[Ironpython-users] __future__.py

[Dino Viehland]

The historic reason is that we supported running both w/ the std lib and without.  I don't think that's really a concern so the fake __future__ could be replaced with the real one from the std lib.

Jeff or Dino (or anyone else who might knows),

Is there any specific reason we aren't using the __future__.py directly from the stdlib? I ran into an issue today with doctest when it was extracting future flags, nested_scopes was not defined in the __future__.py that is located at Languages/IronPython/IronPython/Lib

It IS the correct __future__.py in the External.LCA_RESTRICTED/Languages/IronPython/27/Lib version though. When I copied the version from there to the other location, doctest ran correctly, so I was just wondering if there was something else that required a different __future__.py.

Thanks,

slide
