* 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.

* 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

| | | | | 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

* SF bug 130030: Claim of bad betavariate algorithm.Tim Peters2001-01-261-1/+2

* Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initializationTim Peters2001-01-251-5/+10
| | | | | | | got broken). Also added new method .jumpahead(N). This finally gives us a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently in multithreaded programs (although it requires the user to use the new machinery!).
* Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all theTim Peters2001-01-251-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | functionality of, whrandom.py. Also closes all the "XXX" todos in random.py. New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and setstate(). All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden instance. Killed all unintended exports. Updated the docs. FRED: The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags. Please review critically. GUIDO: See email. I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I think it should be.
