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.

Thanks for the reminder, Brett

newlines; it doesn't.  To rectify this the string returned replaces all
instances of os.linesep with '\n' to fake universal newline support.

Backport candidate.

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.

to /private/tmp.  Adding a call to os.path.realpath() to temp_dir() fixed it.

calling codecs.utf_8_decode() with final==True, which falled with incomplete
byte sequences. Fix and test by James G. Sack.

for them.

Closes issue #1431.  Thanks Giambattista Bloisi for the help.

cycle before the tests...). Sorry.

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.

Currently on Windows set_error() make use of a large array which maps
socket error numbers to error messages.

This patch removes that array and just lets PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr()
generate the message by using the Win32 function FormatMessage().

(suprisingly, this simplifies the signature, improves clarity, and is comparably fast).
Update the docs to reflect a previous change to the function name.
Add an example to the docs showing how to override the default __repr__ method.

Correction for issue1265 (pdb bug with "with" statement).

When an unfinished generator-iterator is garbage collected, PyEval_EvalFrameEx
is called with a GeneratorExit exception set.  This leads to funny results
if the sys.settrace function itself makes use of generators.
A visible effect is that the settrace function is reset to None.
Another is that the eventual "finally" block of the generator is not called.

It is necessary to save/restore the exception around the call to the trace
function.

This happens a lot with py3k: isinstance() of an ABCMeta instance runs
    def __instancecheck__(cls, instance):
        """Override for isinstance(instance, cls)."""
        return any(cls.__subclasscheck__(c)
                   for c in {instance.__class__, type(instance)})
which lets an opened generator expression each time it returns True.

Backport candidate, even if the case is less frequent in 2.5.

fixed indention to tabs
use Py_RETURN_NONE macro
added more error checks to on_completion_display_matches_hook

open question: Does PyList_SetItem(l, i, o) steal a reference to o in the case of an error?
