Fixed the signed/unsigned confusions when dealing with files >= 2GB.
4GB is still a hard limitation of the gzip file format, though.
Testing this was a bitch on Win98SE due to frequent system freezes. It
didn't freeze while running gzip, it kept freezing while trying to *create*
a > 2GB test file! This wasn't Python's doing. I don't know of a
reasonable way to test this functionality in regrtest.py, so I'm not
checking in a test case (a test case would necessarily require creating
a 2GB+ file first, using gzip to zip it, using gzip to unzip it again,
and then compare before-and-after; so >4GB free space would be required,
and a loooong time; I did all this "by hand" once).
Bugfix candidate, I guess.
This fixes an indentation bug reported by Jeremy when seeing multiple
list comprehensions like so:
[x for x in seq
if blah(x)]
# ...
[y for y in seq
if blah(y)]
The reason this broke is because this regexp caused the "find a safe
parsing start location higher up in the file" test to erroneously find
the if in the listcomp. I think the other keywords in this regexp are
fine and good enough.
After a weekend of testing, I can't find any adverse effects.
sys.getwindowsversion() on Windows (new enahanced Tim-proof <wink>
version), and fix test_pep277.py in a few minor ways.
Including doc and NEWS entries.
fairly large, most are caused by reformatting section and subsection
headings. The changes fall into the following categories:
* reformatted section and subsection headers.
* escaped isolated asterisks which would be interpreted as starting bold
or italic text (e.g. "void (*)(PyObject \*)").
* quoted stuff that looks like internal references but isn't
(e.g. ``PyCmp_``).
* changed visually balanced quotes to just use apostrophes
(e.g. "'string'" instead of "`string'").
* introduced and indenting multiline chunks of code.
* created one table (search for "New codecs").

This adds two new functions to mimetypes:
guess_all_extensions() which returns a list of all known
extensions for a mime type, and add_type() which adds one
mapping between a mime type and an extension.
HTML tarball and use it to create a documentation tree readable and
searchable with Apple Help Viewer. The documentation also shows up in
Project Builder (if you add Python.framework to your project).
