importlib._bootstrap is now frozen into Python/importlib.h and stored
as _frozen_importlib in sys.modules. Py_Initialize() loads the frozen
code along with sys and imp and then uses _frozen_importlib._install()
to set builtins.__import__() w/ _frozen_importlib.__import__().
The name must be encodable to ASCII because dynamic module must have a function
called "PyInit_NAME", they are written in C, and the C language doesn't accept
non-ASCII identifiers.
- is_builtin(), init_builtin(), load_builtin() and other builtin related
functions use Unicode strings, instead of byte strings
- Rename _PyImport_FixupExtensionUnicode() to _PyImport_FixupExtensionObject()
- Rename _PyImport_FindExtensionUnicode() to _PyImport_FindExtensionObject()
* Rename _PyImport_FindExtension() to _PyImport_FindExtensionUnicode():
the filename becomes a Unicode object instead of byte string
* Rename _PyImport_FixupExtension() to _PyImport_FixupExtensionUnicode():
the filename becomes a Unicode object instead of byte string
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.
When an extension imports another extension in its
initXXX() function, the variable _Py_PackageContext is
prematurely reset to NULL. If the outer extension then
calls Py_InitModule(), the extension is installed in
sys.modules without its package name. The
manifestation of this bug is a "SystemError:
_PyImport_FixupExtension: module <package>.<extension>
not loaded".
To fix this, importdl.c just needs to retain the old
value of _Py_PackageContext and restore it after the
initXXX() method is called. The attached patch does this.
This patch applies to Python 2.1.1 and the current CVS.
* 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
Duzan, for AIX, to support C++ objects with static initializers, when
using the genuine IBM C++ compiler (namely xlC/xlC_r).
