Issue #24268: Fix import naming when loading extension modules. Patch by Petr Viktorin.

2015-05-23T21:13:41+00:00

PEP 489: Multi-phase extension module initialization

2015-05-23T12:24:10+00:00

Known limitations of the current implementation:

- documentation changes are incomplete
- there's a reference leak I haven't tracked down yet

The leak is most visible by running:

  ./python -m test -R3:3 test_importlib

However, you can also see it by running:

  ./python -X showrefcount

Importing the array or _testmultiphase modules, and
then deleting them from both sys.modules and the local
namespace shows significant increases in the total
number of active references each cycle. By contrast,
with _testcapi (which continues to use single-phase
initialisation) the global refcounts stabilise after
a couple of cycles.

Issue #13959: Re-implement imp.get_suffixes() in Lib/imp.py.

2012-05-04T19:20:40+00:00

This introduces a new function, imp.extension_suffixes(), which is
currently undocumented. That is forthcoming once issue #14657 is
resolved and how to expose file suffixes is decided.

Issue #14040: Remove rarely used file name suffixes for C extensions (under POSIX mainly).

2012-02-20T18:41:11+00:00

This will improve import performance a bit (especially under importlib).

dynload_dl.c: replace tabs by spaces

Issue #3080: Remove unused argument of _PyImport_GetDynLoadFunc()

2011-02-22T23:16:19+00:00

The first argument, fqname, was not used.

Implement PEP 3121: new module initialization and finalization API.

2008-06-11T05:26:20+00:00

Use PyOS_snprintf instead of sprintf.

2001-11-28T20:42:20+00:00

REMOVED all CWI, CNRI and BeOpen copyright markings.

2000-09-01T23:29:29+00:00

This should match the situation in the 1.6b1 tree.

ANSIfy as many declarations as possible.
