- Changed semantics for initialized flag (again); forget the ref
counting, forget the fatal errors -- redundant calls to
Py_Initialize() or Py_Finalize() calls are simply ignored.
- Automatically import site.py on initialization, unless a flag is set
not to do this by main().
the -X command line option.
Py_Initialize(): Handle the two phase initialization of the built-in
module.
Py_Finalize(): Handle the two phase finalization of the built-in
module.
parse_syntax_error(): New function which parses syntax errors that
PyErr_Print() will catch. This correctly parses such errors
regardless of whether PyExc_SyntaxError is an old-style string
exception or new-fangled class exception.
PyErr_Print(): Many changes:
1. Normalize the exception.
2. Handle SystemExit exceptions which might be class based. Digs
the exit code out of the "code" attribute. String based
SystemExit is handled the same as before.
3. Handle SyntaxError exceptions which might be class based. Digs
the various information bits out of the instance's attributes
(see parse_syntax_error() for details). String based
SyntaxError still works too.
4. Don't write the `:' after the exception if the exception is
class based and has an empty string str() value.
for more!).
- The global flags that can be set from environment variables are now
set in Py_Initialize (except the silly Py_SuppressPrint, which no
longer exists). This saves duplicate code in frozenmain.c and main.c.
- Py_GetProgramName() is now here; added Py_SetProgramName(). An
embedding program should no longer provide Py_GetProgramName(),
instead it should call Py_SetProgramName() *before* calling
Py_Initialize().
Py_FdIsInteractive(). The flag is supposed to be set by the -i
command line option. The function is supposed to be called instead of
isatty(). This is used for Lee Busby's wish #1, to have an option
that pretends stdin is interactive even when it really isn't.
- Assume files of types 'PYC ' and 'APPL' are compiled python code
- For mwerks, show status line when program has terminated while
keeping window open.
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
