* Patch supplied by Burton Radons for his own SF bug #487390: ModifyingGuido van Rossum2001-12-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | type.__module__ behavior. This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to put the correct description in a comment.
* SF patch #489173: Make os.spawnv not block the interpreter, fromTim Peters2001-12-071-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | Anthony Roach. Release the global interpreter lock around platform spawn calls. Bugfix candidate? Hard to say; I favor "yes, bugfix". These clearly *should* have been releasing the GIL all along, if for no other reason than compatibility with the similar os.system(). But it's possible some program out there is (a) multithreaded, (b) calling a spawn function with P_WAIT, and (c) relying on the spawn call to block all their threads until the spawned program completes. I think it's very unlikely anyone is doing that on purpose, but someone may be doing so by accident.

* SF patch #460805 by Chris Gonnerman: Support for unsetenv()Guido van Rossum2001-10-191-0/+34
| | | | | | | | 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?)

* SF patch #462296: Add attributes to os.stat results; by Nick Mathewson.Guido van Rossum2001-10-181-68/+178
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a big one, touching lots of files. Some of the platforms aren't tested yet. Briefly, this changes the return value of the os/posix functions stat(), fstat(), statvfs(), fstatvfs(), and the time functions localtime(), gmtime(), and strptime() from tuples into pseudo-sequences. When accessed as a sequence, they behave exactly as before. But they also have attributes like st_mtime or tm_year. The stat return value, moreover, has a few platform-specific attributes that are not available through the sequence interface (because everybody expects the sequence to have a fixed length, these couldn't be added there). If your platform's struct stat doesn't define st_blksize, st_blocks or st_rdev, they won't be accessible from Python either. (Still missing is a documentation update.)
* Shut up warnings for setgroups() on Linux -- you have to #includeGuido van Rossum2001-10-181-0/+5

* Enable large file support on Win32 systems.Tim Peters2001-09-061-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | Curious: the MS docs say stati64 etc are supported even on Win95, but Win95 doesn't support a filesystem that allows partitions > 2 Gb. test_largefile: This was opening its test file in text mode. I have no idea how that worked under Win64, but it sure needs binary mode on Win98. BTW, on Win98 test_largefile runs quickly (under a second).
* SF bug [#456252] Python should never stomp on [u]intptr_t.Tim Peters2001-08-291-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | pyport.h: typedef a new Py_intptr_t type. DELICATE ASSUMPTION: That HAVE_UINTPTR_T implies intptr_t is available as well as uintptr_t. If that turns out not to be true, things must get uglier (C99 wants both, so I think it's an assumption we're *likely* to get away with). thread_nt.h, PyThread_start_new_thread: MS _beginthread is documented as returning unsigned long; no idea why uintptr_t was being used. Others: Always use Py_[u]intptr_t, never [u]intptr_t directly.

| | | | | | | Also note that it isn't just Linux nice() that is broken: at least FreeBSD and BSDI also have this problem. os.nice() should probably just be emulated using getpriority()/setpriority(), if they are available, but I'll get to that later.
* Patch #439995 (slightly modified from the uploaded version):Thomas Wouters2001-07-111-1/+18
| | | | | | | Work around Linux's nonstandard nice() systemcall, which does not return the new priority. This closes SF bug #439990.

* Implemented new os.startfile function, unique to Windows, exposing aTim Peters2000-09-221-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | subset of Win32 ShellExecute's functionality. Guido wants this because IDLE's Help -> Docs function currently crashes his machine because of a conflict between his version of Norton AntiVirus (6.10.20) and MS's _popen. Docs for startfile are being mailed to Fred (or just read the docstring -- it tells the whole story). Changed webbrowser.py to use os.startfile instead of os.popen on Windows. Changed IDLE's EditorWindow.py to pass an absolute path for the docs (hardcoding ShellExecute's "directory" arg to "." as used to be done let IDLE work, but made the startfile command exceedingly obscure for other uses -- the MS docs are terrible, of course, & still not sure I understand it). Note that Windows Python must link with shell32.lib now! That's where ShellExecute lives.
