- In _portable_ftell(), try fgetpos() before ftello() and ftell64().
  I ran into a situation on a 64-bit capable Linux where the C
  library's ftello() and ftell64() returned negative numbers despite
  fpos_t and off_t both being 64-bit types; fgetpos() did the right
  thing.

- Define a new typedef, Py_off_t, which is either fpos_t or off_t,
  depending on which one is 64 bits.  This removes the need for a lot
  of #ifdefs later on.  (XXX Should this be moved to pyport.h?  That
  file currently seems oblivious to large fille support, so for now
  I'll leave it here where it's needed.)

of these "search the directory" schemes (including this one) are still prone
to making mistakes.

Robustify: don't rely on modules being present in sys.modules.

Add checks for .pyo and .pyd.
Collapse docfunction, docmethod, docbuiltin into the one method docroutine.
Small formatting fixes.
Link the segments of a package path in the title.
Link to the source file only if it exists.
Allow modules (e.g. repr.py) to take precedence over built-ins (e.g. repr()).
Add interruptible synopsis scanner (so we can do searches in the background).
Make HTTP server quit.
Add small GUI for controlling the server and launching searches (like -k).

(please not that the library reference does *not* include the
urllib2 documnetation -- that will wiat for Fred)

the more recent versions of that platform, so we use the value (time_t)(-1)
as the error value.  This is the type used in the OpenVMS documentation:

This closes SF tracker bug #404240.

Also clean up an exception message when detecting overflow of time_t values
beyond 4 bytes.

from __future__ import nested_scopes
x=7
def f():
    x=1
    def g():
        global x
        def i():
            def h():
                return x
            return h()
        return i()
    return g()

print f()
print x

This kind of code didn't work correctly because x was treated as free
in i, leading to an attempt to load x in g to make a closure for i.

Solution is to make global decl apply to nested scopes unless their is
an assignment.  Thus, x in h is global.

giving it a slight facelift

which does not define all the constants.

This closes SF tracker patch #404924.

WeakValueDictionary.copy(),
WeakKeyDictionary.copy():  Actually return the copy!

of making new-fangled Mac imports work again.  May not work, and may not
even compile on his boxes, but should be at worst very close on both.

    find $(srcdir)/Lib -name '*.py[co]' -print | xargs rm -f

to remove all .py[co] files before testing, rather than just those in
the Lib/test directory.  "find" is used all over the Makefile so I
suppose it's safe; how about xargs?

Handle <... at 001B6378> like <... at 0x120f80> (%p is platform-dependent).
Fix RCS version tag handling.
Move __main__ behaviour into a function, pydoc.cli().

Fix test_grammar so that it ignores warning about global stmt at
module level in exec.

Do better accounting for global variables.

Put PPC distributions back in, rearranged packages and use VISE variable magic to determine which ConfigurePythonXXX to run.
