Marc-Andre's third try at this bulk patch seems to work (except that
his copy of test_contains.py seems to be broken -- the lines he
deleted were already absent). Checkin messages:
New Unicode support for int(), float(), complex() and long().
- new APIs PyInt_FromUnicode() and PyLong_FromUnicode()
- added support for Unicode to PyFloat_FromString()
- new encoding API PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() which converts
Unicode to a decimal char* string (used in the above new
APIs)
- shortcuts for calls like int(<int object>) and float(<float obj>)
- tests for all of the above
Unicode compares and contains checks:
- comparing Unicode and non-string types now works; TypeErrors
are masked, all other errors such as ValueError during
Unicode coercion are passed through (note that PyUnicode_Compare
does not implement the masking -- PyObject_Compare does this)
- contains now works for non-string types too; TypeErrors are
masked and 0 returned; all other errors are passed through
Better testing support for the standard codecs.
Misc minor enhancements, such as an alias dbcs for the mbcs codec.
Changes:
- PyLong_FromString() now applies the same error checks as
does PyInt_FromString(): trailing garbage is reported
as error and not longer silently ignored. The only characters
which may be trailing the digits are 'L' and 'l' -- these
are still silently ignored.
- string.ato?() now directly interface to int(), long() and
float(). The error strings are now a little different, but
the type still remains the same. These functions are now
ready to get declared obsolete ;-)
- PyNumber_Int() now also does a check for embedded NULL chars
in the input string; PyNumber_Long() already did this (and
still does)
Followed by:
Looks like I've gone a step too far there... (and test_contains.py
seem to have a bug too).
I've changed back to reporting all errors in PyUnicode_Contains()
and added a few more test cases to test_contains.py (plus corrected
the join() NameError).
This patch solves 2 problems of the os module.
1) Bug ID #50 (case-mismatch wiht "environ.get(..,..)" and "del environ[..]")
2) os.environ.update (dict) doesn't propagate changes to the 'real'
environment (i.e doesn't call putenv)
This patches also has minor changes specific for 1.6a
The string module isn't used anymore, instead the strings own methods are
used.

Patch from Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@iskon.hr>:
The bug is in mmap_read_line_method(), and its loop that searches for
newlines. After the loop reaches EOF, eol is incremented and points
after the end of the memory. This results in readline() method
sometimes picking up and returning a byte after the end of the string.
This is usually a bogus \0, but it could cause SIGSEGV if it's after
the end of the page).
The patch fixes the problem. Also, it uses memchr() for finding a
character, which is in fact the "strnchr" the comment is asking for.
memchr() is already used in Python sources, so there should be no
portability problems.
Since Thomas Wouters kept complaining that he wants access to the the
Unix From lines, change the UnixMailbox class so that _search_start()
positions the file *before* the Unix From line instead of after it;
change _search_end() to skip one line before looking for the next From
line. The rfc822.Message class automatically recognizes these Unix
From lines and squirrels them away in the 'unixfrom' instance variable.
Reorganization: ripped util.py to shreds, creating in the process:
- file_util.py: operations on single files
- dir_util.py: operations on whole directories or directory trees
- dep_util.py: simple timestamp-based dependency analysis
- archive_util.py: creation of archive (tar, zip, ...) files
The functions left in util.py are miscellany that don't fit in any of the
new files.
Reorganization: moved the Distribution class from core.py to dist.py, and
the Command class from core.py to cmd.py. No other code needs changing
though; distutils.core still provides the Command and Distribution classes,
although indirectly now.

I believe I've now got all the names mentioned in the CVS logs since
1.5.2 was released, except those who contributed only to Doc files --
Fred has his own way of doing this.
This doesn't mean that I've got everyone who contributed *before*
1.5.2 was released in here... :-(
Add '#include <netinet/tcp.h>'
"man tcp" on Solaris says that TCP_NODELAY is defined in
netinet/tcp.h, and the Open Groups Unix98 spec agrees
(http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009619199/ninettcp.htm).

Simplified Thomas Heller's registry patch: just assign all those
HKEY_* and Reg* names once, rather than having near-duplicate code
in the two import attempts.
Also dropped the leading underscore on all the imported symbols,
as it's not appropriate (they're not local to this module).
Added Python interface to Expat XML parser.
The Setup.in entry is sort of a lie; it links with -lexpat, but
Expat's Makefile doesn't actually build a libexpat.a. I'll send
Expat's author a patch to do that; if he doesn't accept it, this
rule will have to list Expat's object files (ick!), or have a
comment explaining how to build a .a file.

Rename 'formats' option to 'format', and remove the ability to generate
multiple built distributions in one run -- it seemed a bit dodgy and I'd
rather remove it than try to beat it into submission right now.

Patch (mostly) from Thomas Heller for building on Windows:
* build to "Debug" or "Release" temp directory
* put linker turds (.lib and .exp files) in the build temp directory
* tack on "_d" to extensions built with debugging
* added 'get_ext_libname()' help in putting linker turds to temp dir
Also, moved the code that simplifies None to empty list for a bunch
of options to 'finalize_options()' instead of 'run()'.

Add back an obscure "feature" to the Obj version of Tkapp_Call(): a
None in an argument list *terminates* the argument list: further
arguments are *ignored*. This isn't kosher, but too much code relies
on it, implicitly. For example, IDLE was pretty broken.

Added 'get_name()' and 'get_full_name()' methods to Distribution.
Simplified 'Command.get_peer_option()' a tad -- just call 'find_peer()'
to get the peer command object.
Updated 'Command.copy_file()' to take a 'link' parameter, just like
'util.copy_file()' does now.
Added 'Command.make_archive()' to wrap 'util.make_archive()'.

Added 'create_tree()'.
Changes to 'copy_file()':
* added support for making hard links and symlinks
* noted that it silently clobbers existing files when copying, but
blows up if destination exists when linking -- hmmm...
* error message tweak
Added 'base_name' parameter to 'make_tarball()' and 'make_zipfile()'.
Added 'make_archive()' -- wrapper around 'make_tarball()' or
'make_zipfile()' to take care of the archive "root directory".

The 'bdist_dumb' command, the first worker bee for use by 'bdist'. This is
the command that actually creates "dumb" binary distributions, ie.
tarballs and zip files that you just unpack under <prefix> or <exec-prefix>.
Very limited, but it's a start.

The 'bdist' command, for creating "built" (binary) distributions.
Initial revision is pretty limited; it only knows how to generate "dumb"
binary distributions, i.e. a tarball on Unix and a zip file on Windows.
Also, due to limitations in the installation code, it only knows how to
distribute Python library code. But hey, it's a start.

Changed to use the new 'has_pure_modules()' and 'has_ext_modules()' methods
provided by Distribution.
Cosmetic and error message tweaks.
Simplified 'make_release_tree()':
* extracted 'distutils.util.create_tree()'
* don't have to do hard-linking ourselves -- it's now handled by
'distutils.util.copy_file()' (although the detection of
whether hard linking is available still needs to be factored out)
Removed 'make_tarball()' and 'make_zipfile()' entirely -- their role
is now amply filled by 'distutils.util.make_archive()'.
Simplified 'make_distribution()':
* use Distribution's new 'get_full_name()' method
* use 'make_archive()' instead of if/elif/.../else on the archive format
