they now have their own, complete, generated interface), and also
lots of development on the mactcp and macfs front

* Objects/moduleobject.c (module_dealloc): explicitly erase a
module's dictionary when the module object disappears -- this was
formerly done in import's doneimport()

object.c (from static in bltinmodule.c) since it is generally
useful (and I needed it :-); removed some unused vars

* Modules/regexmodule.c (reg_dealloc): free the compiled pattern
buffer -- plugs a memory leak
Sun Jan 22 01:44:01 1995 Guido van Rossum <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>
* Modules/signalmodule.c (sigcheck): renamed to PyErr_CheckSignals
-- signal checking was broken because of this!

making early exit due to memory error
* Objects/listobject.c, Include/{listobject.h,rename2.h}: added
reverselist, C interface to list.reverse().

Sat Jan 14 11:21:29 1995 Guido van Rossum <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>
* Python/modsupport.c (PyEval_CallMethod): changed method argument
name to methodname -- since method is also a typedef and some
compiler choke on this (e.g. HP) (Andrew Kuchling)
* Python/thread.c: added #include thread_nt.h (Mark Hammond)
* Demo/scripts/h2py.py: support $include or $INCLUDE path instead
of only using /usr/include (Mark Hammond)
* Python/ceval.c (eval_code/PRINT_EXPR): fix messed output when
x.__repr__() prints something and repr(x) is called at the prompt
========================================
==> Release 1.2 BETA 1 (12 Jan 1995) <==
========================================
Thu Jan 12 12:27:23 1995 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Python/pythonrun.c (initmain), Python/import.c
(exec_code_module): use getbuiltins(), not getbuiltindict() to
initialize new modules
* Python/ceval.c (getbuiltins): return getbuiltindict() instead of
NULL if no current frame
* Modules/cryptmodule.c: removed redundant include of modsupport.h
* Modules/signalmodule.c: remove unwanted trigraph from comment
* Modules/Setup.in: clarify status of dlmodule.c
* Objects/object.c (cmpobject): properly implement cmp() for class
instances
Wed Jan 11 10:56:12 1995 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* README: removed references to --with-svr4; added docs for
--without-gcc
* Modules/mathmodule.c: rearrange declarations somewhat
Tue Jan 10 11:34:23 1995 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Include/*.h, Python/getmtime.c, Modules/<several>.c: THE GREAT
RENAMING (inspired by Jun Hamano). One now either includes
"Python.h" and then uses new names only, or one includes
"allobjects.h" and uses old names. "rename1.h" no longer exists;
instead, "rename2.h" performs the reverse mapping.
* Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_filter): fix subtle refcount big
in filter() (Tim MacKenzie)
* Include/mymalloc.h, Modules/{Makefile.pre.in,config.c.in}:
change to make things palatable for C++ (Tim MacKenzie)
* Modules/socketmodule.c: only call hstrerror() if it exists
* Modules/tkintermodule.c: added interface to Tk_DoOneEvent() (R
Lindsay Todd)
* Objects/longobject.c (long_pow): some defensive programming
(Eric Siegerman)
* Objects/intobject.c (int_pow): fix memory leak in ternary pow()
(Eric Siegerman)
* Modules/posixmodule.c (posix_fdopen, posix_popen): add optional
argument to specify buffer size as for __builtin__.open(); also
make mode argument optional (default "r")
* Objects/classobject.c (instance_coerce): implement coercions
involving instances properly
* Objects/object.c, Python/bltinmodule.c: moved coerce() to
objects.c, where it belongs
* Doc/libfuncs.tex: added execfile(); reformulated eval() somewhat
* Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_{execfile,eval}): fix
globals/locals defaults to match the manual again; also allow None
to mean the same as the default
* Lib/nntplib.py: fix comments for list command (should be last,
first instead of first, last)
* Lib/test/test_grammar.py: fix exec test so presence of
__builtins__ doesn't break it
Mon Jan 9 14:20:16 1995 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Objects/{funcobject.c,methodobject.c,classobject.c}: don't
expose certain internals (e.g. __dict__) in restricted mode.
* Python/thread_pthread.h: Alpha OSF/1 fix
* Python/importdl.c (load_dynamic_module): removed bogus check for
reloading of dynamically loaded modules (tested uninitialized
local variable)
* Include/{frameobject.h,ceval.h,bltinmodule.h,rename1},
Python/{ceval.c,import.c,pythonrun.c,bltinmodule.c},
Object/frameobject.c: changed handling of builtins. Each frame
now has a pointer to the dictionary of builtins to be used in that
frame, initialized from __builtins__ in the globals passed to the
frame. Only run_node() and exec_code_module() initialize
__builtins__ to the dictionary of the real __builtin__ module.
Furthermore, a frame is in "restricted" mode if its builtins are
not the real __builtin__ module. In restricted mode, some other
modules and object types restrict their interfaces. Subtle
change: eval_code() no longer automatically fills in the default
globals; this must be done by the caller (who can then also
explicitly stick in the builtins if needed). bltinmodule.c no
longer exports {get,set}builtin() but instead exports
getbuiltindict(). ceval.c export getbuiltins() and
getrestricted() in analogy of getglobals().
* Include/sysmodule.h, Python/{sysmodule.c,ceval.c},
Doc/libsys.tex: change sys.check_interval Python variable into
Python function sys.setcheckinterval(interval) and C variable
sys_checkinterval
* Mac/macosmodule.c: use new getargs interface; add
{Get,Set}FileInfo
Sat Jan 7 09:40:24 1995 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Python/compile.c: support import A.B...Z; added doc strings to
modules, classes and function
* Python/ceval.c: use new instancebinop interface
* Python/bltinmodule.c: restructured coerce(), divmod(), pow() to
use new instancebinop interface
* Objects/classobject.c: added 5th (function) parameter to
instancebinop, to support things like Rational * float; added
documentation strings to classes and methods
* Objects/methodobject.c: changed drastically, the object now
contains a pointer to the struct methodlist (which must be
static); added attributes __name__, __doc__ and __self__
* Objects/funcobject.c: added __doc__ attribute (alias func_doc),
initialized from first constand in code object if it is a string,
else to None
* Objects/moduleobject.c: initialize __doc__ to None
* Objects/typeobject.c: added getattr(), supporting __doc__ and
__name__
* Objects/object.c: raise AttributeError, not TypeError for object
without attributes
* Python/modsupport.c, Include/modsupport.h: add doc string
parameter to initmodule3 (renamed from initmodule2); new
newmethodobject() interface
* Modules/signalmodule.c (initsignal): don't call
newmethodobject() directly -- rely on initmodule()
* Modules/newmodule.c: rationalize argument checking, redo
lay-out, add __doc__ strings
* Include/object.h: added tp_str (to implement str()), tp_doc, and
some dummy fields
* Include/methodobject.h: added ml_doc member to struct methodlist
and renamed ml_varargs to ml_flags; changed newmethodobject() to
take a struct methodlist * argument instead of individual parts;
got rid of ML_FREENAME again
* Include/funcobject.h: added func_doc struct member
* Include/classobject.h: added 5th (function) parameter to
instancebinop, to support things like Rational * float
* Grammar/Grammar: changed import to support NAME.NAME...NAME
* Python/importdl.c (load_dynamic_module): NT dlls have extension
.pyd, not .dll
Thu Jan 5 11:00:13 1995 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Demo/scripts/mboxconvert.py: invent Message-ID if none present
Wed Jan 4 18:23:09 1995 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Python/modsupport.c (initmodule2), Include/methodobject.h,
Objects/methodobject.c: introduced METH_FREENAME bit passed to
newmethodobject to indicate that if the object is freed the name
pointer must also be freed (this saves a long standing memory leak
in initmodule2)
* Modules/structmodule.c (struct_pack, struct_unpack): use memcpy
instead of double precision assignment (since a string isn't
always double-aligned, e.g. when debug fields are present in the
object header)
* Objects/floatobject.c (float_hash): changed a constant to avoid
float->long conversion overflow
* Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_pow): fix coerce() ref count
nightmare (core dumps on Linux)
* Python/pythonrun.c: call flushline() in print_error(), after
fetching the exception info, since flushline() can mask an
exception; move flushline() calls around so they are not between
the detection and printing of the exception
Tue Jan 3 12:55:28 1995 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Modules/config.c.in (getcopyright): Change copyright to include
1995

* Modules/Makefile.pre.in (sharedinstall): fix bug (sh can't loop
over empty list) when $(SHAREDMODS) is empty
* Python/errors.c: added hook for better mac error messages
* Python/pythonrun.c (run_script): removed extraneous fclose() in
case of .pyc file argument
* Include/{object.h,stringobject.h}: changed refcnt and sizes from
unsigned to int (i.e. signed)
* Objects/fileobject.c (newfileobject): use HAVE_FOPENRF instead
of USE_FOPENRF
* Lib/test/test_b1.py: test eval() and execfile() with globals,
locals arguments
* Lib/mhlib.py: added movemessage(), copymessage(), added copy
fallback for refilemessages(), and updated the docs

(thread_exit_thread): DECREF the frame returned by save_thread()
* Modules/md5module.c, Doc/libmd5.tex: renamed md5.md5() to md5.new()
Wed Dec 21 13:30:47 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Python/ceval.c (build_class): add hook for Donald Beaudry
Mon Dec 19 17:35:13 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Doc/libposixfile.tex: the fileopen function was erroneously
documented as openfile
Tue Dec 13 11:46:03 1994 Guido Van Rossum <guido@tesla>
* config.h.in, configure: rewritten *by* autoconf 2.0
* configure.in: parts rewritten for autoconf 2.0; strip spaces
from uname output for QNX; test for some new things like
ftruncate, truncate and va_list as array
* acconfig.h: some reordering to get things in alphabetical order;
added GETTIMEOFDAY_NO_TZ and VA_LIST_IS_ARRAY
* README: Added SCO notes
* Python/thread_solaris.h (start_new_thread): create new threads
with THR_DETACHED option instead of THR_NEW_LWP -- else there's a
limit to the number of threads you can create in total, ever, per
process

(still a massive leak left I think)
* Python/errors.c: don't declare strerror on NT
* Python/getargs.c (vgetargs[1]): fix for systems where va_list
is an array
* Python/compile.c: use fatal() instead of abort(); use
err_{fetch,restore}
* Python/ceval.c: move some (X)DECREF's around for improved
re-entrancy; call built-in __import__ to implement IMPORT_NAME;
use err_{fetch,restore}; fix call to __rshift__ in __lshift__;
check for string left arg before anything else in rem()

* configure.in, Modules/timemodule.c: on some systems,
gettimeofday() has no second argument
* Modules/socketmodule.c: if O_NDELAY undefined, use O_NONBLOCK
(for QNX); use gethostbyname_r if it exists (since it is
re-entrant); use h_error and hstrerror when they exist; other
changes for re-entrancy; make printable representation more
useful; cosmetic changes in argument lists; add gethostbyaddr()
* Modules/signalmodule.c: if NSIG undefined, use _SIGMAX + 1
* Modules/posixmodule.c: changes for direct/dirent dictated by
autoconf 2.0
* Modules/config.c.in: added standard built-in module "imp"

== ); changes to avoid re-entering the interpreter via DECREF
while the mapping object is being modified
* Several other places: similar
* errors.[ch]: new functions err_fetch and err_restore
fetch and restore all three exception related values (plus places
using these)
* Makefile.in (TESTPATH): Added ./Modules to test path so
dynamically loaded modules are found even if not yet installed
Wed Nov 16 14:19:01 1994 Guido Van Rossum <guido@tesla>
* Python/sysmodule.c (list_builtin_module_names): stop a leak
Mon Nov 14 13:21:45 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@tesla>

=================================
==> Release 1.1 (11 Oct 1994) <==
=================================

copyright notice (separate file)
Wed Oct 5 11:13:13 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

freeze script compiles it separately)
* Lib/os.py: add dummy import posixpath, for freeze script
* Python/marshal.c (r_object): plugged memory leak in reading of
code objects
* Modules/config.c.in (getpythonpath): always return malloc'ed

* Grammar/Grammar: got rid of history; changed some diagram
commands

* Python/{modsupport.c,getargs.c,Makefile.in},
Include/modsupport.h: moved getargs() to its own file and
re-implemented it entirely to support optional arguments, multiple
arguments without surrounding parentheses
(when called as newgetargs()), and better error messages
* Include/classobject.h, Objects/classobject.c,
Python/{ceval.c,bltinmodule.c}: entirely redone operator
overloading. The rules for class instances are now much more
relaxed than for other built-in types
(whose coerce must still return two objects of the same type)

change type of converter for "O&" to function returning int taking
an object* and a void* parameter; it should return 1 for success
or return 0 and set an exception for failure to convert
Wed Sep 14 14:08:44 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
* Include/Python.h: new header file for new naming scheme
* various modules: #include "Python.h" and remove most remporary
renaming hacks
* Lib/whrandom.py: if seed is (0,0,0), initialize from current
time; default seed's arguments to (0,0,0)
* Python/ceval.c (eval_code), Include/ceval.h: added registry of
pending functions (to be used by functions that are called
asynchronously, like UNIX signal handlers or Mac I/O completion
routines)
Wed Sep 14 11:05:36 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/libsys.tex (section{Built-in Module \sectcode{sys}}):
documented sys.check_interval
Tue Sep 13 21:35:19 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Import/pythonrun.h, Python/{import,pythonrun}.c,
mac/macsetfiletype.c: changes by Jack to execute .pyc file passed
as command line argument. On the Mac .pyc files are given a
special type so they can be double-clicked
* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_[r]find): change index range check
-- don't raise ValueError buit silently clip when it's out of
range (this is compatible with slicing)
Mon Sep 12 12:53:07 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Extensions/X11/Xmmodule.c: (Sjoerd): Implemented
Xm.OptionButtonGadget and Xm.OptionLabelGadget
* Modules/Setup.in: define PYTHONPATH using COREPYTHONPATH for
extensions; add -lm to math module definition

* Modules/makesetup: (Sjoerd): treat words beginning with a dollar
and not ending in a well-known extension as linker arguments
* Lib/urlparse.py: URL parser according to the latest Internet
draft
* README: added note about HP-UX
Sun Sep 11 12:12:28 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Misc/indent.pro: Steen's approximation of my C style as a GNU
indent profile
* Modules/{Setup.in,termios.c}: add Steen's termios; also
Lib/[pt]ty.py, Demo/scripts/script.py, Lib/irix5/TERMIOS.py
* Demo/scripts/h2py.py: merged in Steen Lumholt's changes to
handle #include. Now also handles one-argument macros.
* configure.in: use uname to decide how to create / link shared
libraries and to set $(MACHDEP) (machine dependent subdirectory of
Lib)
* Makefile.in: shared library support; added target sharedinstall
which move shared libraries into Lib/$(MACHDEP)
* Modules/{Makefile.pre.in,Setup.in,makesetup}: support shared
libraries. Had to re-engineer rule production in makesetup
because sed was dumping core on the script fed to it -- now the
rules are always appended to the end of the Makefile.
Fri Sep 9 11:35:28 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/uu.py: new module, does uuencode/uudecode (thanks to Lance)
* Grammar/Grammar: fewer #diagram:break hacks needed; removed
history from file
Thu Sep 8 10:24:41 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Parser/grammar1.c (finddfa): massive speed up by using direct
addressing instead of searching
Wed Sep 7 08:49:37 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Include/rename1.h: added PyArg_GetInt
* pythonrun.h: added Py_AtExit
* Doc/libsocket.tex, Modules/socketmodule.c: added Tommy
Burnette's setblocking() method
* Modules/signalmodule.c: adapted to new module style (Lance);
added {BGN,END}_SAVE around pause() call
* Objects/object.c (DELREF): must zap type pointer *before*
calling free() (or other destructor)
Sat Sep 3 14:12:38 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/{Setup.in,tkintermodule.c,tkappinit.c}: moved tkinter
into the main Modules directory, and its Lib and Demo
subdirectories into the main Lib and Demo directories. Moved
definition of STDWIN component and TK component of PYTHONPATH to
their respective sections so it's easier to remember to enable
them.
* Python/pythonrun.c (cleanup), Include/pythonrun.h: added
Py_AtExit() -- register cleanup functions for C modules
Tue Aug 30 10:53:50 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/getmtime.c: Remove mac specifics (Mac subdirectory has
its own version now)
* Modules/Setup.in: uses .c instead of .o now; added curses
* Modules/{rotormodule,syslogmodule}.c: new naming conventions
* Modules/cursesmodule.c: new, interface to curses
* Modules/makesetup: bugfix: add objects from sources to OBJS
* Modules/cursesmodule.c: new contribution from Lance
* Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_tuple): use pre-existing
listtuple(v) for lists
Mon Aug 29 15:41:02 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Various places: merged THINK C 6.0 and MPW 3.2 mods: Python 1.1
should build flawlessly on the Mac using either compiler
Fri Aug 26 10:18:05 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/tut.tex (subsection{Lambda Forms}): fix typo in lambda
example
Thu Aug 25 12:30:11 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/importall.py: obsolete.
* Lib/{compileall,py_compile}.py: new modules for compiling .py
files.
* Modules/timemodule.c (floattime), Objects/longobject.c
(dgetlongvalue): add (double) casts for the benefit of the SCO C
compiler
Tue Aug 23 00:52:32 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/Setup.*: removed all except Setup.in (huh? I thought
I'd done that already?!); disable gdbm by default
* Modules/makesetup: support C++ files now; these should be given
as file.C or file.cc or file.c++; C files can be given as file.c
(instead of file.o, which is still supported)
* configure.in, */Makefile*.in: OPT can now be specified in the
env at configure time and will then be put in all Makefiles as
default
* Modules/config.c.in: change mac specific things
* Python/import.c: add lost NT-specific code back in
* Parser/tokenizer.c: backup over illegal newline in string
literal (for "completeness" test)
* Include/node.h: make some fields short to save space during
parsing
* Modules/posixmodule.c: some more NT changes
* Doc/libtime.tex: get rid of references to millitime() and
millisleep(); document clock()
Mon Aug 22 10:53:59 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/linecache.py: don't crash on empty filename
* Lib/macpath.py: don't return trailing colon for dirname()
(XXX won't do for volume names -- but otherwise glob(':*:*.py')
loops forever)
* Lib/traceback.py: print SyntaxError correctly
* Modules/signalmodule.c: added pause().
* Python/pythonrun.c (print_error): added INCREF/DECREF pair --
the exception returned by a syntax error (when reported) would
contain an object with refcnt zero!
Fri Aug 19 15:35:44 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* */Makefile*.in: remove lib*.a before adding to it
* Lib/urllib.py: fix caching bug (by disabling the cache)
* Lib/sgi/flp.py: fix caching bug (always write the whole file to
the cache!)
* Doc/ref6.tex (section{Assignment statements}): added warning
about overlaps in lhs of assignment (e.g. "i, x[i] = 1, 2")
* Python/errors.c (err_clear): clear interpreter stack trace
Wed Aug 17 16:10:07 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Moved patchlevel.h from Python/ to Include/, moved all code from
version.c to config.c and removed version.c, and changed
Modules/Makefile(.pre.in) to add dependencies on $(MYLIBS) for
config.c (so the date in the version is always current). Also
changed the format of PATCHLEVEL: it is now a string containing
the complete version number, e.g. "1.1".
* Grammar/Grammar: Added #diagram:... comments for Kees Blom's
railroad diagram generator
* Doc/libstring.tex (section{Standard Module \sectcode{string}}):
removed references to {ato{f,i,l},index}_error
* Lib/string.py: find/rfind is now the main implementation and
index/rindex is a wrapper that raises index_error (which is now
always ValueError)
* Modules/stropmodule.c: implement find/rfind instead of
index/rindex (raising and catching an exception is much more
expensive than returning and testing -1)
* Lib/os.py: do fake "import posix" for freeze.py script
Tue Aug 16 23:58:30 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Parser/parsetok.c (parsetok): don't call strncpy(str, NULL, 0)
* Doc/libfuncs.tex (section{Built-in Functions}): added docs for
delattr()
* Python/bltinmodule.c: added delattr(x, 'attr'), equivalent to
del x.attr
Fri Aug 12 15:00:20 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/libfuncs.tex: don't use $math$ in description of pow(x,y,z);
describe tuple()
* Doc/libposixfile.tex: use tableiii instead of tableii, so
partparse will work again (I know, chicken!)
* Doc/libthread.tex: Added get_ident(); updated text on module
availability
* Doc/myformat.perl: Added sub do_cmd_Cpp
* Python/compile.c (com_argdefs, com_arglist): avoid referencing
CHILD(n,i) for i >= NCH(n)
* Python/bltinmodule.c: added tuple() builtin
Thu Aug 11 16:41:14 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Objects/classobject.c, Include/classobject.h: added __getattr__
and __setattr__ support to override getattr(x, name) and
setattr(x, name, value) for class instances. This uses a special
hack whereby the class is supposed to be static: the __getattr__
and __setattr__ methods are looked up only once and saved in the
instance structure for speed.
(Later rewritten to also support __delattr__ and to store the
routines in the class instead of in the instance)
Wed Aug 10 13:42:29 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* configure.in, Makefile.in: remove the AC_PREFIX() call -- it's
more trouble than it's worth at CWI and most other people seem to
install Python in the default (/usr/local) anway. Changed comment
describing --prefix in Makefile.in
* Lib/urllib.py (ftpcache): remove debug print statement
Tue Aug 9 14:32:45 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Objects/{int,long,float}object.c, Include/object.h,
Python/bltinmodule.c: mods by Andrew Kuchling to implement
pow(x,y,z) == pow(x,y)%z, but without incurring overflow
* Python/import.c: if initializing a module did not enter the
module into sys.modules, it may have raised an exception -- don't
override this exception.
* Include/rename1.h: added PyMethodDef and PyObject
Mon Aug 8 09:51:08 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/{Makefile,*.tex}: Changes by Andrew Kuchling:
* Added dependencies to the Makefile
* Added \optional{} commands all over the place (possibly not
finished yet)
* Defined \optional and \Cpp in myformat.sty
* Changed all occurrences of C++ to \Cpp{}, for nicely
formatting the + signs.
* Fixed typos, sentence structure in lots of places
* Added documentation for the rotor module
* Added a commented-out paragraph to libcrypto.tex that can be
added once the Python Cryptography Kit is released.
* Altered the table in libposixfile.tex a bit.
* Documented socket.gethostname()
* Started completely rewriting the Extending manual.
* Modules/{Setup.in, gdbmmodule.c}, Doc/{lib,libgdbm}.tex: added
Anthony Baxter's gdbm module (derived from Jack's dbm module)
Fri Aug 5 11:43:16 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* BUGS: new file (merger of unofficial BUGS1.0.x files)
* Modules/{Setup.in,Makefile.pre.in}: renamed some modules to
shorter names (dropped the "module" from the name): sunaudiodev,
imgformat, audioop, imageop, imgfile
* Python/import.c: support *.o/*.so as alternative for
*module.o/*module.so
* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): make rindex('abc', '') do
the right thing (i.e. return 3 instead of 0)
* Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_vars): correct typo in error msg
* Doc/libsocket.tex (subsection{Socket Object Methods}):
documented gethostname() and a few misc things
* Modules/socketmodule.c: disabled allowbroadcast() socket method
Mon Aug 1 01:28:29 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Makefile.in (TAGS): Call etags w/o -t option
* Lib/rfc822.py: fix two bugs: error in readheaders interpreting
regex.match() result, and wrong logic in getfirstmatchingheader()
when the same header occurs twice consecutively
* Lib/test/test_types.py (6.4.1): test for particular bug in
integer multiply
Sat Jul 30 13:31:40 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/libsocket.tex, Modules/socketmodule.c: send() and sendto()
now return actual byte count (useful for sockets in non-blocking
mode)
Tue Jul 26 14:21:17 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* configure.in: check for <limits.h>
* Objects/longobject.c (newlongobject): fix long(0x80000000) and
add warning that it isn't actually correct on 64-bit machines;
include <limits.h> if HAVE_LIMITS_H is defined
* Objects/intobject.c (int_mul): check int*int overflow without
resorting to double precision (many thanks to John Tromp)
* Modules/signalmodule.c (signal_alarm): interface to Posix alarm()
* Python/ceval.c (call_object): print message before abort()
Mon Jul 25 11:30:56 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/libstring.tex (section{Standard Module \sectcode{string}}):
documented string.count()
* Lib/string.py: added count(s, sub, i=0), returns number of
occurrences of sub in s[i:]
* Doc/keywords.py: program to sort table of keywords in ref2.tex
* Doc/ref2.tex (subsection{Keywords}): add 'access' and 'lambda'
to list of reserved words
Thu Jul 14 15:26:14 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* README, Misc/NEWS, Python/patchlevel.h,
Doc/{lib,ext,tut,ref}.tex: bump version to 1.0.3; in README, fewer
references to it elsewhere, nor to IP numbers.
Wed Jul 13 18:51:36 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/mhlib.py (removefromallsequences): call putsequences with
proper argument
Mon Jul 11 13:00:36 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/selectmodule.c: don't accept negative file descriptors;
changed error messages slightly
Thu Jul 7 12:20:10 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/syslogmodule.c: new module by Lance
* configure.in: don't check for strtod!
* Python/import.c: undo Mac DL mods (temporarily) and install NeXT
dl mods by William Lewis instead.
* Modules/posixmodule.c (posix_popen): substitute pclose for
fclose (how did fclose ever creep into this?)
Wed Jul 6 21:45:54 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/{bdb,cmd,pdb}.py: Mods by Rickard Westman: No longer barfs
on lambda:s (outputs "<lambda>" as the function name); "a(rgs)" in
pdb now works; help messages added to pdb (lifted from pdb.doc).
Also, "h pdb" calls pdb.help(). cmd.do_help() displays topics on
a nicer way (I think). Also, topics for which there is a help_
method, but no do_method (like "pdb" above) are displayed in a
special way. My own mod: fix break on function to also support
methods.
Tue Jul 5 23:18:16 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): change semantics of third
argument -- as in the original string.rindex, search to its right,
not to its left. (Maybe both index and rindex need a 4th
parameter to restrict the search on the other end?
Mon Jul 4 23:01:36 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/timemodule.c (sleep, floatsleep): don't use setjmp or
signal, rely on err_errno() or sigcheck() instead.
* Dos/{pcmodule,dosmodule}.c, Modules/posixmodule.c: don't include
<setjmp.h>
Sat Jul 2 00:42:47 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/urllib.py: implemented new quoting rules; added splituser,
splitpasswd, splitattr, splitvalue; new ftp syntax (user:passwd,
cwd to each subdir, type={a,i,d})
Fri Jul 1 17:32:51 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/traceback.c: add function name to traceback info
* Object/listobject.c, Modules/{array,mpz}module.c: include
<sys/types.h> for size_t
Fri Jul 1 12:47:05 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Makefile.in (Makefile): add dependency on config.status
* configure.in: support --with-gcc[=value], --without-gcc
* configure.in, acconfig.h, config.h.in: check for clock_t
* Modules/{arraymodule,mpzmodule}.c: Include sys/types.h, for size_t
* Lib/test/test_types.py (6.5.1 Strings): test for nasty string
formatting bug
* Objects/stringobject.c (formatstring): fix nasty bug in resizing
Wed Jun 29 10:01:17 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/ref3.tex (section{The standard type hierarchy}
\label{types}): fix typo
* Lib/packmail.py: applied patch from Lance to remove '.' and '..'
Tue Jun 28 00:57:35 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/ref1.tex: grammar notation can use single or double quotes now
* configure.in (termcap): hack around conflict about clear() on
IRIX 5 in shared libraries gl and termcap
* Python/bltinmodule.c: added callable() predicate
Wed May 18 15:01:13 1994 Donald Beaudry (don@zippy.vicorp.com)
* modsupport.c (do_arg): Changed all of the int getting things to
just try to get and int, instead of explicitly checking for an int
first.
(do_arg): Added the "O&" option to allow using a user supplied
conversion function.
Wed May 18 14:10:49 1994 Donald Beaudry (don@zippy.vicorp.com)
* intobject.c (getintvalue): Changed to allow automatic conversion
from any type that supports the nb_int method.
* floatobject.c (getfloatvalue): Changed to allow automatic
conversion from any numeric type that supports the nb_float
method.
Wed May 4 22:56:15 1994 Donald Beaudry (don@scooter.vicorp.com)
* object.h -- Added tp_call member to the typeobject struct
This along with a minor change to the ceval.c allows overloading
of the function call operator for any class.
Wed May 4 22:23:48 1994 Donald Beaudry (don@scooter.vicorp.com)
* modsupport.c -- replace the part of getargs that processes "O!",
it had a minor problem with comparing the types.
* ceval.c -- changed call_object to make use of the tp_call
field.
Fri Jun 27 17:22:00 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/pythonmain.c: On MPW (3.2) unbuffered seems to hang, so
use setvbuf ... _IOLBF for -u option.
* Python/mystrtoul.c: MPW hack (overflow check doesn't seem to work)
Thu Jun 23 14:46:34 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/Makefile.pre.in (clobber): delete config.c and glmodule.c
Thu Jun 23 00:17:16 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Parser/tokenizer.c: if a triple-quoted string ends in a quote
followed by a newline (followed immediately by the terminating 3
quotes) then a syntax error or system error ensues (one-line fix)
* Doc/ref4.tex: clarify that global name space is almost always
containing module's name space
* Lib/profile.{py,doc}: totally new versions by James Roskind;
also edited source & doc to replace 'jprofile' by 'profile'
* Modules/posixmodule.c: don't mess with SIGPIPE any more -- this
is now done in Python/pythonrun.c (saves NT dependency here)
* Modules/Setup.*: removed all except Setup.in (keeping them up to
date was too much of a pain)
* Python/import.c: don't rely on three-line "dl.h", just copy the
contents.
* Doc/libtypes.tex (subsubsection{More String Operations.}):
clarified tuple vs non-tuple argument to format strings.
Wed Jun 22 10:38:22 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/libsocket.tex: clarify the meaning of address for those

Thu Jun 16 16:20:12 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/imgformatmodule.c: new module for Jack by Jack
Tue Jun 14 21:07:00 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

by newline
Mon Jun 13 00:24:06 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/multifile.py: added readlines() and read() methods

* Doc/lib.tex: added warning about lineii, libposixfile and partparse
* Lib/bdb.py (clear_all_breaks): this was defined with two
arguments that weren't used and shouldn't have been there
Mon Jun 6 14:53:05 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/ceval.c (call_trace): Added call to fast_2_locals so
locals_2_fast won't zap locals if the trace function never looks
in f.f_locals; don't XDECREF(f->f_trace)
Sun Jun 5 13:18:00 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/rfc822.py: Accept lines ending in CR LF as well
Fri Jun 3 16:37:58 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/profile.py: unspecified improvements by Sjoerd
* Lib/{bdb,pwd,stdwin/wdb}.py: remove debugger overhead when
continuing with no breakpoints; add set_trace() method and
functions to forcibly enter the debugger
* Python/ceval.c(eval_code): give the name of the local variable
when LOAD_FAST or DELETE_FAST fails
* frameobject.[ch], ceval.c: made fast_2_locals and locals_2_fast
global and moved them to frameobject.c. getattr(f, "f_locals")
now calls fast_2_locals and there are fewer other calls to it
Thu Jun 2 13:50:11 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/ceval.c (call_trace): *p_trace can now be cleared by the
trace function!
* Modules/{{pwd,grp}module.c,Setup.in}: split pwdmodule.c into pwd
and grp modules (e.g. OS2 seems to have pwd but not grp)
* Modules/posixmodule.c: OS/2 mods: add #include <io.h>
* configure.in: test for existence of link, chown, setuid, setgid;
use std macros for output; require autoconf 1.8
* Python/sigcheck.c: sigcheck() for use without signalmodule.c
* Modules/signalmodule.c: added thread compatibility (only main
thread uses signals); much improved efficiency; intrcheck()
doesn't call sigcheck() but only tests and clears the SIGINT
tripped flag.
* Lots of places: replace intrcheck() by sigcheck() and remove
following err_set(KeyboardInterrupt).
Wed Jun 1 11:33:34 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/regexmodule.c (reg_dealloc): remove bogus XDEL's.
Tue May 31 11:22:47 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/intrcheck.c: removed sigcheck()
* Python/structmember.c (setmember): test for NULL value
* frameobject, Python/ceval.c (eval_code): moved trace variable to
frame object so debugging can be switched on later

* Objects/funcobject.c (func_compare): take argcount and argdefs
into account
Wed May 17 00:00:00 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/import.c: bump MAGIC because of changes below
* Python/{ceval,compile}.c, Include/frameobject.h: changes to code
objects -- consts/names are tuples, RESERVE_LOCALS instruction
gets tuple of names instead of dictionary -- so code objects are
immutable and thus code and function objects are hashable
* Objects/listobject.c, Include/listobject.h: added listtuple() --
convert list to tuple
Tue May 17 15:40:12 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/ceval.c (getframe): cast current_frame to (object *)
* Lib/ftplib.py (login): default user='' is translated explicitly
to 'anonymous'
Wed May 11 10:29:22 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Parser/tokenizer.c (tok_nextc): fix inf loop when file does not
end in newline
* Modules/sybasemodule.c: new, interface to sybase (John Redford)
* Modules/signalmodule.c: new, catch unix signals (Lance)
* Parser/intrcheck.c, Python/ceval.c, Include/ceval.h,
Python/pythonrun.c: prepare for signalmodule.c; add sigcheck()
interface to intrcheck.c, add getframe() interface to ceval.c;
don't override signal handlers in pythonrun.c
Tue May 10 09:01:06 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/import.c (get_module): print dlopen debug message only of
verbose
Mon May 9 10:37:48 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* acconfig.h: added _POSIX_THREADS define
* configure.in: test for -lpthreads; add directory argument to
--with-thread to LIBS as -L option
* Python/thread.c: split in per-system files (thread.c includes
thread_foobar.h for foobar threads)
* Objects/stringobject.c (formatstring): don't DECREF result of
strobject() before using it
* Doc/libtypes.tex: fix typo in table of list methods; clarify
truncation behavior of floating point formatting
* Doc/ref3.tex: clarify defaults for __repr__, __cmp__ and
__str__; correct (some) descriptions of class constructors
Fri May 6 11:25:26 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* various files: micro changes needed to compile on Mac;
Grouped more Mac-specific files in Mac subdirectory
* Lib/*.py: rewrote many functions to use default arguments
instead of arbitrary argument lists
Thu May 5 12:33:31 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Modules/{cryptmodule.c,Setup.in}: new crypt(3) interface (Steve M)

codehack.getcodename() is obsolete now we have co.co_name; same
for getfuncname(): f.func_name. Module codehack is still needed

Majewski. Instead of iterating over 0, 1, 2, ..., len(a)-1, we
now iterate over 0, 1, 2, ..., until we get an IndexError
exception (other exceptions are still errors). This affects the
semantics of the following language constructs: "for x in a: ...",
"x in a", "x not in a", and the following built-in functions:
filter(), map(), max(), min(), reduce().

os.defpath
Thu Feb 17 12:53:33 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Lib/ftplib.py(FTP.makeport): call listen(1) instead of listen(0)
so it works on Solaris 2
* Modules/makesetup: reverse order of DEFS so first Setup file can

_NEXT_SOURCE (then define _POSIX_SOURCE); remove test for dlopen;
* configure.in, acconfig.h, */modsupport.[ch]: rename
HAVE_VARARGS_PROTOTYPES to HAVE_STDARG_PROTOTYPES, to avoid
confusion
* Include/modsupport.h: no prototypes for getargs() and mkvalue()
in case no varargs prototypes
* Lib/test/test_grammar.py: don't import sleep from time, but time
(since sleep has portability problems)

* Modules/Setup*: added -lX11_s to line for gl module
* Demo/scripts/unbirthday.py: new script, print unbirthday count

(there's now a test in the configure script); check that if
'signed' is defined away characters aren't unsigned
* Modules/posixmodule.c: include mytime.h (for clock_t on NeXT)
* acconfig.h: add entry for 'signed' keyword
* configure.in: remove const from check for exec prototypes; add

(like long_scan but raises exception for bad base and stores end
of string into return argument)
* Objects/rangeobject.c (range_repr): repr must use "xrange..."
Wed Feb 2 12:28:04 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

* Python/import.c (get_module): call dlerror() when dlopen() fails
(also some layout changes)
Tue Jan 11 10:56:00 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Python/import.c: use RTLD_NOW (define as 2 if undefined)

* Include/object.h: added #define 'staticforward' as either static
or extern depending on BAD_STATIC_FORWARD

so it is only copied when Setup does not exist at all; add
prefix=/usr/local so Setup can base default path on --prefix
option to toplevel configure script

include GNN's timing module by default; use $(prefix) instead
requiring manual edit of DESTDIR

Release of 1.0.0 BETA 3 (Jan 5 1994)
========================================================================
Wed Jan 5 00:18:45 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* {Parser,Objects,Python,Makefile}/Makefile*in: made depend target
work with VPATH
* README: describe new build procedure; added section on building
for multiple architectures
* acconfig.h: fix (reversed!) comment for SYS_SELECT_WITH_SYS_TIME
* Modules/Makefile.pre.in: copy Setup from $(srcdir) if not
present, and use local Setup as input for makesetup script
Tue Jan 4 12:32:16 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Note that there are no functional changes below -- just changes
to the build process and changes to avoid compiler warnings
* Modules/Setup: disable nis as well by default, change the
pertaining comments, and change the comments about the multimedia
modules to be default on
* fixed all warnings about function pointer initializations, and
miscellanous other warnings (e.g. about extern forward references
to static variables); touched random bits of code as a consequence
* changed configuration process and Makefiles to support VPATH;
for this, config.h(.in) now lives to the toplevel directory, the
toplevel Makefile is now created by configure as well, and various
improvements to it have been made (e.g. working tags and TAGS
targets), the makesetup script follows configure instead of
preceding it, it understands srcdir and has an exception for
glmodule.c, the intermediate file is called Makefile.pre, the
Makefiles don't use TOP any more and are much more careful about
the difference between .. and the toplevel directory, and I've
improved my understanding of how configure handles srcdir
* Modules/threadmodule.c: refuse to compile when WITH_THREAD is not
defined
* configure.in, acconfig.h, config.h.in, Include/ceval.h,
Modules/{stdwin,thread}module.c, Python/{ceval,pythonrun}.c:
renamed USE_THREAD to WITH_THREAD
* configure.in: add AC_PROG_INSTALL
* README, Python/version.c: version set to 1.0.0 BETA 3
* Demo, Include, Lib: added Makefile with clean/clobber targets
* README: added remarks on --with-svr4; unnumber special cases
* configure.in: only look for -lnsl and -lsocket if --with-svr4 is
specified, to avoid linking with them on IRIX 5
========================================================================
Release of 1.0.0 BETA 2 (Jan 3 1994)
========================================================================
Mon Jan 3 22:21:24 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

* README: added paragraph on testing
* Misc/python.man: changed date and add 1994 copyright
* Makefile: added test target
* Python/thread.c: include config.h if needed
* Parser/parser.h: remove references to struct _grammar and
similar things
* Modules/rotormodule.c (RTR_e_char, RTR_d_char): avoid warnings
by picky compilers about unsigned % signed
* README: added a section on building it for non-UNIX systems
* Makefile (configure): call autoheader when calling autoconf
* Include/config.h.in: now generated by autoheader
* acconfig.h: new file (input for autoheader)
* configure.in: added AC_REVISION call to top
* Modules/flmodule.c (form_setattr): one NULL should be 0
* Include/myselect.h: this now implies mytime.h and attempts to
work around systems where sys/select.h and sys/time.h can't be
included together
* Modules/socketmodule.c, Doc/libsocket.tex: remove socket avail()
method -- you can use select instead
* Modules/Setup: disable dbm, it is not truly portable
* Lib/sunau.py: incorporate one-line fix by Sjoerd
* Include/pgenheaders.h: include <stdlib.h> if its symbol
defined, not just on the mac
* Include/grammar.h: remove redundant structure tags
* Include/cgensupport.h: avoid possible macro argument
substitution inside string literal
* configure.in, Include/config.h.in: add test whether sys/select.h
and sys/times.h can be included by the same program
* Include/config.h.in: add lines for HAVE_SYS_UN_H and
HAVE_GETPEERNAME
* Extensions/mkext.py: copy change in library order from
Modules/Makefile.in.in
* Modules/Makefile.in.in: change library order subtly so -ltermcap
follows instead of precedes -lgl_s on SGI systems; this solves
(hides?) problems with clashing entry points
* configure.in: added sys/un.h to list of tested header files;
added getpeername to list of tested functions (both for
Modules/socketmodule.c)
* Modules/socketmodule.c: conditionally include sys/un.h and
change tests for AF_UNIX to tests for HAVE_SYS_UN_H; test for
HAVE_GETPEERNAME instead of NO_PEERNAME

explanation to some options, add description of ChangeLog, add
wuarchive.wustl.edu to list of mirror sites
* Modules/socketmodule.c: make AF_UNIX code dependent on existence
of AF_UNIX (SCO ODT 3.0 doesn't support it -- let's hope it
doesn't define the symbol either)
* Makefile: attempt to fix install targets (added separate
libinstall and maninstall)
* Doc/libregex.tex: documented Tracy Tims' changes
* Modules/regexpr.c: redid Tracy Tims' changes to minimize diffs
(only two added lines now)
* Modules/regexmodule.c: fix core dump when asking a plain regex
object for a named group
Sun Jan 2 23:10:44 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* README, Python/version.c: changed version string to 1.0.0 BETA 2
* Modules/{regexpr.{c,h},regexmodule.c}: merged in Tracy Tims'
mods for named subexpressions
* Include/regexpr.h: moved to Modules/regexpr.h
* Modules/timingmodule.c: change tests for no arguments
* configure.in: remove strtoul from AC_REPLACE_FUNCS; remove
initial blank line (which got copied into configure so it wouldn't
start with #!/bin/sh as required)
* Python/compile.c: call mystrto(u)l instrad of strto(u)l
* Python/Makefile.in: add mystrtoul.c to OBJS
* Python/mystrtoul.c: renamed from strtol.c; renamed functions to
mystrto(u)l; this is now a standard source file (since some
systems have a strto(u)l that doesn't report errors properly)
* Modules/Setup: added entry for timing module
* Modules/{timing.h,timingmodule.c}: new files implementing GNN's
timing module
