dict() constructor. Example:
  >>> dict(a=1, b=2)

+ News blurb, but as much XXX as news.
+ Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL;
  still don't know how to fold that into _bsddb.pyd).
+ Fleshed out build instructions.
+ Debug Python still blows up.

reason getting at saveFileName doesn't work, so it currently only really
works for opening files for reading.

datum.dsize can apparently be long on some systems.
Ensure we pass an int* to PyArg_Parse("s#"), not &datum.dsize

Will backport.

bdist_wininst.py we will see.)

Removed the base64 encoded binary contents, wininst.exe must be in the
same directory as this file now.

wininst.exe must be recompiled and commited each time the sources in
PC/bdist_wininst are changed.

Changed the MSVC project file to create the exe in the
lib/distutils/command directory, bdist_wininst.py must still be
changed to use it.

Also changed to use the same zlib as the zlib module - this has the nice
sideeffect that now the buggy 1.1.3 version is no longer used.

Most of the source files now conform to PEP 7, except for the maximum
line length.  Windows api programming in 78 character lines =:(.

README.txt is a new file, but still empty except for placeholders.

- assertRaises() wasn't being called correctly
- test_warning() no longer applies

The bsddb subproject is gone.
The _bsddb subproject is new.
There are problems here, but I'm out of time to work on this now.  If

system headers have two declarations for wchar_t, with different guard macros.

Not sure whether this is a bugfix candidate, that depends on what changed in the
curses module.

manager doesn't always have the alias as the first argument, so things
become functions in stead of methods.

manager. This should allow us the get rid of most of the FSSpecs, only
navigation services remains to be done.

workaround so the (otherwise still broken) IDE can at least quit in the Python 2.2 Jaguar addon install

module.
Jack: I've compared the .app output of the orginal with the new and I
can't find any significant differences. However, bundlebuilder.py
contains its' own command line interface and I think we should use
that instead. I'll have a look to see whether I can patch
Mac/OSX/Makefile.jaguar to this effect.

add globbing support, find modules by name instead of by file.

added details of new IMAP4_stream class; emphasised meaning of data part of command results; added proxyauth command description

Already supported dict() and dict(mapping).
Now supports dict(itemsequence) and
Just van Rossum's new syntax for dict(keywordargs).

Also, added related unittests.

The docs already promise dict-like behavior
so no update is needed there.
