I've completed the _ast module, fully implementing all classes from the CPython module for Python 2.5. In the end the only way to do it was as a patch to IronPython, partly because creating an ast from source is done through the compile() builtin, but also because someone did an optimization on GeneratorExpression that gave no public interface to the syntax info. I patched GeneratorExpression to provide the same public interface as ListComprehension, while making sure not to affect the optimization. So now you have a 2500 lines of code patch for IronPython that you cannot yet accept. What's the situation here? How long is this likely to remain a problem (with the answer so dependent on lawyers I'm not optimisitc)
It's way too late for this to end up in 2.0, but I was hoping for 2.1. And if I supply a python doctest with the patch is that even useful to you guys in your testing harness? -Dan _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
