augmenting them here and there. For now, it works more-or-less similar
to unix/windows freeze, generating a config.c file, but storing
modules in PYC resources. A template project is also copied.
The hooks are in place to freeze by merging shared libraries so you
can freeze without a C compiler/linker, but this does not work yet.
to pypaper.sty.
Added the use of the "avant" package to use AvantGarde for the sans-serif
font instead of the helvetica font loaded by the "times" package.
conversions. Formerly, for example, int('-') would return 0 instead
of raising ValueError, and int(' 0') would raise ValueError
(complaining about a null byte!) instead of 0...
PythonCmd_Error() but failed to return. The error wasn't very likely
(only when we run out of memory) but since the check is there we might
as well return the error. (I think that Barry introduced this buglet
when he added error checks everywhere.)
keyword argument can be used to direct it somewhere else. Also
documented all the other functions in this module, and even added a
little example.
# Haven't tested the latex for correctness -- all latex installations
# appear broken.
+ Took the "list" argument out of the other functions that no longer need
it. This speeds things up a little more.
+ Small comment changes in accord with that.
+ Exploited the now-safe ability to cache values in the partitioning loop.
Makes no timing difference on my flavor of Pentium, but this machine ran out
of registers 12 iterations ago. It should yield a small speedup on a RISC
machine, and not hurt in any case.
instead of testing whether the list changed size after each
comparison, temporarily set the type of the list to an immutable list
type. This should allow continued use of the list for legitimate
purposes but disallows all operations that can change it in any way.
(Changes to the internals of list items are not caught, of cause;
that's not possible to detect, and it's not necessary to protect the
sort code, either.)

RegistryQueryValue requires that its fourth argument be initialized to
the length of the buffer being passed in, this wasn't being done. I
also split the call and status test into two lines with a local variable
so that I could look at the status in the debugger.
