2014-01-08py: add variable argument exception constructor function.Damien George
Addresses issue #104.
2014-01-08py: Stuff qstr in object pointer; keys for mp_map_t are now always mp_obj_t.Damien George
2014-01-08py: Improve __build_class__.Damien George
2014-01-04Convert Python types to proper Python type hierarchy.Damien George
Now much more inline with how CPython does types.
2014-01-04Split qstr into pools, and put initial pool in ROM.Damien George
Qstr's are now split into a linked-list of qstr pools. This has 2 benefits: the first pool can be in ROM (huge benefit, since we no longer use RAM for the core qstrs), and subsequent pools use m_new for the next pool instead of m_renew (thus avoiding a huge single table for all the qstrs). Still would be better to use a hash table, but this scheme takes us part of the way (eventually convert the pools to hash tables). Also fixed bug with import. Also improved the way the module code is referenced (not magic number 1 anymore).
2014-01-01py: add int() and float() built-ins, partially implemented.Damien George
2013-12-21Change object representation from 1 big union to individual structs.Damien
A big change. Micro Python objects are allocated as individual structs with the first element being a pointer to the type information (which is itself an object). This scheme follows CPython. Much more flexible, not necessarily slower, uses same heap memory, and can allocate objects statically. Also change name prefix, from py_ to mp_ (mp for Micro Python).
2013-12-17py: add more Python built-in functions.Damien
2013-12-17py: split runtime into map, obj, builtin.Damien
