    ...8-bit string. Unicode string comparisons is no longer aware of UTF-16 encoding peculiarities; it's a straight 16-bit compare. The Windows installer now installs the LICENSE file and no longer registers the Python DLL version in the registry (this is no longer needed). It now uses Tcl/Tk 8.3.2. A few portability problems have been fixed, in particular a compilation error involving socklen_t. The PC configuration is slightly friendlier to non-Microsoft compilers.

    Notes Python 2.1.3 Release Notes Release date: 08-April-2002 What's new in Python 2.1.3 (final)? Core Fixed two bugs reported as SF #535905: under certain conditions, deallocating a deeply nested structure could cause a segfault in the garbage collector, due to interaction with the "trashcan" code; access to the current frame during destruction of a local variable could access a pointer to freed memory. SF #457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python (win9x only). Under certa...

    ...8-bit strings. This is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated directly. Changed new-style class instantiation so that when C's __new__ method returns something that's not a C instance, its __init__ is not called. [SF bug #537450] Fixed super() to work correctly with class methods. [SF bug #535444] If you try to pickle an instance of a class that has __slots__ but doesn't define or override __getstate__, a TypeError is now raised. This is done by adding a bozo __getstate__ to the cl...

The encoding used to do this defaults to ASCII, but can be overridden via two new keyword arguments to the Unpickler class. Previously this would create bytes instances, which is usually wrong: str instances are often used to pickle attribute names etc., and text is more common than binary data anyway. Default to ASCII as the locale.getpreferredencoding, if the POSIX system doesn't support CODESET and LANG isn't set or doesn...

    Computer Programming for Everybody Computer Programming for Everybody This is the text of a revised funding proposal that we sent to DARPA in August 1999. In March, we heard that at least an earlier version of the proposal was accepted by DARPA; the work has begun late 1999 and will hopefully last two years, although we've only received funding for the first year (through October 2000). We're keeping our fingers crossed for the rest. Unfortunately, the move of the Python developm...
