Great! Hope this message has shed some additional light.

It would of course, two years earlier. When I wrote my message, I already had triple-checked that there was no way to contradict me :-)

It would be a shame for this to be lost in the archives. If there were a directory of ImplementationNotes somewhere (or an interpreter wiki), this would belong there. And responders to "where are the docs on the implementation" could be told more than "read the source".

Put the whole message into the comments, and all is just fine.

Good idea. I hate separating implementation notes from the code by more than absolutely necessary (Zope's cobweb of Wikis drives me nuts :-), so I added the essence of that message to ceval.c as a big comment block.

Hey, that's just great! Guess how often I had to re-read that code, finally concluding that it is all-right that way, but always thinking that I could have saved quite some time by taking some notes :-)

The hardest thing to remember always was the fact that the callee is saving the caller's state for the exceptions. I always have to go through analysis again to get it right, and I always think this is not the way it should be.
