On OSX passing NULL to NewUniversalFilterProc() does not return NULL but a crashing UPP. This made ModalDialog (and, hence EditPythonPrefs and EasyDialogs and many others) crash. Fixed.

cookies that contain '=' as part of the value. This patch modifies
Cookie.py to allow '=' as a legal character, and to make the key
search nongreedy so it stops at the first '='.

save the __builtin__ module in a static variable.  But this doesn't
work across Py_Finalise()/Py_Initialize()!  It also doesn't work when
using multiple interpreter states created with PyInterpreterState_New().

So I'm ripping out this small optimization.

This was probably broken since PyImport_Import() was introduced in
1997!  We really need a better test suite for multiple interpreter
states and repeatedly initializing.

This fixes the problems Barry reported in Demo/embed/loop.c.

Added `realclean' target.

extra backslash is getting displayed in the generated HTML.

for \code(">>>"); don't know how to fix that one.

If someone knows how to turn the new table of guaranteed-registered system
sounds into a LaTeX table, be my guest.

SF patch #103749

    sub-classes and application code to override.

get_close_matches():  Do not use %-interpolation for strings when
    concatenation is more efficient.

New material on defining extension types.  Thanks!

(Small markup adjustments made, but this is mostly as received.)

Provide a way to set the paper size by name instead of only supporting
separate options for each size.

sgmllib does not recognize HTML attributes containing the semicolon
';' character. This may be in accordance with the HTML spec, but there
are sites that use it (excite.com) and the browsers I regularly use
(IE5, Netscape, Opera) all handle it. Doug Fort Downright Software LLC

-shared does the following things:
- invoke the linker with -G -dy -z text (the latter only if
  -mimpure-text was not given)
- drop crt1.o from the list of objects being linked
- drop -lc from the list of libraries being linked
OTOH, -G is just passed through to the linker.

The things that -shared does are necessary: crt1.o defines _start, and
requires main, so it should not be present in a shared library.
Likewise, -z text should be used to detect position-dependent code at
compile time.

files so that the date is properly updated on the front page.

Here is what I've hacked together over some spare time
at the weekend. I would appreciate feedback, as I've told
before I'm neither a great author, nor native english speaker,
nor anything else.

Mostly I've completed (and written) docs for bdist_wininst
(where I'm an experert for), also I've started some stuff
for the data_files and scripts option.

Should I continue in this way? Would others like to jump in?

the symbol table pass.  These blocks were already ignored by the code
gen pass.  Both passes must visit the same set of blocks in the same
order.

Move check_syntax() function into test_support.

    New method; this is the "alternate" access to the exception code.
    (Useful for Python DOM implementations that support the accessor
    method approach to retrieving attribute values.)

--bitmap command line option allows to use a different bitmap file instead
of the build-in python powered logo.
--title lets you specify the text to display on the background.

The editbox in the first screen now longer is
selected (highlighted), it had the WS_TABSTOP flag.

This is the patch
http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103687&group_id=5470
with two changes:
1. No messagebox displayed when the compilation to .pyc or .pyo files
failes, this will only confuse the user (and it will fail under certain
cases, where sys.path contains garbage).
2. A debugging print statement was removed from bdist_wininst.py.
