Things to do before releasing Pyton 1.4 the final cut:
|
|
|
|
Win/NT specific things:
|
|
|
|
... pyc files remain open when imported???
|
|
|
|
... no control-c or control-break in Windows Console mode???
|
|
(implement Mark's hacks) (seems to work now?)
|
|
|
|
Bugs:
|
|
|
|
... exception in __del__ when __builtins__ has been deleted
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
|
|
... simple threading support (with lock) for Tk
|
|
|
|
... Create and distribute the generic Makefile.pre.in for outside extensions.
|
|
|
|
Documentation:
|
|
|
|
... Add section on filesystem interface to tutorial
|
|
|
|
... Update tutorial for changes in the language & library
|
|
|
|
... New sections for library reference manual (use NEWS file for hints)
|
|
|
|
... add stuff to ext.tex about threads and embedded Python
|
|
|
|
... mention that -2147483648 doesn't work
|
|
|
|
... mention that 0e0 and 01.0 etc. don't work
|
|
|
|
Maybe not (yet):
|
|
|
|
... get rid of 'owner' passed around for newframeobject and evalcode
|
|
|
|
... Get freeze working for NT? (Sam has one)
|
|
|
|
... rename init<module> to PyInit_<module>.
|
|
|
|
... import ni seems to interpret the current directory as a package.
|
|
|
|
... math.sqrt(1j) should raise TypeError!!! (To fix in getargs 'd' format.)
|
|
|
|
... add make target that does machdep install; use in "machdepinstall"
|
|
|
|
... prototype for PyOS_CheckStack() somewhere
|
|
|
|
... On some Linuxes, ``python -c "print 12" | wc'' produces no output???
|
|
|
|
... Add INSTALL_ROOT variable to Makefile.in
|
|
|
|
... More thread testing (Solaris?), wait for David Arnold
|
|
|
|
... Get rid of more modules: (stdwin, soundex, SGI specific?)
|
|
|
|
... Use autoconf features to find X11 libraries
|
|
|
|
... Use more modern autoconf features (e.g. for platform testing)
|
|
|

The following is old and I haven't checked whether it still applies:

what to do about 64-bit int literals (on 64-bit machines) in .pyc
|
|
files? (Currently truncated w/o warning!)
|
|
|
|
DOCUMENTATION UPDATE! E.g. ref.tex doesn't describe:
