| 376 | |
| 377 | test for overflow when converting python long to float |
| 378 | |
| 379 | lift restrictions on tuple or list in many cases |
| 380 | |
| 381 | (*) allow long ints with sensible values for getargs "i" |
| 382 | |

| 384 | |
| 385 | what to do about 64-bit int literals (on 64-bit machines) in .pyc |
| 386 | files? (Currently truncated w/o warning!) |
| 387 | |
| 388 | DOCUMENTATION UPDATE! E.g. ref.tex doesn't describe: |
| 389 | (*) - line joins w/o backslash |
| 390 | (*) - double-quoted strings; \" in strings |
| 391 | - more? |
