anymore, instead the strings own methods are used.
* Actually, the previous batch's comment should have been different;Guido van Rossum2000-02-041-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | *this* set of patches is Ka-Ping's final sweep: The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries. A new docstring was added to formatter. The docstring for os.py was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.
* More trivial comment -> docstring transformations by Ka-Ping Yee,Guido van Rossum2000-02-041-18/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | who writes: Here is batch 2, as a big collection of CVS context diffs. Along with moving comments into docstrings, i've added a couple of missing docstrings and attempted to make sure more module docstrings begin with a one-line summary. I did not add docstrings to the methods in profile.py for fear of upsetting any careful optimizations there, though i did move class documentation into class docstrings. The convention i'm using is to leave credits/version/copyright type of stuff in # comments, and move the rest of the descriptive stuff about module usage into module docstrings. Hope this is okay.
* Oops. spawnl() and spawnle() should be implemented on Windows too.Guido van Rossum1999-11-021-7/+14
| | | | | Also added a comment that the 'p' variants (spawnvp() etc.) are *not* supported on Windows. (They could be by adding them to posixmodule.c)
* Checking in a bunch of spawn functions. These are only defined if weGuido van Rossum1999-11-021-2/+80
| | | | | | | | have fork and execv (and friends) but not spawnv. They operate exactly like the spawn functions on Windows. A limited set of needed constants is also defined (P_WAIT, P_NOWAIT etc.). Also add getenv() as a familiar alias for environ.get().

* As Finn Bock points out, _P_WAIT etc. don't have a leading underscoreGuido van Rossum1999-02-221-3/+1

* Special-case _P_WAIT etc. for NT.Guido van Rossum1999-02-011-4/+7

* Enable os.path as a mostly-normal submodule, including "from os.pathFred Drake1999-01-191-0/+2
| | | | import isfile" and "import os.path".
* Support case insensitive treatment of os.environ keys on Windows andGuido van Rossum1998-08-041-8/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | DOS (as well as OS/2). I presume that making a call to putenv() with a lowercase key will actually do the right thing. I know this is so on Windows/DOS, and I expect it is so OS/2 -- but the old OS/2 code didn't assume this. (I don't know if the person who provided the OS/2 patch was clueless or just didn't care about DOS and Windows.) Also ripped out the support for pickling -- as of 1.5, this is no longer needed to make pickling work.
* Add makedirs(), removedirs(), renames() -- ESR-inspired super-versionsGuido van Rossum1998-07-241-0/+63
| | | | | of mkdir(), rmdir() and rename() that make or remove intermediate directories as well.
* introduce a new platform-specific variable: os.linesep is theGuido van Rossum1998-05-221-0/+5

* Reindented according to new standard, without tabs.Guido van Rossum1997-12-051-117/+131
| | | | Also added one more os2 specific piece of code, by Jeff Rush.
* _Environ(): Added __getinitargs__() method so os.environ.copy() works,Barry Warsaw1997-12-011-0/+5
| | | | | | as does unpickling, as in: pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(os.environ)). Hope this is right! Don't shoot me Guido. :-)

* Write out the dynamic OS choice, to avoid exec statements.Guido van Rossum1997-08-291-51/+66
| | | | | Adding support for a new OS is now a bit more work, but I bet that 'dos' or 'nt' will cover most situations...
