Had nothing to do with rich comparisons -- some stack cleanup code was
lost as a result of merging in Neil Schemenauer's generators patch.
Reinserted the stack cleanup code, skipping it when yielding.

This closes SF bug #489872.

This is best reproduced by

  while 1:
      class U(unicode):
          pass
      U(u"xxxxxx")

The unicode_dealloc() code wasn't properly freeing the str and defenc
fields of the Unicode object when freeing a subtype instance.  Fixed
this by a subtle refactoring that actually reduces the amount of code
slightly.

Fixes #486099.

properly set.  This fixes that.

initialized, this will be None, but the functions will still work (there will
simply be a bogus parent on the screen).  Allowing the parent to be None
is useful when testing the functions from an interactive interpreter.

Add an optional keyword paramter "show" to the _QueryString class; when given
it is used to set the -show option to the entry widget.  This allows passing
show="*" or the like to askstring(), making it useful for requesting
passwords/passphrases from the user.

Changed a docstring to be less font-lock-hostile.

PyCell_Set() incremenets the reference count, so the earlier XINCREF
causes a leak.

Also make a number of small performance improvements to the code on
the assumption that most of the time variables are not rebound across
a FastToLocals() / LocalsToFast() pair.

Replace uses of PyCell_Set() and PyCell_Get() with PyCell_SET() and
PyCell_GET(), since the frame is guaranteed to contain cells.

Add a missing DECREF in an obscure corner.  If the str() or repr() of
an object passed to a string interpolation -- e.g. "%s" % obj --
returns a non-string, the returned object was leaked.

Repair an indentation glitch.

Replace a bunch of PyString_AsString() calls (and their ilk) with
macros.

The st_future slot of the symtable is not freed by PySymtable_Free()
because it is shared by the symtable and compiling structs in
compiel.c.  Since it is shared, it is explicitly deallocated when the
compiling struct is freed.

leak when a class defined a __metaclass__.  This fixes the problem
reported on python-dev by Ping; I dunno if it's the same as SF bug
#489669 (since that mentions Unicode).

Big Hammer to implement -Qnew as PEP 238 says it should work (a global
option affecting all instances of "/").

pydebug.h, main.c, pythonrun.c:  define a private _Py_QnewFlag flag, true
iff -Qnew is passed on the command line.  This should go away (as the
comments say) when true division becomes The Rule.  This is
deliberately not exposed to runtime inspection or modification:  it's
a one-way one-shot switch to pretend you're using Python 3.

ceval.c:  when _Py_QnewFlag is set, treat BINARY_DIVIDE as
BINARY_TRUE_DIVIDE.

test_{descr, generators, zipfile}.py:  fiddle so these pass under
-Qnew too.  This was just a matter of s!/!//! in test_generators and
test_zipfile.  test_descr was trickier, as testbinop() is passed
assumptions that "/" is the same as calling a "__div__" method; put
a temporary hack there to call "__truediv__" instead when the method
name is "__div__" and 1/2 evaluates to 0.5.

Three standard tests still fail under -Qnew (on Windows; somebody
please try the Linux tests with -Qnew too!  Linux runs a whole bunch
of tests Windows doesn't):
    test_augassign
    test_class
    test_coercion
I can't stay awake longer to stare at this (be my guest).  Offhand
cures weren't obvious, nor was it even obvious that cures are possible
without major hackery.

Question:  when -Qnew is in effect, should calls to __div__ magically
change into calls to __truediv__?  See "major hackery" at tail end of
last paragraph <wink>.

the node being added is a fragment node.

the work each time it found another base class.  All the work is
contiguous, so we might as well do it all at once at the end.

This should probably go into NEWS (who's responsible for that?).

Link more modules with weak import, and add CarbonAccessors.o to all relevant PowerPC toolbox modules. This, in combination with recent IDE mods, makes the IDE work again under MacOS 8.1.

It was easier than I thought, assuming that no other things contribute
to the instance size besides slots -- a pretty good bet.  With a test
suite, no less!

to bytes_per_frame.

parser_tuple2st() and a failure to propogate an error in

happy if one could delete the __dict__ attribute of an instance.  I
love to make Jim happy, so here goes...

- New-style objects now support deleting their __dict__.  This is for
  all intents and purposes equivalent to assigning a brand new empty
  dictionary, but saves space if the object is not used further.

pertains to the script is now in the if __name__ == "__main__" block.
This is in response to a commenton python-dev from Neal Norwitz.

As of OS X 10.1.1 the version numbering scheme has changed. Convert all "darwin*" to "darwin" and use that for testing.
