value for it, as suggested in bug #129854. This prevents an old
PYTHONPATH confusing setup.py (say, if it results in Python finding
an old version of the Distutils)
of nested functions. Either is allowed in a function if it contains
no defs or lambdas or the defs and lambdas it contains have no free
variables. If a function is itself nested and has free variables,
either is illegal.
Revise the symtable to use a PySymtableEntryObject, which holds all
the revelent information for a scope, rather than using a bunch of
st_cur_XXX pointers in the symtable struct. The changes simplify the
internal management of the current symtable scope and of the stack.
Added new C source file: Python/symtable.c. (Does the Windows build
process need to be updated?)
As part of these changes, the initial _symtable module interface
introduced in 2.1a2 is replaced. A dictionary of
PySymtableEntryObjects are returned.
trigger my arbitrary exlusion rule, which is: takes more than 10
seconds of wall clock time on my machine. If these tests are going to
be skipped, then a boatload of slower tests should be skipped, too.
run setup.py with the --install-platlib flag so you can override
'prefix' when running make (e.g. make prefix=/tmp/python/usr/local install)
Instead of using mkdir to create directories, use install -d (mkdir -p
apparently isn't portable)
Emacs make-mode reported line 371 as suspicious; removed the whitespace from
that line.
