- Add Py_FrozenFlag, intended to suppress error messages fron
getpath.c in frozen binaries.
- Add Py_GetPythonHome() and Py_SetPythonHome(), intended to allow
embedders to force a different PYTHONHOME.
- Add new interface PyErr_PrintEx(flag); same as PyErr_Print() but
flag determines whether sys.last_* are set or not. PyErr_Print()
now simply calls PyErr_PrintEx(1).
(1) Explicitly clear __builtin__._ and sys.{last,exc}_* before
clearing anything else. These are common places where user values
hide and people complain when their destructors fail. Since the
modules containing them are deleted *last* of all, they would come too
late in the normal destruction order. Sigh.
(2) Add some debugging aid to cleanup (after a suggestion by Marc
Lemburg) -- print the names of the modules being cleaned, and (when
-vv is used) print the names of the variables being cleared.
now implement the following finalization strategy.
1. Whenever this code deletes a module, its directory is cleared
carefully, as follows:
- set all names to None that begin with exactly one underscore
- set all names to None that don't begin with two underscores
- clear the directory
2. Modules are deleted in the following order:
- modules with a reference count of 1, except __builtin__ or __sys__
- repeat until no more are found with a reference count of 1
- __main__ if it's still there
- all remaining modules except __builtin__ or sys
- sys
_ __builtin__
