Note: This code is actually going to be replaced in 2.0 by /F's new
database. Until then, this patch keeps the test suite working.
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
mislabeled.
(Using -c and then -e rearranges some comments, so I won't check that
in -- but it's a good test anyway.
Note that pindent is not perfect -- e.g. it doesn't know about
triple-quoted strings!)
Problem:
A Python program can be completed and reformatted using
Tools/scripts/pindent.py. Unfortunately there is no option for removal
of the generated "# end"-tags. Although a few Python commands or a
"grep -v '# end '" can do wonders here, there are two drawbacks:
- not everyone has grep/time to write a Python script
- it is not checked whether the "# end"-tags were used validly
Solution:
add extra option "-e" (eliminate) to pindent.py
Perfect hash table generator. Outputs a Python extension module
which provides access to the hash table (which is stored in static
C data) using custom code.
This module can currently only generates code for the ucnhash
module, but can easily be adapted to produce perfect hash tables
for other tasks where fast lookup in large tables is needed.

Instead of using Netscape through os.system(), use the new
browser.open() function to load the documentation on the
default browser. On Windows, this will use the installed
documentation if it exists, instead of hitting python.org.
Attached is a set of diffs for the .py compiler that adds support
for the new extended call syntax.
compiler/ast.py:
CallFunc node gets 2 new children to support extended call syntax -
"star_args" (for "*args") and "dstar_args" (for "**args")
compiler/pyassem.py
It appear that self.lnotab is supposed to be responsible for
tracking line numbers, but self.firstlineno was still hanging
around. Removed self.firstlineno completely. NOTE - I didnt
actually test that the generated code has the correct line numbers!!
Stack depth tracking appeared a little broken - the checks never
made it beyond the "self.patterns" check - thus, the custom methods
were never called! Fixed this.
(XXX Jeremy notes: I think this code is still broken because it
doesn't track stack effects across block bounaries.)
Added support for the new extended call syntax opcodes for depth
calculations.
compiler/pycodegen.py
Added support for the new extended call syntax opcodes.
compiler/transformer.py
Added support for the new extended call syntax.
can't remember who. :-) Changes:
- Owner name+email made generic instead of GvR
- Support for Windows NT (running from a .bat file)
- DOcument <HTML>...</HTML> tags
