Tim Peters 696cf43b58 Heavily fiddled variant of patch #1442927: PyLong_FromString optimization.
``long(str, base)`` is now up to 6x faster for non-power-of-2 bases.  The
largest speedup is for inputs with about 1000 decimal digits.  Conversion
from non-power-of-2 bases remains quadratic-time in the number of input
digits (it was and remains linear-time for bases 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32).

Speedups at various lengths for decimal inputs, comparing 2.4.3 with
current trunk.  Note that it's actually a bit slower for 1-digit strings:

Tim Peters b713ec2531 Bug #1334662 / patch #1335972: int(string, base) wrong answers.
In rare cases of strings specifying true values near sys.maxint,
and oddball bases (not decimal or a power of 2), int(string, base)
could deliver insane answers.  This repairs all such problems, and
also speeds string->int significantly.  On my box, here are %
speedups for decimal strings of various lengths:

length speedup
------ -------
 1       12.4%
 2       15.7%
 3       20.6%
 4       28.1%
 5       33.2%
 6       37.5%
 7       41.9%
 8       46.3%
 9       51.2%
10       19.5%
11       19.9%
12       23.9%
13       23.7%
14       23.3%
15       24.9%
16       25.3%
17       28.3%
18       27.9%
19       35.7%

Note that the difference between 9 and 10 is the difference between
short and long Python ints on a 32-bit box.  The patch doesn't
actually do anything to speed conversion to long:  the speedup is
due to detecting "unsigned long" overflow more quickly.

This is a bugfix candidate, but it's a non-trivial patch and it
would be painful to separate the "bug fix" from the "speed up" parts.

Richard Jones 7c88dcc5ab Merge from rjones-funccall branch.
Applied patch zombie-frames-2.diff from sf patch 876206 with updates for
Python 2.5 and also modified to retain the free_list to avoid the 67%
slow-down in pybench recursion test. 5% speed up in function call pybench.

Tim Peters 8931ff1f67 Teach PyString_FromFormat, PyErr_Format, and PyString_FromFormatV
about "%u", "%lu" and "%zu" formats.

Since PyString_FromFormat and PyErr_Format have exactly the same rules
(both inherited from PyString_FromFormatV), it would be good if someone
with more LaTeX Fu changed one of them to just point to the other.
Their docs were way out of synch before this patch, and I just did a
mass copy+paste to repair that.

Not a backport candidate (this is a new feature).

Guido van Rossum da5b701aee Get rid of __context__, per the latest changes to PEP 343 and python-dev
discussion.
There are two places of documentation that still mention __context__:
Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex -- I wasn't quite sure how to rewrite that without
spending a whole lot of time thinking about it; and whatsnew, which Andrew
usually likes to change himself.

Thomas Wouters abd08884a6 The result of SF patch #1471578: big-memory tests for strings, lists and
tuples. Lots to be added, still, but this will give big-memory people
something to play with in 2.5 alpha 2, and hopefully get more people to
write these tests.

Thomas Wouters 6dbff33be8 SF bug/patch #1433877: string parameter to ioctl not null terminated
The new char-array used in ioctl calls wasn't explicitly NUL-terminated;
quite probably the cause for the test_pty failures on Solaris that we
circumvented earlier. (I wasn't able to reproduce it with this patch, but it
has been somewhat elusive to start with.)
