[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers

Raw documentation for the bdist_wininst postinstallation script.

People are already using it, so these docs are certainly better than
no docs at all. Markup is mostly missing and the layout is probably
ugly, but this can be fixed later.
Question: there are references to MS docs for the CSIDL_... constants
and the IShellLink interface. Are these pointers sufficient, or should
the MS docs reworded and repeated here?

Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is
...
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.
This closes SF patch #649608 .

Patch #651621 , approved by MvL.
...
This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with
an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance:
z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w")
z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data)
z.close()
I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient
for simple (but common) things.
If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo
instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time,
which makes sense to me for anonymous data.

SF patch 637176: list.sort crasher
...
Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for
SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher
slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation. The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone! OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty. Better
than a core dump.
