There's one major and one minor category still unfixed:
doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the
refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon);
other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category.
(Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)
variations of the type struct and its attachments. In Py3k, all type
structs have to have all fields -- no binary backwards compatibility.
Had to change the complex object to a new-style number!
the toplevel package. This already worked for elements, but now for
properties too. Fixes#753925.
- Even better, the toplevel class (such as Finder.Finder) now inherits
the element and property dictionaries of its application class and has
the necessary glue to allow you to say
f = Finder.Finder()
f.get(f.name)
the Standard_Suite, but various other suites do expect it (the Finder
implements get() without declaring it itself). It is probably another
case of OSA magic. Adding them to the global base class.
could be responsible for various unexplained problems with Python/OSA
interaction over the years):
- Enum values were passed as their string counterparts. Most applications
don't seem to mind this, but some do (InDesign).
- Attributes have never worked (!), as they were incorrectly passed
as parameters. Apparently nobody uses them much:-)
in MacPython-OS9 and MacPython-OSX (or the equivalent unix Python on
Mac OS X). The only items remaining in Mac/Lib are modules that are
meaningful only for MacPython-OS9 (CFM stuff, MacPython preferences
in resources, etc).
