Revision history for Perl extension Inline::Python.

0.39 Wed Mar 09 13:00:00 CET 2010 (Stefan Seifert)

• Added py_is_tuple and made Pl2Py recognize an array ref that has been a tuple before in Python.
• Fixed memory corruption on a Python function calling a Perl function that changed the stack pointer.
• Fixed several memory leaks (scalars and dict keys).
• Fixed wrong refcount of return values in py_eval (RT #48081)
• Fixed accessing Unicode keys in a dict passed from Perl.
• Fixed compatability of t/30floats.t with Python 2.7.

0.38 Thu Dec 02 14:00:00 CEST 2010 (Stefan Seifert)

• Fix Perl assertion fail if __getitem__ called multiple times
• Fix "Attempt to free unreferenced scalar" sometimes happening when calling a Perl sub with named parameters from Python.
• Fix several memory leaks found using valgrind
• Add py_finalize to be able to shut down the Python interpreter.

0.37 Thu Sep 30 09:30:00 CEST 2010 (Stefan Seifert)

• Added line numbers to Python exception messages.
• Fixed passing of a perl code ref through Python space.
• Allow passing references to methods from Python to Perl.
• Implemented py_has_attr complementing py_get_attr.
• We now support stringification of Python objects via __str__ methods.
• Fixed segfault when accessing a Python object's attributes throws an exception.
• Fixed some problems with the test suite, hopefully making installation work on more machines.
• Fixed compilation on Win32, linking still seems broken though :(

0.36 Mon Jun 23 12:45:00 CEST 2010 (Stefan Seifert)

• Fixed a segfault when passing dicts with Unicode keys to Perl
• Pass Python exceptions to Perl instead of just printing to STDERR

0.35 Wed Mar 31 11:00:00 CET 2010 (Stefan Seifert)

• Fixed floats sometimes getting converted to int when transfered from Perl to Python. Thanks to John McCullough for a great bug report.

0.34 Fri Mar 12 12:20:00 CET 2010 (Stefan Seifert)

• Fixed refcounting of positional arguments in named argument calls to Perl subs.

0.33 Mon Feb 22 10:30:00 CET 2010 (Stefan Seifert)

• Added support for named arguments for Perl subs

0.32 Fri Jan 29 20:00:00 CET 2010 (Stefan Seifert)

• Perl UTF-8 strings now get converted to Python Unicode strings and vice versa. This could potentially lead to incompatibilities with existing code.
• Return lists of Perl subs no longer get reversed before passing to Python.

0.31 Sun Dec 06 15:30:00 CET 2009 (Stefan Seifert)

• Implement access to Inline::Python::Object data

0.30 Sun Nov 29 19:45:00 CET 2009 (Stefan Seifert)

• Convert Perl arrays to Python arrays instead of tuples
• First look for methods before looking for attributes in PerlObj_getattr

0.29 Tue Jul 07 17:00:00 CEST 2009 (Stefan Seifert)

• Implemented passing of subroutine references and lambda expressions from Python to Perl space.
• Implemented Python's __getitem__ protocol for perl objects. Perl objects can thus be used like dictionaries if they support a __getitem__ sub.
• Fixed a bug in Pl2Py sometimes segfaulting on undefs in arrays.

0.28 Tue Dec 16 19:00:00 CET 2008 (Stefan Seifert)

• Fixed pushing integers from Python to Perl space. They now retain their integer-ness instead of silently converting them to strings.
• PerlObj objects now have a comparison function which asserts if the same perl object is contained.
• implemented Python's __getattr__ protocol for perl objects. Attributes can now be accessed with my_perl_object.my_attribute same as Python objects. The perl object just has to implement a __getattr__ sub.
• __getattr__ now raises a KeyError if a PerlObj object does not have the requested attribute instead of silently assuming that a method is being called.
• Added testcases for all these and for the Unicode fix in 0.27

0.27 Thu Nov 20 19:00:00 CET 2008 (Stefan Seifert)

• Fixed a segfault in py2pl.c when converting Unicode strings from Python to Perl.
• Attempt to check for Python.h in Makefile.pl to make it more visible to the user.

0.26 Mon Nov 10 13:20:00 CET 2008 (Stefan Seifert)

• Fixed compatibility with Python 2.5: all tests run successfully.
• Documented the --enable-shared requirement

0.25 Thu Oct 02 22:20:00 CEST 2008 (Stefan Seifert)

• Added missing changes and updated documentation to reflect current status. No code changes.

0.24 Thu Oct 02 22:05:00 CEST 2008 (Stefan Seifert)

• fixed many wrong refcounts leading to memory leaks and too early freed objects. Most notably when returning more than one result from a perl sub to python.
• fixed segfaults in perlSub_getattr and perlSub_setattr for invalid attribute names on non-methods.
• added many testcases for refcounting

0.23 Mon Sep 29 11:50:00 CEST 2008 (Stefan Seifert)

• fixed segfault when returing perl objects from python functions and methods
• fixed uninitialized member variables of perl subs
• updated documentation to reflect new co-maintainer

0.22 Sun Jan 9 22:29:54 PST 2005

        [Bug reported by David Dyck]
        - removed some declarations after statements
        - newer versions of gcc seem to accept this by default, while older
          versions just croak. Of course, the older versions also don't
          support -Wdeclaration-after-statement.

0.21 Mon Jul 26 13:40:57 CDT 2004

        [Patch from Eric Wilhelm]
        - Added support for 'new-style' python classes which subtype builtin
          types per PEP's 252 and 253.

0.20 Mon Jul 9 16:46:56 PDT 2001

• Made the Makefile.PL more clever about how it picks debugging information. It accepts an optional argument, too, so it's easy to correct the mistakes.

0.20 Wed Jun 20 16:27:23 PDT 2001

• Lots of testing with different versions of Perl & Python
• Makefile.PL auto-detects configuration for python >= 2.0

0.20 Sun Jun 17 19:57:18 PDT 2001

• Made eval_python return results of running code
• py_bind_class(), py_bind_function(), and py_study_package()
• py_eval() and py_call_function()
• py_new_object() and py_call_method()
• Many new test cases
• Updated documentation
• New language alias 'PYTHON' for Inline::Files support
• 'FILTERS' Config option
• Removed 'PRIVATE_PRIFIXES' Config option
• Added new base class Inline::Python::Object for all objects.

0.15 Sun Jun 10 18:39:23 PDT 2001

• Ported to Inline 0.42.

0.14 Thu Mar 22 08:50:33 PST 2001

• Added support for passing binary strings between Python & Perl.

0.13 Sun Mar 4 22:09:35 PST 2001

• Added Win32 code to search for Python installations on Win32
• Eliminated GNU-specific preprocessor macro syntax

0.10 Thu Nov 23 16:46:27 PST 2000

• Created Inline::Python.
