TODO list

=========

For PythonNet 2.0

-----------------

* Implement support for ModulePropertyAttribute.

* Replace CLRModule.preload code with ModulePropertyAttribute specific code.

* Deprecate implicit loading of assemblies

* Debug failing unit tests under Mono and report them if they are caused

by incompatibilities in Mono.

Future and nice-to-have features

--------------------------------

* Add support for Python's debug builds. Debug builds have additional fields

in the struct, extensive self testing and C assert() are enabled. Py_DEBUG

implies Py_TRACE_REFS and Py_REF_DEBUG which enlarge the PyObject and

PyVarObject based structs. The Py_INCREF and Py_DECREF macros have a larger

payload as well. They keep track of the absolute number of references and

do tests when an object is GCed.

I've taken care of most of the incompatibilities but the Py_DEBUG build

is still broken. Somehow tp_mro of wrapper_descriptor isn't a tuple.

* Support Python 2.6. The most important feature I was able to isolate is the

PyType_FastSubclass macro and related TypeFlags in interops.cs.

* Let's talk to the Debian and Ubuntu maintainers for Python in order to convince

them to build Python with --enable-shared. Ubuntu's Python is semi static and not

linked against libpython2.x.so. This causes trouble with clr.so.
