a dict argument now.

> The Windows installer and some Linux distros are using compileall to compile all py files in the Lib/ directory. However no test exists to check if all py files can be compiled. I figured out that make testall is the easiest way to test compileall.
For py3k unit tests do some extra checks with -bb.

Removed more project configs in order to use the defaults defined in the property files. The 'sed' tool was more than helpful for the job.

The sentinel in the methods struct was missing

pythoncore.vcproj fails to generate buildinfo (when spaces in path)

  The incremental decoder for utf-7 must preserve its state between calls.
  Solves issue1460.

  Might not be a backport candidate: a new API function was added,
  and some code may rely on details in utf-7.py.
........

Added debug builds to make_versioninfo
Removed some more defines

HTML output. I've now fixed this as best I can (but could do with
improvement).

Note that there are two terms used, "Other_ID_Start" and
"Other_ID_Continue" that are not explained; I've added an extra see
reference to PEP 3131 though.

I've removed a bunch of obsolete defines. I've also taken the opportunity to fix the pre-link event of sqlite3 and some optimization flags.

py3k unit tests are removing %TEMP% dir on Windows
os.removedirs removes all parent directories until it hits a non empty directory. In my case my %TEMP% directory was clean and empty.

in issue1395. All other places in this file already use newline=''...

Also check that csv.reader is given an iterable returning strings.

Some incremental decoders return multiple characters, even when fed with
only one more byte. In this case the tell() state must subtract the
number of extra characters.

"Universal newline" is now an incremental decoder wrapping the initial one,
with its own additional buffer (if '\r' is seen at the end of the input).

A decoder allows the tell() funtion to record the state of the translation.
This also simplifies the readline() process.

Now test_netrc passes on Windows, as well as many new tests in test_io.py

a bytes string to hold argv0 in RunMainFromImporter().
Also changed the code lay-out a bit to be more readable (for me :-),
and print any unexpected errors rather than suppressing them.

Fixed build order of the _ssl project. The openssl project needs to come first because the makefile puts the header files in the right place.
Added some optimization flags to the Release builds of pythoncore and the executables.

  Fix the OSX failures in this test -- they were due to /tmp being a symlink

(No, this doesn't fix the bugs on OSX.)

I've spend some time to automate more steps of the build process. Now bzip2, bsddb, sqlite and openssl are automatically build by prelink steps.
I had to use some tricks to build openssl for 32 and 64bit CPUs in two separate build dirs.

as they didn't actually work.

Removed ReleaseAMD64 and replaced it with platform x64. The x64 builds fine except of the modules that depend on external libraries like tkinter and openssl. And I can't test the build on my 32bit CPU.

I'm using the xxmodule and xxsubtype to test the msvccompiler on Windows. I'm having trouble to compile the module with VS 2008 cl.exe because "initializer is not a constant".

  Now in find, rfind, index, and rindex, you can use None as defaults,
  as usual with slicing (both with str and unicode strings).  This
  fixes issue 1259.

  For str only the stringobject.c file was modified.  But for unicode,
  I needed to repeat in the four functions a lot of code, so created
  a new function that does part of the job for them (and placed it in
  find.h, following a suggestion of Barry).

  Also added tests for this behaviour.

  Patch #1739468: Directories and zipfiles containing __main__.py are now executable
........

Updates to the msi builder and PCbuild9 directory. msi.py can now create installers from the PCbuild9 directory with MSVCR90.dll. PCbuild and MSVCR71.dll are still the default.

Initial import of new PCbuild9 for VS 2008. It partly based on PCbuild and partly hand crafted with some idea from PCbuild8. I've recreated all the extension module projects.

The new directory needs some more love and care but it works. I'm not able to test the AMD64 build.

The new tree is heavily using the *.vcprops property sheets. Please set any global settings in the property sheets.

to ssl.py (no need to test whether we can dup any more).
Regular sockets no longer have a _base, but we still have explicit
reference counting of socket objects for the benefit of makefile();
using duplicate sockets won't work for SSLSocket.

be sure to import a fresh module by removing it from sys.modules
