Long time no update. Oh well.
I seem to be accumulating some fairly major CPython changes in my tree of late. Here are the ones I remember:
- new-style exceptions (this one just needs some documentation and can then probably go in).
- removing the abuse of ob_size for longobject.c (this possibly needs some polishing, but first I'd rather know if it's generally considered a good idea).
- changes to the packing of floats to just copy bytes on platforms that appear to use IEEE-754 formats (this needs review, ideally, though I'm tempted to just check the blighter in)
- changes to marshal to use a binary format for floats (shouldn't go in until the above gets in, although it's not strictly dependent on it)
- some hacks towards restartable exceptions (I only did this in the last couple of days, and noone knows about it yet :)
I guess it would be more useful to try and check some of these in (or abandon the idea) before creating too many more...
