I won't have time to write real docs, but spent a lot of time adding
comments to his code and fleshing out the exported functions' docstrings.
There's probably opportunity to consolidate how docstrings get extracted
too, and the new code for that is probably better than the old code for
that (which strained mightily to recover from 2.2's new class/type
gimmicks).

Minor improvement to previous bugfix.
Eating the remaining characters would lead to an endless loop
without a termination test.

Add unittests for the new socket.timeout exception.

Should all the commented out code be removed?

passed on.

Added a new exception, socket.timeout so that timeouts can be differentiated
from other socket exceptions.

Docs, more tests, and newsitem to follow.

number because of this.

A new API (only accessible from C) to interrupt a thread by sending it
an exception.  This is not always effective, but might help some people.
Requested by Just van Rossum and Alex Martelli.  It is intentional
that you have to write your own C extension to call it from Python.

Docs will have to wait.

Fillin some missing decrefs.

the new way that once writes types.

Deleted the old section and sample code and added a new section
building on the Noddy example.

this in module initialization before calling PyType_Ready.  (Sorry
Tim.) This is necessary to compile on cygwin.  AFAIK, we support
cygwin. If so, then we need to write extentions this way.

Fixed bug in implementation of tp_init function. It should be an int
function, not a PyObject *.

When shelve and the bsdbm where expanded to a full mapping interface,
this module was missed.
