Allow /* */ comments within function prototypes.

Use new multi-input-file feature of bgen in stead of @-file hack to parse multiple header files. A side effect is that the ObjectSupportLib routines are now also available in Python.

Drag moved to core toolbox modules (Win uses it).

encodings package aliases mapping dictionary rather than in the
internal cache used by the search function.

This enables aliases to take advantage of the full normalization
process applied to encoding names which was previously not available.

The patch restricts alias registration to new aliases. Existing
aliases cannot be overridden anymore.

Still needs docs; see bug report (which was reassigned to Fred) for MS's docs.

#102169.

from right to left!

Closes bug #125391.

Add a Node class that defines the NodeType constants, based on discussion
in the XML-SIG.

roundtrip():  Show the offending syntax tree when things break; this makes
              it a little easier to debug the module by adding test cases.

(Still need better tests for this module, but there's not enough time
 today.)

                         it when *args and/or **kw are used, and one when
                         they are not.

This closes bug #125375: "parser.tuple2ast() failure on valid parse tree".

This closes bug #124943.

dumbdbm archive created on Windows can be read on Unix.

socket in httplib.py.

The bug reports that on Windows, you must pass sock._sock to the
socket.ssl() call.  But on Unix, you must pass sock itself.  (sock is
a wrapper on Windows but not on Unix; the ssl() call wants the real
socket object, not the wrapper.)

So we see if sock has an _sock attribute and if so, extract it.

Unfortunately, the submitter of the bug didn't confirm that this patch
works, so I'll just have to believe it (can't test it myself since I
don't have OpenSSL on Windows set up, and that's a nontrivial thing I
believe).

                  using *only* empty lists may not be acceptable on all
                  platforms, with the specific caveat that it does not
                  work on Windows.  Also clarified list of acceptable
                  objects that may be in the lists, to let the user know
                  that file objects are not usable here on Windows.

StreamReader ignores the 'errors' parameter passed to its constructor

after implementing it I liked Gregor's two-"?" line idea a lot.

sequence repitition works just fine with long integers now, so we
should not say that only plain integers are allowed.

implement as many of the relevant methods as make sense for the particular
information being modelled.
