Hasn't backward compatibility already been broken for 2.0? So why not break it a little more?
Sure -- within reason.
Ok folks. I've uploaded an updated patch on SF against CVS if you want to play with it. IDLE, at least, seems to be happy. I'm not sure whether something else relies on f.lineno and whether it is now broken because of the lack of lineno updates. (Note that you need to delete your .pyc files so that the compiler can regenerate the code without SET_LINENO; if SET_LINENO are in the code, you wouldn't see any difference...) -- Vladimir MARANGOZOV | Vladimir.Marangozov@inrialpes.fr http://sirac.inrialpes.fr/~marangoz | tel:(+33-4)76615277 fax:76615252
