according to the MS docs it enables exception-handling, and (according
to Alex Martelli <aleaxit@yahoo.com>) is needed to compile without
getting warnings from standard C++ library headers. Apparently
it doesn't cause any problems with C code, so I haven't bothered
conditionalizing the use of /GX.
* deletes cache
* adds firstweekday and setfirstweekday functions that allow user to control
which day of the week is first when displaying calendars
* adds month, week, calendar functions that return their results instead of
printing them
* adds symbolic constants MONDAY, ..., SUNDAY so users need not remember the
ordinal values of the weekdays
In test_poll1(), unregister file descriptors as they're closed,
and also close the read end of the pipe
In test_poll2(), make the code assume less about the combinations of flag
bits that will be returned
Changed 'core.setup()' so it sets them to reasonable defaults.
Tweaked how the "usage" string is generated: 'core' now provides
'gen_usage()', which is used instead of 'USAGE'.
Modified "build_py" and "sdist" commands to refer to
'self.distribution.script_name' rather than 'sys.argv[0]'.
subtle breakage on Windows (the test is skipped here, but the TestSkipped
exception wasn't recognized as such, because of duplicate copies of
test_support got loaded; so the test looks like a failure under Windows
instead of a skip).
Repaired the import, but
THIS TEST *WILL* FAIL ON OTHER SYSTEMS NOW!
Again due to the duplicate copies of test_support, the checked-in
"expected output" file actually contains verbose-mode output. I can't
generate the *correct* non-verbose output on my system. So, somebody
please do that.
The known bug (bogus error message when an empty file is
extracted) is fixed.
Other changes:
- The target-compile and target-optimize flags of bdist_wininst
are gone. It is no longer possible to compile the python
files during installation.
- The zlib module is no longer required or used by bdist_wininst.
- I moved the decompression/extraction code into a separate
file (extract.c).
- The installer stub is now compressed by UPX (see
http://upx.tsx.org/). This reduces the size of the exe
(and thus the overhead of the final installer program)
from 40 kB to 16 kB.
- The installer displays a more uptodate user wizard-like
user interface, also containing a graphic: Just's Python Powered logo.
(I could not convince myself to use one of the BeOpen logos).
- The installation progress bar now moves correctly.
rfc822 (Addresslist) modules. Also a preliminary testcase for augmented
assignment, which should actually be merged with the test_class testcase I
added last week.
so that a subclass can override it.
This partly addresses Bug #112634 -- but the documentation is still
wrong, since it suggests that you can set self.version *after* calling
the base class __init__. In fact it must be done *before*.
I'll fix that too.
Add the EXTENDED_ARG opcode to the virtual machine, allowing 32-bit
arguments to opcodes instead of being forced to stick to the 16-bit
limit. This is especially useful for machine-generated code, which
can be too long for the SET_LINENO parameter to fit into 16 bits.
This closes the implementation portion of SourceForge patch #100893.
