interpretation of negative indices, since neither the sq_*item slots
nor the slot_ wrappers do this. (Slices are a different story, there
the size wrapping is done too early.)
Classes that don't use __slots__ have a __weakref__ member added in
the same way as __dict__ is added (i.e. only if the base didn't
already have one). Classes using __slots__ can enable weak
referenceability by adding '__weakref__' to the __slots__ list.
Renamed the __weaklistoffset__ class member to __weakrefoffset__ --
it's not always a list, it seems. (Is tp_weaklistoffset a historical
misnomer, or do I misunderstand this?)
- Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled
- check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions
- disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions
- add the types.StringTypes list
- remove Unicode literals from most tests.
the class dict). Anything but a nonnegative int in either place is
*ignored* (before, a non-Boolean was an error). The default is still
static -- in a comparative test, Jeremy's Tools/compiler package ran
twice as slow (compiling itself) using dynamic as the default. (The
static version, which requires a few tweaks to avoid modifying class
variables, runs at about the same speed as the classic version.)
slot_tp_descr_get(): this also needed fallback behavior.
slot_tp_getattro(): remove a debug fprintf() call.
the metatype passed in as an argument. This prevents infinite
recursion when a metatype written in Python calls type.__new__() as a
"super" call.
Also tweaked some comments.
calculate it on the fly. This way even modules with long package
names get an accurate repr instead of a truncated one. The extra
malloc/free cost shouldn't be a problem in a repr function.

- type_module(), type_name(): if tp_name contains one or more period,
the part before the last period is __module__, the part after that
is __name__. Otherwise, for non-heap types, __module__ is
"__builtin__". For heap types, __module__ is looked up in
tp_defined.
- type_new(): heap types have their __module__ set from
globals().__name__; a pre-existing __module__ in their dict is not
overridden. This is not inherited.
- type_repr(): if __module__ exists and is not "__builtin__", it is
included in the string representation (just as it already is for
classes). For example <type '__main__.C'>.
- descrobject.c:descr_check(): only believe None means the same as
NULL if the type given is None's type.
- typeobject.c:wrap_descr_get(): don't "conventiently" default an
absent type to the type of the object argument. Let the called
function figure it out.
types -- currently Type, List, None and NotImplemented. To be called
from Py_Initialize() instead of accumulating calls there.
Also rename type(None) to NoneType and type(NotImplemented) to
NotImplementedType -- naming the type identical to the object was
confusing.
returns that. (This fix is also by MvL; checkin it in because I want
to make more changes here. I'm still not 100% satisfied -- see
comments attached to the patch.)
operators for which a default implementation exist now work, both in
dynamic classes and in static classes, overridden or not. This
affects __repr__, __str__, __hash__, __contains__, __nonzero__,
__cmp__, and the rich comparisons (__lt__ etc.). For dynamic
classes, this meant copying a lot of code from classobject! (XXX
There are still some holes, because the comparison code in object.c
uses PyInstance_Check(), meaning new-style classes don't get the
same dispensation. This needs more thinking.)
- Add object.__hash__, object.__repr__, object.__str__. The __str__
dispatcher now calls the __repr__ dispatcher, as it should.
- For static classes, the tp_compare, tp_richcompare and tp_hash slots
are now inherited together, or not at all. (XXX I fear there are
still some situations where you can inherit __hash__ when you
shouldn't, but mostly it's OK now, and I think there's no way we can
get that 100% right.)
setting and deleting a function's __dict__ attribute. Deleting
it, or setting it to a non-dictionary result in a TypeError. Note
that getting it the first time magically initializes it to an
empty dict so that func.__dict__ will always appear to be a
dictionary (never None).
Closes SF bug #446645.
The descr changes moved the dispatch for calling objects from
call_object() in ceval.c to PyObject_Call() in abstract.c.
call_object() and the many functions it used in ceval.c were no longer
used, but were not removed.
Rename meth_call() as PyCFunction_Call() so that it can be called by
the CALL_FUNCTION opcode in ceval.c.
Also, fix error message that referred to PyEval_EvalCodeEx() by its
old name eval_code2(). (I'll probably refer to it by its old name,
too.)
XXX There are still some loose ends: repr(), str(), hash() and
comparisons don't inherit a default implementation from object. This
must be resolved similarly to the way it's resolved for classic
instances.
XXX This is not sufficient: if a dynamic class has no __repr__ method
(for instance), but later one is added, that doesn't add a tp_repr
slot, so repr() doesn't call the __repr__ method. To make this work,
I'll have to add default implementations of several slots to 'object'.
XXX Also, dynamic types currently only inherit slots from their
dominant base.
problem). inherit_slots() is split in two parts: inherit_special()
which inherits the flags and a few very special members from the
dominant base; inherit_slots() which inherits only regular slots,
and is now called for each base in the MRO in turn. These are now
both void functions since they don't have error returns.
- Added object.__setitem__() back -- for the same reason as
object.__new__(): a subclass of object should be able to call
object.__new__().
- add_wrappers() was moved around to be closer to where it is used (it
was defined together with add_methods() etc., but has nothing to do
with these).
