Backport candidate

any results)

this depends on a new feature in Expat added in 1.95.8

There were subsections without sections, so drop a sub.

(test_compiler no longer drives WinXP into an insane state).

[ 1005891 ] support --with-tsc on PPC

plus a trivial change to settscdump's docstring and a Misc/NEWS entry.

[ 1004703 ] Make func_name writable

plus fixing a couple of nits in the documentation changes spotted by MvL
and a Misc/NEWS entry.

habit of these, sorry).

[ 1005248 ] new.code() not cleanly checking its arguments

using the result of new.code() can still destroy the sun, but merely
calling the function shouldn't any more.

I also rewrote the existing tests of new.code() to use vastly less
un-bogus arguments, and added tests for the previous insane behaviours.

Backported to 2.3.

makes it easier to see what's intended.

  visually distinguish the expected output from the comments (use
  "##" to mark expected outputs, and "#" to mark comments).
- If the string given to DocTestParser.get_program() is indented, then
  strip its indentation.  (In particular, find the min indentation of
  non-blank lines, and strip that indentation from all lines.)

- Added comments for some regexps
- If the traceback type/message don't match, then still print full
  traceback in report_failure (not just the first & last lines)
- Renamed DocTestRunner.__failure_header -> _failure_header

  modify option flags for a single example; they do not turn options
  on or off.)
- Added "indent" and "options" attributes for Example
- Got rid of add_newlines param to DocTestParser._parse_example (it's
  no longer needed; Example's constructor now takes care of it).
- Added some docstrings

  option flags); and use it to define the existing optionflag
  constants.

  responsible for parsing the string.
- Renamed Parser to DocTestParser
- DocTestParser.get_*() now accept the string & name as command-line
  arguments; the parser's constructor is now empty.
- Added DocTestParser.get_doctest() method
- Replaced "doctest_factory" argument to DocTestFinder with a "parser"
  argument (takes a DocTestParser).
- Changed _tag_msg to take an indentation string argument.

the set_trace fiddling didn't make sense to me, and I ended up reworking
that part of the code.  We really do want to save and restore
pdb.set_trace, so that each dynamically nested level of doctest gets
sys.stdout fiddled to what's appropriate for *it*.  The only "trick"
really needed is that these layers of set_trace wrappers each call the
original pdb.set_trace (instead of the current pdb.set_trace).

Add missing PyAPI_FUNC/PyAPI_DATA macros.
