Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Objects In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv32521
Modified Files: listobject.c Log Message: Revert previous two checkins to repair test failure.
The special-case code that was removed could return a value indicating success but leave an exception set. test_fileinput failed in a debug build as a result.
If there's some value to the optimization I just removed, let's discuss it on python-dev. I could have fixed the new code, but it seems a lot of hairy new code with magic constants that only covered a few corner cases. The checkin message pointed to a python-list discussion that didn't have much real evidence in it. Jeremy
