__init__.py module to raise errors which can be catched as LookupErrors
as well as SystemErrors.

Modified the error messages to include more information about the
failing module.

float (compare the recent checkin to complex).  Added tests for these.

instance.

Split a string comparison test in two halves, replacing "a==b==a" with
separate tests for a==b and b==a.  (Reason: while experimenting, this
test failed, and I wanted to know if it was the first or the second ==
operator that failed.)

complex_coerce() would never be called with a complex argument,
because PyNumber_Coerce[Ex] doesn't bother calling the type's coercion
method if the values already have the same type.  But now, of course,
it's possible to pass an instance of a complex *subtype*, and those
must be accepted.

If the tp_compare slot is the slot used for overrides in Python,
it's always called.

Add some tests that show what should work too.

only safely call a type's tp_compare slot if the second argument is
also an instance of the same type.  I hate to think what
e.g. int_compare() would do with a second argument that's a float!

an empty match at the previous location, SRE didn't.

Fixed by keeping a readahead buffer containing the next line.

upon attempted attribute assignment.  Caught by MWH, SF bug #462522.

on file.__methods__.  Since the docs say "This module will become obsolete
in a future release", this is just a quick hack to stop it from blowing
up.  If you care about this module, test it!  It doesn't make much sense
on Windows.

(AttributeError, TypeError) -- the leniency wasn't needed everywhere.

descriptors for each attribute.  The getattr() implementation is
similar to PyObject_GenericGetAttr(), but delegates to im_self instead
of looking in __dict__; I couldn't do this as a wrapper around
PyObject_GenericGetAttr().

XXX A problem here is that this is a case of *delegation*.  dir()
doesn't see exactly the same attributes that are actually defined;
e.g. if the delegate is a Python function object, it supports
attributes like func_code etc., but these are not visible to dir(); on
the other hand, dynamic function attributes (stored in the function's
__dict__) *are* visible to dir().  Maybe we need a mechanism to tell
dir() about the delegation mechanism?  I vaguely recall seeing a
request in the newsgroup for a more formal definition of attribute
delegation too.  Sigh, time for a new PEP.

  to raise TypeError.  In practice, a disallowed attribute assignment
  can raise either TypeError or AttributeError (and it's unclear which
  is better).  So allow either.  (Yes, this is in anticipation of a
  code change that switches the exception raised. :-)

- Add a utility function, cantset(), which verifies that setting a
  particular attribute to a given value is disallowed, and also that
  deleting that same attribute is disallowed.  Use this in the
  test_func_*() tests.

- Add a new set of tests that test conformance of various instance
  method attributes.  (Also in anticipation of code that changes their
  implementation.)

Tim when he fixed something I missed because of the missed dependency

Add it back to the list of tests we expect to skip on Windows.

Also raise TestSkipped (intead of appearing to fail) if the import lock
is held.

This uses the new "restricted" feature of structmember, and getset
descriptors for some of the type checks.

compile() becomes replacement for builtin compile()
compileFile() generates a .pyc from a .py
both are exported in __init__

compiler.parse() gets optional second argument to specify compilation
mode, e.g. single, eval, exec

Add AbstractCompileMode as parent class and Module, Expression, and
Interactive as concrete subclasses.  Each corresponds to a compilation
mode.

THe AbstractCompileMode instances in turn delegate to CodeGeneration
subclasses specialized for their particular functions --

InteractiveCodeGenerator.
