replaces its own entry in sys.module, reference count errors ensue;
even if there is no reference count problem, it would be preferable
for the import to yield the new thing in sys.modules anyway (if only
because that's what later imports will yield). This opens the road to
an official hack to implement a __getattr__ like feature for modules:
stick an instance in sys.modules[__name__].
bltinmodule.c: fixed coerce() nightmare in ternary pow().
modsupport.c (initmodule2): pass METH_FREENAME flag to newmethodobject().
pythonrun.c: move flushline() into and around print_error().
mac/macsetfiletype.c: changes by Jack to execute .pyc file passed
as command line argument. On the Mac .pyc files are given a
special type so they can be double-clicked
*module.o/*module.so
* Python/import.c: if initializing a module did not enter the
module into sys.modules, it may have raised an exception -- don't
override this exception.
Merged NT changes
* Python/import.c: add lost NT-specific code back in
Fixed NT changes
* funcobject.c (func_repr): don't call getstringvalue(None) for anonymous
functions.
* bltinmodule.c: removed lambda (which is now a built-in function);
removed implied lambda for string arg to filter/map/reduce.
* Grammar, graminit.[ch], compile.[ch]: replaced lambda as built-in
function by lambda as grammar entity: instead of "lambda('x: x+1')" you
write "lambda x: x+1".
* Xtmodule.c (checkargdict): return 0, not NULL, for error.
each dir in sys.path, try each possible extension. (Note: C extensions
are loaded before Python modules in the same directory, to allow having
a C version used when dynamic loading is supported and a Python version
as a back-up.)
* import.c (reload_module): test for error from getmodulename()
* moduleobject.c: implement module name as dict entry '__name__' instead
of special-casing it in module_getattr(); this way a module (or
function!) can access its own module name, and programs that know what
they are doing can rename modules.
* stdwinmodule.c (initstdwin): strip ".py" suffix of argv[0].
function vs. exec statement
* bltinmodule.c: renamed the module to __builtin__.
* posixmodule.c (posix_execv): renamed exec --> execv since it is now a
reserved word.
