- - Use objects with attributes in place of tuples of values for
- return values in several places in the library. Two specific
- APIs which could use this treatment include os.stat() and
- os.statvfs(); see SourceForge bug #111481:
-
- http://www.python.org/sf/211481
-
- which shows very specifically why this approach is better than
- the tuple approach: additional attributes can be added as needed
- without having as detrimental an affect on existing code.
-
- os.rename() should be modified to handle EXDEV errors on
platforms that don't allow rename() to operate across filesystem

! Tools
! - IDLE should reload & recompile modules changed externally. To
! be done properly, scripts will have to be run in a separate
! process.

! - Python could use a GUI builder.
! http://www.python.org/sf/210820
! - IDLE's key bindings should be revised. Some of the advertised
! bindings don't even work!
! http://www.python.org/sf/210659
! - IDLE has deep problems running threaded programs. Re-architect.
! http://www.python.org/sf/221963
- - Would be nice if IDLE showed which structure was being closed upon
- typing one of "})]". Heck, a string too, for that matter.
- The bug report also says something about TAB I didn't grok.

! Building and Installing
! - You should be able to configure and build Python with a

! See this bug report for a specific suggestion that will allow a

! build with MSVC.
! - Add unsigneds to ParseTuple/BuildValue (due to David Beazley)
! Since "integers" can now have arbitrary precision and can
! represent large unsigned values, can you add three new format
! characters to PyArg_ParseTuple() and Py_BuildValue() for the C
! datatypes "unsigned int", "unsigned long", and "unsigned long
! long"?
! The "u" and "l" namespace is a little crowded (and I don't think
! you would want to break that). However, here's one idea:
! 'I' - unsigned int (consistent with H and B)
! 'p' - unsigned long ('p' is for positive)
! 'P' - unsigned long long
