The user-facing scripts in PCbuild have been updated to be easier to use
and the buildbot scripts in Tools\buildbot have been updated to use the
user-facing scripts in PCbuild wherever possible.
- Nix the 'noxp' option, it was for Win2k compatibility (which was dropped
with Python 3.3) and made default ttk ugly on post-Win2k systems (#21665)
- Use 'OPTS=symbols' instead of 'DEBUG=1'; symbols is the official method
- Use core, shell, dlls, install-binaries, and install-libraries targets
instead of all and install to avoid trying to 1) build packages that don't
work with MSVC 10+ and 2) install unnecessary bits and pieces.
when building in a separate object tree. More people should build this way.
This may still fail if the source is unwritable, I haven't tested that yet.
solution.
Currently, Tix is not built in Debug configuration.
This change also:
- simplifies some Tcl/Tk-related msbuild properties for _tkinter
- copies the Tcl and Tk DLLs into the build output directory, meaning
they will always be available after a build without having to copy
them manually or change PATH
- removes PCbuild/build_tkinter.py: the solution does the build without
needing to invoke Python (so Tcl/Tk/Tix can be built in parallel with
the rest of the build using the `/m` msbuild command line switch)
- removes an outdated README concerning building Tcl/Tk on AMD64
The new syntax is highly human readable while still preventing false
positives. The syntax also extends Python syntax to denote "self" and
positional-only parameters, allowing inspect.Signature objects to be
totally accurate for all supported builtins in Python 3.4.
annotate text signatures in docstrings, resulting in fewer false
positives. "self" parameters are also explicitly marked, allowing
inspect.Signature() to authoritatively detect (and skip) said parameters.
Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now generates separate checksums for the
input and output sections of the block, allowing external tools to verify
that the input has not changed (and thus the output is not out-of-date).
