depends is a list of files that the target depends, but aren't direct
sources of the target.  think .h files.

settimeout(), test settimeout(None), and the interaction between
settimeout() and setblocking().

Changed test_timeout.py to conform to the guidelines in Lib/test/README.

of a new-style instance are detected by the garbage collector.

This was a simple typo.  Strange that the compiler didn't catch it!
Instead of WHY_CONTINUE, two tests used CONTINUE_LOOP, which isn't a
why_code at all, but an opcode; but even though 'why' is declared as
an enum, comparing it to an int is apparently not even worth a
warning -- not in gcc, and not in VC++. :-(

Will fix in 2.2 too.

also call using_history() to properly initialize history variables

[ 400998 ] experimental support for extended slicing on lists

somewhat spruced up and better tested than it was when I wrote it.

Includes docs & tests.  The whatsnew section needs expanding, and arrays
should support extended slices -- later.

slightly tweaked and modified for the idlefork config system

the semantics and presentation used in the library reference.
Added an explanation of the use of [...] to denote optional arguments, since
this is the only use of this in a signature line.

transformed them into the initial_indent and subsequent_indent instance
attributes.  Now they actually work as advertised, ie. they are
accounted for in the width of each output line.  Plus you can use them
with wrap() as well as fill(), and fill() went from simple-and-broken to
trivial-and-working.

This is essentially the same problem as that reported in bug 494904
for pickle: deepcopy should treat instances of custom metaclasses the
same way it treats instances of type 'type'.

and fill() methods.  Keep interface of existing wrap() and fill()
functions by going back to having them construct a new TextWrapper
instance on each call, with the preferred width passed to the
constructor.

Fixes SF 564840.

The WeakKeyDictionary constructor didn't work when a dict arg was
given.  Fixed by moving a line.  Also adding a unit test.

Bugfix candidate.

The file returned by tmpfile() has mode w+b, so use that in the call
to PyFile_FromFile().
