image objects, and lots of new methods.
* Added counting of allocations and deallocations of builtin types if
COUNT_ALLOCS is defined. Had to move calls to NEWREF down in some
files.
* Bug fix in sorting lists.
* Makefile: change location of FORMS library.
* posixmodule.c: turn #if 0 into #ifdef MSDOS (stuff in unistd.h or not)
* Almost all .h files: added CPP magic to avoid duplicate inclusions and
to support inclusion from C++.
objects of its derived classes; allow anything that has an attribute
named "__privileged__" access to anything.
* object.[ch]: added hasattr() -- test whether getattr() will succeed.
* Stubs for faster implementation of local variables (not yet finished)
* Added function name to code object. Print it for code and function
objects. THIS MAKES THE .PYC FILE FORMAT INCOMPATIBLE (the version
number has changed accordingly)
* Print address of self for built-in methods
* New internal functions getattro and setattro (getattr/setattr with
string object arg)
* Replaced "dictobject" with more powerful "mappingobject"
* New per-type functio tp_hash to implement arbitrary object hashing,
and hashobject() to interface to it
* Added built-in functions hash(v) and hasattr(v, 'name')
* classobject: made some functions static that accidentally weren't;
added __hash__ special instance method to implement hash()
* Added proper comparison for built-in methods and functions
coercion is now completely generic.
* ceval.c: for instances, don't coerce for + and *; * reverses
arguments if left one is non-instance numeric and right one sequence.
