There's one major and one minor category still unfixed:
doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the
refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon);
other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category.
(Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)

This test doesn't pass on Windows. The cause seems to be that chmod
doesn't support the same funcationality as on Unix. I'm not sure if
this fix is the best (or if it will even work)--it's a test to see
if the buildbots start passing again.
It might be better to not even run this test if it's windows (or non-posix).

SF patch #1630975: Fix crash when replacing sys.stdout in sitecustomize
When running the interpreter in an environment that would cause it to set
stdout/stderr/stdin's encoding, having a sitecustomize that would replace
them with something other than PyFile objects would crash the interpreter.
Fix it by simply ignoring the encoding-setting for non-files.
This could do with a test, but I can think of no maintainable and portable
way to test this bug, short of adding a sitecustomize.py to the buildsystem
and have it always run with it (hmmm....)

[Apply length-checking.diff from bug #1599254]
Add length checking to single-file mailbox formats: before doing a
flush() on a mailbox, seek to the end and verify its length is
unchanged, raising ExternalClashError if the file's length has
changed.
This fix avoids potential data loss if some other process appends to
the mailbox file after the table of contents has been generated;
instead of overwriting the modified file, you'll get the exception.
I also noticed that the self._lookup() call in self.flush() wasn't
necessary (everything that sets self._pending to True also calls
self.lookup()), and replaced it by an assertion.
2.5 backport candidate.

cPickle cannot be imported. This was necessary because my last mass
checkin broke cPickle and I don't feel like debugging it right now;
but it seems a good idea in general not to require cPickle when
pickle.py is also there. A few unrelated fixes for issues while
debigging various test failures.
setup.py: disable building of cPickle until I've fixed it
Objects/...
genobject.c: disallow raising string exceptions
Lib/...
Cookie.py: fix doctest not to fail if cPickle is missing
ctypes/macholib/dyld.py: fix relative imports
sqlite3/__init__.py: fix relative import
xml/dom/__init__.py: fix relative import
Lib/test/...
regrtest.py: reduce list of skipped items on darwin
test_generators.py: don't test string exceptions; test throw() errors
test_traceback.py: don't test string exceptions
pickletester.py: don't fail if cPickle is missing
test_datetime.py: don't fail if cPickle is missing
test_descr.py: don't fail if cPickle is missing (still some other failures)
test_exceptions.py: don't fail if cPickle is missing
test_re.py: don't fail if cPickle is missing
test_array.py: use pickle, not cPickle
test_bool.py: don't fail if cPickle is missing
test_deque.py: use pickle, not cPickle
test_logging.py: use pickle, not cPickle
deque_item(): a performance bug: the linked list of blocks was followed
from the left in most cases, because the test (i < (deque->len >> 1)) was
after "i %= BLOCKLEN".
deque_clear(): replaced a call to deque_len() with deque->len; not sure what
this call was here for, nor if all compilers under the sun would inline it.
deque_traverse(): I belive that it could be called by the GC when the deque
has leftblock==rightblock==NULL, because it is tracked before the first block
is allocated (though closely before). Still, a C extension module subclassing
deque could provide its own tp_alloc that could trigger a GC collection after
the PyObject_GC_Track()...
deque_richcompare(): rewrote to cleanly check for end-of-iterations instead of
relying on deque.__iter__().next() to succeed exactly len(deque) times -- an
assumption which can break if deques are subclassed. Added a test.
I wonder if the length should be explicitely bounded to INT_MAX, with
OverflowErrors, as in listobject.c. On 64-bit machines, adding more than
INT_MAX in the deque will result in trouble. (Note to anyone/me fixing
this: carefully check for overflows if len is close to INT_MAX in the
following functions: deque_rotate(), deque_item(), deque_ass_item())
(Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.)
The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be
checked-in soon. Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's
rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in
in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev).
The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is
meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch. Further additions are
welcome from everyone. Please stress test this new feature as much as
possible before the alpha release.
same method that implements __setitem__ also implements __delitem__.
Also, there were several good use cases (removing items from a queue
and implementing Forth style stack ops).
__getitem__() and __setitem__().
Simplifies the API, reduces the code size, adds flexibility, and makes
deques work with bisect.bisect(), random.shuffle(), and random.sample().
* Add doctests for the examples in the library reference.
* Add two methods, left() and right(), modeled after deques in C++ STL.
* Apply the new method to asynchat.py.
* Add comparison operators to make deques more substitutable for lists.
* Replace the LookupErrors with IndexErrors to more closely match lists.
