non-simple class-level assignment

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

class MyClass(object):
    A, B, C = range(3)

What is the expected output?

The code successfully compiles in ShedSkin, and produces the same output as the 
following code (which does compile successfully):

class MyClass(object):
    A = 0
    B = 1
    C = 2

What do you see instead?

Error message: "at the class-level, only simple assignments are supported"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

ShedSkin 0.7, compiled from source on Ubuntu 10.10.

Type should be enhancement, not defect.

thanks! I'm not sure exactly what causes this restriction, but I will have a 
look for 0.8 to see if this can be improved a bit..

sorry, this didn't make it in for 0.8.. I hope to get to it at some point, but 
since it gives a clear warning and is very easy to work around, you'll have to 
forgive me it doesn't have much priority.. :-)

I just made some changes for 0.9.3 which should improve the situation 
dramatically for arbitrary code at the 'class-level'. this case at least now 
also works.leaving the issue open for now because I want to try and completely 
eliminate above mentioned error message before 0.9.3, within the next few days 
hopefully. thanks again in any case for reporting!

okay, the error resided in some dead code, so it was easy to remove.. :)

closing this one then, thanks again for reporting!
