fairly large, most are caused by reformatting section and subsection
headings. The changes fall into the following categories:
* reformatted section and subsection headers.
* escaped isolated asterisks which would be interpreted as starting bold
or italic text (e.g. "void (*)(PyObject \*)").
* quoted stuff that looks like internal references but isn't
(e.g. ``PyCmp_``).
* changed visually balanced quotes to just use apostrophes
(e.g. "'string'" instead of "`string'").
* introduced and indenting multiline chunks of code.
* created one table (search for "New codecs").
This fixes the charming, but unhelpful error message for
>>> pickle.dumps(type.__new__)
Can't pickle <built-in method __new__ of type object at 0x812a440>: it's not the same object as datetime.math.__new__
Bugfix candidate.
The switch in Exception__str__ didn't clear the error if
PySequence_Size() raised an exception. Added a case -1 which clears
the error and falls through to the default case.
Definite backport candidate (this dates all the way to Python 2.0).
Rev 1.6 GvR
Finally fix SF bug #441172, using a variant of patch ##443626:
canceling an edit operation would not revert the value of the field.
The fix takes care to destroy the Entry object, as suggested in the
patch.
Rev 1.7 Geiger Ho / GvR
(previously applied - Idlefork Rev 1.3)
Rev 1.8 doerwalter
(string methods)
Rev 1.11 GvR
Fix for SF bug #448835.
Fix this to work with the new (still undocumented) tabnanny API.
I'm afraid Stephen will have to add this fix to the IDLE fork code
base as well.

(skip, done differently in Idlefork)
Rev 1.13 time_one
(skip, NA)
Rev 1.35 fdrake
Use string.ascii_letters instead of string.letters (SF bug #226706).
Move computation of sets of characters out of the body of the function
that uses them.
Rev 1.36 tim_one
Convert a pile of obvious "yes/no" functions to return bool
Rev 1.37
(skip, done differently in Idlefork)
Rev 1.38 loewis
Patch #590913: PEP 263 support.
Rev 1.39 loewis
Convert characters from the locale's encoding on output.
Reject characters outside the locale's encoding on input.

Rev 1.41
(skipped, done by GvR in rpc)
the end, in the hope of saving some bytes on 64-bit machines. (Too
bad n_nchildren can't be made an unsigned short, but
test/test_longexp.py specifically tests for more than 2**16 subtrees
at one level.)
I don't expect any binary compatibility issues here, unless someone
has an old binary of parsermodule.so saved away.
Rev 1.5 tim_one
Convert a pile of obvious "yes/no" functions to return bool.
Rev 1.6 gvanrossum
(partially merged previously, move line outside try: block)
Provisional fix for writefile() [SF bug # 541730].
The problem was that an exception can occur in the text.get() call or
in the write() call, when the text buffer contains non-ASCII
characters. This causes the previous contents of the file to be lost.
The provisional fix is to call str(self.text.get(...)) *before*
opening the file, so that if the exception occurs, we never open the
file.
Two orthogonal better solutions have to wait for policy decisions:
1. We could try to encode the data as Latin-1 or as UTF-8; but that
would require IDLE to grow a notion of file encoding which requires
more thought.
2. We could make backups before overwriting a file. This requires
more thought because it needs to be fast and cross-platform and
configurable.
Rev 1.7 gvanrossum
(previously merged with modifications by Stephen M. Gava)
Add primitive printing support for Unix and Windows.
Rev 1.8 loewis
Patch #590913: PEP 263 support.
Rev 1.9 gvanrossum
(tempfile.py interface -- deferred)
Rev 1.10 tim_one
whitespace normalization
Rev 1.11 nnorwitz
(deferred pending 1.9 integration)
Rev 1.39 GvR
Properly fix SF bug #507298 (Gregor Lingl): shellpython2.2 -Qnew smart
indent error
Use // where int division is intended. (This breaks IDLE for use with
previous Python versions -- I don't care.)
Rev 1.40 tim_one
Convert a pile of obvious "yes/no" functions to return bool.
Rev 1.41 foffani/loewis
(already merged) - MS html help
Rev 1.42
(skip, done differently in Idlefork)
Rev 1.43 tzot/rhettinger
Extended IDLE's open module menu item to handle hierarchical module names.
Will look at doing something similar in import.c so that the effort won't
have to be repeated elsewhere.
Closes SF patch 600152.
