(or how do I "mark" something to be a candidate?)
fixed an old buglet that caused bdb to be unable to
continue in the botframe, after a breakpoint was set.
the key idea is not to set botframe to the bottom level frame,
but its f_back, which actually might be None.
Additional changes: migrated old exception trick to use
sys._getframe(), which exists both in 2.1 and 2.2 .
Note: I believe Mark Hammond needs to look over his code now.
F5 correctly starts up in the debugger, but later on doesn't stop at a given
breakpoint any longer.
kind regards - chris
[ 559250 ] more POSIX signal stuff
Adds support (and docs and tests and autoconfery) for posix signal
mask handling -- sigpending, sigprocmask and sigsuspend.
for 'str' and 'unicode', and can be used instead of
types.StringTypes, e.g. to test whether something is "a string":
isinstance(x, string) is True for Unicode and 8-bit strings. This
is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated directly.
The old syntax suggested that a trailing comma was OK inside backticks,
but in fact (due to ideosyncrasies of pgen) it was not. Fix the grammar
to avoid the ambiguity. Fred: you may want to update the refman.
A MemoryError is now raised when the list cannot be created.
There is a test, but as the comment says, it really only
works for 32 bit systems. I don't know how to improve
the test for other systems (ie, 64 bit or systems
where the data size != addressable size,
e.g. 64 bit data, but 48 bit addressable memory)

I guess that I would like to complain and reopen this
issue. :,) I cannot build a Python 2.2.1 with threads
under Cygwin without this patch even though I'm using
Michael's static _socket workaround. This is due to the
Cygwin fork() problem with DLL base address conflicts
that are triggered by importing many modules during the
setup.py run. Similar problems can also be caused by
regrtest.py.
Even after my rebase patch is accepted into Cygwin's
setup.exe, I feel this patch will still be necessary.
This is because during the build process, the shared
extensions (i.e., DLLs) will not be rebased yet. Hence,
the potential for DLL base address conflicts will exist.
One way to obviate this patch is to push the rebase
functionality into Cygwin's ld. Unfortunately, I don't
think this is likely to happen. Another possible way,
is to use the yet to be defined and implemented unload
module functionality:
