- is_builtin(), init_builtin(), load_builtin() and other builtin related
functions use Unicode strings, instead of byte strings
- Rename _PyImport_FixupExtensionUnicode() to _PyImport_FixupExtensionObject()
- Rename _PyImport_FindExtensionUnicode() to _PyImport_FindExtensionObject()
* Rename _PyImport_FindExtension() to _PyImport_FindExtensionUnicode():
the filename becomes a Unicode object instead of byte string
* Rename _PyImport_FixupExtension() to _PyImport_FixupExtensionUnicode():
the filename becomes a Unicode object instead of byte string
Changes to make __file__ a proper Unicode object, using the default
filesystem encoding.
This is a bit tricky because the default filesystem encoding isn't
set by the time we import the first modules; at that point we fudge
things a bit. This is okay since __file__ isn't really used much
except for error reporting.
Tested on OSX and Linux only so far.
When an extension imports another extension in its
initXXX() function, the variable _Py_PackageContext is
prematurely reset to NULL. If the outer extension then
calls Py_InitModule(), the extension is installed in
sys.modules without its package name. The
manifestation of this bug is a "SystemError:
_PyImport_FixupExtension: module <package>.<extension>
not loaded".
To fix this, importdl.c just needs to retain the old
value of _Py_PackageContext and restore it after the
initXXX() method is called. The attached patch does this.
This patch applies to Python 2.1.1 and the current CVS.
* in import.c, #ifdef out references to dynamic loading based on
HAVE_DYNAMIC_LOADING
* clean out the platform-specific crud from importdl.c.
[ maybe fold this function into import.c and drop the importdl.c file? Greg.]
* change GetDynLoadFunc's "funcname" parameter to "shortname". change
"name" to "fqname" for clarification.
* each GetDynLoadFunc now creates its own funcname value.
WARNING: as I mentioned previously, we may run into an issue with a
missing "_" on some platforms. Testing will show this pretty quickly,
however.
* move pathname munging into dynload_shlib.c
Duzan, for AIX, to support C++ objects with static initializers, when
using the genuine IBM C++ compiler (namely xlC/xlC_r).
See accompanying patches to configure.in and acconfig.h.

Following up Robin Dunn's troubles with freeze, here's a patch that
fixes an oddity regarding the import logic of shared modules on AIX.
Symbol resolution of shared modules is now handled properly for the cases
when the python library is linked to a binary with an arbitrary name.
This includes the standard python[version] executable, but also applications
that are embedding the python core (i.e. linked with libpython[version].a,
the latter being static or shared).
"""
The following patches (relative to 1.5.2b1) enable Python dynamic
loading to work on NetBSD platforms that use ELF (presnetly mips and
alpha systems). They automaticly determine wether the system is ELF or
a.out rather than using astatic list of platforms so that when other
NetBSD platforms move to ELF, python will continue to work without
change.
This is a patch that Bill Bummgarner did for 1.4 that hasn't made its
way into the distribution yet. This is important if you want to use
the ObjC module.
the filename contains at least a rudimentary pathname.
(The bad part is that we need to call getcwd() because only a prefix
of ".\\" is not enough -- we prefix the drive letter.)
This is a bit of a hack: when the shared library is loaded, the module
name is "package.module", but the module calls Py_InitModule*() with just
"module" for the name. The shared library loader squirrels away the true
name of the module in _Py_PackageContext, and Py_InitModule*() will
substitute this (if the name actually matches).
importdl.c: the MAXSUFFIXSIZE macro is now defined in importdl.h, and
the modules dictionary is now passed using PyImport_GetModuleDict().
Also undefine USE_SHLIB for AIX -- in AIX 4.2 and up, dlfcn.h exists
but we don't want to use it.
