dialogs are now stored in Mac/Lib, and loaded on demand through macresource.
Not only does this simplify a MacPython based on Apple's Python, but
it also makes Mac error codes come out symbolically when running command
line python (if you have Mac/Lib in your path).
The resource files are copied from Mac/Resources. The old ones will disappear
after the OS9 build procedure has been adjusted.
if SetDates() in touched() returns an error ignore it: the user may not have
permission to change the parent folder. This is a non-serious problem,
the only function of touched() is to speed up the finder seeing the
change.
(or don't always?) show up with missed(). I think this is a bug in
Jaguar, but as it is a potential dangerous problem (the OSA event has
failed, but the Python code isn't told about this and happily continues)
this is a quick workaround.
Bugfix candidate, I'll add it to 2.2.2 as a last second fix.
This is a silly workaround for a rather serious bug in MacOSX: if you take
a long filename and convert it to an FSSpec the fsspec gets a magic
cooky (containing a #, indeed). If you then massage the extension of this
fsspec and convert back to a pathname you may end up referring to the
same file. This could destroy your sourcefile. The problem only occcurs
in MacPython-OS9, not MacPython-OSX (I think).
Closes bug #505562.
This patch makes inheritance for OSA classes work. The implementation is a
bit convoluted, but I don't immedeately see a simpler way of doing it.
I added calls to ascii() everywhere we output strings that may contain
non-ascii characters (Python has gotten very picky since the encoding
patch:-).
I also removed Donovan's different way of opening resource files: I don't
seem to need it.
where it was: it is really a configuration file, not a normal module.
By moving it into Mac/Lib we can now also store the location of bgen
itself in there, which is needed because bgen isn't installed.
