Added some support for Uicode arguments. Still leaves something to be desired, especially because of poor unicode support in PyArg_ParseTuple.

Test that the file methods raise ValueError when called on a closed file.
Test .isatty()
Test name, closed attributes

This makes xreadlines behave like all other file methods
(other than close() which just returns).

test_complex:  repair new test's usage of vereq().

the finally clause.  An exception here could happen when a daemon

This should fix SF bug ##497111: active_limbo_lock error at program
exit.

2.1.2 and 2.2.1 Bugfix candidate!

deepcopy(), _reconstruct(): pass the memo to the other function, so
that recursive data structures built out of new-style objects may be
deeply copied correctly.

2.2.1 bugfix!

Instead of sending the real user and host, use "anonymous@" (i.e. no

alphabetical order (!), and the obsolete 'extend' directory is no
longer mentioned.

This and the erasure of the extend directory are 2.2.1 bugfix
candidates (but only of you want to be thorough -- it's not like
anybody cares :-).

no longer exists.  Docs for distutils are plenty elsewhere.

doesn't have the _HEAPTYPE flag set, e.g. for time.struct_time and
posix.stat_result.

This fixes the immediate symptoms of SF bug #496873 (cPickle /
time.struct_time loop), replacing the infinite loop with an exception.

statvfs_result was in fact the stat_result type object. :-(

2.2.1 bugfix!
