- Got rid of inspection of some environment variables.
- Got rid of Py_GetProgramName() and related logic.
- Print the version header *after* successful initialization.
it can be placed in the library.
Other, related changes:
- Moved the inspection of some environment variables to
Py_Initialize().
- Got rid of -s option.
- Moved Py_GetProgramName() and related logic to pythonrun.c; call
Py_SetProgramName() instead.
- Print the version header *after* successful initialization.
for more!).
- The global flags that can be set from environment variables are now
set in Py_Initialize (except the silly Py_SuppressPrint, which no
longer exists). This saves duplicate code in frozenmain.c and main.c.
- Py_GetProgramName() is now here; added Py_SetProgramName(). An
embedding program should no longer provide Py_GetProgramName(),
instead it should call Py_SetProgramName() *before* calling
Py_Initialize().
PyThreadState pointer instead of a (frame) PyObject pointer. This
makes much more sense. It is backward incompatible, but that's no
problem, because (a) the heaviest users are the Py_{BEGIN,END}_
ALLOW_THREADS macros here, which have been fixed too; (b) there are
very few direct users; (c) those who use it are there will probably
appreciate the change.
Also, added new functions PyEval_AcquireThread() and
PyEval_ReleaseThread() which allows the threads created by the thread
module as well threads created by others (!) to set/reset the current
thread, and at the same time acquire/release the interpreter lock.
Much saner.
Currently, contains one function: compile_command(), which helps
determining whether a source string is complete, incomplete or in
error. This is useful when writing your own version of the Python
read-eval-print loop.
int+int, int-int, int <compareop> int, and list[int].
(Unfortunately, int*int is way too much code to inline.)
Also corrected a NULL that should have been a zero.
