run first. Indirectly due to Skip adding check_all("pty") to test___all__:
that caused the expected ImportError due to pty.py trying to import the
non-existent FCNTL to get handled by test___all__, leaving a partial
module object for pty in sys.modules, which caused the later import of
pty via test_pty to succeed. Then test_tpy died with an AttributeError,
due to trying to access attributes of pty that didn't exist. regrtest
viewed that as a failure rather than the appropriate "test skipped".
Fixed by deleting partial module objects in test___all__ when test___all__
handles an ImportError.
Bug was introduced by tricks played to make .pyc files executable
via cmdline arg. Then again, -x worked via a trick to begin with.
If anyone can think of a portable way to test -x, be my guest!
Guido told me to do this <wink>.
Greatly expanded docstrings, and fleshed out with examples.
New std test.
Added new get_close_matches() function for ESR.
Needs docs, but LaTeXification of the module docstring is all it needs.

runs cleanly.
of nested functions. Either is allowed in a function if it contains
no defs or lambdas or the defs and lambdas it contains have no free
variables. If a function is itself nested and has free variables,
either is illegal.
Revise the symtable to use a PySymtableEntryObject, which holds all
the revelent information for a scope, rather than using a bunch of
st_cur_XXX pointers in the symtable struct. The changes simplify the
internal management of the current symtable scope and of the stack.
Added new C source file: Python/symtable.c. (Does the Windows build
process need to be updated?)
As part of these changes, the initial _symtable module interface
introduced in 2.1a2 is replaced. A dictionary of
PySymtableEntryObjects are returned.
hooks to take over the Python import machinery at a very early stage
in the Python startup phase.
If there are still places in the Python interpreter which need to
bypass the __import__ hook, these places must now use
PyImport_ImportModuleEx() instead. So far no other places than in
the import mechanism itself have been identified.
