use_italics():  Remove both functions, inlining use_italics() at its
                only call site.

init_myformat():  Uncomment line so that some internal markup does not
                  get generated, since it is not properly removed later.
                  (Fix on aspect of SourceForge bug #114749.)

Modified call to process_commands_wrap_deferred(), removing \code from
the list since it had a bad interaction with other changes in some contexts.

Someone with access to HP-UX, please test this!  (Is '__hppa' or
'hppa' really the correct symbol to test for?)

  used to find cyclic garbage produced by tests.

- Use exceptions rather than asserts for failing tests.
- Reorganize tests and produce some output if verbose option is set.

  collector will be saved in gc.garbage.  This is useful for debugging a
  program that creates reference cycles.

- Fix else statements in gcmodule.c to conform to Python coding standards.

PyErr_Occurred().  Removed the extra test and setting of a
bogus exception.

subset of Win32 ShellExecute's functionality.  Guido wants this because
IDLE's Help -> Docs function currently crashes his machine because of a
conflict between his version of Norton AntiVirus (6.10.20) and MS's
_popen.  Docs for startfile are being mailed to Fred (or just read the
docstring -- it tells the whole story).
Changed webbrowser.py to use os.startfile instead of os.popen on Windows.
Changed IDLE's EditorWindow.py to pass an absolute path for the docs
(hardcoding ShellExecute's "directory" arg to "." as used to be done let
IDLE work, but made the startfile command exceedingly obscure for other
uses -- the MS docs are terrible, of course, & still not sure I
understand it).
Note that Windows Python must link with shell32.lib now!  That's where
ShellExecute lives.

Closes Bug #115054.

<file>.readlines() does not call <file>.readline() internally anymore,
and the sizehint parameter should be mentioned briefly.

Some displays of floating point numbers needed to be updated due to the
change in the repr() of floats (from 1.6).

Both issues were noted by Aahz <aahz@panix.com>.

as well as scheme, and don't convert all installation paths (that's now
done by the "install" command for us).

'convert_paths()' method to convert them all to the local syntax (backslash
or colon or whatever) at the appropriate time.

Added SCHEME_KEYS to get rid of one hard-coded list of attributes (in
'select_scheme()').

Default 'install_path_file' to true, and never set it false (it's just
there in case some outsider somewhere wants to disable installation of the
.pth file for whatever reason).

Toned down the warning emitted when 'install_path_file' is false, since we
no longer know why it might be false.

Added 'warn_dir' flag to suppress warning when installing to a directory
not in sys.path (again, we never set this false -- it's there for outsiders
to use, specifically the "bdist_*" commands).

Pulled the loop of 'change_root()' calls out to new method 'change_roots()'.

up when the pathname starts with '/', which is needed when converting
installation directories in the "install" command.

Show how code can be written to handle __getslice__ & friends in a way that
is compatible with pre-2.0 versions of Python while still working with the
"new" way of handling slicing.

This closes SourceForge patch #101388.

According to Justin Pettit, this also works on OpenBSD, so I've added
that symbol as well.

and bumped the version number to 1.7.

unicode_internal_decode function to support Unicode objects
directly rather than by generating a copy of the object.

"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.

The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().

The patch also adds an optimization for string objects which is
based on the fact that string objects return the raw character data
for getreadbuffer access and are always single-segment.

"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.
