- The new "re" module (Perl style regular expressions) is here. It

- In support of the re module, a new form of string literals is

+ configure works best if you use GNU bash; a port is available on
+ ftp.qnx.com in /usr/free. I used the following process to build,
+ test and install Python 1.5 under QNX:
+
+ 1) SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash CC=cc CFLAGS=-5 -O RANLIB=: \
+ bash ./configure --verbose --without-gcc --with-libm=""
+
+ 2) copy Modules/Setup.in to Modules/Setup; edit Modules/Setup to
+ activate everything that makes sense for your system... tested
+ here at QNX with the following modules:
+
+ regex reop pcre posix signal readline array cmath math strop
+ struct time operator _locale fcntl pwd grp crypt select socket
+ errno termios audioop imageop rgbimg md5 timing rotor syslog
+ new gdbm soundex binascii parser cStringIO cPickle zlib

+ 3) SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash make SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash
+
+ 4) SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash make SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash test
+
+ The socket, strftime and possibly gdbm tests might fail in the
+ test harness; going through them by hand shows that they work.
+ A good exercise for the reader: make these work "out of the box".

+ If you get SIGSEGVs while running Python (I haven't yet, but I've
+ only run small programs and the test cases), you're probably running
+ out of stack; the default 32k could be a little tight. To increase
+ the stack size, edit the Makefile in the Modules directory to read:
LDFLAGS = -N 48k
