Hi all,
I have just released Shed Skin 0.0.5. It fixes many bugs and adds many minor features to the Python builtins, most notably, the 'set' class. There have also been some optimizations on the C++ side. Finally, the README now better explains the compiler's limitations, and a TODO file has been added containing open bugs.
I would like to invite anyone to try out this new version, especially if there were problems with 0.0.4. If you encounter a bug or missing feature, please send me a small code fragment that exhibits the problem, so I can fix it or add it to the TODO. If you are a C++ programmer, please consider helping out on the C++ side, by sending in patches to improve the C++ implementation of the Python builtins!
For 0.0.6 (a feature release!), the following things are on my list:
- Basic inheritance support
- Automating the connection to the Python standard library
- Better error messages for things SS doesn't handle (Finally?!)
(This release has taken way too long, because I did not have much time this month. 0.0.6 might also take a while, since I will be living in China for the next seven weeks and will be writing my thesis, among other things. I expect to release it a few days after I get back, which would be just before new year.)
