When the exception has no message, don't insert a colon after the
exception name.

re-initializing Python (Py_Finalize() followed by Py_Initialize()) to
blow up quickly.  With the DECREF removed I can't get it to fail any
more.  (Except it still leaks, but that's probably a separate issue.)

modification.  Removed the need for that.

  The ASCII-art diagram at the top of httplib contains a backslash at
  the end of a line, which causes Python to remove the newline. This
  one-character patch adds a space after the backslash so it will
  appear at the end of the line in the docstring as intended.

pid across threads (but in that case, it's still the same process, and so
still sharing the "template" cache in tempfile.py).  Repaired that, and
added a new std test.
On Linux, someone please run that standalone with more files and/or more
threads; e.g.,

    python lib/test/test_threadedtempfile.py -f 1000 -t 10

to run with 10 threads each creating (and deleting) 1000 temp files.

Fixed Carbon command-dot handling. There is still a problem, though, and you may have to hit it repeatedly.

The UserPane routines appear to be fixed in the current Universal Headers, so they're re-enabled.

xstat() will never be implemented under Carbon. Fortunately it also doesn't appear to be used anywhere.

(since it is).

1) "from M import X" now works even if M is not a real module; it's
   basically a getattr() operation with AttributeError exceptions
   changed into ImportError.

2) "from M import *" now looks for M.__all__ to decide which names to
   import; if M.__all__ doesn't exist, it uses M.__dict__.keys() but
   filters out names starting with '_' as before.  Whether or not
   __all__ exists, there's no restriction on the type of M.

- Make error messages from issubclass() and isinstance() a bit more
  descriptive (Ping, modified by Guido)

- Couple of tiny fixes to other docstrings (Ping)

- Get rid of trailing whitespace (Guido)

    a glibc, not a gcc, problem.

Tested on Windows.  Should be tested on Linux.  Should also be
tested on some platform without threads (I simulated that by
making the "import thread" fail, but that's not the same as
actually doing it!).

This mostly closes SF bug #128251.

reference.

Noone but me cares, but Guido said to go ahead and fix it if it bothered me.

xreadlines inserted themselves inbetween the two) and clarify that the
normal socket module should be commented out. (Someone also suggested the
latter on c.l.py some time ago, I forget who, sorry.)
