  #5324: document __subclasses__().
........

http://bugs.python.org/issue5542

If the socket is closed, the client has no chance to read the response
from the server.  EPIPE means that it isn't possible to write more
data from the socket, but not that it is impossible to read.

Also, various formatting changes.

Some tests that used to be slow are now fast, and there are brand new
slow tests.

RFC 2616 says that iso-8859-1 is the default charset for HTTP entity
bodies, but we encoded strings using ascii.  See
http://bugs.python.org/issue5314.  Changed docs and code to use
iso-8859-1.

Also fix some brokenness with passing a file as the body instead of a
string.

Add tests to show that some of this behavior actually works.

The server needs to use MessageClass to parse.

  Remove the sys.version_info shortcut, since they cause the APIs
  to return different information than the _sys_version() output
  used in previous Python versions.

  This also fixes issue5561: platform.python_version_tuple returns tuple of ints, should be strings

  Added more tests for the various platform functions.

Fix some long lines.

Remove dead code branch created by automated conversion from 2.x.
Clean up a few comments.

patch by Victor Stinner #4016

Guard _fileio.c against other malicious os.close(f.fileno()) attempts.
Add tests to test_fileio.py to verify behaviour.

Return None rather than raise an exception if os.device_error is given an invalid file descriptor.

Fix to the last checkin, correctly raise an exception on failure.

Someone may have closed the file descriptor, with something like
f = open('test.test', 'w')
os.close(f.fileno())
f.close()
Protect against this by checking fd on windows before closing.
