Georg Brandl 871f1bc601 Backport from Py3k branch: 
Patch #1591665: implement the __dir__() special function lookup in PyObject_Dir.

Had to change a few bits of the patch because classobjs and __methods__ are still
in Py2.6.

Martin v. Löwis 1190a38d33 Patch #957003: Implement smtplib.LMTP. 2007-03-09 15:35:55 +00:00
Brett Cannon a30fcb4dae Introduce test.test_support.TransientResource. It's a context manager to 
surround calls to resources that may or may not be available.  Specifying the
expected exception and attributes to be raised if the resource is not available
prevents overly broad catching of exceptions.

This is meant to help suppress spurious failures by raising
test.test_support.ResourceDenied if the exception matches.  It would probably
be good to go through the various network tests and surround the calls to catch
connection timeouts (as done with test_socket_ssl in this commit).

Jeremy Hylton 759410b372 Do not copy free variables to locals in class namespaces. 
Fixes bug 1569356, but at the cost of a minor incompatibility in
locals().  Add test that verifies that the class namespace is not
polluted.  Also clarify the behavior in the library docs.

Along the way, cleaned up the dict_to_map and map_to_dict
implementations and added some comments that explain what they do.

Brett Cannon 129bd52146 No more raising of string exceptions! 
The next step of PEP 352 (for 2.6) causes raising a string exception to trigger
a TypeError.  Trying to catch a string exception raises a DeprecationWarning.
References to string exceptions has been removed from the docs since they are
now just an error.

Andrew M. Kuchling 956597f4ef Reorganize the docs for 'file' and 'open()' after some discussion with Fred. 
We want to encourage users to write open() when opening a file, but
open() was described with a single paragraph and
'file' had lots of explanation of the mode and bufsize arguments.

I've shrunk the description of 'file' to cross-reference to the 'File
objects' section, and to open() for an explanation of the arguments.

open() now has all the paragraphs about the mode string.  The bufsize
argument was moved up so that it isn't buried at the end; now there's
1 paragraph on mode, 1 on bufsize, and then 3 more on mode.  Various
other edits and rearrangements were made in the process.

It's probably best to read the final text and not to try to make sense
of the diffs.
