fairly large, most are caused by reformatting section and subsection
headings.  The changes fall into the following categories:

    * reformatted section and subsection headers.

    * escaped isolated asterisks which would be interpreted as starting bold
      or italic text (e.g. "void (*)(PyObject \*)").

    * quoted stuff that looks like internal references but isn't
      (e.g. ``PyCmp_``).

    * changed visually balanced quotes to just use apostrophes
      (e.g. "'string'" instead of "`string'").

    * introduced and indenting multiline chunks of code.

    * created one table (search for "New codecs").

This fixes the charming, but unhelpful error message for
>>> pickle.dumps(type.__new__)
Can't pickle <built-in method __new__ of type object at 0x812a440>: it's not the same object as datetime.math.__new__

Bugfix candidate.

Bring idle.pyw into alignment with idle.py, eliminate calling deleted
module IdleConf.py

Bugfix candidate for 2.2.2.

because there test_grammar.py pulls them out of strings there.

(Same problem as last checkin for SF bug 610610)
Need to clear the error and proceed.

Backport candidate

failures on Windows.  Closes SF bug # 609988.

Removing config-mac.txt, not used in Idlefork

Missed adding "import types" while merging PyShell by hand....

The switch in Exception__str__ didn't clear the error if
PySequence_Size() raised an exception.  Added a case -1 which clears
the error and falls through to the default case.

Definite backport candidate (this dates all the way to Python 2.0).

Rev 1.6 GvR
Finally fix SF bug #441172, using a variant of patch ##443626:
canceling an edit operation would not revert the value of the field.
The fix takes care to destroy the Entry object, as suggested in the
patch.

I'm afraid Stephen will have to add this fix to the IDLE fork code
base as well.

the end, in the hope of saving some bytes on 64-bit machines.  (Too
bad n_nchildren can't be made an unsigned short, but
test/test_longexp.py specifically tests for more than 2**16 subtrees
at one level.)

I don't expect any binary compatibility issues here, unless someone
has an old binary of parsermodule.so saved away.
