* News items for my recent checkinsJeremy Hylton2001-03-231-0/+16
|
* A small change to the C API for weakly-referencable types: Such typesFred Drake2001-03-221-0/+6
| | | | | | | | must now initialize the extra field used by the weak-ref machinery to NULL themselves, to avoid having to require PyObject_INIT() to check if the type supports weak references and do it there. This causes less work to be done for all objects (the type object does not need to be consulted to check for the Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_WEAKREFS bit).

* SF bug #131225: sys.winver is still '2.0' in python 2.1a2.Tim Peters2001-02-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SF patch #103683: Alternative dll version resources. Changes similar to the patch. MarkH should review. File version and Product version text strings now 2.1a2. 64-bit file and product version numbers are now PY_MAJOR_VERSION, PY_MINOR_VERSION, messy, PYTHON_API_VERSION where messy = PY_MICRO_VERSION*1000 + PY_RELEASE_LEVEL*10 + PY_RELEASE_SERIAL Updated company name to "Digital Creations 2". Copyright now lists Guido; "C in a circle" symbol used instead of (C). Comments added so this is less likely to get flubbed again, and #if/#error guys added to trigger if the version number manipulations above overflow.
* Fixed UnboundLocalError for nested scopesJeremy Hylton2001-02-051-0/+1

* Teach Windows build and installer about new _symtable module/DLL.Tim Peters2001-02-021-1/+4
|
* Fix spelling errors.Jeremy Hylton2001-02-021-7/+12
| | | | | | Add note about _symtable. Add note that 'from ... import *' restriction may go away -- and move the whole entry closer to the top, because it might bite people.
* Patch derived from Trent's 101162: a Python/C API testing framework.Tim Peters2001-02-021-2/+11

* Add item about nested scopes.Jeremy Hylton2001-02-011-6/+39
| | | | | Revise item about restriction on 'from ... import *'. It was in the wrong section and the section restriction was removed.
* Added comments about the weak reference support.Fred Drake2001-02-011-0/+6
|
* Change random.seed() so that it can get at the full range of possibleTim Peters2001-02-011-0/+10
| | | | | | | | internal states. Put the old .seed() (which could only get at about the square root of the # of possibilities) under the new name .whseed(), for bit-level compatibility with older versions. This occurred to me while reviewing effbot's book (he found himself stumbling over .seed() more than once there ...).
* Document the two changes to the mailbox.py module:Barry Warsaw2001-01-311-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | - All constructors grow an optional argument `factory' which is a callable used when new message instances are created by the next() methods. Defaults to the rfc822.Message class. - A new subclass of UnixMailbox is added, called PortableUnixMailbox. It's identical to UnixMailbox, but uses a more portable test for From_ delimiter lines. With PortableUnixMailbox, any line that starts with "From " is considered a delimiter (this should really check for two newlines before the F, but it doesn't.
* Docs for new Windows zlib build procedure.Tim Peters2001-01-311-1/+6

* add note about two kinds of illegal imports that are now checkedJeremy Hylton2001-01-301-0/+6

* Added news of function comparison and hashing by identityMoshe Zadka2001-01-291-0/+3
|
* SF bug #130306: statcache.py full of thread problems.Tim Peters2001-01-281-0/+1
| | | | Fixed the thread races. Function forget_dir was also utterly Unix-specific.
* SF bug http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=130242&group_id=5470Tim Peters2001-01-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | SF patch http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103453&group_id=5470 PyMember_Set of T_CHAR always raises exception. Unfortunately, this is a use of a C API function that Python itself never makes, so there's no .py test I can check in to verify this stays fixed. But the fault in the code is obvious, and Dave Cole's patch just as obviously fixes it.
* Added news about repr(string).Tim Peters2001-01-271-0/+8
