the example so it does pass.

Closes bug #1038935.  Thanks Malte Helmert for spotting it.

SF bug #997050: Document, test, & check for non-string values in ConfigParser.  Moved the new string-only restriction added in rev. 1.65 to the SafeConfigParser class, leaving existing ConfigParser & RawConfigParser behavior alone, and documented the conditions under which non-string values work.

SF bug #1017864: ConfigParser now correctly handles default keys, processing them with ``ConfigParser.optionxform`` when supplied, consistent with the handling of config file entries and runtime-set options.

Briefly (from the NEWS file):

- Updates for the email package:
  + All deprecated APIs that in email 2.x issued warnings have been removed:
    _encoder argument to the MIMEText constructor, Message.add_payload(),
    Utils.dump_address_pair(), Utils.decode(), Utils.encode()
  + New deprecations: Generator.__call__(), Message.get_type(),
    Message.get_main_type(), Message.get_subtype(), the 'strict' argument to
    the Parser constructor.  These will be removed in email 3.1.
  + Support for Python earlier than 2.3 has been removed (see PEP 291).
  + All defect classes have been renamed to end in 'Defect'.
  + Some FeedParser fixes; also a MultipartInvariantViolationDefect will be
    added to messages that claim to be multipart but really aren't.
  + Updates to documentation.

deque_item(): a performance bug: the linked list of blocks was followed
from the left in most cases, because the test (i < (deque->len >> 1)) was
after "i %= BLOCKLEN".

deque_clear(): replaced a call to deque_len() with deque->len; not sure what
this call was here for, nor if all compilers under the sun would inline it.

deque_traverse(): I belive that it could be called by the GC when the deque
has leftblock==rightblock==NULL, because it is tracked before the first block
is allocated (though closely before).  Still, a C extension module subclassing
deque could provide its own tp_alloc that could trigger a GC collection after
the PyObject_GC_Track()...

deque_richcompare(): rewrote to cleanly check for end-of-iterations instead of
relying on deque.__iter__().next() to succeed exactly len(deque) times -- an
assumption which can break if deques are subclassed.  Added a test.

I wonder if the length should be explicitely bounded to INT_MAX, with
OverflowErrors, as in listobject.c.  On 64-bit machines, adding more than
INT_MAX in the deque will result in trouble.  (Note to anyone/me fixing
this: carefully check for overflows if len is close to INT_MAX in the
following functions: deque_rotate(), deque_item(), deque_ass_item())

ages. The main improvements are:
- a much more convenient API: readPlist() and writePlist()
- support non-dict top-level objects

  The previous approach was too easily fooled (a rotate() sufficed).

* Use it->counter to determine when iteration is complete.  The
  previous approach was too complex.

* Strengthen an assertion and add a comment here or there.

* Change the centering by one to make it possible to test the module
  with BLOCKLEN's as low as two.  Testing small blocks makes end-point
  errors surface more readily.

BLOCKLEN-1, this assert-failed in a debug build, or went wild with a
NULL pointer in a release build.  Reported on c.l.py by Stefan Behnel.
