dirname in sys.path. This means that you can create a symbolic link
foo in /usr/local/bin pointing to /usr/yourname/src/foo/foo.py, and
then invoking foo will insert /usr/yourname/src/foo in sys.path, not
/usr/local/bin. This makes it easier to have multifile programs
(before, the program would have to do an os.readlink(sys.argv[0])
itself and insert the resulting directory in sys.path -- Grail does
this).
Note that the expansion is only used for sys.path; sys.argv[0] is
still the original, unadorned filename (/usr/local/bin/foo in the
example).
2. Fix two bugs in complex():
- Memory leak when using complex(classinstance) -- r was never
DECREF'ed.
- Conversion of the second argument, if not complex, was done using
the type vector of the 1st.
recognized by the code generator and code generation for the test and
the subsequent suite is suppressed.
One must write *exactly* ``if __debug__:'' or ``elif __debug__:'' --
no parentheses or operators must be present, or the optimization is
not carried through. Whitespace doesn't matter. Other uses of
__debug__ will find __debug__ defined as 0 or 1 in the __builtin__
module.
