      -- The whole implementation is now more table-driven.
      
      -- Unsigned integers.  Format characters 'B', 'H', 'I' and 'L'
      mean unsigned byte, short, int and long.  For 'I' and 'L', the return
      value is a Python long integer if a Python plain integer can't
      represent the required range (note: this is dependent on the size of
      the relevant C types only, not of the sign of the actual value).
      
      -- A new format character 's' packs/unpacks a string.  When given a
      count prefix, this is the size of the string, not a repeat count like
      for the other format characters; e.g. '10s' means a single 10-byte
      string, while '10c' means 10 characters.  For packing, the string is
      truncated or padded with null bytes as appropriate to make it fit.
      For unpacking, the resulting string always has exactly the specified
      number of bytes.  As a special case, '0s' means a single, empty
      string (while '0c' means 0 characters).
      
      -- Various byte order options.  The first character of the format
      string determines the byte order, size and alignment, as follows:
      
      First character		Byte order		size and alignment
      
      	'@'		native			native
      	'='		native			standard
      	'<'		little-endian		standard
      	'>'		big-endian		standard
      	'!'		network (= big-endian)	standard
      
      If the first character is not one of these, '@' is assumed.
      
      Native byte order is big-endian or little-endian, depending on the
      host system (e.g. Motorola and Sun are big-endian; Intel and DEC are
      little-endian).
      
      Native size and alignment are determined using the C compiler's sizeof
      expression.  This is always combined with native byte order.
      
      Standard size and alignment are as follows: no alignment is required
      for any type (so you have to use pad bytes); short is 2 bytes; int and
      long are 4 bytes.  In this mode, there is no support for float and
      double.
      
      Note the difference between '@' and '=': both use native byte order,
      but the size and alignment of the latter is standardized.
      
      The form '!' is available for those poor souls who can't remember
      whether network byte order is big-endian or little-endian.
      
      There is no way to indicate non-native byte order (i.e. force
      byte-swapping); use the appropriate choice of '<' or '>'.

      'verbose' flag ala GvR updated test harness architecture.
      
      Old way:
      
      	verbose = 0
      	if __name__ == '__main__':
      		verbose = 1
      
      New way:
      
      	from test_support import verbose
      
      Some other small readablility and functionality updates.

      added test of the regex module · 4780dedb
      Barry Warsaw authored
      [NOTE: testall.py and autotest.py might could go away soon, I've
       played with Guido's new regrtest.py script and it seems to work well.
       I'll wait until Guido gives the word to completely switch over -- and
       change the Makefile too!]

      Several changes. Test program to follow. · ebf87327
      Barry Warsaw authored
      - Where optional arguments were being used, converted to
        PyArg_ParseTuple() style instead of nested PyArg_Parse() style.
      
      - Check for and handle many potential error conditions that were never
        being tested.
      
      - internal reg_* functions renamed to regobj_* (makes it easier to
        figure out which are global regex functions and which are for regex
        objects).
      
      - reg_group (now regobj_group) was quite extensively reworked.  it no
        longer recurses to do its job (by factoring core functionality into
        a separate function that knows about string and integer indexes).
      
      - some minor formatting fixes.
      
      - regex_set_syntax() now invalidates the cache.  Without this change
        (in the example below), the second search would produce different
        output depending on whether the first search were performed or not
        (since performing the first search would cache the compiled object
        with RE_SYNTAX_EMACS, causing the second test to unexpectedly fail).
      
        regex.search('(a+)|(b+)', 'cdb')
        prev = regex.set_syntax(RE_SYNTAX_AWK)
        regex.search('(a+)|(b+)', 'cdb')
