ContentHandler. While GC will eventually clean up, it can take longer than
normal for applications that create a lot of strings (or other immutables)
rather without creating many containers.
This closes SF bug #535474.
what these do given a 0 size argument. This is so that when pymalloc
is enabled, we don't need to wrap pymalloc calls in goofy little
routines special-casing 0. Note that it's virtually impossible to meet
the doc's promise that malloc(0) will never return NULL; this makes a
best effort, but not an insane effort. The code does promise that
realloc(not-NULL, 0) will never return NULL (malloc(0) is much harder).
_PyMalloc_Realloc: Changed to take over all requests for 0 bytes, and
rearranged to be a little quicker in expected cases.
All over the place: when resorting to the platform allocator, call
free/malloc/realloc directly, without indirecting thru macros. This
should avoid needing a nightmarish pile of #ifdef-ery if PYMALLOC_DEBUG
is changed so that pymalloc takes over all Py(Mem, Object} memory
operations (which would add useful debugging info to PyMem_xyz
allocations too).
PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.
Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.
code (if it isn't open already).
PythonIDE still opens the resource file "manually" because it also uses
presence of the CURS resource to determine whether it needs to adjust
sys.path.
457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python

Fixes argument quoting in w9xpopen.exe for Windows 9x. w9xpopen.exe
also never attempts to display a MessageBox when not executed
interactively.
Added test_popen() test. This test currently just executes
"python -c ..." as a child process, and checks that the expected
arguments were all recieved correctly by the child process. This
test succeeds for me on Win9x, win2k and Linux, and I hope it does
for other popen supported platforms too :)

Clarified the support for slice operations and note when some TypeError
exceptions are raised.

XXX Not sure that it belongs in this section, or that the concept is
particularly important for writing documentation. Perhaps references
to the frame should be removed entirely.
