(Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.)
The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be
checked-in soon. Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's
rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in
in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev).
The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is
meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch. Further additions are
welcome from everyone. Please stress test this new feature as much as
possible before the alpha release.
Add support for floor division (// and //=)
The implementation of getChildren() and getChildNodes() is intended to
be faster, because it avoids calling flatten() on every return value.
But it's not clear that it is a lot faster, because constructing a
tuple with just the right values ends up being slow. (Too many
attribute lookups probably.)
The ast.txt file is much more complicated, with funny characters at
the ends of names (*, &, !) to indicate the types of each child node.
The astgen script is also much more complex, making me wonder if it's
still useful.
1.5.2. The compiler generates code for the version of the interpreter
it is run under.
ast.py:
Print and Printnl add dest attr for extended print
new node AugAssign for augmented assignments
new nodes ListComp, ListCompFor, and ListCompIf for list
comprehensions
pyassem.py:
add work around for string-Unicode comparison raising UnicodeError
on comparison of two objects in code object's const table
pycodegen.py:
define VERSION, the Python major version number
get magic number using imp.get_magic() instead of hard coding
implement list comprehensions, extended print, and augmented
assignment; augmented assignment uses Delegator classes (see
doc string)
fix import and tuple unpacking for 1.5.2
transformer.py:
various changes to support new 2.0 grammar and old 1.5 grammar
add debug_tree helper than converts and symbol and token numbers
to their names
Attached is a set of diffs for the .py compiler that adds support
for the new extended call syntax.
compiler/ast.py:
CallFunc node gets 2 new children to support extended call syntax -
"star_args" (for "*args") and "dstar_args" (for "**args")
compiler/pyassem.py
It appear that self.lnotab is supposed to be responsible for
tracking line numbers, but self.firstlineno was still hanging
around. Removed self.firstlineno completely. NOTE - I didnt
actually test that the generated code has the correct line numbers!!
Stack depth tracking appeared a little broken - the checks never
made it beyond the "self.patterns" check - thus, the custom methods
were never called! Fixed this.
(XXX Jeremy notes: I think this code is still broken because it
doesn't track stack effects across block bounaries.)
Added support for the new extended call syntax opcodes for depth
calculations.
compiler/pycodegen.py
Added support for the new extended call syntax opcodes.
compiler/transformer.py
Added support for the new extended call syntax.
