[Bug #1508766] Add docs for uuid module; this puts the module in the 'Internet Protocols' section.  Arguably this module could also have gone in the chapters on strings or encodings, maybe even the crypto chapter.  Fred, please move if you see fit.

[Bug #1508766] Add docs for uuid module; docs written by George Yoshida, with minor rearrangements by me.

Make full module name available as __module_name__ even when __name__ is set to something else (like '__main__')

a KeyboardInterrupt since PyTuple_Pack was passed a NULL.

Will backport.

can be returned if fcntl (lockf) fails.  This fixes the test failure
on Tru64 by checking for either error rather than just EAGAIN.

dylib at the root of the framework, that way tools that expect a unix-like
install (python-config, but more importantly external products like
mod_python) work correctly.

way the resulting binaries have a better change of running on 10.3.

This patch also updates the search logic for sleepycat db3/4, without this
patch you cannot use a sleepycat build with a non-standard prefix; with this
you can (at least on OSX) if you add the prefix to CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS at
configure-time. This change is needed to build the binary installer for OSX.

OSX 10.3 when using a binary distribution build on 10.4.

Removed buggy exception handling in doRollover of rotating file handlers. Exceptions now propagate to caller.

No need to install lib-old, it's empty in 2.5.

copy.  This will hopefully catch problems where directories are added
under Lib/ but not to Makefile.pre.in.  This breaks out the 2 runs
of the test suite with and without -O which is also nicer.

consistent with os.wait() returning immediately because some other
subprocess had previously exited; the test suite then immediately
tries to lock the mailbox and gets an error saying it's already
locked.

To fix this, do a waitpid() so the test suite only continues once
the intended child process has exited.

On slow machines, maybe the time intervals (2 sec, 0.5 sec) will be too tight.
I'll see how the buildbots like it.

remove the flock() calls.

On FreeBSD, the two methods lockf() and flock() end up using the same
mechanism and the second one fails.  A Linux man page claims that the
two methods are orthogonal (so locks acquired one way don't interact
with locks acquired the other way) but that clearly must be false.

This change will probably break tests on FreeBSD buildbots, but I'll check in
a fix for that next.

Without this patch IDLE will get unresponsive when you open the debugger

	* Explain some of the Makefile variables
	* Remove some cruft dating to my environment (e.g. the 'web' target)

This makefile isn't currently invoked by the documentation build process,
so these changes won't destabilize anything.
