After removing that, two testers on machines where C: is not the system
drive reported that the installer suggested their system drive instead
of C:, and that's what they wanted it to do.
PC/python_nt.rc sets up the DLL version resource (displayed when you
right-click on the DLL and select Properties).
PCbuld/python20.wse sets up the installer version resource (displayed
when you right-click on the installer .exe and select Properties). Turns
out this one hadn't been updated since 2001 <frown>!
Added the logging package. In the meantime, Neal Norwitz added a
test_logging.py to the std test suite, which would have caught this
oversight in the Windows installer.
- new import hooks in import.c, exposed in the sys module
- new module called 'zipimport'
- various changes to allow bootstrapping from zip files
I hope I didn't break the Windows build (or anything else for that
matter), but then again, it's been sitting on sf long enough...
Regarding the latest discussions on python-dev: zipimport sets
pkg.__path__ as specified in PEP 273, and likewise, sys.path item such as
/path/to/Archive.zip/subdir/ are supported again.
whether this is a correct thing to do:
+ There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt).
+ test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now.
+ test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too.
Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated
build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled
the Windows installer accordingly.
+ News blurb, but as much XXX as news.
+ Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL;
still don't know how to fold that into _bsddb.pyd).
+ Fleshed out build instructions.
+ Debug Python still blows up.
The bsddb subproject is gone.
The _bsddb subproject is new.
There are problems here, but I'm out of time to work on this now. If
anyone can address an XXX comment or two in readme.txt, please do!
running IDLE, and since I'm not a Tcl Guy I'm not sure what else to do.
Up to you! See XXX comments in PCbuild\readme.txt for cautions.
Also repaired typos in the new bz2-for-Windows instructions.
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.
