-------------------
(-) unwanted entries in stack trace if err_clear() clears an error
that also set a stack trace
(-) i, x[i] = a, b assigns b to x[a] rather than to x[i] as expected
(if we don't fix this, it should be documented with a warning!)
(-) various memory leaks (see purify report from anthony.baxter@aaii.oz.au)
(*) etags no longer supports -t flag
(-) compile.c:com_argdefs() references unalloc'ed memory for def
f(a=1,): ...
(-) Syntax errors are reported in a silly way if multi-line tokens are
involved.
(-) SyntaxError exception for compile('...') are reported wrongly
(lineno is always zero and offset is offset into the whole string).
(-) If you have a python binary in your path like
/ufs/guido/bin/sgi/python then the default prefix option computed by
the configure script is bogus!
(-) Make rule for making lib*.a should remove the lib*.a file first.
(*) vars() error message is wrong (copied from dir() obviously).
(*) socket.gethostname() is undocumented.

(-) urllib caching is wrong (should use date from Expires header)
(*) On a related matter: regexpr.c still has two malloc()s the results
of which are not tested for being NULL (lines 1253 and 1530). There
are also some in rgbimagemodule.c. Am I overlooking something or is
this a crasher?

* Doc/libfuncs.tex: don't use $math$ in description of pow(x,y,z);
describe tuple()
* Doc/libposixfile.tex: use tableiii instead of tableii, so
partparse will work again (I know, chicken!)
* Doc/libthread.tex: Added get_ident(); updated text on module
availability
* Doc/myformat.perl: Added sub do_cmd_Cpp
* Python/compile.c (com_argdefs, com_arglist): avoid referencing
CHILD(n,i) for i >= NCH(n)
* Python/bltinmodule.c: added tuple() builtin
Thu Aug 11 16:41:14 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Objects/classobject.c, Include/classobject.h: added __getattr__
and __setattr__ support to override getattr(x, name) and
setattr(x, name, value) for class instances. This uses a special
hack whereby the class is supposed to be static: the __getattr__
and __setattr__ methods are looked up only once and saved in the
instance structure for speed
Wed Aug 10 13:42:29 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* configure.in, Makefile.in: remove the AC_PREFIX() call -- it's
more trouble than it's worth at CWI and most other people seem to
install Python in the default (/usr/local) anway. Changed comment
describing --prefix in Makefile.in
* Lib/urllib.py (ftpcache): remove debug print statement
Tue Aug 9 14:32:45 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Objects/{int,long,float}object.c, Include/object.h,
Python/bltinmodule.c: mods by Andrew Kuchling to implement
pow(x,y,z) == pow(x,y)%z, but without incurring overflow
* Python/import.c: if initializing a module did not enter the
module into sys.modules, it may have raised an exception -- don't
override this exception.
* Include/rename1.h: added PyMethodDef and PyObject
Mon Aug 8 09:51:08 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)
* Doc/{Makefile,*.tex}: Changes by Andrew Kuchling:
* Added dependencies to the Makefile
* Added \optional{} commands all over the place (possibly not
finished yet)
* Defined \optional and \Cpp in myformat.sty
* Changed all occurrences of C++ to \Cpp{}, for nicely
formatting the + signs.
* Fixed typos, sentence structure in lots of places
* Added documentation for the rotor module
* Added a commented-out paragraph to libcrypto.tex that can be
added once the Python Cryptography Kit is released.
* Altered the table in libposixfile.tex a bit.
* Documented socket.gethostname()
* Started completely rewriting the Extending manual.
* Modules/{Setup.in, gdbmmodule.c}, Doc/{lib,libgdbm}.tex: added
Anthony Baxter's gdbm module (derived from Jack's dbm module)
