Jack,
As described previously in this thread, I was proposing 2 changes to
MacPython. The first one you did integrate (cool) and this is the second
one.
It is intended to replace the current mechanism to store the MacPython
preferences. I detail in the patch the motivations for doing so.
I didn't know if you wanted me to the implement this one. You told me you
were concerned by how to do it since it goes deep inside MacPython. So I
didn't do something complete, I just concentrated on making the under
mechanism so you have "only" to hook it up and replace the current system. I
posted it at SourceForge.
Now in order to use it, you'll probably want to add that in macconfig.c :
extern void initMacPersistent();
{"MacOS", initMacOS},
> {"MacPersistent", initMacPersistent},
{"regex", initregex},
Then add the file MacPersistent.cpp and then run the sample.
Hope you like it, please tell me if I can help some more.
Regards,
Alex.
P.s.: sorry for posting messages in the wrong thread (i.e. Mach-o Python and
GUSI Yielding), but that's me :-)
