tracing/line number table in except blocks.
Reflow long lines introduced by col_offset changes. Update test_ast
to handle new fields in excepthandler.
As note in Python.asdl says, we might want to rethink how attributes
are handled. Perhaps they should be the same as other fields, with
the primary difference being how they are defined for all types within
a sum.
Also fix asdl_c so that constructors with int fields don't fail when
passed a zero value.
- IMPORT_NAME takes an extra argument from the stack: the relativeness of
the import. Only passed to __import__ when it's not -1.
- __import__() takes an optional 5th argument for the same thing; it
__defaults to -1 (old semantics: try relative, then absolute)
- 'from . import name' imports name (be it module or regular attribute)
from the current module's *package*. Likewise, 'from .module import name'
will import name from a sibling to the current module.
- Importing from outside a package is not allowed; 'from . import sys' in a
toplevel module will not work, nor will 'from .. import sys' in a
(single-level) package.
- 'from __future__ import absolute_import' will turn on the new semantics
for import and from-import: imports will be absolute, except for
from-import with dots.
Includes tests for regular imports and importhooks, parser changes and a
NEWS item, but no compiler-package changes or documentation changes.
This was started by Mike Bland and completed by Guido
(with help from Neal).
This still needs a __future__ statement added;
Thomas is working on Michael's patch for that aspect.
There's a small amount of code cleanup and refactoring
in ast.c, compile.c and ceval.c (I fixed the lltrace
behavior when EXT_POP is used -- however I had to make
lltrace a static global).
breaks the parser module, because it adds the if/else construct as well as
two new grammar rules for backward compatibility. If no one else fixes
parsermodule, I guess I'll go ahead and fix it later this week.
The TeX code was checked with texcheck.py, but not rendered. There is
actually a slight incompatibility:
>>> (x for x in lambda:0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: iteration over non-sequence
changes into
>>> (x for x in lambda: 0)
File "<stdin>", line 1
(x for x in lambda: 0)

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Since there's no way the former version can be useful, it's probably a
bugfix ;)
Expand set of errors caught in set_context(). Some new errors, some
old error messages changed for consistency.
Fixed error checking in generator expression code. The first set of
tests were impossible condition given the grammar. In general, the
ast code uses REQ() for those sanity checks.
Fix some error handling for augmented assignments. As comments in the
code explain, set_context() ought to work here, but I got unexpected
crashes when I tried it. Should come back to this.
Add note to Grammar that yield expression is a special case.
Add doctest cases for SyntaxErrors raised by ast.c.
This change implements a new bytecode compiler, based on a
transformation of the parse tree to an abstract syntax defined in
Parser/Python.asdl.
The compiler implementation is not complete, but it is in stable
enough shape to run the entire test suite excepting two disabled
tests.
