set of names imported (the "public names"), adding a definition of "public
names" that describes the use of __all__.
This closes SF bug #473986.

Flesh out the vague reference to __import__().

STRICT_SYSV_CURSES when compiling curses module on HP/UX. Generalize
access to _flags on systems where WINDOW is opaque. Fixes bugs
#432497, #422265, and the curses parts of #467145 and #473150.

not properly processing numeric IPv4 addresses. Fixes V5.1 part of #472675.

machine. Luckily everyone is asleep, so I didn't have to use the time
machine.

Some escaped newlines had spaces between the backslash and the newline. Also slightly changed the comment on xstat().

Got this to work in MacPython. The code is #ifdef macintosh style (to match the existing #ifdef MS_WINDOWS), but eventually ifdeffing on configure features is probably better.

ThreadingMixIn/TCPServer forgets close (Max Neunhöffer).

This ensures that handle_error() and close_request() are called when
an error occurs in the thread.

(I am not applying the second chunk of the patch, which moved the
finish() call into the finally clause in BaseRequestHandler's __init__
method; that would be a semantic change that I cannot accept at this
point - the data would be sent even if the handler raised an
exception.)

    The C-code in fileobject.readinto(buffer) which parses
    the arguments assumes that size_t is interchangeable
    with int:

	    size_t ntodo, ndone, nnow;

	    if (f->f_fp == NULL)
		    return err_closed();
	    if (!PyArg_Parse(args, "w#", &ptr, &ntodo))
		    return NULL;

    This causes a problem on Alpha / Tru64 / OSF1 v5.1
    where size_t is a long and sizeof(long) != sizeof(int).

    The patch I'm proposing declares ntodo as an int.  An
    alternative might be to redefine w# to expect size_t.

[We can't change w# because there are probably third party modules
relying on it. GvR]

PyArg_UnpackTuple() function (serves as an example and test case).

Make convertbuffer() static like the prototype says.  Not used elsewhere.

Repair unlikely surprise due to magical softspace attr and the use of

This should eliminate the traceback returned by sys.exc_info() as a
common source of memory leaks.

used by the weakref code since he didn't like the word "referencable".
Is it really necessary to be more specific than to test for TypeError here,
though?

template string, and don't call the template compiler if we can
avoid it.

failobj has to be a list or the `+' can fail.

    Don't put paren in column 0 (to please font-lock mode).
    Put space after comma in argument list.
