comments everywhere that bugged me: /* Foo is inlined */ instead of
/* Inline Foo */. Somehow the "is inlined" phrase always confused me
for half a second (thinking, "No it isn't" until I added the missing
"here"). The new phrase is hopefully unambiguous.
- update DLL version number
- add files required for 2.3 (no changes to modules though)
- restructure build of pgen.exe
NOTE: As I don't have the VACPP compiler, these changes are untested.
Apart from slightly re-ordering some file lists, and matching file name
casing, I believe these changes are the minimum necessary to build 2.3
with VACPP.
- the security fixes to tempfile have lead to test_tempfile wanting
to create 100 temporary files. as the EMX default is only 40,
the number of file handles has been bumped (up to 250).
- changes to pgen have required restructuring its build support.
MSDN sample programs use it, apparently in error. The correct name
is WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN. After switching to the correct name, in two
cases more was needed because the code actually relied on things that
disappear when WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN is defined.
These built-in functions are replaced by their (now callable) type:
slice()
buffer()
and these types can also be called (but have no built-in named
function named after them)
classobj (type name used to be "class")
code
function
instance
instancemethod (type name used to be "instance method")
The module "new" has been replaced with a small backward compatibility
placeholder in Python.
A large portion of the patch simply removes the new module from
various platform-specific build recipes. The following binary Mac
project files still have references to it:
Mac/Build/PythonCore.mcp
Mac/Build/PythonStandSmall.mcp
Mac/Build/PythonStandalone.mcp
[I've tweaked the code layout and the doc strings here and there, and
added a comment to types.py about StringTypes vs. basestring. --Guido]
