PEP 304 "Controllin g Generation of Bytecode Files" - patch updated

Skip Montanaro

I updated the patch that supports PEP 304, "Controllin g Generation of
Bytecode Files" to apply cleanly against current CVS. I've tested it on Mac
OS X (straight Unix build only). I'd appreciate it if some Linux, Windows
and Mac framework folks could apply the patch, rebuild, then run the tests
(there is a "testbcb" target in the Makefile that should give Windows people
an idea what to do). The patch is attached to

http://python.org/sf/677103

Now that I think about it, there is probably a file in the Windows build
tree (equivalent of pyconfig.h?) that still needs to be updated.

The text of the PEP has not been updated in awhile. I will try to look at
that in the next couple of days. I'd appreciate some critical review by
people with Windows filesystem experience. There was a comment ages ago
about problems with this scheme due to Windows multi-rooted directory tree
that I can no longer find (and failed to record in the PEP at the time).
I'd like to see if the problem can be resurrected then addressed.

Thanks,

Skip

There's no patch attached.

*sigh*

Thanks for noticing the problem. Apparently, since I last updated the
patch, SF implemented a 250kbyte limit on file uploads. This one is big
because it includes a suitably modified configure script that was generated
with a slightly different version of autoconf than what's in the current
Python distro so people don't need to have autoconf installed to work with
the patch. I've attached a gzipped version of the patch (bcb.diffs.gz).

Deleting folder "Temporary Internet Files"

by: Rosa | last post by:

Hi, I'm trying to clear the TIF on Windows XP programmatically with the below code. This code works fine on any folder but the TIF. For some reason the atEnd() statements always defaults to true and no files are deleted in the folder. The peculiarity of this issue is that the files/subfolders cannot be seen through the windows explorer either. I can only access/delete them through a command shell. Any ideas?

Simple question: Why does Java write bytecode "high byte first"

by: blazedaces | last post by:

I was working all day yesterday (and will probably be for most of today) with bytecode where java wrote the bytecode and matlab read it... I had never worked with bytecode in great detail before so this was quite a challenge. I mean, all in all, the experience was interesting and because it was harder then it should have been, more educational. Still, I've been told almost every other program reads "low byte first" and thinking about it,...
