This allows multiple flags to be tested in a single compare
which eliminates unnecessary compares and saves a few bytes.

tests of "why" against WHY_YIELD became useless.  This patch removes them,
but assert()s that why != WHY_YIELD everywhere such a test was removed.
The test suite ran fine under a debug build (i.e., the asserts never
triggered).

attribute name lookup.

the socket name must start with /socket32/.  Unlike Unix systems, this
file never exists in the file system.

Also tidy up the export of spawn*() symbols in the os module to match what
is found/implemented.

close() calls would attempt to free() the buffer already free()ed on
the first close().     [bug introduced with patch #788249]

Making sure that the buffer is free()ed in file object deallocation is
a belt-n-braces bit of insurance against a memory leak.

Also, move pystack comment down next to it

Revise the long comment that explained details of the magic number

[Bugfix candidate] Escape traceback type and value.  There are probably additional cases where cgitb.py doesn't escape as paranoidly as it should (e.g. attribute names)

Remove those before comparing the actual mode to the expected mode.

* Factor constant expressions out of loops.
* Presize a list being grown to a known length.

version of Tcl other than ActiveTcl is installed (ActiveTcl
included TclX, other Tcl distros didn't).

I'm removing the package loading test because it's hard to
come up with a package that is guaranteed to be in any Tcl installation.

Special-casing darwin and windows is ok since that leaves the
only Tk platform (X) which the test was trying to address.

* pre-build a single identity function for the fixup function
* pre-build membership tests in dictionaries instead of in-line tuples
* assign len() to a local variable
* assign append() methods to a local variable
* use xrange() instead of range()
* replace "x<<1" with "x+x"
