Mac-specific modules. Before all modules were compiled but would fail thanks
to a dependence on the code included when Python was built without the compiler
flag.
Closes bug #991962.
This patch includes test cases and documentation updates, as well as NEWS file
updates.
This patch also updates the sre modules so that they don't import the string
module, breaking direct circular imports.
happen in 2.3, but nobody noticed it still was getting generated (the
warning was disabled by default). OverflowWarning and
PyExc_OverflowWarning should be removed for 2.5, and left notes all over
saying so.
truncate() left the stream position unchanged, which meant the
"truncated" data didn't go away:
>>> io.write('abc')
>>> io.truncate(0)
>>> io.write('xyz')
>>> io.getvalue()
'abcxyz'

because GNU/k*BSD uses gnu pth to provide pthreads, but will also happen on any
system that does the same.
python fails to build because it doesn't detect gnu pth in pthread
emulation. See C comments in patch for details.

path, as normalizing the path may alter the meaning of the path if it contains
symlinks.
Also add tests for infinite symlink loops and parent symlinks that need to be
resolved.
reached through a symlink (was comparing path of module to path to function and
were not matching because of the symlink). os.path.realpath() is now used to
solve this discrepency.
Closes bug #570300. Thanks Johannes Gijsbers for the fix.
interning were not clear here -- a subclass could be mutable, for
example -- and had bugs. Explicitly interning a subclass of string
via intern() will raise a TypeError. Internal operations that attempt
to intern a string subclass will have no effect.
Added a few tests to test_builtin that includes the old buggy code and
verifies that calls like PyObject_SetAttr() don't fail. Perhaps these
tests should have gone in test_string.
the tim-doctest-merge-24a2 tag on the the tim-doctest-branch branch.
We did development on the branch in case it wouldn't land in time for
2.4a2, but the branch looked good: Edward's tests passed there, ditto
Python's tests, and ditto the Zope3 tests. Together, those hit doctest
heavily.
modes like non-interactive modes. This allows for non-latin-1 users
to write unicode strings directly and sets Japanese users free from
weird manual escaping <wink> in shift_jis environments.

unicodedata.east_asian_width(). You can still implement your own
simple width() function using it like this:
def width(u):
w = 0
for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2
else: w += 1
return w
or broken by basic ctype functions in 4.4BSD descendants. This
will be fixed in their future development branches but they'll keep
the POSIX-incompatibility for their backward-compatiblities in near
future.
