and lists; if the size is negative, raise an exception. Also raise an
exception when an undefined type is found -- all this to increase the
chance that garbage input causes an exception instead of a core dump.
not in restricted mode.
__dict__ can be set to any dictionary; the cl_getattr, cl_setattr and
cl_delattr slots are refreshed.
__name__ can be set to any string.
__bases__ can be set to to a tuple of classes, provided they are not
subclasses of the class whose attribute is being assigned.
__getattr__, __setattr__ and __delattr__ can be set to anything, or
deleted; the appropriate slot (cl_getattr, cl_setattr, cl_delattr) is
refreshed.
(Note: __name__ really doesn't need to be a special attribute, but
that would be more work.)
Tkinter. This adds a separate lock -- read the comments. (This was
also needed for Mark Hammond's attempts to make PythonWin
Tkinter-friendly.)
The changes have affected the EventHook slightly, too; and I've done
some more cleanup of the code that deals with the different versions
of Tcl_CreateFileHandler().
- Handle <? processing instructions >.
- Allow . and - in entity names.
Also fixed an oversight in the previous fix (in one place, [ \t\r\n]
was used instead of string.whitespace).
so that our #ifdef test has the wrong effect. Substitute hardcoded
values for some important symbols (but not for the whole range -- some
are pretty obscure so it's not worth it).
control before TrackControl is called. The default implementation
calls TrackControl and then do_controlhit().
For ScrolledWindow, do_rawcontrol passes a tracker function to
TrackControl if the mouse is in one of the arrows or grey areas, and
the tracker handles scrolling. For the thumb part nothing has changed.

Guido, the overflow checking in PyLong_AsLong is off a little:
1) If the C in use sign-extends right shifts on signed longs, there's a
spurious overflow error when converting the most-negative int:

>>> x = -1L << 31
>>> x
-2147483648L
>>> int(x)
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
OverflowError: long int too long to convert
>>>
2) If C does not sign-extend, some genuine overflows won't be caught.
The attached should repair both, and, because I installed a new disk and a C
compiler today, it's even been compiled this time <wink>.

Also, here is a new version of import_nt.c, which allows you to register a
Debug module in the registry. While I was there I removed some of the
ugliness - what was I thinking :-)
