function names, dbetter (hopefully) ocstrings, and comments.

/export option mini-kludge.

  * don't need to mention python<ver>.lib -- it's done by a pragma
  * add debug flags for compile and link, and use them
  * fix 'link_shared_library()' to pass everything to 'link_shared_object()'
  * change filename when shared object with debug info (ugh)

* prints out examples of nodes that are handled by visitor.  simply a
  development convenience

remove NestedCodeGenerator -- it was bogus after all
replace with generateFunctionCode, a method to call to generate code
  for a function instead of a top-level module

fix impl of visitDiscard (most pop stack)
emit lineno for pass

handle the following new node types: Import, From, Getattr, Subscript,
Slice, AssAttr, AssTuple, Mod, Not, And, Or, List

LocalNameFinder: remove names declared as globals for locals

PythonVMCode: pass arg names to constructor, force varnames to contain
them all (even if they aren't referenced)

add -q option on command line to disable stdout

to fallback to if the user doesn't set it for those commands.

  someone who knows Windows/MSVC++ to come along and add the right flags.
Comment noting that 'link_static_lib()' signature is inconsistent with
  the other compiler classes (uh-oh!)

'-g' flag to compiler/linker command lines when it's true.

Doc fix: several paragraphs under 'link_static_lib()' moved to
  'link_shared_lib()', where they belong.

VERBOSE setting for the ASTVisitor

add getopt handling for one or more -v args

rename ForwardRef to StackRef, because it isn't necessarily directional

CodeGenerator:
* add assertStackEmpty method.  prints warning if stack is not empty
  when it should be
* define methods for AssName, UNARY_*, For

PythonVMCode:
* fix mix up between hasjrel and hasjabs for address calculation

language.

CodeGenerator:
* modify to track stack depth
* add emit method that call's PythonVMCode's makeCodeObject
* thread filenames through in hackish way
* set flags for code objects for modules and functions
  XXX the docs for the flags seem out of date and/or incomplete

PythonVMCode:
* add doc string describing the elements of a real code object

LineAddrTable:
* creates an lnotab (no quite correctly though)

add varargs and kwargs attributes to Function nodes

_init_nt():  Use get_config_h_filename() instead of figuring out the
             name directly.

             g['SO'] should be set to '.pyd'.

             Adjust some minor coding nits.

harder to find the MSVC compiler (mainly by using the registry).

database is closed.  Raise gdbm.error instead.

Bug report #198 submitted by Barry Haddow <bhaddow@orbism.com>.

it should raise gdbm.error.

for the other projects, to move the x86 project names back to what
they were.

Typo fix.

in the current distribution: motivated by PIL's libImaging.

      Attached is patch (against 1.5.2 release) to allow some modules
to be buildable as pyd's (usual &PyType_Type stuff).

handle most of the language syntax yet)

create NestedCodeGenerator used to generator the separate code object
that needs to be passed as an argument to MAKE_FUNCTION when a def
stmt is found (probably useful for class too)

change CodeGenerator.visitFunction to use the NestedCG

add CompiledModule class to handle creation of .pyc (pretty minimal
for now)

add makeCodeObject method to PythonVMCode that replaces symbolic names
with indexes into slots of the code code.  the design of this
class will probably need to be revised.

*this* set of patches is Ka-Ping's final sweep:

The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules
have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries.

A new docstring was added to formatter.  The docstring for os.py
was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.

Here is batch 2, as a big collection of CVS context diffs.
Along with moving comments into docstrings, i've added a
couple of missing docstrings and attempted to make sure more
module docstrings begin with a one-line summary.

I did not add docstrings to the methods in profile.py for
fear of upsetting any careful optimizations there, though
i did move class documentation into class docstrings.

The convention i'm using is to leave credits/version/copyright
type of stuff in # comments, and move the rest of the descriptive
stuff about module usage into module docstrings.  Hope this is
okay.

ActiveState, I suppose he overrides Trent. :-)
