Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This PEP describes the Python 2.0 release schedule, tracking the
|
|
|
|
|
|
status and ownership of the major new features, summarizes
|
|
|
|
|
|
discussions held in mailing list forums, and provides URLs for
|
|
|
|
|
|
further information, patches, and other outstanding issues. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
CVS revision history of this file contains the definitive
|
|
|
|
|
|
historical record.

* SyntaxError enhancements - Fredrik Lundh
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* interface to poll system call - Andrew Kuchling
|
|
|
|
|
|
An OO interface to the poll system call will be added to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
select module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Compression of Unicode database - Fredrik Lundh

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* SRE - Fredrik Lundh
|
|
|
|
|
|
The test suite still fails on test_re.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* snprintf - owner???
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use snprintf to avoid buffer overflows. Need configure hackery
|
|
|
|
|
|
to discovery if it is available on the current platform and a
|
|
|
|
|
|
default implementation if it is not.

|
|
|
|
|
|
This function is expected to be part of C9X (check).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for opcode arguments > 2**16 - Charles Waldman
|
|
|
|
|
|
Source files longer than 32K and sequences with more than 32K
|
|
|
|
|
|
elements both fail because opcode arguments are limited to
|
|
|
|
|
|
16-bit values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Range literals - Thomas Wouters
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make range(1, 10, 2) == [1:10:2]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open: proposed but not accepted or declined
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* List comprehensions - Tim Peters?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Need a coherent proposal. Lots of confusing discussion going
|
|
|
|
|
|
on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Eliminated SET_LINENO opcode - Vladimir Marangozov
|
|
|
|
|
|
Small optimization achieved by using the code object's lnotab
|
|
|
|
|
|
instead of the SET_LINENO instruction. Uses code rewriting
|
|
|
|
|
|
technique (that Guido's growns on) to support debugger, which
|
|
|
|
|
|
uses SET_LINENO.
