Mark Dickinson aa2adc828a Issue #6713: Improve performance of str(n) and repr(n) for integers n
(up to 3.1 times faster in tests), by special-casing base 10 in
_PyLong_Format.  (Backport of r74851 from py3k.)

Georg Brandl 0674d3fb5f #6844: do not emit DeprecationWarnings on access if Exception.message has been set by the user.
This works by always setting it in __dict__, except when it's implicitly set in __init__.

Mark Dickinson 4676048b43 Remove outdated include; this include was breaking OS X builds using
non-Apple gcc4.3 and gcc4.4 (because CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h
won't compile under non-Apple gcc).

Thomas Wouters c4dcb3801e Fix issue #1590864, multiple threads and fork() can cause deadlocks, by
acquiring the import lock around fork() calls. This prevents other threads
from having that lock while the fork happens, and is the recommended way of
dealing with such issues. There are two other locks we care about, the GIL
and the Thread Local Storage lock. The GIL is obviously held when calling
Python functions like os.fork(), and the TLS lock is explicitly reallocated
instead, while also deleting now-orphaned TLS data.

This only fixes calls to os.fork(), not extension modules or embedding
programs calling C's fork() directly. Solving that requires a new set of API
functions, and possibly a rewrite of the Python/thread_*.c mess. Add a
warning explaining the problem to the documentation in the mean time.

This also changes behaviour a little on AIX. Before, AIX (but only AIX) was
getting the import lock reallocated, seemingly to avoid this very same
problem. This is not the right approach, because the import lock is a
re-entrant one, and reallocating would do the wrong thing when forking while
holding the import lock.

Will backport to 2.6, minus the tiny AIX behaviour change.

Ronald Oussoren 91a11a46c0 MacOSX: detect the architectures supported by
Tk.framework and build _tkinter only for those
architectures.

This replaces the hardcoded solution that is no
longer valid now that 64-bit capable versions of
Tk are available on OSX.

Lars Gustäbel 21121e64b4 Issue #6856: Add a filter keyword argument to TarFile.add().
The filter argument must be a function that takes a TarInfo
object argument, changes it and returns it again. If the
function returns None the TarInfo object will be excluded
from the archive.
The exclude argument is deprecated from now on, because it
does something similar but is not as flexible.

Ronald Oussoren 84ddd72312 This is an update to r74701. How hard can it be to get a configure test right.
This patch has already been backported as part of the backport of r74701,
which is how I found this problem.
