Nick Coghlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The patch actually isn't all that complicated - the main structural change to make it possible to process the strings correctly is converting the parser functions to have treat the flags argument as an I/O variable, rather than just an input. Other than that, there are just some fairly straightforward updates to the compiler to take advantage of the additional flag information now available from the parser.
Being able to write significant pieces of code that run on both 2.6 and 3.0 without modification will be a big win in my opinion. While 2to3 will still be a valuable migration tool, especially for one-way migrations, it will be far far easier to support 2.6 and 3.0 in parallel if that pseudo-compilation step isn't necessary. Also Christian - the posted patch accidentally included your hack to make the version info a bit more non-SVN checkout friendly. ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2477> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
