This commit contains the implementation of PEP570: Python positional-only parameters.
* Update Grammar/Grammar with new typedarglist and varargslist
* Regenerate grammar files
* Update and regenerate AST related files
* Update code object
* Update marshal.c
* Update compiler and symtable
* Regenerate importlib files
* Update callable objects
* Implement positional-only args logic in ceval.c
* Regenerate frozen data
* Update standard library to account for positional-only args
* Add test file for positional-only args
* Update other test files to account for positional-only args
* Add News entry
* Update inspect module and related tests
* Properly handle SyntaxErrors in Python source files.
SyntaxErrors in the target module will rise normally, while SyntaxErrors in dependencies will be added to badmodules. This includes a new regression test.
* Fix name collision bug.
This fixes an issue where a "fromlist" import with the same name as a previously failed import would be incorrectly added to badmodules. This includes a new regression test.
* Replace mutable default values.
Bound empty lists have been replaced with the "if param is None" idiom.
* Replace deprecated imp usage.
Constants imported from imp have been moved to private module-level constants, and ModuleFinder.find_module has been refactored to use importlib. Other than an improvement on how frozen builtin imports are reported (as the frozen imports they are, rather than the stdlib modules they *may* have originated from), these changes maintain complete compatibility with past versions... including odd behavior for returning relative (below current directory, but not a C extension) vs. absolute (above current directory, or a C extension) paths.
Patch by Brandt Bucher.
Python now supports checking bytecode cache up-to-dateness with a hash of the
source contents rather than volatile source metadata. See the PEP for details.
While a fairly straightforward idea, quite a lot of code had to be modified due
to the pervasiveness of pyc implementation details in the codebase. Changes in
this commit include:
- The core changes to importlib to understand how to read, validate, and
regenerate hash-based pycs.
- Support for generating hash-based pycs in py_compile and compileall.
- Modifications to our siphash implementation to support passing a custom
key. We then expose it to importlib through _imp.
- Updates to all places in the interpreter, standard library, and tests that
manually generate or parse pyc files to grok the new format.
- Support in the interpreter command line code for long options like
--check-hash-based-pycs.
- Tests and documentation for all of the above.
The concept of .pyo files no longer exists. Now .pyc files have an
optional `opt-` tag which specifies if any extra optimizations beyond
the peepholer were applied.
To make sure there is no issue with code that is both Python 2 and 3
compatible, there are no plans to remove the module any sooner than
Python 4 (unless the community moves to Python 3 solidly before then).
importlib.machinery that provide the suffix details for import.
The attributes were not put on imp so as to compartmentalize
everything importlib needs for setting up imports in
importlib.machinery.
This also led to an indirect deprecation of inspect.getmoduleinfo() as
it directly returned imp.get_suffix's returned tuple which no longer
makes sense.
