F.A.Q.s:
|
|
|
|
Q. If I run boot.py it says you've got like 80k of code! That's TOTALLY
|
|
not 64k! I want my money back.
|
|
A. Err... that's true. But 64k sounds *SO* much better than 80k.
|
|
If you *really* want it to be 64k, just run:
|
|
$ python mk64k.py
|
|
This does the following things:
|
|
- changes 4 spaces into tabs and removes blank lines
|
|
- removes comments
|
|
- removes the "namespacing" i.e. "tp_print" becomes "print"
|
|
|
|
Q. The binary is bigger than 64k. I hate big binaries.
|
|
A. I don't really care, but if you run "upx tinypy" it makes the tinypy
|
|
binary smaller than 64k.
|
|
|
|
Q. No matter how you spin this, it's just plain NOT 64k.
|
|
A. Let the buyer beware? I dunno, it's close enough. Let's call it a rounding
|
|
error, shall we?
|
|
|
|
Q. How come some oddball combinations of variable and named arguments don't work?
|
|
A. Ask me some other time. Short answer: I do it like lua does it. Only calls
|
|
like this make sense:
|
|
call_with_var_args(a,b,c,*d)
|
|
call_with_named_args(a=b,**c)
|
|
mixes of both just don't work, sorry!
|
|
|
|
Q. At the end of build.py tinypy doesn't work!
|
|
A. This is probably because of my use of -O3 in the final step. Run the command
|
|
again without -O3. Some versions of GCC are buggy and don't do well with it. |
