did the same anyway.
I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of
distutils, is it ? Should it try to be compatible with old bytecode version ?
MAGIC number. When updating it next time, be sure it's higher than 50715 *
constants. (Shouldn't be a problem if everyone keeps to the proper
algorithm.)
This patch fixes possible overflow in the use of
PyOS_GetLastModificationTime in getmtime.c and Python/import.c.
Currently PyOS_GetLastModificationTime returns a C long. This can
overflow on Win64 where sizeof(time_t) > sizeof(long). Besides it
should logically return a time_t anyway (this patch changes this).
As well, import.c uses PyOS_GetLastModificationTime for .pyc
timestamping. There has been recent discussion about the .pyc header
format on python-dev. This patch adds oveflow checking to import.c so
that an exception will be raised if the modification time
overflows. There are a few other minor 64-bit readiness changes made
to the module as well:
- size_t instead of int or long for function-local buffer and string
length variables
- one buffer overflow check was added (raises an exception on possible
overflow, this overflow chance exists on 32-bit platforms as well), no
other possible buffer overflows existed (from my analysis anyway)
Closes SourceForge patch #100509.

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode. I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)
Changed all references to the MAGIC constant to use a global
pyc_magic instead. This global is initially set to MAGIC, but can be
changed by the _PyImport_Init() function to provide for
special features implemented in the compiler which are settable
using command line switches and affect the way PYC files are
generated.
Currently this change is only done for the -U flag.
* in import.c, #ifdef out references to dynamic loading based on
HAVE_DYNAMIC_LOADING
* clean out the platform-specific crud from importdl.c.
[ maybe fold this function into import.c and drop the importdl.c file? Greg.]
* change GetDynLoadFunc's "funcname" parameter to "shortname". change
"name" to "fqname" for clarification.
* each GetDynLoadFunc now creates its own funcname value.
WARNING: as I mentioned previously, we may run into an issue with a
missing "_" on some platforms. Testing will show this pretty quickly,
however.
* move pathname munging into dynload_shlib.c
that file in fact did not exist or at least was not used. Change this
so that __file__ is *only* set to the .pyc/.pyo file when it actually
read the code object from it; otherwise __file__ is set to the .py
file.
frozen packages. (I *think* this means that we can now have a
built-in module bar that's a submodule of a frozen package foo, by
registering the built-in module with a name "foo.bar" in the table of
builtin modules.)
because the path through the code would notice that sys.__path__ did
not exist and it would fall back to the default path (builtins +
sys.path) instead of failing). No longer.
to the table of built-in modules. This should normally be called
*before* Py_Initialize(). When the malloc() or realloc() call fails,
-1 is returned and the existing table is unchanged.

Frozen packages are indicated by a negative size (the code string
is the __import__.py file). A frozen package module has its __path__
set to a string, the package name.
time can be in PyImport_ImportModuleEx(). Recursive calls from the
same thread are okay.
Potential problems:
- The lock should really be part of the interpreter state rather than
global, but that would require modifying more files, and I first want
to figure out whether this works at all.
- One could argue that the lock should be per module -- however that
would be complicated to implement. We would have to have a linked
list of locks per module name, *or* invent a new object type to
represent a lock, so we can store the locks in the module or in a
separate dictionary. Both seem unwarranted. The one situation where
this can cause problems is when loading a module takes a long time,
e.g. when the module's initialization code interacts with the user --
during that time, no other threads can run. I say, "too bad."
(modified) and use that.
Some differences in the cleanup algorithm:
- Clear __main__ before the other modules.
- Delete more sys variables: including ps1, ps2, exitfunc, argv, and
even path -- this will prevent new imports!
- Restore stdin, stdout, stderr from __stdin__, __stdout__,
__stderr__, effectively deleting hooks that the user might have
installed -- so their (the hooks') destructors will run.
This is an option for OS-es with case-insensitive but case-preserving
filesystems. It is currently supported for Win32 and MacOS. To
enable it, #define CHECK_IMPORT_CASE in your platform specific
config.h. It is enabled by default on those systems where it is
supported. On Win32, it can be disabled at runtime by setting the
environment variable PYTHONCASEOK (to any value).
When enabled, the feature checks that the case of the requested module
name matches that of the filename found in the filesystem, and raises
a NameError exception when they don't match.
pass it the true file. This is used to set __file__ properly, instead
of believing what the code object carries with it. (If the pointer
is NULL, the code object's co_filename is still used.)
(1) Explicitly clear __builtin__._ and sys.{last,exc}_* before
clearing anything else. These are common places where user values
hide and people complain when their destructors fail. Since the
modules containing them are deleted *last* of all, they would come too
late in the normal destruction order. Sigh.
(2) Add some debugging aid to cleanup (after a suggestion by Marc
Lemburg) -- print the names of the modules being cleaned, and (when
-vv is used) print the names of the variables being cleared.
now implement the following finalization strategy.
1. Whenever this code deletes a module, its directory is cleared
carefully, as follows:
- set all names to None that begin with exactly one underscore
- set all names to None that don't begin with two underscores
- clear the directory
2. Modules are deleted in the following order:
- modules with a reference count of 1, except __builtin__ or __sys__
- repeat until no more are found with a reference count of 1
- __main__ if it's still there
- all remaining modules except __builtin__ or sys
- sys
