taking a break!)

Also fixed some markup nits.

This is a variant of part of Michael Hudson's patch #409864 "lazy fix for
Pings bizarre scoping crash".

returning an int, or -1 for errors.

Add some helpers for supporting PyUNIT-based unit testing.

Patch to make "\" in a character group work properly.

This closes SF bug #409651.

- global stmt in class does not affect free vars in methods
- locals() works with free and cell vars

frees.  Note there doesn't seem to be any way to test LocalsToFast(),
because the instructions that trigger it are illegal in nested scopes
with free variables.

Fix allocation strategy for cells that are also formal parameters.
Instead of emitting LOAD_FAST / STORE_DEREF pairs for each parameter,
have the argument handling code in eval_code2() do the right thing.

A side-effect of this change is that cell variables that are also
arguments are listed at the front of co_cellvars in the order they
appear in the argument list.

Closes bug #231439.

and note that it fails when the TZ environment variable is not set.

This closes SF bug #409683.

  This patch was developed primarily to reduce the size of the
  frozen binary.  It is particularly useful when freezing for 'small'
  platforms, such as Palm OS, where you really want to save that
  last miserable byte.

  A limitation of this patch is that it does not provide any feedback
  about the replacements being made.  As the path matching
  is case-sensitive this may lead to unexpected behaviour for DOS
  and Windows people, eg
      > freeze.py -r C:\Python\Lib\=py\ goats.py
  should probably be:
      > freeze.py -r c:\python\lib\=py\ goats.py

Importing it typically fails anyway (no TZ variable defined), so this
is no great loss.

* Not sending content-type and content-length twice

hashable

This patch changes the behavior of slice objects in the following
manner:

- Slice objects are now comparable with other slice objects as though
they were logically tuples of (start,stop,step). The tuple is not
created in the comparison function, but the comparison behavior is
logically equivalent.

- Slice objects are not hashable. With the above change to being
comparable, slice objects now cannot be used as keys in dictionaries.

[I've edited the patch for style.  Note that this fixes the problem
that dict[i:j] seemed to work but was meaningless.  --GvR]

has a binding for the name.  The fix is in two places:

  - in symtable_update_free_vars, ignore a global stmt in a class scope
  - in symtable_load_symbols, add extra handling for names that are
    defined at class scope and free in a method
