Congratulations Victor,  From what I saw it looked like it was a lot of work.



I don't suppose you could take a look at this issue also?

            http://bugs.python.org/issue9319

(If not, maybe someone else can.)


When pydoc uses imp to search for modules it runs across a test file with a 
bad BOM.  Which then causes a segfault.

ra at Gutsy:~/svn/py3k$ ./python
Python 3.2a3+ (py3k:85719, Oct 18 2010, 22:32:47)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> help('modules ""')

Here is a list of matching modules.  Enter any module name to get more help.

Segmentation fault


Or more directly...

 >>> import imp
 >>> imp.find_module('test/badsyntax_pep3120')
Segmentation fault


I believe it should issue a SyntaxError instead.

Thanks,
