Not that I haven't tested it to make sure it works, just that it
can run against an empty source file.
Initial patch by Popa.Claudiu.
Here we also add a test (which uses mock, which is why I didn't
check it in on 3.2).
This patch changes a few of the scripts to have __name__=='__main__'
clauses so that they are importable without running. Also fixes the
syntax errors revealed by the tests.

clauses so that they are importable without running. Also fixes the

The line about the test suite will still get printed for changes in
Tools for example, which aren’t covered by the test suite, but it’s not
a big deal IMO.

renamed tokenize and now works with bytes rather than strings. A new
detect_encoding function has been added for determining source file encoding
according to PEP-0263. Token sequences returned by tokenize always start
with an ENCODING token which specifies the encoding used to decode the file.
This token is used to encode the output of untokenize back to bytes.
Credit goes to Michael "I'm-going-to-name-my-first-child-unittest" Foord from Resolver Systems for this work.

This contains a number of things:
1) Improve the documentation of the SSL module, with a fuller
explanation of certificate usage, another reference, proper
formatting of this and that.
2) Fix Windows bug in ssl.py, and general bug in sslsocket.close().
Remove some unused code from ssl.py. Allow accept() to be called on
sslsocket sockets.
3) Use try-except-else in import of ssl in socket.py. Deprecate use of
socket.ssl().
4) Remove use of socket.ssl() in every library module, except for
test_socket_ssl.py and test_ssl.py.

Somewhat-preliminary slice-object and extended slicing support for ctypes.
The exact behaviour of omitted and negative indices for the Pointer type may
need a closer look (especially as it's subtly different from simple slices)
but there's time yet before 2.6, and not enough before 3.0a1 :-)
