+SWIG 1.3 Patches
+================
-Some minor tweaks were made to these files to allow wxPython to build
-with Python 1.6. Just put these in your swig_lib/python dir and
-you'll be all set. These are from SWIG 1.1-810, (yes, I am a bit
-behind.)
+This directory holds a set of patches for the CVS version of SWIG that
+are required if you wish to use SWIG for wxPython development, or for
+building your own extension modules that need to interface with
+wxPython. These have been submitted to SWIG's SourceForge patch
+tracker, so hopefully they will get incorporated into the main SWIG
+source tree soon.
+wxPython currently uses the 20-Feb-2004 version of SWIG. You can get
+that version from their CVS using these commands::
+
+
+ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/swig login
+ <press ENTER for empty password>
+
+ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/swig \
+ checkout -D 20-FEB-2004 SWIG

+
+swig.python-docstring.patch Adds "autodoc" and "docstring" features.
+ See SF Patch #883402
+
+ Also changes the "addtofunc" feature to
+ "pythonappend" and also adds a
+ "pythonprepend" feature that prepends
+ pythoncode to the begining of a
+ SWIG-generated proxy function or method.
+
+ Add support for two new options to the
+ %module directive. The first allows you
+ to specify a docstring for the proxy
+ module, you use it like this::
+
+ %module(docstring="blah") modulename
+
+ And then when generating the
+ modulename.py file SWIG will make a
+ docstring using the value given.
+
+ The second %module option allows you to
+ specify the name of the package that the
+ module will live in. This is useful when
+ the .i file is %imported by other .i
+ files. If they are to live in separate
+ packages then the importer can't do local
+ imports of the importee. If both modules
+ have the same package name then nothing
+ is generated differently than the current
+ SWIG functionality. If they are
+ different then the package name of the
+ importee is prepended to the import
+ statement and the base class declarations
+ in the importer. For example::
+
+ %module(pacakge="wx") _core
+
+ Multiple %module options can be specfied,
+ separated by commmas.
+
+
+swig.xmlout.patch Fixes a couple problems in the XML output
+ of SWIG: an extra "/>" was removed and
+ newlines in attribute values were changed
+ to the #10; entity reference so they will
+ be preserved by parsers.
+
+ Also, added options for dumping or
+ writing to a file the XML of the parse
+ tree *after* other language modules have
+ been run (previously you could only do
+ the XML output *instead of* a regular
+ language module.)
+ See SF Patch #864689
+
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+These patches have already been checked in to SWIG's CVS and are in
+the 1.3.20 release.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+swig.SplitLines.patch Adds a new SplitLines function to the DOH
+ library. See SF Patch #829317.
+ *Checked in 10/31/2003*
+
+swig.xml.patch Adds an option that drastically reduces
+ the size of the XML output of SWIG, which
+ increases the performance of the
+ build_renamers script used in the wxPython
+ build. See SF Patch #829319.
+ *Checked in 10/31/2003*
+
+swig.python.patch Lots of changes for SWIG's Python module,
+ especially in how the proxy code is
+ generated. See swig.python.patch.txt for
+ more details, also SF Patch #829325.
+ *Checked in 10/31/2003*
