distutils now looks for the compiler version in sys.version, falling
back to MSVC 6 if the version isn't listed (Python 2.2 and lower).
Add helper routines for reading the registry. Refactor many
module functions into methods of the compiler to avoid passing
lots of state as arguments.
honor them). Use this when building the MacOSX binary installer to
get group-writeable files.
Ths fix works for directories and executables, not for files just yet,
because of bug #735274.
is now interruptable on Windows.
2. Tweak signal.signal() wait parameters as called by various methods
to improve I/O response, especially on Windows.
3. Debugger is disabled at this check-in pending further development.

After removing that, two testers on machines where C: is not the system
drive reported that the installer suggested their system drive instead
of C:, and that's what they wanted it to do.
add dedent() function, to remove indentation from multiline strings
(eg. triple-quoted strings). Differs from inspect.getdoc() by not
special-casing the first line (often a sensible approach for
non-docstring multiline strings). This should make this function more
general (symmetric 'indent' also possible), and more fitting for the
textwrap module.
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way:
- Use a class new method rather than a new function.
- Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators
- Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods.
- Make the type usable as a base type.
I split the example into 3 parts:
1. The minimal new type
2. Adding attributes and methods.
3. Finer control over attributes.
It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully
show this.
I also made minor wording changes in two other places.
I still need to update xxobject.c
Reverted a Py2.3b1 change to iterator in subclasses of list and tuple.
They had been changed to use __getitem__ whenever it had been overriden
in the subclass.
This caused some usabilty and performance problems. Also, it was
inconsistent with the rest of python where many container methods
access the underlying object directly without first checking for
an overridden getter. Users needing a change in iterator behavior
should override it directly.
