* Doc/ref7.tex (section{Function definitions}): describe default

parameter values

* Lib/test/test_grammar.py: added grammar variants for default

argument expressions

* Python/compile.c: compile default argument values (com_argdefs

plus related stuff)

* Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_apply): require that the argument

list is a tuple

* Misc/python-mode.el: change by Donald Beaudry to

py-compute-indentation; and fix to that by Sjoerd

Wed Apr 13 10:08:33 1994 Guido van Rossum ([email protected])

* Python/ceval.c (eval_code): implement SET_FUNC_ARGS opcode

* Include/opcode.h: added SET_FUNC_ARGS opcode

* Objects/funcobject.c (newfuncobject, func_memberlist): added

func_argcount and func_argdefs fields and {get,set}funcargstuff()

functions.

* Include/funcobject.h: Added func_argcount and func_argdefs

fields and {get,set}funcargstuff() functions.

* Python/import.c (init_builtin): Give error message if module's

initialization function is NULL (e.g. for 'sys').

(get_module): Give error message if reloading a dynamically

loadable module.

(reload_module): Give error message if reloading a built-in

module; correctly (I hope) reload a frozen module.

* Doc/ref6.tex (break and continue): rephrase definition of

restrictions on where these may occur; change rules for continue

to match implementation.

* Doc/ref4.tex (section{Code blocks, execution frames, and name

spaces}): fix definition of what's local to include deleted

targets; added footnote describing exec and from - import *

restriction.

* Lib/dis.py: added LOAD_GLOBALS and EXEC_STMT to list of opcodes.

* Lib/{pdb,profile,bdb,codehack,stdwin/wdb}.py:

codehack.getcodename() is obsolete now we have co.co_name; same

for getfuncname(): f.func_name. Module codehack is still needed

for getlineno(), used in profile and pdb

defined; in the SGI version, don't use signals if exit_prog is

threads.

defined
