Update the "in" / "not in" description to accomodate the current use
of the __contains__() discipline.  This patch also incorporates
suggestions from Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>, minor markup
revisions from Fred Drake, and some rewording of the first affected
paragraph (also from Fred).

Closes SourceForge patch #100831.

improvements for indentation-related error messages.

elements (since the table was pretty screwed up); this is how it is done
elsewhere in the manual.

I could use some help creating descriptions of the specific error
identifiers (input conditions that lead to each error, etc.).

The Compare close contains a close method that checks to see if there
is any unconsumed data in the Compare instance; i.e. if the canonical
output file contains more data than was produced by the current test
run. This method was never called, allowing differences to go
undetected.

Fix is to call close after the test is run (after __import__)

output/test_long and output/test_popen2 needed trivial changes
output/test_select contained lots of text, but test_select.py produced
    no output

Change a cast, intialize a local, and make some sprintf() format strings
type-appropriate (add the "l" to "%d").

better error message for unicode coercion failure

seqlen==1 clause, before returning item, we need to DECREF seq.  In
the res=PyString... failure clause, we need to goto finally to also
decref seq (and the DECREF of res in finally is changed to a
XDECREF).  Also, we need to DECREF seq just before the
PyUnicode_Join() return.

1. PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM is a macro and borrows a reference
2. The seq returned from PySequence_Fast must be decref'd

about int size mismatches at two calls to s_rand.  Stuffed in
casts to make the code do what it did before but w/o warnings --
although unclear that's correct!

implementation -- use PySequence_Fast interface to iterate over elements
interface -- if instance object reports wrong length, ignore it;
   previous version raised an IndexError if reported length was too high

-- added a few extra comments to locale.py

  value is calculated from the character values, in a way
  that makes sure an 8-bit ASCII string and a unicode string
  with the same contents get the same hash value.

  (as a side effect, this also works for ISO Latin 1 strings).

a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call.  Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.

This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed.  Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.

I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.

  There is a silly bug in the fall-back dumbdbm.py database package in
  the Python 1.5.2 standard distro. This bug causes any changes to an
  existing item to generate a new key, even when the key already
  exists.  After many updates, the .dir file used by dumbdbm grows to
  a huge size, and can cause filesystem problems.
