when an unbound method of class A is stored as a class variable of
class B, and class B is *not* a subclass of class A, that method
should *not* get bound to B instances.

yet).

the metatype passed in as an argument.  This prevents infinite
recursion when a metatype written in Python calls type.__new__() as a
"super" call.

If genpluginprojects is called from fullbuild we set the Python source directory to be the same as fullbuild uses (in stead of using the default sys.prefix). This fixes an issue Mark Day raised that you can't use fullbuild with one Python installation to build another one.

    I have no way of testing this.

  In particular, on Windows it doesn't produce a leading "0x".

    The indirection seems useful since this subtly changes the path

parameter, but did not.  This was found because it can create failures
elsewhere based on the presence of mime.types files in some common locations
the module searches by default.

(I will be writing a test for this module shortly!)

optimization for dynamic classes.  If __getattr__ is not found as an
attribute on the type, slot_tp_getattro replaces itself with
PyObject_GenericGetAttr.  This means you can't add a __getattr__
method to a class after the fact -- but you can still *change* a
__getattr__ method into a different one.

(A similar restriction exists for classic classes.)

- type_module(), type_name(): if tp_name contains one or more period,
  the part before the last period is __module__, the part after that
  is __name__.  Otherwise, for non-heap types, __module__ is
  "__builtin__".  For heap types, __module__ is looked up in
  tp_defined.

- type_new(): heap types have their __module__ set from
  globals().__name__; a pre-existing __module__ in their dict is not
  overridden.  This is not inherited.

- type_repr(): if __module__ exists and is not "__builtin__", it is
  included in the string representation (just as it already is for
  classes).  For example <type '__main__.C'>.

- descrobject.c:descr_check(): only believe None means the same as
  NULL if the type given is None's type.

- typeobject.c:wrap_descr_get(): don't "conventiently" default an
  absent type to the type of the object argument.  Let the called
  function figure it out.

- initsigs(): Ignore SIGXFZ so writing files beyond the file system

from Py_Initialize() instead of accumulating calls there.

Also rename type(None) to NoneType and type(NotImplemented) to
NotImplementedType -- naming the type identical to the object was
confusing.
