Remaining Python todo items

[Bram Moolenaar]

After including a few patches and fixes, these are the remaining Python
todo items:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Python SystemExit exception is not handled properly. Patch to catch the
exception and give an error. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Does not work, tests fail.

Patch to print the result of a :python command. (Maxim Philippov
<phili...@gmail.com>, 2012 Aug 16) Update Aug 17.
Patch no longer applies. Can we drop it?

":python os.chdir('/tmp')" makes short buffer names invalid. (Xavier de Gaye)
Check directory and call shorten_fnames()? Better: make os.chdir()
invoke the interal :cd implementation, that takes care of all side
effects.

Mac: OS/X 10.4 with Python 2.5 installed: configure finds an extra argument
that breaks the build. (Brian Victor, 2008 Sep 1)

Patch to access screen under Python. (Marko Mahni, 2010 Jul 18)

Python: ":py raw_input('prompt')" doesn't work. (Manu Hack)

Win32: The Python interface only works with one version of Python, selected at
compile time. Can this be made to work with version 2.1 and 2.2 dynamically?

Python: Be able to define a Python function that can be called directly from
Vim script. Requires converting the arguments and return value.

Let me know if I missed something.

And possibly implement some of the proposed API additions. We can't
keep postponing the 7.4 release, there is always something more to do.
Let's put a deadline at the end of May. After that it's bug fixing
only. So let's do the most useful things first.

ARTHUR: The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. 'Tis one of the sacred relics
Brother Maynard always carries with him.
ALL: Yes. Of course.

Indeed, somehow that one went missing. Thanks for the reminder.
