Py_FatalError() from module initialization functions. The importing
mechanism already checks for PyErr_Occurred() after module importation
and it Does The Right Thing.
Unfortunately, the following either were not compiled or tested by the
regression suite, due to issues with my development platform:
almodule.c
cdmodule.c
mpzmodule.c
puremodule.c
timingmodule.c
Windows "inconsistent linkage" warnings at the same time. I agree
with Mark Hammond that the whole DL_IMPORT/DL_EXPORT macro system
needs an overhaul; this is just an expedient hack until then.
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 ;)
For more comments, read the patches@python.org archives.
For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.
(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode. I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)
names match the documentation.
Removed broken code that supports the __methods__ attribute on ast
objects; the right magic was added to Py_FindMethod() since this was
originally written. <ast-object>.__methods__ now works, so dir() and
rlcompleter are happy.
initparser()) instead of statically (in the initializer). The static
initialization, using the address of an object in a different DLL, is
too much for the Microsoft VC++ compiler, and we want to be able to
build this module as a separate DLL (it's nice to have but we don't
want to increase the core DLL's size by 25K). This same trick has
been applied to a number of modules, e.g. NumPy and _tkinter.
