import.c from JaapV

document os.exec*

name sunaudiodevmodule.c is too long

play with / include SUIT interface

make regsub.[g]sub() optionally case insensitive

handle printing of errors in lines containing multiline strings

======================================================================

- ought to use features from autoconf 1.8

(*) errors in __repr__() are handled wrong when called from format

- long(0x80000000) has wrong value!

- hex(0x80000000) shouldn't have sign (?)

- need way to set buffering at file open time

- need way to force stdout unbuffered

- document new modules (builtin as well as Lib)

- restart CVS tree

- build shared libs for SunOS 4.1.3

- Mac X... code resources as shared libs?

- X patches from Adrian Phillips

(*) Jaap's freeze script

Incorporate with contrib status:
- additions to glmodule by rg3h
- Jaap's posixfile module (with locking)
- pthreads interface

Later:
- put the offending object in IOError and posix.error
- make module marshal work with user-defined file-like objects
- built-in help?
- hierarchical module names?

Big plans:

- allow separate interpreters (a la Xt's Applocation Contexts, and Tcl)
- great renaming
- complete reflexive nature of the language, e.g. have interfaces et
create any kind of object
- GUI interface a la Tk

For FAQ:

why don't strings (numbers, tuples, ...) have methods / attributes

why are strings / numbers / tuples immutable

why don't list methods return self

======================================================================
PM/TODO list after Egypt (from mailing list):

make .pyc files executable (how?)

thread status and improvements (lock stmt; signal/wait)

optional optimizations

pthread migration

(*) test/incorporate new SUIT

shorten excessively long filenames (sunaudiodevmodule.c)

(*) default parameter values

multiple interpreter objects

(*) import shlib bug (irix5.2) (reload, dlclose)

(*) addpack.py

newmodule.c (or other hacks to create new modules, classes, functions
etc. from their components)

persistency

new Dbhash.py, dbhash library

reraise; or raise 3rd param for traceback?
-or- except type, value, tbackobjec

redesign exceptions from scratch?

dbm objects miss items(), values() methods

jar's new profile

answer q about coerce()

reconsider pass [expression] ??? -or- don't print non-interactive
exprs -or- option to suppress printing non-None expressions

should be able to hash code objs (add fns to convert between lists/tuples)

describe() ?

distribute demo2 with Holmes

(*) re-reply on try-continue

classes are too slow

add += etc. ?

optimize tuple = tuple

allow (a, b) = [1, 2] and [1, 2] = (1, 2) ???

wustl is not un the northwest of the US?

(*) MPW doesn't like \000 in string literals?

MPW patches, unixemu patches

prepare tar files with
	- mac think projects (*)
	- mpw makefiles
	- dos makefiles
	- mac unixemu lib

explain rules about == vs. 'is' for strings (* by others on the list)

(*) bug in ceval.c DELETE_FAST

(*) possible optimize LOAD_NAME -> LOAD_GLOBAL

get dos python with suit (inesc)

(*) docs for try/continue are wrong and unclear

better hashing fn?

(*) add improved nested indent to python-mode.el

add a section to tutorial on "new" features

rewrite section on formatting in tutorial

======================================================================
TODO-TOO list:

test for overflow when converting python long to float

lift restrictions on tuple or list in many cases

allow long ints with sensible values for getargs "i"

multiline string literals

what to do about 64-bit int literals (on 64-bit machines) in .pyc
files?  (Currently truncated w/o warning!)

DOCUMENTATION UPDATE!  E.g. ref.tex doesn't describe:
	- line joins w/o backslash
	- double-quoted strings; \" in strings
	- more?
Should double-check all changes with docs!

Interrupting output still sometimes doesn't call clearerr() properly

sometimes ghost errors when interrupting during debugging in
'continue' mode?

typing a comment to a primary prompt shouldn't issue a secondary prompt

readline: add hooks to recognize Python syntax and to expand Python
commands and names

should have absolute pathnames in function objects

in general check that all the exceptions are modernized and that the
messages aren't giving the same error twice (e.g., stdwinmodule.c!)

- check read/write allowed for file objects

- introduce macros to set/inspect errno for syscalls, to support things
  like getoserr()

======================================================================
DOS/Windows Python

command line options?

os.system()

interrupts

wrap

pc module

dospath.py

DOS/Windows Python -- TO DO

memtest from config.h

copy sources back

build DOS version

distribute 386 version

Mac 1.0.1 release?
