Tim Peters 11b2306960 Enable os.fsync() for Windows, mapping it to MS's _commit() there. The
docs here are best-guess:  the MS docs I could find weren't clear, and
some even claimed _commit() has no effect on Win32 systems (which is
easily shown to be false just by trying it).

Guido van Rossum 3a3cca5b82 - list.insert(i, x) now interprets negative i as it would be
interpreted by slicing, so negative values count from the end of the
  list.  This was the only place where such an interpretation was not
  placed on a list index.

Barry Warsaw a1ce93f87c From http://mail.python.org/pipermail/i18n-sig/2003-April/001557.html
- Expose NullTranslations and GNUTranslations to __all__

- Set the default charset to iso-8859-1.  It used to be None, which
would cause problems with .ugettext() if the file had no charset
parameter.  Arguably, the po/mo file would be broken, but I still think
iso-8859-1 is a reasonable default.

- Add a "coerce" default argument to GNUTranslations's constructor.  The
reason for this is that in Zope, we want all msgids and msgstrs to be
Unicode.  For the latter, we could use .ugettext() but there isn't
currently a mechanism for Unicode-ifying msgids.

The plan then is that the charset parameter specifies the encoding for
both the msgids and msgstrs, and both are decoded to Unicode when read.
For example, we might encode po files with utf-8. I think the GNU
gettext tools don't care.

Since this could potentially break code [*] that wants to use the
encoded interface .gettext(), the constructor flag is added, defaulting
to False.  Most code I suspect will want to set this to True and use
.ugettext().

- A few other minor changes from the Zope project, including asserting
that a zero-length msgid must have a Project-ID-Version header for it to
be counted as the metadata record.

Neal Norwitz ffe33b7f24 Attempt to make all the various string *strip methods the same.
* Doc - add doc for when functions were added
 * UserString
 * string object methods
 * string module functions
'chars' is used for the last parameter everywhere.

These changes will be backported, since part of the changes
have already been made, but they were inconsistent.
