(py-mode-map): Bind py-help-at-point to f1 as well as C-c C-h

(py-help-at-point): Make sure the symbol is quoted so things like
pydoc.help('sys.platform') work correctly.  Also, leave the *Python
Output* buffer in help-mode; this may be a bit more controversial.

to call pychecker on the current file, add a face for pseudo
keywords self, None, True, False, and Ellipsis.  Specifically,

(py-pychecker-command, py-pychecker-command-args): New variables.

(py-pseudo-keyword-face): New face variable, defaulting to a copy of
font-lock-keyword-face.

(python-font-lock-keywords): Add an entry for self, None, True, False,
Ellipsis to be rendered in py-pseudo-keyword-face.

(py-pychecker-history): New variable.

(py-mode-map): Bind C-c C-w to py-pychecker-run.

(py-pychecker-run): New command.

gives a compiler wng under MSVC because of the resulting signed-vs-
unsigned comparison).

Assorted crashes on Windows and Linux when trying to display a very
long calltip, most likely a Tk bug.  Wormed around by clamping the
calltip display to a maximum of 79 characters (why 79? why not ...).

Bugfix candidate, for all Python releases.

This adds the optional argument for str.strip
to unicode.strip too and makes it possible
to call str.strip with a unicode argument
and unicode.strip with a str argument.

"help-on-symbol-at-point" feature which uses pydoc to provide help on
the symbol under point, if available.

Mods include some name changes, a port to Emacs, binding the command
to C-c C-h, and providing a more informative error message if the
symbol's help can't be found (through use of a nasty bare except).

Note also that py-describe-mode has been moved off of C-c C-h m; it's
now just available on C-c ?

Closes SF patch #545439.

#! line, use the command on that line as the shell command to use to
execute the region.  I.e. if the region looks like

----------------
#! /usr/bin/env python1.5

print 'hello world'.startswith('hello')
----------------

you'll get an exception! :)

This closes SF bug #232398.

python-mode file, py-which-shell would have been nil and the command
to use would not get set correctly.  This changes things so that 1)
the temporary file has a .py extension, 2) the temporary file is put
into python-mode, and 3) the temporary file's py-which-shell is
captured in a local `shell' variable, which is used to calculate the
command to use.  Closes SF bug #545436.

(py-parse-state): Rip out the XEmacs-specific calls to
buffer-syntactic-context, which can get quite confused if there's an
open paren in column zero say, embedded in a triple quoted string.
This was always a performance hack anyway, and computers are fast
enough now that we should be able to get away with the slower, more
portable, full-parse branch.  Closes SF bug #451841.

Update the comments at the top of the file.

- islink() now returns true for alias files
- walk() no longer follows aliases while traversing
- realpath() implemented, returning an alias-free pathname.

As this could conceivably break existing code I think it isn't a bugfix candidate.

+ Redirect PyMem_{Del, DEL} to the object allocator's free() when
  pymalloc is enabled.  Needed so old extensions can continue to
  mix PyObject_New with PyMem_DEL.

+ This implies that pgen needs to be able to see the PyObject_XYZ
  declarations too.  pgenheaders.h now includes Python.h.  An
  implication is that I expect obmalloc.o needs to get linked into
  pgen on non-Windows boxes.

+ When PYMALLOC_DEBUG is defined, *all* Py memory API functions
  now funnel through the debug allocator wrapper around pymalloc.
  This is the default in a debug build.

+ That caused compile.c to fail:  it indirectly mixed PyMem_Malloc
  with raw platform free() in one place.  This is verbotten.

tried to catch some possible arithmetic overflows in the debug build.

+ Continued looping until n bytes in the buffer have been filled, not
  just when n bytes have been read from the file.  This repairs the
  bug that f.readlines() only sucked up the first 8192 bytes of the file
  on Windows when universal newlines was enabled and f was opened in
  U mode (see Python-Dev -- this was the ultimate cause of the
  test_inspect.py failure).

+ Changed prototye to take a char* buffer (void* doesn't make much sense).

+ Squashed size_t vs int mismatches (in particular, besides the unsigned
  vs signed distinction, size_t may be larger than int).

+ Gets out under all error conditions now (it's possible for fread() to
  suffer an error even if it returns a number larger than 0 -- any
  "short read" is an error or EOF condition).

+ Rearranged and simplified declarations.

test data:  this test fails on WIndows now if universal newlines are
enabled (which they aren't yet, by default).  I don't know whether the
test will also fail on Linux now.

displays a recognizable section title (there are extra blanks at the
end of it now, due to the nested anchor, but that's fine).

pointers is a signed type.  Changing "allocated" to a signed int makes
undetected overflow more likely, but there was no overflow detection
before either.

distinct top-level node.  Before they were all nested under an artificial
top-level node, uselessly chewing up horizontal space, and ensuring that
the only thing the user saw in the TOC upon opening the file was a single
collapsed top-level folder.

HTML (or, at least, proper in its view).  The TOC file is now identical
to what the HTML compiler itself generates, except for whitespace and
a glitch identified below.  The pretty-printing done by prechm.py is
pretty much destroyed for now; if you need it pretty-printed, just make
the Help Compiler save the files (it's got its own idea of pretty-
printing anyway).

Glitch:  The title of Ref Man "2.1.6 Blank lines" shows up as a blank
for now.  This is because the relevant entry in ref/index.html contains
nested anchors, and pychm really has no idea what to do with that.  I
hacked it for now to avoid any error messages or worse insanity, and
filed a bug report against the docs.

methods to squash code duplication.  Simplified several overly complex
chunks of logic.  Built output strings more with string interpolation
instead of infix '+'.  Added comments.  Exploited recent Python features
(chiefly bool and augmented assignment).

PyFrame_FastToLocals() and PyFrame_LocalsToFast() had a return if
f_nlocals was 0.  I think this was a holdover from the pre 2.1 days
when regular locals were the only kind of local variables.

The change makes it possible to use a free variable in eval or exec if
it the variable is also used elsewhere in the same block, which is
what the documentation says.

to reference fields via names instead of meaningless little integers.
This turned up one case where the wrong little integer was being used,
in informative progress output.  Fixed that too.
