installed Python. So we don't use os.execve any longer, which means
we need an actual executable in <myapp>.app/Contents/MacOS. For applets
we make a symlink to the Python executable used to build the applet,
for standalone apps we simply copy it.
- Added support for the new any_missing_maybe() feature of modulefinder.py,
which is pending as patch #643711. Its use is optional so it still works
with the existing version of modulefinder.py
consistency with the built-in open() (and every other sane open()
function, for that matter). The two valid ways to call this open() are
now open(mode) and open(device, mode).
For backwards compatibility, retain the old open(mode) calling syntax --
this makes the error message when you call open(device) a bit confusing,
but oh well.
This is the first half of SF patch #644977.

When a subtype .mro() fails, we need to reset the type whose __bases__
are being changed, too. Fix + test.
of using the CCompiler.find_library_file() provided by the Distutils.
This patch fixes it to use the Distutils method at the cost of some
additional glue.
(The duplication resulted in the SSL module not being automatically
built on Macs; the Distutils knew that shared libraries on OS X have a
.dylib extension, but the setup.py code didn't.)
Constructor accepts optional keyword arguments after a optional items list.
Add fromkeys() as an alternate constructor from an iterable over keys.
Expand related unittests.

Plus a couple of extra tests beyond what's up there.
It hasn't been as carefully reviewed as it perhaps should, so all readers
are encouraged, nay exhorted, to give this a close reading.
There are still a couple of oddities related to assigning to __name__,
but I intend to solicit python-dev's opinions on these.

"Modules listed in the registry was a dumb idea. This whole scheme
can die. AFAIK, no one in the world uses it (including win32all
since the last build)."

errors, some refactoring to get the name of classic classes, and a
style nit or two.)

This patch makes it compatible with 2.2, at least, by detecting
universal newline support.
