Neal Norwitz	4886cc3	2006-08-21 17:06:07 +0000	[diff] [blame]	10	Release date: XX-XXX-200X
				11
				12	TO DO
				13	-----
				14
				15	- See PEP 3000.
				16
				17	- Test merging certain changes from the 2.5 HEAD code.
				18
				19	- Weed really old/weird stuff from the library.
				20
				21	- Unify range() and xrange().
				22
				23	- Revamp the dict API: keys(), values(), items() return iterators, etc.
				24
				25	- Add the bytes type.
				26
				27	- Rework the standard I/O library to use bytes for binary files.
				28
				29	- Make strings all Unicode.
				30
				31	- Get rid of classic class implementation.
				32
				33	- Get rid of various compatibility-related flags (e.g. division flags).

Neal Norwitz	4886cc3	2006-08-21 17:06:07 +0000	[diff] [blame]	36	Core and Builtins
				37	-----------------
				38
Jack Diederich	4dafcc4	2006-11-28 19:15:13 +0000	[diff] [blame^]	39	- Renamed nb_nonzero to nb_bool and __nonzero__ to __bool__
				40
Neal Norwitz	4886cc3	2006-08-21 17:06:07 +0000	[diff] [blame]	41	- Classic classes are a thing of the past. All classes are new style.
				42
				43	- Exceptions must derive from BaseException.
				44
				45	- Integer division always returns a float. The -Q option is no more.
				46	All the following are gone:
				47	* PyNumber_Divide and PyNumber_InPlaceDivide
				48	* __div__, __rdiv__, and __idiv__
				49	* nb_divide, nb_inplace_divide
				50	* operator.div, operator.idiv, operator.__div__, operator.__idiv__
				51	(Only __truediv__ and __floordiv__ remain, not sure how to handle them
				52	if we want to re-use __div__ and friends. If we do, it will make
				53	it harder to write code for both 2.x and 3.x.)
				54
				55	- 'as' and 'with' are keywords.
				56
				57	- Absolute import is the default behavior for 'import foo' etc.
				58
Neal Norwitz	378b2c9	2006-08-29 07:57:22 +0000	[diff] [blame]	59	- Removed support for syntax:
				60	backticks (`x`), <>
				61
Neal Norwitz	4886cc3	2006-08-21 17:06:07 +0000	[diff] [blame]	62	- Removed these Python builtins:
				63	apply(), coerce(), input(), raw_input()
				64
Neal Norwitz	378b2c9	2006-08-29 07:57:22 +0000	[diff] [blame]	65	- Removed these Python methods:
				66	{}.has_key
				67
Neal Norwitz	4886cc3	2006-08-21 17:06:07 +0000	[diff] [blame]	68	- Removed these Python slots:
				69	__coerce__, __div__, __idiv__, __rdiv__
				70
				71	- Removed these attributes from Python modules:
				72	* operator module: div, idiv, __div__, __idiv__
				73
Neal Norwitz	4886cc3	2006-08-21 17:06:07 +0000	[diff] [blame]	74	- Removed these C APIs:
Neal Norwitz	378b2c9	2006-08-29 07:57:22 +0000	[diff] [blame]	75	PyNumber_Coerce(), PyNumber_CoerceEx()
Neal Norwitz	4886cc3	2006-08-21 17:06:07 +0000	[diff] [blame]	76
				77	- Removed these C slots/fields:
				78	nb_divide, nb_inplace_divide
				79
				80	- Removed these macros:
				81	staticforward, statichere, PyArg_GetInt, PyArg_NoArgs
				82
				83	- Removed these typedefs:
				84	intargfunc, intintargfunc, intobjargproc, intintobjargproc,
				85	getreadbufferproc, getwritebufferproc, getsegcountproc, getcharbufferproc
				86
				87	- Removed these opcodes:
Neal Norwitz	378b2c9	2006-08-29 07:57:22 +0000	[diff] [blame]	88	BINARY_DIVIDE, INPLACE_DIVIDE, UNARY_CONVERT
				89
				90	- zip returns an iterator
				91
				92	- Additions:
				93	set literals
				94
