many types were subclassable but had a xxx_dealloc function that
called PyObject_DEL(self) directly instead of deferring to
self->ob_type->tp_free(self).  It is permissible to set tp_free in the
type object directly to _PyObject_Del, for non-GC types, or to
_PyObject_GC_Del, for GC types.  Still, PyObject_DEL was a tad faster,
so I'm fearing that our pystone rating is going down again.  I'm not
sure if doing something like

void xxx_dealloc(PyObject *self)
{
	if (PyXxxCheckExact(self))
		PyObject_DEL(self);
	else
		self->ob_type->tp_free(self);
}

is any faster than always calling the else branch, so I haven't
attempted that -- however those types whose own dealloc is fancier
(int, float, unicode) do use this pattern.

Give Fred his Jr.

    This patch allows ConfigParser.getboolean() to interpret TRUE,
    FALSE, YES, NO, ON and OFF instead just '0' and '1'.

    While just allowing '0' and '1' sounds more correct users often
    demand to use more descriptive directives in configuration
    files. Instead of forcing every programmer do brew his own
    solution a system should include the batteries for this.

[My modification to the patch is a slight rewording of the docstring
and use of lowercase instead of uppercase templates.  The code is
still case sensitive. GvR.]

The new profiler event stream includes a "return" event even when an
exception is being propogated, but the machinery that called the profile
hook did not save & restore the exception.  In debug mode, the exception
was detected during the execution of the profile callback, which did not
have the proper internal flags set for the exception.  Saving & restoring
the exception state solves the problem.

on IRIX 6.5).

The profiler does not need to know anything about the exception state,
so we no longer call it when an exception is raised.  We do, however,
make sure we *always* call the profiler when we exit a frame.  This
ensures that timing events are more easily isolated by a profiler and
finally clauses that do a lot of work don't have their time
mis-allocated.

When an exception is propogated out of the frame, the C callback for
the profiler now receives a PyTrace_RETURN event with an arg of NULL;
the Python-level profile hook function will see a 'return' event with
an arg of None.  This means that from Python it is impossible for the
profiler to determine if the frame exited with an exception or if it
returned None, but this doesn't matter for profiling.  A C-based
profiler could tell the difference, but this doesn't seem important.

classes (sheesh!).

For a dynamically constructed type object, fill in the tp_doc slot with
a copy of the argument dict's "__doc__" value, provided the latter exists
and is a string.
NOTE:  I don't know what to do if it's a Unicode string, so in that case
tp_doc is left NULL (which shows up as Py_None if you do Class.__doc__).
Note that tp_doc holds a char*, not a general PyObject*.

it deals correctly with some anomalous cases; according to this test
suite I've fixed it right.

The anomalous cases had to do with 'exception' events: these aren't
generated when they would be most helpful, and the profiler has to
work hard to recover the right information.  The problems occur when C
code (such as hasattr(), which is used as the example here) calls back
into Python code and clears an exception raised by that Python code.
Consider this example:

    def foo():
        hasattr(obj, "bar")

Where obj is an instance from a class like this:

    class C:
        def __getattr__(self, name):
            raise AttributeError

The profiler sees the following sequence of events:

    call (foo)
    call (__getattr__)
    exception (in __getattr__)
    return (from foo)

Previously, the profiler would assume the return event returned from
__getattr__. An if statement checking for this condition and raising
an exception was commented out...  This version does the right thing.
