- Got rid of inspection of some environment variables.
- Got rid of Py_GetProgramName() and related logic.
- Print the version header *after* successful initialization.
for more!).
- The global flags that can be set from environment variables are now
set in Py_Initialize (except the silly Py_SuppressPrint, which no
longer exists). This saves duplicate code in frozenmain.c and main.c.
- Py_GetProgramName() is now here; added Py_SetProgramName(). An
embedding program should no longer provide Py_GetProgramName(),
instead it should call Py_SetProgramName() *before* calling
Py_Initialize().
PyThreadState pointer instead of a (frame) PyObject pointer. This
makes much more sense. It is backward incompatible, but that's no
problem, because (a) the heaviest users are the Py_{BEGIN,END}_
ALLOW_THREADS macros here, which have been fixed too; (b) there are
very few direct users; (c) those who use it are there will probably
appreciate the change.
Also, added new functions PyEval_AcquireThread() and
PyEval_ReleaseThread() which allows the threads created by the thread
module as well threads created by others (!) to set/reset the current
thread, and at the same time acquire/release the interpreter lock.
Much saner.
int+int, int-int, int <compareop> int, and list[int].
(Unfortunately, int*int is way too much code to inline.)
Also corrected a NULL that should have been a zero.
replaces its own entry in sys.module, reference count errors ensue;
even if there is no reference count problem, it would be preferable
for the import to yield the new thing in sys.modules anyway (if only
because that's what later imports will yield). This opens the road to
an official hack to implement a __getattr__ like feature for modules:
stick an instance in sys.modules[__name__].
have a unique name, otherwise they get squished by locals2fast (or
fast2locals, I dunno) when the debugger is invoked before they have
been transferred to real locals.
