and (b) stop trying to prevent file growth.

Beef up the file.truncate() docs.

Change test_largefile.py to stop assuming that f.truncate() moves the
file pointer to the truncation point, and to verify instead that it leaves
the file position alone.  Remove the test for what happens when a
specified size exceeds the original file size (it's ill-defined, according
to the Single Unix Spec).

Use IOErrors where file objects use them.

dropping MS's inadequate _chsize() function.  This was inspired by
SF patch 498109 ("fileobject truncate support for win32"), which I
rejected.

libstdtypes.tex:  Someone who knows should update the availability
blurb.  For example, if it's available on Linux, it would be good to
say so.

test_largefile:  Uncommented the file.truncate() tests, and reworked to
do more.  The old comment about "permission errors" in the truncation
tests under Windows was almost certainly due to that the file wasn't open
for *write* access at this point, so of course MS wouldn't let you
truncate it.  I'd be appalled if a Unixish system did.

CAUTION:  Someone should run this test on Linux (etc) too.  The
truncation part was commented out before.  Note that test_largefile isn't
run by default.

Adapter from SF patch 528038; fixes SF bug 527816.

The wrapper for __nonzero__ should be wrap_inquiry rather than
wrap_unaryfunc, since the slot returns an int, not a PyObject *.

Fixes #527855.

There's no actual patch there.  It's an objection that Guido's example
doesn't actually generator "leaves", so change the comment that says
it does.

Don't automatically add a Host: header if the headers passed to
request() already has a Host key.

Another year in the quest to out-guess random C behavior.

Added macros Py_ADJUST_ERANGE1(X) and Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2(X, Y).  The latter
is useful for functions with complex results.  Two corrections to errno-
after-libm-call are attempted:

1. If the platform set errno to ERANGE due to underflow, clear errno.
   Some unknown subset of libm versions and link options do this.  It's
   allowed by C89, but I never figured anyone would do it.

2. If the platform did not set errno but overflow occurred, force
   errno to ERANGE.  C89 required setting errno to ERANGE, but C99
   doesn't.  Some unknown subset of libm versions and link options do
   it the C99 way now.

Bugfix candidate, but hold off until some Linux people actually try it,
with and without -lieee.  I'll send a help plea to Python-Dev.

Untested, of course.

It seems that the new class HTTP11 in httplib.test() isn't
discoverable by pyclbr, which causes this test to fail.

If result == Py_NotImplemented, always DECREF it before assigning a
new value to result.

PyNumber_Add() tries the nb_add slot first, then falls back to
sq_concat.  However, tt didn't check the return value of sq_concat.
If sq_concat returns NotImplemented, raise the standard TypeError.

In August, Greg said this looked good, so I'm going ahead with it.

The fix is different from the one in the bug report.  Instead of using
a regular expression to extract the host from the url, I use
urlparse.urlsplit.

Martin commented that the patch doesn't address URLs that have basic
authentication username and password in the header.  I don't see any
code anywhere in httplib that supports this feature, so I'm not going
to address it for this fix.
