Also, don't call gettempdir() in the default expression for the 'dir'
argument to various functions; use 'dir=None' for the default and
insert 'if dir is None: dir = gettemptir()' in the bodies.  That way
the work done by gettempdir is postponed until needed.

subprocess that does the right checks.  This now works on Windows as
well.

com_error() is static in Python/compile.c.

Also, don't handle METH_OLDARGS on the fast path.  All the interesting
builtins have been converted to use METH_NOARGS, METH_O, or
METH_VARARGS.

Result is another 1-2% speedup.  If I can cobble together 10 of these,
it might make a difference.

This makes the code much easier to ready, because it is at a sane
indentation level.  On my box this shows a 1-2% speedup, which means
nothing, except that I'm not going to worry about the performance
effects of the change.

-- replace then with slightly faster PyObject_Call(o,a,NULL).  (The
difference is that the latter requires a to be a tuple; the former
allows other values and wraps them in a tuple if necessary; it
involves two more levels of C function calls to accomplish all that.)

nothing special done if keyword arguments were present, so test for
that earlier and fall through to the normal case if there are any.
This ought to slow down CFunction calls with keyword args, but I don't
care; it's a tiny (1%) improvement for pystone.

- Use PyObject_Call() instead of PyEval_CallObject(), saves several
  layers of calls and checks.

- Pre-allocate the argument tuple rather than calling Py_BuildValue()
  each time round the loop.

- For filter(None, seq), avoid an INCREF and a DECREF.

to inner scope, too.

Loosened the acceptable 'start' and 'stop' arguments so that any
Python (bounded) ints can be used.  So, e.g., randrange(-sys.maxint-1,
sys.maxint) no longer blows up.

Karatsuba's better cache behavior with extremely large multiplicands.

warning for 'global None', but that's either accompanied by an
assignment to None, which will trigger a warning, or not, in which
case it's harmless. :-)

LINE events when not __debug__.  But we get them anyway under -O now,
so just stop special-casing non-__debug__ mode.

Still to do: function definition arguments (including *None and
**None).

named 'None'.  Still to do: function definition parameter lists, and
function call keyword arguments.

argument should be called 'c', like everywhere else.  Renamed a
complex variable 'c' to 'z' and moved it inside the only scope where
it's used.

The FutureWarnings are still there, until a way has been found to

we catch errors during the build process in stead of later during runtime.

Call me heretical, but despite that I'm wholly confident in the proof,
and have done it two different ways now, I still put more faith in
testing ...

normalized result, so no point to normalizing it again.  The number

[ 587993 ] SET_LINENO killer

Remove SET_LINENO.  Tracing is now supported by inspecting co_lnotab.

Many sundry changes to document and adapt to this change.

Push /usr/... further down the list - always check /usr/local/... before

Doubt this will help with http://python.org/sf/589427 or not, but these
changes were prompted by my investigation of that bug report.  I wasn't able
to reproduce that problem though
