win-unicode-console 0.5

Changes

• Recovering of Unicode sys.argv on Python 2 is now supported: module unicode_argv was added. Fixes #20.
• The runner uses compile(..., dont_inherit=True) even on Python 2. Fixes #14.
• Console detection was enhanced: StandardStreamInfo objects with methods is_a_TTY, is_a_console, should_be_fixed in streams module. sys.std* streams without fileno (e.g. Python 2 StringIO) are supported.
• Custom readline hook is disabled on error to avoid an infinite loop in interactive session.

win-unicode-console 0.4

Changes

• Python 2 is now supported. Fixes #7.
• The runner package and run script were enhanced. Since custom REPL is not needed, it is not used by default, and the runner serves as a way to execute initialization code before running a main script. There are more options for the an initialization code, see the readme file or run script help.
• The package can be now imported on Unix and other platforms. The top-level enable function does nothing on platforms other than Windows. Fixes #8.
• The signature of streams.enable was changed. streams.enable_only function was added. The functions enable_reader, enable_writer, and enable_error_writer in streams module were removed.
• When sys.stdin.encoding != sys.stdout.encodin, RuntimeWarning is raised by readline_hook module rather than ValueError.
• The readme file was mostly rewritten.
• A changelog file was added.

win-unicode-console 0.3.1

Changes

• Changed the loader of msvcrt library from windll to cdll. Solved #5.

win-unicode-console 0.3

Changes

• Added possibility to set custom readline hook. Also pyreadline hook can be reused. Custom REPL is no longer needed.
• Added transcoding wrappers to streams, since there is a problem with UTF-16 encoding.
• New interface win_unicode_console.enable, .disable.
• Stream objects have standard filenos now, custom readline hook is needed for input().

win-unicode-console 0.2

Changes

• Better treatment of reading zero or one bytes so infinite loops aren't started on higher levels.
• Added automatical flushing in REPL.
• Interaction with Python object to read and write bytes now uses buffer protocol.
• Changed type of read/written bytes variable from c_long to c_ulong to be compatible with pyreadlines and the specification, which says DWORD. Solves #2.

win-unicode-console 0.1.2

Changes

• Added __init__.py for better compatibility, see issue #1.

win-unicode-console 0.1.1

Bug fixes

• Better handling of OS level errors on read or write.
• Writing a single byte to the raw stream raises an exception so a buffer of odd length no more loops on flush().
• There is now maximum limit for bytes to be written by the raw stream so at least something is written (see http://bugs.python.org/issue11395).

win-unicode-console 0.1

Initial release.
