Adds support for accessing built-ins via the API graph. These are placed as members of the
builtins
module, mimicking how this works in Python 3.In Python 2, this module is called
__builtin__
and we silently alias this tobuiltins
. In principle this may cause surprise if people try to write, say,API::moduleImport("__builtin__").getMember("open")
, but ideally they should be usingAPI::builtin("open")
for this anyway (and with Python 2 being officially deprecated, I see little reason to support this very narrow use-case).At present, this implementation does not try to account for redefinitions of built-ins (as witnessed by the test with the
SPURIOUS
annotation).Also, there is some weirdness in one of the tests (the one that has the
MISSING
annotation), but this appears to be unrelated to the present implementation, and more likely due to missing flow into locally-defined functions.
