This module raises "SystemError: module dl requires sizeof(int) ==
sizeof(long) == sizeof(char*)" when compiled on 64-bit platforms.

The file itself still mentions Python 1.5.1,
so it might need further updates.

Note that there is no str.joinfields(), use str.join() instead.

settable).  This is useful so users of this class can report the
correct message number (e.g. when classifying spam).

Also added a blank line before the first method of each class.

routines.  I got some errors "dictionary changed size during
iteration" when running ZEO tests on machine while doing heavy
forground work in another window, and thinking about it, I believe
that it should be okay if readable() or writable() modifies the map.

I also finally made all the spacing conform to the Python style guide:
no space between a function/method name and the following left
parenthesis (fixed lots of occurrences), spaces around assignment
operators (fixed a few, always of the form "map=..."), and a blank
line between the class statement and the first method definition (a
few).

the work of the XML-SIG in the main body of the text.

Modify the markup in a few places to avoid wrapping lines in bad
places, and just general cleanliness.

(with one small bugfix in bgen/bgen/scantools.py)

This replaces string module functions with string methods
for the stuff in the Tools directory. Several uses of
string.letters etc. are still remaining.

the range of ints.  The old code would pass random truncated bits to
sq_repeat() on a 64-bit machine.

for their contributions to the snake farm.

Because ob_size is a 32-bit int but sys.maxint is LONG_MAX which is a
64-bit value, there's no way to make this test succeed on a 64-bit
platform.  So just skip it when sys.maxint isn't 0x7fffffff.

iter(self.keys()).

Note that distutils.core.DEBUG still works if client code uses it, but
the core code avoids circular references by using distutils.debug.

but returns r->len which is a long.  This doesn't even cause a warning
on 32-bit platforms, but can return bogus values on 64-bit platforms
(and should cause a compiler warning).  Fix this by inserting a range
check when LONG_MAX != INT_MAX, and adding an explicit cast to (int)
when the test passes.  When r->len is out of range, PySequence_Size()
and hence len() will report an error (but an iterator will still
work).

This makes things a touch more like 2.2.  Read the comments in
Python/ceval.c for more details.

with a size larger than the underlying file worked on Windows.  It
does <wink>.  However, merely creating an mmap that way has the side
effect of growing the file on disk to match the specified size.  A
*later* test assumed that the file on disk was still exactly as it was
before the new "size too big" test was added, but that's no longer true.
So added a hack at the end of the "size too big" test to truncate the
disk file back to its original size on Windows.

boundary could be found -- in a lax parser -- the entire body is
assigned to the message payload.

_handle_text(): Use _isstring() for stringiness test.

_handle_multipart(): Add a test before the ListType test, checking for
stringiness of the payload.  String payloads for multitypes means a
message with broken MIME chrome was parsed by a lax parser.  Instead
of raising a BoundaryError in those cases, the entire body is assigned
to the message payload (but since the content type is still
multipart/*, the Generator needs to be updated too).
