represents packages as strings, not tuples.  This allowed a simplification
in 'get_package_dir()', too -- can now assume that 'package' is a string.

unhexlify() respectively).

commonly used functions to convert an arbitrary binary string into
a hexadecimal digit representation and back again.  These are often
(and often differently) implemented in Python.  Best to have one
common fast implementation.  Specifically,

binascii_hexlify(): a.k.a. b2a_hex() to return the hex representation
of binary data.

binascii_unhexlify(): a.k.a. a2b_hex() to do the inverse conversion
(hex digits to binary data).  The argument must have an even length,
and must contain only hex digits, otherwise a TypeError is raised.

after a brief conversation with TP.  First, the return values of the
PyString_* function calls should be checked for errors.  Second,
bit-manipulations should be used instead of division for spliting the
byte up into its 4 bit digits.

to this module to mirror sha's hexdigest() method.

PyErr_Restore().

This was a misleading bug -- the true "bug" was that hash(x) gave an error
return when x is an infinity.  Fixed that.  Added new Py_IS_INFINITY macro to
pyport.h.  Rearranged code to reduce growing duplication in hashing of float and
complex numbers, pushing Trent's earlier stab at that to a logical conclusion.
Fixed exceedingly rare bug where hashing of floats could return -1 even if there
wasn't an error (didn't waste time trying to construct a test case, it was simply
obvious from the code that it *could* happen).  Improved complex hash so that
hash(complex(x, y)) doesn't systematically equal hash(complex(y, x)) anymore.

The existing win32_error() function now returns the new(ish) WindowsError, ensuring we get correct error messages.

Fix the parent of WindowsError - both the comments in this source file, and the previous exceptions.py have WindowsError as a sub-class of OSError.

string literals has not been tested on an MS_WIN16 platform; the trailing
";" was inside the #ifndef MS_WIN16, which should cause an error (missing
semi-colon) when compiled with that symbol #defined.

Support for building the new w9xpopen.exe, which is used for reliable popen operation on Windows 9x.

Ensure the "proxied" command's return code bubbles back up.

This is an enhancement to a prior patch (100941) ...
[T]his patch removes the risk of deadlock waiting for the child previously present in certain cases. It adds tracking of all file handles returned from an os.popen* call and only waits for the child process, returning the exit code, on the closure of the final file handle to that child.

incompatible C libraries in dynamically linked extensions.  It is not clear
(to me) how realistic the issue is, but it is better documented than not.
