under MacOS.)

to the current Python interpreter (ie. the one used for
building/installation), even (especially!) if "/usr/bin/env" appears in
the #! line.

Rationale: installing scripts with "#!/usr/bin/env python" is asking for
trouble, because
  1) it might pick the wrong interpreter (not the one used to
     build/install the script)
  2) it doesn't work on all platforms (try it on IRIX 5, or on Linux
     with command-line options for python)
  3) "env" might not be in /usr/bin

do it back in copy_file() (not at module level).

- compile() didn't return a (empty) list of objects. Fixed.
- the various _fix_xxx_args() methods weren't called (are they new or did I overlook them?). Fixed.

Fixed -D emulation for symbols with a value, as specified with the define_macros Extension argument.

but it still can't have any syntax errors.  Went a little too fast
there, Jack? :-)

Made distutils understand the MacPython Carbon runtime model. Distutils will build for the runtime model you are currently using for the interpreter.

this by changing the mode to "w".

Should probably be set to 1.0.2 before final release of python 2.1

Does someone still release distutils separate from python?

has been changed to include an uninstaller.
I forgot to mention in the uninstaller checkin that the logfile
name (used for uninstalling) has been changed from
<module>.log to <module>-wininst.log. This should prevent
conflicts with a distutils logfile serving the same purpose.

The short form of the --bdist-dir (-d) option has been removed
because it caused conflicts with the short form of the --dist-dir
option.

slightly more brief, and more like the message that an extension will not
be built because the built copy is up to date.

 the Cygwin-specific compiler class.

 (According to Jason Tishler, cygwinccompiler needs some work to
  handle the differences in Cygwin- and MSVC-Python. Makefile and
  config files are currently ignored by cygwinccompiler, as it was
  written to support cygwin for extensions which are intended to be
  used with the standard MSVC built Python.)

--bitmap command line option allows to use a different bitmap file instead
of the build-in python powered logo.
--title lets you specify the text to display on the background.

The editbox in the first screen now longer is

This is the patch
http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103687&group_id=5470
with two changes:
1. No messagebox displayed when the compilation to .pyc or .pyo files
failes, this will only confuse the user (and it will fail under certain
cases, where sys.path contains garbage).
2. A debugging print statement was removed from bdist_wininst.py.
