string in the argument to execfile() so a Windows temp directory
named, e.g. c:\\tmp doesn't get interpreted as a file name with an
embedded tab! (given by C. Waldman).
InteractiveInterpreter, which handles parsing and interpreter state
but doesn't know deal with buffering or prompting or input file
naming. And a derived class, InteractiveConsole, which adds buffering
and prompting and supports setting the filename once. Also tweak the
algorithm in compile_command() a bit so that input consisting of all
blank lines or comments always succeeds immediately, and note the fact
that apart from SyntaxError it can also raise OverflowError.
this string should not end with whitespace.
(py-compute-indentation): Append whitespace regexp to
py-block-comment-prefix so that any combination of intervening
whitespace will be recognized.
Windows. If sys.stdin doesn't appear to be a real file (characterized
by having a working fileno()), don't use any console specific methods
-- go straight to the default.
function is only used when running the calibration code, and it turns
out that recent changes in the timing code caused this statement to
raise an exception.
there's an __getinitargs__() method), if a TypeError occurs, catch and
reraise it but add info to the error about the class name being
instantiated. This makes debugging a lot easier if __getinitargs__()
returns something bogus (e.g. a string instead of a singleton tuple).
initialization of class exceptions. Specifically:
init_class_exc(): This function now returns an integer status of the
class exception initialization. No fatal errors in this method now.
Also, use PySys_WriteStderr() when writing error messages. When an
error occurs in this function, 0 is returned, but the partial creation
of the exception classes is not undone (this happens elsewhere).
Things that could trigger the fallback:
- exceptions.py fails to be imported (due to syntax error, etc.)
- one of the exception classes is missing (e.g. due to library
version mismatch)
- exception class can't be inserted into __builtin__'s dictionary
- MemoryError instance can't be pre-allocated
- some other PyErr_Occurred
newstdexception(): Changed the error message. This is still a fatal
error because if the string based exceptions can't be created, we
really can't continue.
initerrors(): Be sure to xdecref the .exc field, which might be
non-NULL if class exceptions init was aborted.
_PyBuiltin_Init_2(): If class exception init fails, print a warning
message and reinstate the string based exceptions.
and without a message number argument: the argument was called 'msg'
but the code expected it to be called 'which'. In line with the other
methods, I've renamed the argument to 'which', and adapted the doc
string not to refer to 'msg'.
