IDLE (it was a fatal error before)
- Shuffled a few things around to facilitate the experimental building
of MacPython for Jaguar's pre-installed python.
figure out what the code was doing. The fixes were a combination of
closing open files before deletion, opening files in binary mode, and
plain skipping things that can't work on Windows (BaseTest.decompress
uses a process gimmick that doesn't exist on Windows, and, even if it
did, assumes a "bunzip2" executable is on PATH).
CAUTION: The Python test still has many failures, but I'm out of time
for this now (already took much longer than hoped to get this far).
The base bz2 library does pass its own tests (see next).
CAUTION: People building on Windows have to download and build tne
bz2 compression libraries now. See PCbuild\readme.txt for complete
instructions.
Fixed by catching all exceptions that are subclasses of DistutilsError,
so only the error message will be printed. You can still get the
whole traceback by enabling the Distutils debugging mode.
instead of into a list for a bit of speed/space savings. Reopened the
bug report too (628246), as I'm unclear on why we don't sort out the
cause of the TypeError instead.
The _update method detected mutable elements by trapping TypeErrors.
Unfortunately, this masked useful TypeErrors raised by the iterable
itself. For cases where it is possible for an iterable to raise
a TypeError, the iterable is pre-converted to a list outside the
try/except so that any TypeErrors propagate through.
dialogs are now stored in Mac/Lib, and loaded on demand through macresource.
Not only does this simplify a MacPython based on Apple's Python, but
it also makes Mac error codes come out symbolically when running command
line python (if you have Mac/Lib in your path).
The resource files are copied from Mac/Resources. The old ones will disappear
after the OS9 build procedure has been adjusted.
The errors attribute can be changed after the reader/writer
is created.
For encoding there are two additional errors values:
"xmlcharrefreplace" and "backslashreplace".
These values can be extended via register_error().
always available on Windows NT. When the function cannot be loaded,
get_special_folder_path raises OSError, "function not available".
Compiled the exe, and rebuilt bdist_wininst.py.
