Fix some metaclasses, and the sys module can now be imported
Please wait a second before doing all these changes. You are changing the RPython code to be Python 3. Doing so is Yet Another option that we never really discussed so far: moving RPython to be "RPython 3". I suppose that, by now, we should really consider this as another possible option too; but we must definitely consider what it implies.
All these changes occur in strings that start with app = gateway.applevel(''' "NOT_RPYTHON" This code is not RPython, and is processed by the new compiler. Normally, the host python should not see this code. Anyway, I run cpython2.6 for my tests, which does not allow this new metaclass syntax. I agree that RPython should stay at version 2.x for the near future. For example, space.wrap("hello") takes a 8bit string and produces a W_Unicode... Thanks for looking at all this! -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc
