number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html
Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
- update DLL version number
- add files required for 2.3 (no changes to modules though)
- restructure build of pgen.exe
NOTE: As I don't have the VACPP compiler, these changes are untested.
Apart from slightly re-ordering some file lists, and matching file name
casing, I believe these changes are the minimum necessary to build 2.3
with VACPP.
These built-in functions are replaced by their (now callable) type:
slice()
buffer()
and these types can also be called (but have no built-in named
function named after them)
classobj (type name used to be "class")
code
function
instance
instancemethod (type name used to be "instance method")
The module "new" has been replaced with a small backward compatibility
placeholder in Python.
A large portion of the patch simply removes the new module from
various platform-specific build recipes. The following binary Mac
project files still have references to it:
Mac/Build/PythonCore.mcp
Mac/Build/PythonStandSmall.mcp
Mac/Build/PythonStandalone.mcp
[I've tweaked the code layout and the doc strings here and there, and
added a comment to types.py about StringTypes vs. basestring. --Guido]
