* Eliminate the deprecated option to return None instead of a tuple of ↵Raymond Hettinger2004-12-071-0/+6

* Change code in setup.py for parsing LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS to use optparseBrett Cannon2004-12-071-0/+2
| | | | | instead of getopt. Required making use of gettext._ as optional (optparse changed OK'ed by Greg Ward in private email).
* setup.py now uses the library directories specified in LDFLAGS (``-L``Brett Cannon2004-12-071-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | directories) and the include directories specified in CPPFLAGS (``-I`` directories) for compiling the extension modules. This has led to the core being compiled with the values in the shell's CPPFLAGS. It has also removed the need for special casing to use Fink and DarwinPorts under darwin since the needed directories can now be specified in LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS (e.g., DarwinPorts users can now do ``LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib; CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include; ./configure`` for everything to work properly). Parsing the values in the environment variables is done with getopt. While optparse would have been a nicer solution it cannot be used because of dependency issues at execution time; optparse uses gettext which uses struct which will not have been compiled when the code is imported. If optparse ever makes its importation of gettext optional by catching ImportError and setting _() to an identity function then it can be used.

* SF bug 1065388: calendar day/month name lookup too slowTim Peters2004-11-131-0/+11
| | | | | | __getitem__() methods: compute only the new spellings needed to satisfy the given indexing object. This is purely an optimization (it should have no effect on visible semantics).
* test_doctest.py test_pdb_set_trace_nested(): A new test from Jim FultonTim Peters2004-11-081-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | showing that doctest's pdb.set_trace() support was dramatically broken. doctest.py _OutputRedirectingPdb.trace_dispatch(): Return a local trace function instead of (implicitly) None. Else interaction with pdb was bizarre, noticing only 'call' events. Amazingly, the existing set_trace() tests didn't care.
* SF bug 1061968: threads: segfault or Py_FatalError at exitTim Peters2004-11-081-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PyGILState_Ensure(): The fix in 2.4a3 for bug 1010677 reintroduced thread shutdown race bug 225673. Repaired by (once again) ensuring the GIL is held whenever deleting a thread state. Alas, there's no useful test case for this shy bug. Four years ago, only Guido could provoke it, on his box, and today only Armin can provoke it on his box. I've never been able to provoke it (but not for lack of trying!). This is a critical fix for 2.3.5 too, since the fix for 1010677 got backported there already and so also reintroduced 225673. I don't intend to backport this fix. For whoever (if anyone) does, there are other thread fixes in 2.4 that need backporting too, and I bet they need to happen first for this patch to apply cleanly.

* SF 1055820: weakref callback vs gc vs threadsTim Peters2004-10-301-0/+11
| | | | | | | | In cyclic gc, clear weakrefs to unreachable objects before allowing any Python code (weakref callbacks or __del__ methods) to run. This is a critical bugfix, affecting all versions of Python since weakrefs were introduced. I'll backport to 2.3.
