@ -61,6 +61,27 @@ Python/C API
- Py_BuildValue() now has a "D" conversion to create a Python complex
number from a Py_complex C value.
Distutils
- the sdist command now writes a PKG-INFO file, as described in PEP 241,
into the release tree.
- several enhancements to the bdist_wininst command from Thomas Heller
(an uninstaller, more customization of the installer's display)
- from Jack Jansen: added Mac-specific code to generate a dialog for
users to specify the command-line (because providing a command-line with
MacPython is awkward). Jack also made various fixes for the Mac
and the Metrowerks compiler.
- added 'platforms' and 'keywords' to the set of metadata that can be
specified for a distribution. Supplying a version number has been made
compulsory.
- applied patches from Jason Tishler to make the compiler class work with
Cygwin.
