DNS, and we can't assume that.

that retries the connect() call in timeout mode so it can be shared
between connect() and connect_ex(), and needs only a single #ifdef.

The test for this was doing funky stuff I don't approve of,
so I removed it in favor of a simpler test.  This allowed me
to implement a simpler, "purer" form of the timeout retry code.
Hopefully that's enough (if you want to be fancy, use non-blocking
mode and decode the errors yourself, like before).

Remove __init__ that just called base class __init__ with same args.
Fold long argument lists into fewer, shorter lines.
Remove parens in tuple unpacks.
Don't put multiple statements on one line with a semicolon.
In find_library_file() compute the library_filename() upfront.

- setblocking(0) and settimeout(0) are now equivalent, and ditto for
  setblocking(1) and settimeout(None).

- Don't raise an exception from internal_select(); let the final call
  report the error (this means you will get an EAGAIN error instead of
  an ETIMEDOUT error -- I don't care).

- Move the select to inside the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS brackets,
  so other theads can run (this was a bug in the original code).

- Redid the retry logic in connect() and connect_ex() to avoid masking
  errors.  This probably doesn't work for Windows yet; I'll fix that
  next.  It may also fail on other platforms, depending on what
  retrying a connect does; I need help with this.

- Get rid of the retry logic in accept().  I don't think it was needed
  at all.  But I may be wrong.

Add a sleep (yuck!) to _testRecvFrom() so the server can set up first.

Making the world better a little bit at a time <wink>.

This was a simple typo.  Strange that the compiler didn't catch it!
Instead of WHY_CONTINUE, two tests used CONTINUE_LOOP, which isn't a
why_code at all, but an opcode; but even though 'why' is declared as
an enum, comparing it to an int is apparently not even worth a
warning -- not in gcc, and not in VC++. :-(

Will fix in 2.2 too.

[ 400998 ] experimental support for extended slicing on lists

somewhat spruced up and better tested than it was when I wrote it.

Includes docs & tests.  The whatsnew section needs expanding, and arrays
should support extended slices -- later.

Added an explanation of the use of [...] to denote optional arguments, since
this is the only use of this in a signature line.
