using sort() with comparison functions (it made reference to the non-
existent "builtin-in function sort()").
BTW, I changed list.sort's docstring to contain the word "stable" -- the
easiest way to tell whether a particular Python version's sort *is* stable
is to look for "stable" in the docstring. I'm not sure whether to
advertise this <wink>.

The "Matching vs. Searching" Info node is unreachable from the Info

it. This is the only occurrence where the info reader fails, so
probably it could be addressed in the python docs as a workaround.

The Py_REF_DEBUG/COUNT_ALLOCS/Py_TRACE_REFS macro minefield: added
...
more trivial lexical helper macros so that uses of these guys expand
to nothing at all when they're not enabled. This should help sub-
standard compilers that can't do a good job of optimizing away the
previous "(void)0" expressions.
Py_DECREF: There's only one definition of this now. Yay! That
was that last one in the family defined multiple times in an #ifdef
maze.
Py_FatalError(): Changed the char* signature to const char*.
_Py_NegativeRefcount(): New helper function for the Py_REF_DEBUG
expansion of Py_DECREF. Calling an external function cuts down on
the volume of generated code. The previous inline expansion of abort()
didn't work as intended on Windows (the program often kept going, and
the error msg scrolled off the screen unseen). _Py_NegativeRefcount
calls Py_FatalError instead, which captures our best knowledge of
how to abort effectively across platforms.

Major overhaul of timeout sockets:
...
- setblocking(0) and settimeout(0) are now equivalent, and ditto for
setblocking(1) and settimeout(None).
- Don't raise an exception from internal_select(); let the final call
report the error (this means you will get an EAGAIN error instead of
an ETIMEDOUT error -- I don't care).
- Move the select to inside the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS brackets,
so other theads can run (this was a bug in the original code).
- Redid the retry logic in connect() and connect_ex() to avoid masking
errors. This probably doesn't work for Windows yet; I'll fix that
next. It may also fail on other platforms, depending on what
retrying a connect does; I need help with this.
- Get rid of the retry logic in accept(). I don't think it was needed
at all. But I may be wrong.

SF patch 555085 (timeout socket implementation) by Michael Gilfix.
...
I've made considerable changes to Michael's code, specifically to use
the select() system call directly and to store the timeout as a C
double instead of a Python object; internally, -1.0 (or anything
negative) represents the None from the API.
I'm not 100% sure that all corner cases are covered correctly, so
please keep an eye on this. Next I'm going to try it Windows before
Tim complains.
No way is this a bugfix candidate. :-)

up-to-date information.
Also noted that __coerce__ may return NotImplemented, with the same
meaning as None.
I beg Fred forgiveness: my use of \code{} is probably naive. Please
fix this and other markup nits. An index entry would be nice.

SF bug 533625 (Armin Rigo). rexec: potential security hole

If a rexec instance allows writing in the current directory (a common
thing to do), there's a way to execute bogus bytecode. Fix this by
not allowing imports from .pyc files (in a way that allows a site to
configure things so that .pyc files *are* allowed, if writing is not
allowed).

Mostly in SequenceMatcher.{__chain_b, find_longest_match}:
...
This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently
repeated as to constitute noise. The primary benefit is an enormous
speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors
of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the
sequences have many duplicate elements. In effect, this zooms in on
sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now.
While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider
this experimental. Please give it a try!

Repair widespread misuse of _PyString_Resize. Since it's clear people
...
don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs. The
most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos):
if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) {
Py_DECREF(s);
s = NULL;
goto outtahere;
}
The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically
decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its
refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL. So if the "if"
branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s): s is already
NULL! A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended)
if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0)
goto outtahere;
Bugfix candidate.

can now pass 'None' as the filename for the bsddb.*open functions,
and you'll get an in-memory temporary store.
docs are ripped out of the bsddb dbopen man page. Fred may want to
clean them up.
Considering this for 2.2, but not 2.1.

Move "everything left one": the TOC now shows each doc directory as a

distinct top-level node. Before they were all nested under an artificial
top-level node, uselessly chewing up horizontal space, and ensuring that
the only thing the user saw in the TOC upon opening the file was a single
collapsed top-level folder.

Stopped all warnings from the HTML Help Compiler, by generating proper
...
HTML (or, at least, proper in its view). The TOC file is now identical
to what the HTML compiler itself generates, except for whitespace and
a glitch identified below. The pretty-printing done by prechm.py is
pretty much destroyed for now; if you need it pretty-printed, just make
the Help Compiler save the files (it's got its own idea of pretty-
printing anyway).
Glitch: The title of Ref Man "2.1.6 Blank lines" shows up as a blank
for now. This is because the relevant entry in ref/index.html contains
nested anchors, and pychm really has no idea what to do with that. I
hacked it for now to avoid any error messages or worse insanity, and
filed a bug report against the docs.

Widespread: Used classes in a more natural way. Added convenience

methods to squash code duplication. Simplified several overly complex
chunks of logic. Built output strings more with string interpolation
instead of infix '+'. Added comments. Exploited recent Python features
