This introduces a new function, imp.extension_suffixes(), which is
currently undocumented. That is forthcoming once issue #14657 is
resolved and how to expose file suffixes is decided.
expected entrypoint. The unlinking will crash the application if the
module contained ObjC code. The price of this is small: a little wasted
memory, and only in a case than isn't expected to occur often.
By default every module is imported in its own namespace, but this can
be changed by defining USE_DYLD_GLOBAL_NAMESPACE. In a future version this
define will be replaced by a runtime setting, but that needs a bit more
thought.
This code is largely based on code and feedback from Steven Majewski,
Marcel Prastawa, Manoj Plakal and other on pythonmac-sig.
still fail on importing modules that link with libraries that fail
their initialization code (such as windowing libraries when we don't have
access to the window server) and that is what I really wanted to fix.
same module twice, which apparently crashes Python. I could not test the
error condition, but in normal life it seems to have no adverse effects.
Also removed an unsued variable, and corrected 2 glaring errors (missing
'case' in front of a label).
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
* 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
file per platform (really: per style of Dl API; e.g. all platforms
using dlopen() are grouped together in dynload_shlib.c.).
This is part of a set of patches by Greg Stein.
