The GUI-mode code to display properties blew up if the property functions
(get, set, etc) weren't simply methods (or functions).

"The problem" here is really that the generic document() method dispatches
to one of .doc{routine, class, module, other}(), but all of those require
a different(!) number of arguments.  Thus document isn't general-purpose
at all:  you have to know exactly what kind of thing is it you're going
to document first, in order to pass the correct number of arguments to
.document for it to pass on.  As an expedient hack, just tacked "*ignored"
on to the end of the formal argument lists for the .docXXX routines so
that .document's caller doesn't have to know in advance which path
.document is going to take.

<grp.h> it seems.  This requires yet another configure test.

#463572.  Closing.

The right fix is to generate line number events anyway ;-), but this will
have to do for now.

SRE bug #432570, 448951:

also bumped version number to 2.2.0

(With slight cosmetic improvements to shorten lines and a grammar fix
to a docstring.)

This addes -X and -E options to freeze.  From the docstring:

-X module     Like -x, except the module can never be imported by
              the frozen binary.

-E:           Freeze will fail if any modules can't be found (that
              were not excluded using -x or -X).

points in the spawn*() description.

This fixes the behavior reported by SF bug #404545, where a file
x.y.py could be imported by the statement "import x.y" when there's a
frozen package x (I believe even if x.y also exists as a frozen
module).

:-).

Add a test that prevents the __hello__ bytecode from going stale
unnoticed again.

The test also tests the loophole noted in SF bug #404545.  This test
will fail right now; I'll check in the fix in a minute.

Remove inconsistent use of HTMLDIR.

handlers.  This was fixed in Objects/weakrefobject.c 1.2.

the left-hand operand may not be the proxy in all cases.  If it isn't,
we end up doing two things: a) unwrapping something that isn't a
PyWeakReference (later resulting in a core dump) and b) passing a
proxy as the right-hand operand anyway, even though that can't be
handled by the actual handler (maybe eventually causing a core dump).

This is fixed by always unwrapping all the proxies involved before
passing anything to the actual handler.

Solved with a helper method that calls finish_request() and then
close_request().  The code is by Max Neunhöffer.

The symbol table pass didn't have an explicit case for the list_iter
node which is used only for a nested list comprehension.  As a result,
the target of the list comprehension was treated as a use instead of
an assignment.  Fix is to add a case to symtable_node() to handle
list_iter.

Also, rework and document a couple of the subtler implementation
issues in the symbol table pass.  The symtable_node() switch statement
depends on falling through the last several cases, in order to handle
some of the more complicated nodes like atom.  Add a comment
explaining the behavior before the first fall through case.  Add a
comment /* fall through */ at the end of case so that it is explicitly
marked as such.

Move the for_stmt case out of the fall through logic, which simplifies
both for_stmt and default.  (The default used the local variable start
to skip the first three nodes of a for_stmt when it fell through.)

Rename the flag argument to symtable_assign() to def_flag and add a
comment explaining its use:

   The third argument to symatble_assign() is a flag to be passed to
   symtable_add_def() if it is eventually called.  The flag is useful
   to specify the particular type of assignment that should be
   recorded, e.g. an assignment caused by import.

The fix is a band-aid: type_call() now makes the same exception for a
single-argument call to type() as type_new() was already making.

to link a C++ main using the C++ compiler. Fixes #472007.

isinstance() now allows any object as the first argument and a class, a
type or something with a __bases__ tuple attribute for the second
argument.  This closes SF patch #464992.

(The rest of the test cases are trivial, so I don't feel too bad.)

Quoth the OpenSSL RAND_add man page:

    OpenSSL makes sure that the PRNG state is unique for each
    thread. On systems that provide /dev/urandom, the
    randomness device is used to seed the PRNG transparently.
    However, on all other systems, the application is
    responsible for seeding the PRNG by calling RAND_add(),
    RAND_egd(3) or RAND_load_file(3).

I decided to expose RAND_add() because it's general and RAND_egd()
because it's a useful special case.  RAND_load_file() didn't seem to
offer much over RAND_add(), so I skipped it.  Also supplied
RAND_status() which returns true if the PRNG is seeded and false if
not.
