installation directories in the "install" command.

Show how code can be written to handle __getslice__ & friends in a way that
is compatible with pre-2.0 versions of Python while still working with the
"new" way of handling slicing.

Additional explanation added by Fred Drake.

This closes SourceForge patch #101388.

According to Justin Pettit, this also works on OpenBSD, so I've added
that symbol as well.

unicode_internal_decode function to support Unicode objects
directly rather than by generating a copy of the object.

"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.

The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().

The patch also adds an optimization for string objects which is
based on the fact that string objects return the raw character data
for getreadbuffer access and are always single-segment.

"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data

flag is true, is set to a StringIO object that silently collects all
debug messages.  This is triggered by the Node._debug=1 statement at
the top of test_minidom.py.  After the tests, we better delete that
StringIO object to avoid wasting memory.  We also reset the _debug
flag.  (Note that this is an undetectable memory leak, and the memory
doesn't get collected by the cycle-gc either, because it's all
reachable -- it's just useless.)

data and default handlers -- a new reference was being passed to
Py_BuildValue() for the "O" format character; using "N" plugs the leak.

Fixed two other (minor) leaks that occurred on various error conditions.

Removed uses of the UNLESS macro, which makes code hard to read, and is
Evil.

Add support for parsing already-opened files.  Make sure the parse()
method closes exactly those files that it opens.

    Bumped the title to beta 2.

Note a curious extension to the std C rules:  x, X and o formatting can never produce
a sign character in C, so the '+' and ' ' flags are meaningless for them.  But
unbounded ints *can* produce a sign character under these conversions (no fixed-
width bitstring is wide enough to hold all negative values in 2's-comp form).  So
these flags become meaningful in Python when formatting a Python long which is too
big to fit in a C long.  This required shuffling around existing code, which hacked
x and X conversions to death when both the '#' and '0' flags were specified:  the
hacks weren't strong enough to deal with the simultaneous possibility of the ' ' or
'+' flags too, since signs were always meaningless before for x and X conversions.
Isomorphic shuffling was required in unicodeobject.c.
Also added dozens of non-trivial new unbounded-int test cases to test_format.py.
