clean up files and directories the tests often leave behind by
mistake.  This is the first time in history I don't have a bogus
"db_home" directory after running the tests ;-)

Also worked on runtest's docstring, to say something about all the
arguments, and to document the non-obvious return values.

New functions runtest_inner() and cleanup_test_droppings() in
support of the above.

Make the definition #ARRAYSIZE conditional.  VisualStudio .NET 2005 already has it defined using a better gimmick.

[Bug #1472827] Make saxutils.XMLGenerator handle \r\n\t in attribute values by escaping them properly.   2.4 bugfix candidate.

run immediately after test_file.  At least 8 buildbot
boxes passed since the underlying problem got fixed,
and they all failed before the fix, so there's no point
to this anymore.

test clean up after itself appears to fix the test failures
when test_optparse follows test_file.

test_main():  Get rid of TESTFN no matter what.  That's
also enough to fix the mystery failures.  Doesn't hurt
to fix them twice :-)

try/except.  Remove TESTFN.

Throughout:  used open() instead of file(), and wrapped
long lines.

after test_file until we can figure out how to fix it.
(See python-dev; at the moment we don't even know which checkin
caused the problem.)

Since test_file is implicated in mysterious test failures
when followed by test_optparse, if I had any brains I'd
look at the checkin that last changed test_file ;-)

the char buffer was requested.  Now it actually returns the char buffer if
available or raises a TypeError if it isn't (as is raised for the other buffer
types if they are not present but requested).

Not a backport candidate since it does change semantics of the buffer object
(although it could be argued this is enough of a bug to bother backporting).

match its documentation stating it accepts any read-only buffer.

latter can return something that's true.

Actually, checking for INT_MAX and INT_MIN is correct since
the format code explicitly handles a C "int".

Give a consistent behavior for comparison and hashing of method objects
(both user- and built-in methods).  Now compares the 'self' recursively.
The hash was already asking for the hash of 'self'.

  DBDeadLockError exception.
* add the test case for my previous dbtables commit.

  aborts the db transaction safely when a modifier callback fails.
  Fixes SF python patch/bug #1408584.

Also cleans up the bsddb.dbtables docstrings since thats the only
documentation that exists for that unadvertised module.  (people
really should really just use sqlite3)

endian machines.  Should fix the remaininf failure in the PPC64
Debian buildbot.

Thanks to Matthias Klose for providing access to a machine to debug
and test this.
