The new filecmp module has an optional argument called use_statcache
which is documented as a true/false value, but used as an tuple index.
This patches replaces the tuple stuff with a good old if- statement,
and also removes a few other tuple pack/unpack constructs (if not
else, this saves a few bytes in the PYC file, and a few microseconds
when using the module ;-).
The attached patch set includes a workaround to get Python with
Unicode compile on BSDI 4.x (courtesy Thomas Wouters; the cause
is a bug in the BSDI wchar.h header file) and Python interfaces
for the MBCS codec donated by Mark Hammond.
Also included are some minor corrections w/r to the docs of
the new "es" and "es#" parser markers (use PyMem_Free() instead
of free(); thanks to Mark Hammond for finding these).
The unicodedata tests are now in a separate file
(test_unicodedata.py) to avoid problems if the module cannot
be found.
This patch fixes the "search" command in imaplib. The problem
was that a search can take multiple arguments, but as defined,
would only accept one.
I have also made changes to the test code at the end to be less
verbose by default, but to accept a verbosity argument.
- new script/applet BuildCGIApplet
This largely supercedes :Mac:Demos:cgi, except for the html doc file. Should it move here? Merged with CGI_README.txt?
Todo: fullbuild support.

The robotparser.py module currently lives in Tools/webchecker. In
preparation for its migration to Lib, I made the following changes:
* renamed the test() function _test
* corrected the URLs in _test() so they refer to actual documents
* added an "if __name__ == '__main__'" catcher to invoke _test()
when run as a main program
* added doc strings for the two main methods, parse and can_fetch
* replaced usage of regsub and regex with corresponding re code
we don't know what to do with it when we see it.
Call '_fix_object_args()' and/or '_fix_lib_args()' as appropriate, rather
than just '_fix_link_args()'.
Split '_fix_link_args()' up into '_fix_object_args()' (for use of
'create_static_lib() and link methods) and '_fix_lib_args()' (for the
link methods only).
Attached you find the latest update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version.
It includes the fix I posted yesterday for the core dump problem
in codecs.c (was introduced by my previous patch set -- sorry),
adds more tests for the codecs and two new parser markers
"es" and "es#".
Andy Robinson noted a core dump in the codecs.c file. This
was introduced by my latest patch which fixed a memory leak
in codecs.c. The bug causes all successful codec lookups to fail.
a Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS block, but it
calls Py_BLOCK_THREADS anyway. The change moves Py_BLOCK_THREADS
to inside the if, so it's only executed when the function
actually returns unexpectedly.
these must come from the 'build' command. This means we no longer need
the misconceived 'set_peer_option()' method in Command and, more importantly,
sweeps away a bunch of potential future complexity to handle this tricky
case.
Fix 'Command.set_undefined_option()' to call 'ensure_ready()' rather
than 'finalize_options()' (which is only supposed to be called once,
which is the whole point of 'ensure_ready()').
Added comment to 'set_peer_option()' to remind myself that this method
cannot work and is fundamentally wrong-headed.
