Previous to this patch, a big-int, float or imag constant was interned (made into a qstr) and then parsed at runtime to create an object each time it was needed. This is wasteful in RAM and not efficient. Now, these constants are parsed straight away in the parser and turned into objects. This allows constants with large numbers of digits (so addresses issue #1103) and takes us a step closer to #722.
This directory contains tests for various functionality areas of MicroPython. To run all stable tests, run "run-tests" script in this directory. Note that bytecode tests are not yet stable and should be run separately in "bytecode" subdirectory. When creating new tests, anything that relies on float support should go in the float/ subdirectory. Anything that relies on import x, where x is not a built-in module, should go in the import/ subdirectory.
