TARGET_API_MAC_OS8 (or !TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON) is gone. Also some
TARGET_API_MAC_OSX conditional code is gone, because it is no longer
used on OSX-only Python (only in MacPython-OS9).
The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure. Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers. (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)
I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static. This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.
XXX I haven't updated the documentation.
Highlights: import and friends will understand any of \r, \n and \r\n
as end of line. Python file input will do the same if you use mode 'U'.
Everything can be disabled by configuring with --without-universal-newlines.
See PEP278 for details.
starts with "-psn_". This means the drag-and-drop continues to work as
expected, but we can now also do
/Applications/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/python script.py
from the command line, which is a lot easier with debugging. Pressing <option>
at this point also has the expected effect of opening the options dialog!
- Don't scan for cmd-. unless in the foreground
- Scan before switching out to other processes, not after
- don't scan if SchedParams.check_interrupt is false (!)
- But: do scan if we're blocked on I/O
One problem remains: in the last case KeyboardInterrupt is raised
too late.
