Overview

This issue tracks the effort to trace the complete history of Python's builtins.quit implementation using git bisect, to better understand how it has evolved and why it behaves differently in IPython.

Objectives

  • Determine when builtins.quit was first introduced in CPython
  • Trace significant changes to its implementation over time
  • Understand how IPython's handling of quit/exit diverged from CPython
  • Document the behavior differences between environments

Methodology

We will use git bisect to systematically search the CPython repository history to find:

  1. The first introduction of the quit functionality
  2. Any significant changes to its implementation
  3. When the current behavior was established

Tasks

  • Set up a local clone of CPython repository
  • Create a script to test for the presence and behavior of builtins.quit
  • Run git bisect to find relevant commits
  • Document findings in a chronological history
  • Compare with IPython's implementation and handling

Expected Outcome

A detailed document outlining the history of builtins.quit in Python, with key commits, changes, and how it relates to the current issue with Hy and IPython.
