connect error

comma expression in listpop() that was being returned.  Still essentially
unused (as it is meant to be), but now the compiler thinks it is worth
*something* by having it incremented.

- fix broken assert statement; should just raise

have differing refcount semantics.  If anyone sees a prettier way to
acheive the same ends, then please go for it.

I think this is the first time I've ever used Py_XINCREF.

(or to whatever the 'insert' method chose to return).

must have annoyed me at some point.

* Fixes an incorrect variable in a PyDict_CheckExact.
* Allow general mapping locals arguments for the execfile() function
  and exec statement.
* Add tests.

after a failed import.

This is the last checkin in the "change import failure semantics" series.

    test_failing_import_sticks -- if an import raises an exception,
        ensure that trying to import it again continues raising exceptions
    test_failing_reload -- if a module loads OK, but a reload raises an
        exception, ensure that the module is still in sys.modules, and
        that its __dict__ reflects as much of the reload attempt as
        succeeded.  That doesn't seem like sane semantics, but it is
        backward-compatible semantics <wink>.

getting left beyind in sys.modules.

PyImport_ReloadModule():  restore the module to sys.modules in error cases.
load_package():  semantic-neutral refactoring from an earlier stab at
                 this patch; giving it a common error exit made the code
                 easier to follow, so retaining that part.
_RemoveModule():  new little utility to delete a key from sys.modules.

in failure cases, incompletely initalized module objects are no longer
left behind in sys.modules.

already correct, so not changed here.

of no more than 8 elements cannot fail.

listpop():  Take advantage of that its calls to list_resize() and
list_ass_slice() can't fail.  This is assert'ed in a debug build now, but
in an icky way.  That is, you can't say:

	assert(some_call() >= 0);

because then some_call() won't occur at all in a release build.  So it
has to be a big pile of #ifdefs on Py_DEBUG (yuck), or the pleasant:

        status = some_call();
        assert(status >= 0);

But in that case, compilers may whine in a release build, because status
appears unused then.  I'm not certain the ugly trick I used here will
convince all compilers to shut up about status (status is always "used" now,
as the first (ignored) clause in a comma expression).

This fixes 15 spurious test failures on Windows (probably all due to
the test leaving a wrong path in sys.argv[0], which then prevented
regrtest.py from finding the expected-output files for tests running
after test_optparse).

  * add expansion of default values in help text: the string
    "%default" in an option's help string is expanded to str() of
    that option's default value, or "none" if no default value.
  * bug #955889: option default values that happen to be strings are
    now processed in the same way as values from the command line; this
    allows generation of nicer help when using custom types.  Can
    be disabled with parser.set_process_default_values(False).
  * bug #960515: don't crash when generating help for callback
    options that specify 'type', but not 'dest' or 'metavar'.
  * feature #815264: change the default help format for short options
    that take an argument from e.g. "-oARG" to "-o ARG"; add
    set_short_opt_delimiter() and set_long_opt_delimiter() methods to
    HelpFormatter to allow (slight) customization of the formatting.
  * patch #736940: internationalize Optik: all built-in user-
    targeted literal strings are passed through gettext.gettext().  (If
    you want translations (.po files), they're not included with Python
    -- you'll find them in the Optik source distribution from
    http://optik.sourceforge.net/ .)
  * bug #878453: respect $COLUMNS environment variable for
    wrapping help output.
  * feature #988122: expand "%prog" in the 'description' passed
    to OptionParser, just like in the 'usage' and 'version' strings.
    (This is *not* done in the 'description' passed to OptionGroup.)
