Neal Norwitz 7728b4719e SF #994605, fcntl example is broken
The last call to fcntl (which wasn't changed) doesn't work for me, but
the first part works now.

Backport candidate.

Tim Peters de8332171a SF bug 990749: os constants missing
A LaTeX comment identified the 6 os.O_XXX constants the docs claimed
are available on Windows but aren't.  The bug report listed the same 6.
Split these non-Windows constants into a different table with a possibly
correct "Availability:" claim.

Guido van Rossum 8cec3ab0e4 - Bug #981530: Fix UnboundLocalError in shutil.rmtree(). This affects

got lost???]

Tim Peters e45d5a3b00 Claifications: visit procs are supplied by the core, users aren't
expected to write their own.  A NULL "object" must not be passed to
the visit callback.  A non-zero return from a visit proc isn't
necessarily an error return (and it doesn't matter to the tp_traverse
code *what* it might signify, their only job is to return it).

Tim Peters 5af0e41482 Bug #788520: Queue class has logic error when non-blocking
I don't agree it had a bug (see the report), so this is *not* a candidate
for backporting, but the docs were confusing and the Queue implementation
was old enough to vote.

Rewrote put/put_nowait/get/get_nowait from scratch, to use a pair of
Conditions (not_full and not_empty), sharing a common mutex.  The code
is 1/4 the size now, and 6.25x easier to understand.  For blocking
with timeout, we also get to reuse (indirectly) the tedious timeout
code from threading.Condition.  The Full and Empty exceptions raised
by non-blocking calls are now easy (instead of nearly impossible) to
explain truthfully:  Full is raised if and only if the Queue truly
is full when the non-blocking put call checks the queue size, and
similarly for Empty versus non-blocking get.

What I don't know is whether the new implementation is slower (or
faster) than the old one.  I don't really care.  Anyone who cares
a lot is encouraged to check that.

Tim Peters 183dabcd73 SF patch 986010: add missing doc for datetime C API, from
Anthony Tuininga.

This is a derived patch, taking the opportunity to add some organization
to the now-large pile of datetime-related macros, and to factor out
tedious repeated text.

Also improved some clumsy wording in NEWS.
