Will backport.

the end of code blocks.

Patch contributed by Patrick O'Brien.

Backport candidate.  All but one or two of these changes
are applicable to 2.2.2.

Make the code slightly shorter, faster, and easier to
read.

* Eliminate unused DUP_TOPX code for x==1.
compile.c always generates DUP_TOP instead.

* Since only two cases remain for DUP_TOPX, replace
the switch-case with if-elseif.

* The in-lined integer compare does a CheckExact on
both arguments. Since the second is a little more
likely to fail, test it first.

* The switch-case for IS/IS_NOT and IN/NOT_IN can
separate the regular and inverted cases with no
additional work. For all four paths, saves a test and
jump.

var for clarity.

From Brett Cannon.  Mostly speedups via caching format string ->
compiled regexp.

The Py2.3 updates to the pyclbr module return both Class and Function
objects.  The IDLE ClassBrowser module only knew about Class and could
not handle objects which did not define "super".

Fixed by adding a guard.

Gernot Hillier added more detail to the internal API documentation.

Patch from Brett Cannon:

    First, the 'y' directive now handles [00, 68] as a suffix for the
    21st century while [69, 99] is treated as the suffix for the 20th
    century (this is for Open Group compatibility).

    strptime now returns default values that make it a valid date ...

    the ability to pass in a regex object to use instead of a format
    string (and the inverse ability to have strptime return a regex object)
    has been removed. This is in preparation for a future patch that will
    add some caching internally to get a speed boost.

- AskFileForSave didn't work for string return values
- filterProc didn't work.

the AEDesc data shouldn't be disposed when the Python object is.

Added a C call AEDesc_NewBorrowed() to create these objects and a Python
method old=AEDesc.AutoDispose(onoff) to change auto-dispose state.

Not anymore it ain't.

function can't handle, don't raise IOError -- that doesn't make sense.
Raise ValueError instead.

Bugfix candidate.

* Use Sets module to more clearly articulate a couple of tests.

are going to replace StandardGetFile() and friends. Main differences are
that these allow you to ask for specific datatypes to be returned (FSSpec,
FSRef, string, unicode or subtypes thereof) and that they provide access
to underlying features of Navigation Services through keyword arguments.

        underlying DB has already been closed (and thus all of its cursors).
        This fixes a potential segfault.
