(-) redo __xxx__ operators for class instances; add __getattr__ and
__setattr__.

(-) many things that take strings should also take arrays of chars

(-) fix pow(x, y, z) for integers

(*) add tuple(seq) to turn any sequence into a tuple

(-) add list of existing extensions to FAQ

(-) update "recent additions" chapter in tutorial

(-) rewrite "output formatting" chapter in tutorial

(-) add a make rule to build .so files (unfortunately need to figure
    out what ld option is needed) (more appropriate for makesetup
    script?)

(-) write a script and add a "Make" rule (perhaps) that changes
    #!/usr/local/bin/python to something else in all scripts around.

(*) int*int overflow check shouldn't doubles on alpha (cf. John Tromp's mail)

(*) add signal.alarm()

(*) when abort()ing because of unexpected exception, print a message
    first (Jack)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
(from BUGS1.0.1)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(-) document addpack, urllib, ...

(*) import.c from JaapV

(-) document os.exec*

(*) name sunaudiodevmodule.c is too long

(*) play with / include SUIT interface

(-) make regsub.[g]sub() optionally case insensitive

(-) handle printing of errors in lines containing multiline strings

======================================================================

(*) ought to use features from autoconf 1.8

(*) errors in __repr__() are handled wrong when called from format

(*) long(0x80000000) has wrong value!

(-) hex(0x80000000) shouldn't have sign (?)

(*) need way to set buffering at file open time

(*) need way to force stdout unbuffered

(-) document new modules (builtin as well as Lib)

(*) restart CVS tree

(?) build shared libs for SunOS 4.1.3

(-) Mac X... code resources as shared libs?

(*) X patches from Adrian Phillips

(*) Jaap's freeze script

Incorporate with contrib status:
- additions to glmodule by rg3h
(*) Jaap's posixfile module (with locking)
(*) pthreads interface

Later:
- put the offending object in IOError and posix.error
- make module marshal work with user-defined file-like objects
- built-in help?
- hierarchical module names?

Big plans:

- allow separate interpreters (a la Xt's Applocation Contexts, and Tcl)
- great renaming
- complete reflexive nature of the language, e.g. have interfaces et
create any kind of object
(*) GUI interface a la Tk


======================================================================
For FAQ:

(*) why don't strings (numbers, tuples, ...) have methods / attributes

(*) why are strings / numbers / tuples immutable

why don't list methods return self

======================================================================
PM/TODO list after Egypt (from mailing list):

make .pyc files executable (how?)

thread status and improvements (lock stmt; signal/wait)

optional optimizations

pthread migration

(*) test/incorporate new SUIT

shorten excessively long filenames (sunaudiodevmodule.c)

(*) default parameter values

multiple interpreter objects

(*) import shlib bug (irix5.2) (reload, dlclose)

(*) addpack.py

(*) newmodule.c (or other hacks to create new modules, classes, functions
    etc. from their components)

persistency

new Dbhash.py, dbhash library

reraise; or raise 3rd param for traceback?
-or- except type, value, tbackobjec

redesign exceptions from scratch?

dbm objects miss items(), values() methods

(*) jar's new profile

answer q about coerce()

(*) reconsider pass [expression] ??? -or- don't print non-interactive
    exprs -or- option to suppress printing non-None expressions

(*) should be able to hash code objs (add fns to convert between lists/tuples)

describe() ?

distribute demo2 with Holmes

(*) re-reply on try-continue

classes are too slow

add += etc. ?

optimize tuple = tuple

allow (a, b) = [1, 2] and [1, 2] = (1, 2) ???

wustl is not un the northwest of the US?

(*) MPW doesn't like \000 in string literals?

MPW patches, unixemu patches

prepare tar files with
	- mac think projects (*)
	- mpw makefiles
	- dos makefiles
	- mac unixemu lib

explain rules about == vs. 'is' for strings (* by others on the list)

(*) bug in ceval.c DELETE_FAST

(*) possible optimize LOAD_NAME -> LOAD_GLOBAL

get dos python with suit (inesc)

(*) docs for try/continue are wrong and unclear

better hashing fn?

(*) add improved nested indent to python-mode.el

(*) add a section to tutorial on "new" features

rewrite section on formatting in tutorial

======================================================================
TODO-TOO list:

test for overflow when converting python long to float

lift restrictions on tuple or list in many cases

(*) allow long ints with sensible values for getargs "i"

(*) multiline string literals

what to do about 64-bit int literals (on 64-bit machines) in .pyc
files?  (Currently truncated w/o warning!)

DOCUMENTATION UPDATE!  E.g. ref.tex doesn't describe:
(*)	- line joins w/o backslash
(*)	- double-quoted strings; \" in strings
	- more?
Should double-check all changes with docs!

(?) Interrupting output still sometimes doesn't call clearerr() properly

sometimes ghost errors when interrupting during debugging in
'continue' mode?

typing a comment to a primary prompt shouldn't issue a secondary prompt

readline: add hooks to recognize Python syntax and to expand Python
commands and names

should have absolute pathnames in function objects

in general check that all the exceptions are modernized and that the
messages aren't giving the same error twice (e.g., stdwinmodule.c!)

- check read/write allowed for file objects

- introduce macros to set/inspect errno for syscalls, to support things
  like getoserr()

======================================================================
DOS/Windows Python

(???) command line options?

(*) os.system()

(???) interrupts

(???) wrap

(*) pc module

(*) dospath.py

DOS/Windows Python -- TO DO

(*) memtest from config.h

(*) copy sources back

(*) build DOS version
