SF patch [ 597919 ] compiler package and SET_LINENO 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.
