now stricter in rejecting excess arguments.  The only time when
  either allows excess arguments is when it is not overridden and the
  other one is.  For backwards compatibility, when both are
  overridden, it is a deprecation warning (for now; maybe a Py3k
  warning later).

When merging this into 3.0, the warnings should become errors.

Note: without the change to string.py, lots of spurious warnings happen.
What's going on there?

The code in this patch leaves no way to give up the ownership of a
BSTR instance.

now be unpickled. Will backport.

masked by a generic one with the message "unpack non-sequence".

Extend work on rev 52962 and 53829 eliminating redundant PyObject_Hash() calls and fixing set/dict interoperability.

I'm guessing that's the problem.  h.getfile() must be called *after*
h.getreply() and the fp can be None.

I'm not entirely convinced this is the best fix (or even correct).
The buildbots will tell us if things improve or not.  I don't
know if this needs to be backported (assuming it actually works).

pass, but my guess is that it won't.  I'm guessing that some other
test is leaving this file open which means it can't be removed
under Windows AFAIK.

Try to make this test more resistant to dropping from previous runs (ie, files that may exist but cause the test to fail).  Should be backported (assuming it works :-)

buildbots.  This rev was backported, so we will need to keep both branches
in sync, pending the outcome of the test after this checkin.

to complex using its __complex__() method before falling back to the
__float__() method. Therefore, the functions in the cmath module now
can operate on objects that define a __complex__() method.
 (backport)

The file should now follow PEP 7, except that it uses 4 space indents
(in the style of Py3k).  This particular code would be really hard to
read with the regular tab idents.

Other changes:
 - reflow long lines
 - change multi-line conditionals to have test at end of line

from the previous check in.

The old and the new class are still required to have the same slot
names, but the order in which they are specified is not relevant.
