docstring more descriptive instead.

leak-chasing test runs give sensible results. The previous method of
reaping threads could return successfully while some Thread objects were
still referenced. This also introduces a new private function:
:func:hread._count().

Use constants instead of magic integers for test result.  Do not re-run with --verbose3 for environment changing tests.

arguments with more digits than the current context precision.

accept ints and longs for the second argument.

The sensible solution seems to be to implement %lld for PyString_FromFormat(V)
and PyErr_Format.  See issue #7228.

the gzip FNAME header as required by RFC 1952.

The added test does not fail without the patch, but we still fix the issue of
surrogates being used in wide builds where they should not be.

Issue 7117: Replace PyOS_ascii_strtod with PyOS_string_to_double in _json.c as part of short float repr. Change made after consulting with Bob Ippolito. This completes the removal of calls to PyOS_ascii_strtod.

Make sure every run of test_intern() interns a new string, otherwise that test fails e.g. when some other test in test_builtin fails and it is rerun in verbose mode.

where off_t has type long (e.g., 64-bit Linux).

Not completely suppressed though, see issue #7222.

Add a regrtest option to re-run in verbose mode immediately after a test fails, and use that option on the buildbots.

Removed PyOS_ascii_atof from marshal.c, as mentioned in issue 7117. Also brings it more in line with py3k.
