This is an option for OS-es with case-insensitive but case-preserving
filesystems. It is currently supported for Win32 and MacOS. To
enable it, #define CHECK_IMPORT_CASE in your platform specific
config.h. It is enabled by default on those systems where it is
supported. On Win32, it can be disabled at runtime by setting the
environment variable PYTHONCASEOK (to any value).
When enabled, the feature checks that the case of the requested module
name matches that of the filename found in the filesystem, and raises
a NameError exception when they don't match.
pass it the true file. This is used to set __file__ properly, instead
of believing what the code object carries with it. (If the pointer
is NULL, the code object's co_filename is still used.)
- 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__
