~/Library/Python/2.3/site-packages to sys.path, if it exists.

Don't show psuedo-packages by default, added a button to show them.
Cleaned up interface a little (not enough, though).

Changed some message to be clearer when presented by Package Manager.

HTML entity names to Unicode codepoints (as integers).
codepoint2name is the reverse mapping. From SF patch #722017.

Also move complete processing of get/set/delvar calls to target thread.

for the same gid.

for the same uid.

  even farther down, to just before the call to
  _PyObject_DebugMallocStats().  This required the following changes:

- pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an
  exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is
  available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception
  (ever).

- object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL,
  don't raise an exception but return 0.  This means that when
  printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on
  and on.  But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see
  first bullet).

- Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to
  PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.

- Allow setting the destination install directory. If this is set then
  it is used for the modules, other items (header files, etc) are not
  installed, and warnings are printed if the package would have liked to.

Unfortunaltey binary installs seem broken due to a tarfile bug (#721871)
or my misunderstanding of how tarfile works.

cases, but the test still expected ValueError.  Repaired that.

prevents it from showing stuff (like codec state) that is cleared when
the interpreter state is cleared.

getpwnam()/getpwuid() return consistent data.

Change test_grp to check that getgrall() and
getgrnam()/getgrgid() return consistent data.
Add error checks similar to test_pwd.py.

Port test___all__.py to PyUnit.

From SF patch #662807.

to cover the case for:  "x,y,z=1,2,3".  Gives a 30% speed-up.

Also, added FOR_ITER to the list of opcodes that can jump.

(This is only the tip of the iceberg; the time and datetime classes
need the same treatment.)

  interpreted by slicing, so negative values count from the end of the
  list.  This was the only place where such an interpretation was not
  placed on a list index.

unexpected type, report the actual type rather than 'float'.  (It's
hard to even reach this code with a float. :-)

A small fix for bug #545855 and Greg Chapman's
addition of op code SRE_OP_MIN_REPEAT_ONE for
eliminating recursion on simple uses of pattern '*?' on a
long string.

After some more reflection (and no negative feedback), I am reverting the
original patch and applying my version, cygwinccompiler.py-shared.diff,
instead.

My reasons are the following:

1. support for older toolchains is retained
2. support for new toolchains (i.e., ld -shared) is added

The goal of my approach is to avoid breaking older toolchains while adding
better support for newer ones.

Fix memory leak in dialect_init().

the code erroneously decrefed the istep argument in an error case.  This
caused a co_consts tuple to lose a float constant prematurely, which
eventually caused gc to try executing static data in floatobject.c (don't
ask <wink>).  So reworked this extensively to ensure refcount correctness.

Fix error in description of logging package's 'propagate'
Mention default arg to dict.pop()
Link to more module docs
   (I wonder if I should adopt some convention such as linking the first
    mention of all new modules to the LibRef?)
Various text changes
Bump version number and Python version

to lookup properties declared in base classes. Looking at it I'm not sure
what the official scope if the property codes is, maybe it is only the
(OSA) class in which they are used. But giving them global scope hasn't been
a problem so far.

Regenerated the standard suites, which are now also space-indented.
