* Second phase of refactoring for runpy, pkgutil, pydoc, and setuptoolsPhillip J. Eby2006-04-181-5/+166
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to share common PEP 302 support code, as described here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/063724.html pydoc now supports PEP 302 importers, by way of utility functions in pkgutil, such as 'walk_packages()'. It will properly document modules that are in zip files, and is backward compatible to Python 2.3 (setuptools installs for Python <2.5 will bundle it so pydoc doesn't break when used with eggs.) What has not changed is that pydoc command line options do not support zip paths or other importer paths, and the webserver index does not support sys.meta_path. Those are probably okay as limitations. Tasks remaining: write docs and Misc/NEWS for pkgutil/pydoc changes, and update setuptools to use pkgutil wherever possible, then add it to the stdlib.
* First phase of refactoring for runpy, pkgutil, pydoc, and setuptoolsPhillip J. Eby2006-04-171-0/+264
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to share common PEP 302 support code, as described here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/063724.html This revision strips all the PEP 302 emulation code from runpy, replacing it with published API classes and functions in pkgutil, mostly using setuptools' implementation of common functionality, but adding features from runpy, and doing some refactoring to make the layer pydoc needs easier to implement on top of this. One step down, four to go, although step #4 (adding C versions of the new APIs to 'imp') may not be able to make it in time for alpha 2. We'll see how that goes.

Here's a draft. I have no immediate use for it, but I'd like this to be available for experimentation. I may withdraw it or change it radically up to and including the release of Python 2.3b1.
