We really need a simpler testing framework.

No functional change.  Add comment and assert to describe why there cannot be overflow which was reported by Klocwork.  Discussed on python-dev

to kill a cygwin instance.  build\\python.exe was matching a normal windows
instance.  Prefix that with a \\ to ensure build is a directory and not
PCbuild.  As discussed on python-dev.

In general, C doesn't define anything about what happens when
an operation on a signed integral type overflows, and PyOS_strtol()
did several formally undefined things of that nature on signed
longs.  Some version of gcc apparently tries to exploit that now,
and PyOS_strtol() could fail to detect overflow then.

Tried to repair all that, although it seems at least as likely to me
that we'll get screwed by bad platform definitions for LONG_MIN
and/or LONG_MAX now.  For that reason, I don't recommend backporting
this.

Note that I have no box on which this makes a lick of difference --
can't really test it, except to note that it didn't break anything
on my boxes.

Silent change:  PyOS_strtol() used to return the hard-coded 0x7fffffff
in case of overflow.  Now it returns LONG_MAX.  They're the same only on
32-bit boxes (although C doesn't guarantee that either ...).

just ImportError.  This allows documentation tools to better skip unimportable
packages.

[Bug #1471938] Fix build problem on Solaris 8 by conditionalizing the use of mvwgetnstr(); it was conditionalized a few lines below.  Fix from Paul Eggert.  I also tried out the STRICT_SYSV_CURSES case and am therefore removing the 'untested' comment.

Fix httplib.HTTPConnection.getresponse to not close the
socket if it is still needed for the response.

Also add a guard against NULL in converttuple and add a test case
(that previously would have crashed).

it into email 4.0.  Specifically, in Message.get_content_charset(), handle RFC
2231 headers that contain an encoding not known to Python, or a character in
the data that isn't in the charset encoding.  Also forward port the
appropriate unit tests.

This adds a new key definition for OSX, which is slightly different from the
classic mac definition.

Also add NEWS item for a couple of bugfixes I added recently.

without causing problems for anyone that is on a case-insensitive filesystem).

Setup.py tries to compile the MacOS extension from MacOSmodule.c, while the
actual file is named macosmodule.c. This is no problem on the (default)
case-insensitive filesystem, but doesn't work on case-sensitive filesystems.

Will backport to 2.4.

to guess /which/ line the spawned thread is in at the time
sys._current_frames() is called:  we know it finished
enter_g.set(), but can't know whether the instruction
counter has advanced to the following leave_g.wait().
The latter is overwhelming most likely, but not guaranteed,
and I see that the "x86 Ubuntu dapper (icc) trunk" buildbot
found it on the other line once.  Changed the test so it
passes in either case.
