I discovered the [MREMAP_MAYMOVE] symbol is only defined when _GNU_SOURCE is
defined; therefore, here is the change: if we are compiling for linux,
define _GNU_SOURCE before including mman.h, and all is done.
this patch adds a fast _flatten function to the _tkinter
module, and imports it from Tkinter.py (if available).
this speeds up canvas operations like create_line and
create_polygon. for example, a create_line with 5000
vertices runs about 50 times faster with this patch in
place.
The seek() method is broken for any 'whence' value (seek from
start, current, orend) other than the default. I have a patch
that fixes that as well as gets mmap'd files working on
Linux64 and Win64.
Python on UNIX now trusts PYTHONHOME unconditionally
Modules/getpath.c:
Landmark changed to os.py.
Setting PYTHONHOME now unconditionally sets sys.prefix
(and sys.exec_prefix). No further checks are done whether the
standard lib can be found in that location or not. This is in
sync with the PC subdir getpath implementations.
PC/getpathp.c:
Landmark changed to os.py.
PC/os2vacpp/getpathp.c:
Landmark changed to os.py.
Note: BAW's checkin on exceptions.c eliminates earlier concerns about
a bogus PYTHONHOME value leading to a core dump. Instead it causes a
useless sys.path and prevents imports.
