  Handle urllib's renaming for Python 3.0:

  * Deprecate urllib.urlopen() in favor of urllib2.urlopen() for 3.0.
  * Update docs to mention split/rename of the module and deprecation of
    urlopen().

  Changes to lib2to3 are in a separate commit. Work is for issue #2885.

Also directly import names from the various urllib submodules,
saves attribute lookup and is much cleaner.

Benjamin Peterson de9c869fb8 Hopefully fix make framework install on Mac (see 3174)
Removal of the Mac modules broke many of the Mac scripts (including
BuildApplet.py) so the building of the Python launcher and IDLE.app was
broken. I manually copied built versions of those apps into Mac. Everything else
which used Mac modules had to die.

Mark Summerfield bbfd71d7ac - No more 0L or similar.
- Added cross-refs to fraction & decimal in numeric types.
- Moved str.isdecimal() & str.isnumeric() into alphabetical order like
  all the other str methods; also massaged the text a bit to make it
  more consistent with the similar methods' texts.

BTW The iterator.__iter__() docs seems to be out of step with
functions.rst (where it now has an extra parameter).

  #Issue3088 in-progress: Race condition with instances of classes derived from threading.local:

  When a thread touches such an object for the first time, a new thread-local __dict__ is created,
  and the __init__ method is run.
  But a thread switch can occur here; if the other thread touches the same object, it installs another
  __dict__; when the first thread resumes, it updates the dictionary of the second...

  This is the deep cause of the failures in test_multiprocessing involving "managers" objects.

  Also a 2.5 backport candidate.
