dialogs are now stored in Mac/Lib, and loaded on demand through macresource.
Not only does this simplify a MacPython based on Apple's Python, but
it also makes Mac error codes come out symbolically when running command
line python (if you have Mac/Lib in your path).
The resource files are copied from Mac/Resources. The old ones will disappear
after the OS9 build procedure has been adjusted.

all along. Before instr_lb tended to be too high.
I don't think this actually makes any difference, given what the compiler
produces, but it makes me a bit happier.
patch #617312, both on the trunk and the 22-maint branch.
Also added a test case, and ported the test_trace I wrote for HEAD
to 2.2.2 (with all those horrible extra 'line' events ;-).
The switch in Exception__str__ didn't clear the error if
PySequence_Size() raised an exception. Added a case -1 which clears
the error and falls through to the default case.
Definite backport candidate (this dates all the way to Python 2.0).
than when this interval was first established. Checking too frequently just
adds needless overhead because most of the time there is nothing to do and
no other threads ready to run.
globals, _Py_Ticker and _Py_CheckInterval. This also implements Jeremy's
shortcut in Py_AddPendingCall that zeroes out _Py_Ticker. This allows the
test in the main loop to only test a single value.

Use a slightly different strategy to determine when not to call the line
trace function. This removes the need for the RETURN_NONE opcode, so
that's gone again. Update docs and comments to match.
Thanks to Neal and Armin!
Also add a test suite. This should have come with the original patch...
in LOAD_GLOBAL. Besides saving a C function call, it saves checks
whether f_globals and f_builtins are dicts, and extracting and testing
the string object's hash code is done only once. We bail out of the
inlining if the name is not exactly a string, or when its hash is -1;
because of interning, neither should ever happen. I believe interning
guarantees that the hash code is set, and I believe that the 'names'
tuple of a code object always contains interned strings, but I'm not
assuming that -- I'm simply testing hash != -1.
On my home machine, this makes a pystone variant with new-style
classes and slots run at the same speed as classic pystone! (With
new-style classes but without slots, it is still a lot slower.)
Also, don't handle METH_OLDARGS on the fast path. All the interesting
builtins have been converted to use METH_NOARGS, METH_O, or
METH_VARARGS.
Result is another 1-2% speedup. If I can cobble together 10 of these,
it might make a difference.
This makes the code much easier to ready, because it is at a sane
indentation level. On my box this shows a 1-2% speedup, which means
nothing, except that I'm not going to worry about the performance
effects of the change.
nothing special done if keyword arguments were present, so test for
that earlier and fall through to the normal case if there are any.
This ought to slow down CFunction calls with keyword args, but I don't
care; it's a tiny (1%) improvement for pystone.
- Use PyObject_Call() instead of PyEval_CallObject(), saves several
layers of calls and checks.
- Pre-allocate the argument tuple rather than calling Py_BuildValue()
each time round the loop.
- For filter(None, seq), avoid an INCREF and a DECREF.
warning for 'global None', but that's either accompanied by an
assignment to None, which will trigger a warning, or not, in which
case it's harmless. :-)
