this in module initialization before calling PyType_Ready.  (Sorry
Tim.) This is necessary to compile on cygwin.  AFAIK, we support
cygwin. If so, then we need to write extentions this way.

Fixed bug in implementation of tp_init function. It should be an int
function, not a PyObject *.

When shelve and the bsdbm where expanded to a full mapping interface,
this module was missed.

Added a related NEWS item.

SF bug #760703: SocketHandler and LogRecord don't work well together
SF bug #757821: logging module docs

Applied Vinay Sajip's patch with a few minor fixups and a NEWS item.

Patched __init__.py - added new function
makeLogRecord (for bug report 760703).

Patched handlers.py - updated some docstrings and
deleted some old commented-out code.

Patched test_logging.py to make use of makeLogRecord.

Patched liblogging.tex to fill documentation gaps (both
760703 and bug 757821).

now accepts "True" when a test expects "1", and similarly for "False"
versus "0".  This is un-doctest-like, but on balance makes it much
more pleasant to write doctests that pass under 2.2 and 2.3.  I expect
it to go away again, when 2.2 is forgotten.  In the meantime, there's
a new doctest module constant that can be passed to a new optional
argument, if you want to turn this behavior off.

Note that this substitution is very simple-minded:  the expected and
actual outputs have to consist of single tokens.  No attempt is made,
e.g., to accept [True, False] when a test expects [1, 0].  This is a
simple hack for simple tests, and I intend to keep it that way.

that won't be right when mkhowto is called with --numeric (as it is
for the Python Tutorial).  Save the actual name we use when we build
the table of contents, then use that in the page head metadata.  The
node2label.pl script will munge this properly when --numeric isn't
given, so this works in both cases.
Closes SF bug #761830.

there are no gaps in the definitions.
Closes SF bug #726150.

There's no point to passing it anymore, but there's a test that
expects the call to fail if you pass a non-callable object.

The language reference says you must return an int or a bool.  This
fix limits the scope of SF bug 759227 (infinite recursion) to
subclasses of int.

the hovering background

If the callback raised an exception but did not set curexc_traceback,
the trace function was called with PyTrace_RETURN.  That is, the trace
function was called with an exception set.  The main loop detected the
exception when the trace function returned; it complained and disabled
tracing.

Fix the logic error so that PyTrace_RETURN only occurs if the callback
returned normally.

The trace function must be called for exceptions, too.  So we had
to add new functionality to call with PyTrace_EXCEPTION.  (Leads to a
rather ugly ifdef / else block that contains only a '}'.)

Reverse the logic and name of NOFIX_TRACE to FIX_TRACE.

Joint work with Fred.

attribute. Patch and bug report from Geoff Talvola. Closes patch #672855.

patch:

[ 750008 ] 'compiler' module bug with 'import foo.bar as baz'

which I'm now checking in.

after import foo.bar as baz, baz would refer to foo.

The interning of short strings violates the refcnt==1 assumption for
_PyString_Resize().

A simple fix is to boost the initial value of "totalnew" by 1.
Combined with an NULL argument to PyString_FromStringAndSize(),
this assures that resulting format string is not interned.
This will remain true even if the implementation of
PyString_FromStringAndSize() changes because only the uninitialized
strings that can be interned are those of zero length.

Added a test case.

* Documented __slots__
* Documented __metaclass__

Shamelessly plagarized from Guido's tutorial.

The constructor() call only made sense when it registered the
constructor as safe for unpickling.  We should probably remove the
module-global function, but need to worry about backwards
compatibility.

Revised version of a contribution from Gerrit Holl.

Update the docs for the extended behavior of __contains__

_TemporarilyImmutableSet is in fact a subclass of BaseSet

* Clarified the meaning of lexicographic sequence ordering as discussed on
