regrtest doesn't check that tests doesn't write something to stdout anymore.
Don't replace sys.stdout by the original sys.stdout to be able to capture the
output for regrtest -W.
set the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET env variable for the interpreter process
on OS X. This could cause failures in non-distutils subprocesses and was
unreliable since tests or user programs could modify the interpreter
environment after distutils set it. Instead, have distutils set the
the deployment target only in the environment of each build subprocess.
Continue to use the previous algorithm for deriving the deployment target
value:
if MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is not set in the interpreter's env:
use the interpreter build configure MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
elif the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET env value >= configure value:
use the env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
else: # env value less than interpreter build configure value
raise exception
This allows building extensions that can only run on newer versions of
the OS than the version python was built for, for example with a python
built for 10.3 or later and an extension that needs to be built for 10.5.
os.lchflags() are once again built on systems that support these
functions (*BSD and OS X). Also add new stat file flags for OS X
(UF_HIDDEN and UF_COMPRESSED). Also add additional tests for
os.chflags() and os.lchflags(). (Tests by Garrett Cooper)
Locks are implemented using a mutex and a condition variable of the pthread
library on FreeBSD6. POSIX condition variables cannot be interrupted by signals
(see pthread_cond_wait manual page).
Mac OS X adds __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING variable to an empty environment. Fix
also the test on the Py_ENABLE_SHARED config varible: test that the variable is
present, don't check it's value.
Analogous to the decode_header fix, this fix makes Header.append and
make_header correctly handle the unknown-8bit charset introduced by email5.1,
when the input to them is binary strings. Previous to this fix the
make_header(decode_header(x)) == x invariant was broken in the face of the
unknown-8bit charset.
All of the other methods in mailbox that create message objects take care to
close the file descriptors they use, so it seems to make sense to have
__getitem__ do so as well.

AbstractHTTPHandler.do_open() of urllib.request closes the HTTP connection if
its getresponse() method fails with a socket error. Patch written by Ezio
Melotti.
multiprocessing: Process._bootstrap() keeps a reference to the old process to
delay its finalization until after _run_after_forkers() as been executed. This
change should fix a crash on Mac OS X Tiger when a lock is released after a
fork.
Patch written by Charles-François Nataliv and Antoine Pitrou.
Use of DeviceIoControl to obtain the symlink path via the reparse tag was
removed. The code now uses GetFinalPathNameByHandle in the case of a
symbolic link and works properly given the added test which creates a symbolic
link and calls os.stat on it from multiple locations.
Victor Stinner also noticed an issue with os.lstat following the os.stat
code path when being passed bytes. The posix_lstat function was adjusted to
properly hook up win32_lstat instead of the previous STAT macro (win32_stat).
Just try to open files from the ZIP for reading, don't extract them to avoid
UnicodeEncodeError if the filename is not encodable to the filesystem encoding
(e.g. ASCII locale encoding).
Rather than wrapping the C _isdir function in a Python function,
just import the C _isdir function directly. Additionally, add in the
docstring which was left out.
By changing to the Windows GetFileAttributes API in nt._isdir we can figure
out if the path is a directory without opening the file via os.stat. This has
the minor benefit of speeding up os.path.isdir by at least 2x for regular
files and 10-15x improvements were seen on symbolic links (which opened the
file multiple times during os.stat). Since os.path.isdir is used in
several places on interpreter startup, we get a minor speedup in startup time.
