Made conversion failure error messages consistent between types.
Added related unittests.

The specific warning is that clean didn't find a directory that should
be removed if it exists.

out how to just activate my code on platforms where I know it works
(currently only linux/x86).

equivalent attributes in a few more spots.

This closes SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/562373

Also, added more regression tests to cover the new type and test its
conformity with range().

Change default for get() back to None.
Will backport to 2.2.1.

Closes SF patch # 560250.

Bugfix candidate IMO.

Fix a bunch of multiline string constants that used +.

Call ensure_string() with one arg too, since the second value passed
was the default.

Make all returns explicit and rearrange logic to avoid extra
indentation.

mode is not computed in dry_run mode, so it can't be included in the
log message.

Fixes a bug for Solaris pkgtool (bdist_pkgtool) that would have
prevented it from building subpackages.

constant.

This is a conservative version of SF patch 504889.  It uses the log
module instead of calling print in various places, and it ignores the
verbose argument passed to many functions and set as an attribute on
some objects.  Instead, it uses the verbosity set on the logger via
the command line.

The log module is now preferred over announce() and warn() methods
that exist only for backwards compatibility.

XXX This checkin changes a lot of modules that have no test suite and
aren't exercised by the Python build process.  It will need
substantial testing.

While I was at it, I added a tp_clear handler and changed the
tp_dealloc handler to use the clear_slots helper for the tp_clear
handler.

Also tightened the rules for slot names: they must now be proper
identifiers (ignoring the dirty little fact that <ctype.h> is locale
sensitive).

Also set mp->flags = READONLY for the __weakref__ pseudo-slot.

Most of this is a 2.2 bugfix candidate; I'll apply it there myself.

 # XXX this isn't used anywhere, and worse, it has the same name as a method
 # in Command with subtly different semantics.  (This one just has one
 # source -> one dest; that one has many sources -> one dest.)  Nuke it?

Yes.  Nuke it.

Make Tkinter.TclError derive from Exception, it was a string.
