#17115,17116: Have modules initialize the package and loader

Sat, 04 May 2013 13:56:58 -0400

#17115,17116: Have modules initialize the __package__ and __loader__
attributes to None.

The long-term goal is for people to be able to rely on these
attributes existing and checking for None to see if they have been
set. Since import itself sets these attributes when a loader does not
the only instances when the attributes are None are from someone
overloading __import__() and not using a loader or someone creating a
module from scratch.

This patch also unifies module initialization. Before you could have
different attributes with default values depending on how the module
object was created. Now the only way to not get the same default set
of attributes is to circumvent initialization by calling
ModuleType.__new__() directly.

I've also updated the cygwin compiler module for VS 2005 and VS 2008. It works with VS 2005 but I'm unable to test it with VS 2008. We have to wait for a new version of cygwin.

Merging the py3k-pep3137 branch back into the py3k branch.

Tue, 06 Nov 2007 21:34:58 +0000

Merging the py3k-pep3137 branch back into the py3k branch.
No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch. The most obvious changes:

- str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
- bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
- PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.

I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.

The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like. Some changes are still on the to-do list.

Patch #1272, by Christian Heimes and Alexandre Vassalotti.

Patch #1272, by Christian Heimes and Alexandre Vassalotti.
Changes to make __file__ a proper Unicode object, using the default
filesystem encoding.
This is a bit tricky because the default filesystem encoding isn't
set by the time we import the first modules; at that point we fudge
things a bit. This is okay since __file__ isn't really used much
except for error reporting.
Tested on OSX and Linux only so far.

Make identifiers str (not str8) objects throughout.

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 09:51:05 +0000

Make identifiers str (not str8) objects throughout.
This affects the parser, various object implementations,
and all places that put identifiers into C string literals.

In testing, a number of crashes occurred as code would
fail when the recursion limit was reached (such as the
Unicode interning dictionary having key/value pairs where
key is not value). To solve these, I added an overflowed
flag, which allows for 50 more recursions after the
limit was reached and the exception was raised, and
a recursion_critical flag, which indicates that recursion
absolutely must be allowed, i.e. that a certain call
must not cause a stack overflow exception.

There are still some places where both str and str8 are
accepted as identifiers; these should eventually be
removed.

Add functions PyUnicode_Append() and PyUnicode_AppendAndDel() that mirror
PyString_Concat() and PyString_ConcatAndDel() (the name PyUnicode_Concat()
was already taken).

Change PyObject_Repr() to always return a unicode object.

Update all repr implementations to return unicode objects.

Add a function PyObject_ReprStr8() that calls PyObject_Repr() and converts
the result to an 8bit string.

Use PyObject_ReprStr8() where using PyObject_Repr() can't be done
straightforward.

Fri, 27 Apr 2007 23:53:51 +0000

Checkpoint. Manipulated things so that string literals are always
unicode, and a few other compensating changes, e.g. str <- unicode,
chr <- unichr, and repr() of a unicode string no longer starts
with 'u'. Lots of unit tests are broken, but some basic things
work, in particular distutils works so the extensions can be built,
and test_builtin.py works.

Sat, 15 Apr 2006 21:47:09 +0000

Use Py_VISIT in all tp_traverse methods, instead of traversing manually or
using a custom, nearly-identical macro. This probably changes how some of
these functions are compiled, which may result in fractionally slower (or
faster) execution. Considering the nature of traversal, visiting much of the
address space in unpredictable patterns, I'd argue the code readability and
maintainability is well worth it ;P
