cases, plus even tougher tests of that. This implementation follows
the correctness proof very closely, and should also be quicker (yes,
I wrote the proof before the code, and the code proves the proof <wink>).
It was once available so that faster generators could be substituted. Now,
that is less necessary and preferrably done via subclassing.
Also, clarified and shortened the comments for sample().

1. Annotate the shell window with last restart boundary upon restart.
2. Provide a shell menu entry and hot key (F6) to jump to the last
restart boundary.
3. Add a new shell menu feature to restart the shell.
4. Update the help menu to add these features.
5. Update the help menu to put text in same order as the menus.
6. Correct a capitalization inconsistency on the Edit menu: Expand Word
7. Rename the "Debug" menu to be "Shell": it's doing more now.
8. Rearrange the "Shell" menu to make the StackViewer entries adjacent.
9. Add a get_geometry method to EditorWindow, which may be of use in
making window positions persisent.
10. Make <ctrl-v> the "Classic Windows" paste key.
11. Restore decorum on the Help menu by removing "Advice". As Guido said,
things will never be the same. Thanks, David!
Lesson learned: kids should not be allowed to use API's starting
with an underscore :-/
zipimport in 2.3a1 is even more broken than I thought: I attemped
to _PyString_Resize a string created by PyString_FromStringAndSize,
which fails for strings with length 0 or 1 since the latter returns
an interned string in those cases. This would cause a SystemError
with empty source files (and no matching pyc) in the zip archive.
I rewrote the offending code to simply allocate a new buffer and
avoid _PyString_Resize altogether.
Added a test that would've caught the problem.
because the test file, msg_26.txt which has \r\n line endings, was
getting munged by cvs, which knows to do line ending conversions for
text files. But we want \r\n to be preserved on all platforms, so we
cvs admin'd the file to be -kb (binary), which means we have to open
the file in binary mode to preserve these line ends. Hopefully this
will be the end of the thrashing on this issue (but probably not).
Test passes on *nix now, and Tim confirms it passes on Windows. We'll
leave it to Jack to test MacOS.
(or None) now. In 2.3a1 they could also return an int or long, but that
was an unhelpfully redundant leftover from an earlier version wherein
they couldn't return a timedelta. TOOWTDI.
the test set as it only tested with a zip archive in the current directory,
but it doesn't work at all for packages when the zip archive was specified
as an absolute path. It's a real embarrassing bug: a strchr call should
have been strrchr; fever apparently implies dyslexia.
Second stupid bug: the zipimport test failed with a name error
__importer__ (which I had renamed to __loader__ everywhere but here).
I would've sworn I ran the test after that change but that can't be true.
What I don't understand that noone reported a failing test_zipimport.py
before the release of 2.3a1.
suggestion from Guido, along with a formal correctness proof of the
trickiest bit. The intricacy of the proof reveals how delicate this
is, but also how robust the conclusion: correctness doesn't rely on
dst() returning +- one hour (not all real time zones do!), it only
relies on:
1. That dst() returns a (any) non-zero value if and only if daylight
time is in effect.
and
2. That the tzinfo subclass implements a consistent notion of time zone.
The meaning of "consistent" was a hidden assumption, which is now an
explicit requirement in the docs. Alas, it's an unverifiable (by the
datetime implementation) requirement, but so it goes.
understood now: it can't work. Added comments explaining why (it's "the
usual"-- unrepresentable hours in local time --but in a slightly different
guise).
Remove broken code in visitDict(). I assume the code was trying to
add set lineno events for each line of a dict constructor, but I think
it was using the wrong object (node instead of k or v).
A variety of changes from Michael Hudson to get the compiler working
with 2.3. The primary change is the handling of SET_LINENO:
# The set_lineno() function and the explicit emit() calls for
# SET_LINENO below are only used to generate the line number table.
# As of Python 2.3, the interpreter does not have a SET_LINENO
# instruction. pyassem treats SET_LINENO opcodes as a special case.
A few other small changes:
- Remove unused code from pycodegen and pyassem.
- Fix error handling in parsermodule. When PyParser_SimplerParseString()
fails, it sets an exception with detailed info. The parsermodule
was clobbering that exception and replacing it was a generic
"could not parse string" exception. Keep the original exception.
an idea from Guido. This restores that the datetime implementation
never passes a datetime d to a tzinfo method unless d.tzinfo is the
tzinfo instance whose method is being called. That in turn allows
enormous simplifications in user-written tzinfo classes (see the Python
sandbox US.py and EU.py for fully fleshed-out examples).
d.astimezone(tz) also raises ValueError now if d lands in the one hour
of the year that can't be expressed in tz (this can happen iff tz models
both standard and daylight time). That it used to return a nonsense
result always ate at me, and it turned out that it seemed impossible to
force a consistent nonsense result under the new implementation (which
doesn't know anything about how tzinfo classes implement their methods --
it can only infer properties indirectly). Guido doesn't like this --
expect it to change.
New tests of conversion between adjacent DST-aware timezones don't pass
yet, and are commented out.
Running the datetime tests in a loop under a debug build leaks 9
references per test run, but I don't believe the datetime code is the
cause (it didn't leak the last time I changed the C code, and the leak
is the same if I disable all the tests that invoke the only function
that changed here). I'll pursue that next.
any_missing() returns less bogus missing modules.
- I've rewritten scan_code() more or less from scratch,
factored bits and pieces out for readability.
- keep track of global assignments and failed imports per
module; use this to determine whether the Y in "from X
import Y" is a submodule or just a global name. This is not
100% doable: you can't tell which symbols are imported when
doing a star import of a non-Python module short of actually
importing it.
- added a new method to ModuleFinder: any_missing_maybe(),
which returns *two* lists, one with certain misses, one with
possible misses. The possible misses are *very* often false
alarms, so it's useful to keep this list separate.
any_misses() now simply returns the union of
any_missing_maybe().
