- Change one last EXE to EXEEXT.

- Cygwin doesn't want CCSHARED flag when bulding the interpreter DLL.

Fix some unclear language in the description of the addrlist member.

Break cycle involving expat parser in close().
Add lex handler support to SAX2 pyexpat

Use nodeName, not tagName in attributes.
Provide get method for dictionary-like objects.
Use DOM exceptions instead of standard exceptions.

and an option is more friendly then manually setting a variable.

PyMember_Set of T_CHAR always raises exception.
Unfortunately, this is a use of a C API function that Python itself never makes, so
there's no .py test I can check in to verify this stays fixed.  But the fault in the
code is obvious, and Dave Cole's patch just as obviously fixes it.

    arguments instead to handle overrides provided on the make command line.

Fixed typo in message

   run setup.py with the --install-platlib flag so you can override
   'prefix' when running make (e.g. make prefix=/tmp/python/usr/local install)

Instead of using mkdir to create directories, use install -d (mkdir -p
   apparently isn't portable)

Emacs make-mode reported line 371 as suspicious; removed the whitespace from
   that line.

- Setup is now copied from Setup.dist by configure.

Add header comment and __version__

primarily from Evelyn Mitchell (thanks!).

This closes SF patch #103412.

if we can find the libtermcap in the usual places. Some platforms don't
have libtermcap, e.g. MacOSX.

1. skipping of extensions which cause an error (a warning message
   is written to stdout, but the build process no longer fails
   completely)

2. the readline extension to compile on SuSE Linux (and probably
   other platforms too) by adding /usr/lib/termcap to the library search
   path

building.

- Put shared modules in the same place as object files.

- Add CFLAGSFORSHARED variable.  configure sets this to CCSHARED if LDLIBRARY
  is a shared library.
- Remove -fPIC from OPT, it has no business there.
- Change CCSHARED option for Linux to -fPIC.  It should probably be
  -fPIC on a few other platforms as well.
- Don't create silly boot Makefile, create Setup files and run makesetup
  instead.

  is a shared library.
- Add PY_CFLAGS variable (flags used to compile the interpreter)
- clobber now just removes object files, libraries and binaries

This closes SF bug #129759.

examples to flesh it out for the uninitiated.  Here they are.
