Fri Aug 5 11:43:16 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* BUGS: new file (merger of unofficial BUGS1.0.x files)
* Modules/{Setup.in,Makefile.pre.in}: renamed some modules to
shorter names (dropped the "module" from the name): sunaudiodev,
imgformat, audioop, imageop, imgfile
* Python/import.c: support *.o/*.so as alternative for
*module.o/*module.so
* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): make rindex('abc', '') do
the right thing (i.e. return 3 instead of 0)
* Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_vars): correct typo in error msg
* Doc/libsocket.tex (subsection{Socket Object Methods}):
documented gethostname() and a few misc things
* Modules/socketmodule.c: disabled allowbroadcast() socket method
Mon Aug 1 01:28:29 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Makefile.in (TAGS): Call etags w/o -t option
* Lib/rfc822.py: fix two bugs
* Lib/test/test_types.py (6.4.1): test for particular bug in
integer multiply
Sat Jul 30 13:31:40 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Doc/libsocket.tex, Modules/socketmodule.c: send() and sendto()
now return actual byte count (useful for sockets in non-blocking
mode)
Tue Jul 26 14:21:17 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* configure.in: check for <limits.h>
* Objects/longobject.c (newlongobject): fix long(0x80000000) and
add warning that it isn't actually correct on 64-bit machines;
include <limits.h> if HAVE_LIMITS_H is defined
* Objects/intobject.c (int_mul): check int*int overflow without
resorting to double precision (many thanks to John Tromp)
* Modules/signalmodule.c (signal_alarm): interface to Posix alarm()
* Python/ceval.c (call_object): print message before abort()
Mon Jul 25 11:30:56 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Doc/libstring.tex (section{Standard Module \sectcode{string}}):
documented string.count()
* Lib/string.py: added count(s, sub, i=0), returns number of
occurrences of sub in s[i:]
* Doc/keywords.py: program to sort table of keywords in ref2.tex
* Doc/ref2.tex (subsection{Keywords}): add 'access' and 'lambda'
to list of reserved words
Thu Jul 14 15:26:14 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* README, Misc/NEWS, Python/patchlevel.h,
Doc/{lib,ext,tut,ref}.tex: bump version to 1.0.3; in README, fewer
references to it elsewhere, nor to IP numbers.
Wed Jul 13 18:51:36 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Lib/mhlib.py (removefromallsequences): call putsequences with
proper argument
Mon Jul 11 13:00:36 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Modules/selectmodule.c: don't accept negative file descriptors;
changed error messages slightly
Thu Jul 7 12:20:10 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Modules/syslogmodule.c: new module by Lance
* configure.in: don't check for strtod!
* Python/import.c: undo Mac DL mods (temporarily) and install NeXT
dl mods by William Lewis instead.
* Modules/posixmodule.c (posix_popen): substitute pclose for
fclose (how did fclose ever creep into this?)
Wed Jul 6 21:45:54 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Lib/{bdb,cmd,pdb}.py: Mods by Rickard Westman: No longer barfs
on lambda:s (outputs "<lambda>" as the function name); "a(rgs)" in
pdb now works; help messages added to pdb (lifted from pdb.doc).
Also, "h pdb" calls pdb.help(). cmd.do_help() displays topics on
a nicer way (I think). Also, topics for which there is a help_
method, but no do_method (like "pdb" above) are displayed in a
special way. My own mod: fix break on function to also support
methods.
Tue Jul 5 23:18:16 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): change semantics of third
argument -- as in the original string.rindex, search to its right,
not to its left. (Maybe both index and rindex need a 4th
parameter to restrict the search on the other end?
Mon Jul 4 23:01:36 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Modules/timemodule.c (sleep, floatsleep): don't use setjmp or
signal, rely on err_errno() or sigcheck() instead.
* Dos/{pcmodule,dosmodule}.c, Modules/posixmodule.c: don't include
<setjmp.h>
Sat Jul 2 00:42:47 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Lib/urllib.py: implemented new quoting rules; added splituser,
splitpasswd, splitattr, splitvalue; new ftp syntax (user:passwd,
cwd to each subdir, type={a,i,d})
Fri Jul 1 17:32:51 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Python/traceback.c: add function name to traceback info
* Object/listobject.c, Modules/{array,mpz}module.c: include
<sys/types.h> for size_t
Fri Jul 1 12:47:05 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Makefile.in (Makefile): add dependency on config.status
* configure.in: support --with-gcc[=value], --without-gcc
* configure.in, acconfig.h, config.h.in: check for clock_t
* Modules/{arraymodule,mpzmodule}.c: Include sys/types.h, for size_t
* Lib/test/test_types.py (6.5.1 Strings): test for nasty string
formatting bug
* Objects/stringobject.c (formatstring): fix nasty bug in resizing
Wed Jun 29 10:01:17 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Doc/ref3.tex (section{The standard type hierarchy}
\label{types}): fix typo
* Lib/packmail.py: applied patch from Lance to remove '.' and '..'
Tue Jun 28 00:57:35 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Doc/ref1.tex: grammar notation can use single or double quotes now
* configure.in (termcap): hack around conflict about clear() on
IRIX 5 in shared libraries gl and termcap
* Python/bltinmodule.c: added callable() predicate
Wed May 18 15:01:13 1994 Donald Beaudry ([email protected])
* modsupport.c (do_arg): Changed all of the int getting things to
just try to get and int, instead of explicitly checking for an int
first.
(do_arg): Added the "O&" option to allow using a user supplied
conversion function.
Wed May 18 14:10:49 1994 Donald Beaudry ([email protected])
* intobject.c (getintvalue): Changed to allow automatic conversion
from any type that supports the nb_int method.
* floatobject.c (getfloatvalue): Changed to allow automatic
conversion from any numeric type that supports the nb_float
method.
Wed May 4 22:56:15 1994 Donald Beaudry ([email protected])
* object.h -- Added tp_call member to the typeobject struct
This along with a minor change to the ceval.c allows overloading
of the function call operator for any class.
Wed May 4 22:23:48 1994 Donald Beaudry ([email protected])
* modsupport.c -- replace the part of getargs that processes "O!",
it had a minor problem with comparing the types.
* ceval.c -- changed call_object to make use of the tp_call
field.
Fri Jun 27 17:22:00 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])

arguments that weren't used and shouldn't have been there
Mon Jun 6 14:53:05 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Python/ceval.c (call_trace): Added call to fast_2_locals so
locals_2_fast won't zap locals if the trace function never looks
in f.f_locals; don't XDECREF(f->f_trace)
Sun Jun 5 13:18:00 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Lib/rfc822.py: Accept lines ending in CR LF as well
Fri Jun 3 16:37:58 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])

* Python/ceval.c (call_trace): *p_trace can now be cleared by the
trace function!

doesn't call sigcheck() but only tests and clears the SIGINT
tripped flag.

* Python/import.c: bump MAGIC because of changes below
* Python/{ceval,compile}.c, Include/frameobject.h: changes to code
objects -- consts/names are tuples, RESERVE_LOCALS instruction

convert list to tuple
Tue May 17 15:40:12 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])

__str__; correct (some) descriptions of class constructors
Fri May 6 11:25:26 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])

Tue Jul 5 23:18:16 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): change semantics of third
argument -- as in the original string.rindex, search to its right,
not to its left. (Maybe both index and rindex need a 4th
parameter to restrict the search on the other end?

codehack.getcodename() is obsolete now we have co.co_name; same
for getfuncname(): f.func_name. Module codehack is still needed
for getlineno(), used in profile and pdb
Tue Mar 8 10:37:21 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])

Majewski. Instead of iterating over 0, 1, 2, ..., len(a)-1, we
now iterate over 0, 1, 2, ..., until we get an IndexError
exception (other exceptions are still errors). This affects the
semantics of the following language constructs: "for x in a: ...",
"x in a", "x not in a", and the following built-in functions:
filter(), map(), max(), min(), reduce().

-- still maintain time in milliseconds though
* Lib/sched.py: remove references to milli{timer,sleep} from comments
* Lib/os.py: made execvp more portable; added os.pathsep and
os.defpath
Thu Feb 17 12:53:33 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Lib/ftplib.py(FTP.makeport): call listen(1) instead of listen(0)
so it works on Solaris 2
* Modules/makesetup: reverse order of DEFS so first Setup file can
override; any non-cpp uppercase option is sent to the linker
Wed Feb 16 10:26:59 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Objects/fileobject.c: add name, mode, softspace and closed
attributes (softspace is also writable).
* configure.in: in --verbose mode, don't hide compiler output

Release of 1.0.1 (Feb 15 1994)
========================================================================
Tue Feb 15 11:32:42 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Lib/string.py (atof): force the result to be float
* Python/modsupport.c (do_arg): don't use a local object va --
this doesn't work on some compilers (e.g. WATCOM)
Mon Feb 14 10:52:01 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Lib/dospath.py: proper version by Jaap Vermeulen
* Makefile.in (Makefiles): add semicolon after ) which some Make
versions need
* Doc/libposix.tex: added doc for posix.fdopen
* README: add Sequent and NeXT to list of platforms; add
troubleshooting section; add hist about -Dindex for readline
* Lib/os.py: generalize to many os specific modules using a
dictionary
* Lib/ospath.py: now obsolete; use os.name to import the right one
* configure.in: change order of -lsocket and -lnsl and insert
-linet in between, so it works on Sequent (it still works on
Solaris 2 -- hope it still works elsewhere as well); add test for
_NEXT_SOURCE (then define _POSIX_SOURCE); remove test for dlopen;
* configure.in, acconfig.h, */modsupport.[ch]: rename
HAVE_VARARGS_PROTOTYPES to HAVE_STDARG_PROTOTYPES, to avoid
confusion
* Include/modsupport.h: no prototypes for getargs() and mkvalue()
in case no varargs prototypes
* Lib/test/test_grammar.py: don't import sleep from time, but time
(since sleep has portability problems)
Fri Feb 11 23:47:46 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])
* Parser/intrcheck.c: added QUICKWIN version (doesn't really
work); fixed MSDOS version to also set a SIGINT handler.
