clobber".  This is done so that after a "make clean", setup.py will
also recompile all extensions.

ZipFile.close() method that should be part of the preceding 'if'

flush() on a file open for reading is not allowed.

this by changing the mode to "w".

like the one in the BeOpen license (and similar to the one in the CNRI
license, but with the "click-to-accept" part elided).

always:

- #undef HAVE_CONFIG_H (because otherwise chardefs.h tries to include
  strings.h)

- #include readline.h and history.h

and we never declare any readline function prototypes ourselves.

This makes it compile with readline 4.2, albeit with a few warnings.
Some of the remaining warnings are about completion_matches(), which
is renamed to rl_completion_matches().

I've tested it with various other versions, from 2.0 up, and they all
seem to work (some with warnings) -- but only on Red Hat Linux 6.2.

Fixing the warnings for readline 4.2 would break compatibility with
3.0 (and maybe even earlier versions), and readline doesn't seem to
have a way to test for its version at compile time, so I'd rather
leave the warnings in than break compilation with older versions.

versions.

Update docs for PyDict_Next() based on the most recent changes to the
dictionary code.

This closes SF patch #409864.

problem reported by Neil Schemenauer on python-dev on 4/12/01, wth
subject "Problem with SSL and socketmodule on Debian Potato?".

It's tentative because Moshe objected, but Martin rebutted, and Moshe
seems unavailable for comments.

(Note that with OpenSSL 0.9.6a, I get a lot of compilation warnings
for socketmodule.c -- I'm assuming I can safely ignore these until 2.1
is released.)

references to an object before calling registered callbacks).

Change last uses of verify() to self.assert_().

                   before calling any callbacks.  This is important
                   since the callback objects only look at themselves
                   to determine that they are invalide.  This change
                   avoids a segfault when callbacks use a different
                   reference to an object in the process of being
                   deallocated.

This fixes SF bug #415660.

(with modification of existing dict elements!).

This is part of SF patch #409864: lazy fix for Pings bizarre scoping
crash.

The adaptation I made to Michael's patch was to change the error
handling to avoid masking other errors (moving the specific error
message to inside test_dict_inner()), and to insert a test for
dict==NULL at the start.

now raises NameError instead of UnboundLocalError, because the var in
question is definitely not local.  (This affects test_scope.py)

Also update the recent fix by Ping using get_func_name().  Replace
tests of get_func_name() return value with call to get_func_desc() to
match all the other uses.

Wrap some long lines and fix some markup nits.

   Calling an unbound method on a C extension class without providing
   an instance can yield a segfault.  Try "Exception.__init__()" or
   "ValueError.__init__()".

   This is a simple fix. The error-reporting bits in call_method
   mistakenly treat the misleadingly-named variable "func" as a
   function, when in fact it is a method.

   If we let get_func_name take care of the work, all is fine.

- Removed the subsection numbering in section B (each time a new
  license is inserted in the front, the others have to be renumbered).

- Changed the words in the intro to avoid implying that 1.6.1 is
  GPL-compatible.
