* Fix a few problems with the _Printer class and the license variable.Guido van Rossum2000-10-031-23/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. repr(license) will no longer print to stdout and read from stdin; you have to use license(). `license` is a short message explaining this. 2. Use lazy initialization so that startup isn't slowed down by the search for the LICENSE file. 3. repr(license) actually returns the desired string, rather than printing to stdout and returning ''. (Why didn't we think of this before?) 4. Use the pythonlabs license URL as the license fallback instead of the CNRI license handle.
* Convert all entries on sys.path to absolute paths, and also update theFred Drake2000-09-281-8/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | __file__ attributes of already-imported modules to be absolute. This helps robustify the interpreter against os.chdir() calls from the application. Only remove setdefaultencoding() from sys if it exists; if this module is run as a script (since there is a _test() function that gets run), it broke because the script attempts to remove it again after the import of site has already done so. This allows the module to be run as a script again. makepath(): New function, standardizes all pathname normalization in one place.
* sys.setdefaultencoding() should only be called in case the standardMarc-André Lemburg2000-09-181-2/+3
| | | | | | | | default encoding ("ascii") is changed. This safes quite a few cycles during startup since the first call to .setdefaultencoding() will initialize the codec registry and the encodings package. See python-dev for a discussion (Subject: "[Python-Dev] [comp.lang.python] sys.setdefaultencoding (2.0b1)").

* Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:Marc-André Lemburg2000-06-071-2/+37
| | | | | | | | | | Added support to set the default encoding of strings at startup time to the values defined by the C locale. The sys.setdefaultencoding() API is deleted after having set up the encoding, so that user code cannot subsequentely change the setting. This effectively means that only site.py may alter the default setting.
