(as it is often not on Windows). The code was always designed so that it
would raise an IOError if there was no .netrc. But if there was no $HOME
it would return a KeyError which would be somewhat unexpected for code
that didn't know the algorithm it used to find .netrc. The particular
code that triggered this problem for me was ftpmirror.py which handled
the IOError gracefully, but not the KeyError.

add test case for bug #482460

Change the way __doc__ is handled, to avoid blowing up on non-string
__doc__ values.

Fixes SF bug #520959.

Added examples of positive lookbehind assertions.
This closes SF bug #529708.

change the installed version on either of the machines I use to format the
docs.  Instead, use a compatibility hack to support both versions.  This is
also better for external users of the Python styles.

better than we had before.
This closes SF bug #523117.

Python 2.2.1 candidate.

thought was just a bug report, so didn't notice - doh!).  This handles
slicing, which v 1.23 didn't.

Skip test_longexp for MacPython on Mac OS X. It triggers a pathological realloc slowdown. Some tests with shorter expressions lead me to the conclusion that it will eventually finish, but it may take a few weeks:-)

2.2.1 candidate.

If no webbrowsers were found _tryorder would be empty, cmd would never be set and the "del cmd" would fail. Fixed.

[ 530236 ] os.py assumes existence of statvfs_resul

This was pretty dense of me.  Sorry.

particular, negative indexes work and they are limited by the actual length
of the names they represent (weekday and month names).  This closes bug
#503202.

As promised in my response to the bug report, I'm not really fixing
it; in fact, one could argule over what the proper fix should do.
Instead, I'm adding a little magic that raises TypeError if you try to
pickle an instance of a class that has __slots__ but doesn't define or
override __getstate__.  This is done by adding a bozo __getstate__
that always raises TypeError.

Bugfix candidate (also the checkin to typeobject.c, of course).
