output *and* doctest stuff.  Assuming the doctest stuff comes after the
expected output, this fixes that.

the first difference, let the test run till completion, then gather
all the output and compare it to the expected output using difflib.

XXX Still to do: produce diff output that only shows the sections that
differ; currently it produces ndiff-style output because that's the
easiest to produce with difflib, but this becomes a liability when the
output is voluminous and there are only a few differences.

classes to __getattribute__, to make it crystal-clear that it doesn't
have the same semantics as overriding __getattr__ on classic classes.

This is a halfway checkin -- I'll proceed to add a __getattr__ hook
that works the way it works in classic classes.

please let me know and we'll figure out how to fix the test.)

docstrings (using file.closed and file.name as examples).

no backwards compatibility to worry about, so I just pushed the
'closure' struct member to the back -- it's never used in the current
code base (I may eliminate it, but that's more work because the getter
and setter signatures would have to change.)

As examples, I added actual docstrings to the getset attributes of a
few types: file.closed, xxsubtype.spamdict.state.

allows using the tests with unittest.py as a script.  The tests will
still run when run as a script themselves.

compatibility, this required all places where an array of "struct
memberlist" structures was declared that is referenced from a type's
tp_members slot to change the type of the structure to PyMemberDef;
"struct memberlist" is now only used by old code that still calls
PyMember_Get/Set.  The code in PyObject_GenericGetAttr/SetAttr now
calls the new APIs PyMember_GetOne/SetOne, which take a PyMemberDef
argument.

As examples, I added actual docstrings to the attributes of a few
types: file, complex, instance method, super, and xxsubtype.spamlist.

Also converted the symtable to new style getattr.

works just like str(obj) in that it tries __str__/tp_str on the object
in case it finds that the object is not a string or buffer.

does not for C functions which most other codecs use).

inspect.getargspec(obj), test isfunction() directly in pydoc.py instead
of trying to indirectly deduce isfunction() in pydoc by virtue of
failing a combination of other tests.  This shouldn't have any visible
effect, except perhaps to squash a TypeError death if there was some path
thru this code that was inferring isfunction() by mistake.
