initialization of class exceptions. Specifically:
init_class_exc(): This function now returns an integer status of the
class exception initialization. No fatal errors in this method now.
Also, use PySys_WriteStderr() when writing error messages. When an
error occurs in this function, 0 is returned, but the partial creation
of the exception classes is not undone (this happens elsewhere).
Things that could trigger the fallback:
- exceptions.py fails to be imported (due to syntax error, etc.)
- one of the exception classes is missing (e.g. due to library
version mismatch)
- exception class can't be inserted into __builtin__'s dictionary
- MemoryError instance can't be pre-allocated
- some other PyErr_Occurred
newstdexception(): Changed the error message. This is still a fatal
error because if the string based exceptions can't be created, we
really can't continue.
initerrors(): Be sure to xdecref the .exc field, which might be
non-NULL if class exceptions init was aborted.
_PyBuiltin_Init_2(): If class exception init fails, print a warning
message and reinstate the string based exceptions.
that file in fact did not exist or at least was not used. Change this
so that __file__ is *only* set to the .pyc/.pyo file when it actually
read the code object from it; otherwise __file__ is set to the .py
file.
happen when you use a non-keyword argument after a keyword argument,
and in this case you also get a syntax error. I fully suspect that
the underflow is caused by the code that stops generating code when it
detects the syntax error, but I can't find the culprit right now. I
know, I know.)
The MS compiler doesn't call it 'long long', it uses __int64,
so a new #define, LONG_LONG, has been added and all occurrences
of 'long long' are replaced with it.
This is a patch that Bill Bummgarner did for 1.4 that hasn't made its
way into the distribution yet. This is important if you want to use
the ObjC module.

built-in module bar that's a submodule of a frozen package foo, by
registering the built-in module with a name "foo.bar" in the table of
builtin modules.)
an exception from errno, with a supplied filename (primarily used by
IOError and OSError). If class exceptions are used then the exception
is instantiated with a 3-tuple: (errno, strerror, filename). For
backwards compatibility reasons, if string exceptions are used,
filename is ignored.
PyErr_SetFromErrno(): Implement in terms of
PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename().
OSError. The EnvironmentError serves primarily as the (common
implementation) base class for IOError and OSError. OSError is used
by posixmodule.c
Also added tuple definition of EnvironmentError when using string
based exceptions.
(1) If a sequence S is shorter than len(S) indicated, don't fail --
just use the shorter size. (I.e, len(S) is just a hint.)
(2) Implement the special case map(None, S) as list(S) -- it's faster.

the errno that's being read by compile.c. Wonder how many other files
that do their own "#include config.h" need this too :-(
(Because of the structure of autoconf, it's not so simple to get this
into config.h...)
the filename contains at least a rudimentary pathname.
(The bad part is that we need to call getcwd() because only a prefix
of ".\\" is not enough -- we prefix the drive letter.)

exception when an undefined type is found -- all this to increase the
chance that garbage input causes an exception instead of a core dump.

the code here becomes much simpler. In particular: abs(), divmod(),
pow(), int(), long(), float(), len(), tuple(), list().

A few other cosmetic things, such as properly reindenting slice().
old value in a temporary and XDECREF it only after then new value has
been set. This prevents the (unlikely) case where the destructor of
the member uses the containing object -- it would find it in an
undefined state.
because the path through the code would notice that sys.__path__ did
not exist and it would fall back to the default path (builtins +
sys.path) instead of failing). No longer.

Subject: getargs bug in 1.2 and 1.3 BETA
We have found a bug in the part of the getargs code that we added
and submitted, and which was incorporated into 1.1.
The parsing of "O?" format specifiers is not handled correctly;
there is no "else" for the "if" and therefore it can never fail.
What's worse, the advancing of the varargs pointer is not
handled properly, so from then on it is out of sync, wreaking
all sorts of havoc. (If it had failed properly, then the out-of-sync
varargs would not have been an issue.)
Below is the context diff for the change.
Note that I have made a few stylistic changes beyond adding the
else case, namely:
1) Making the "O" case follow the convention established by the other
format specifiers of getting all their vararg arguments before
performing the test, rather than getting some before and some after
the test passes.
2) Making the logic of the tests parallel, so the "if" part indicates
that the format is accepted and the "else" part indicates that the
format has failed. They were inconsistent with each other and with the
the other format specifiers.

-1 is returned and the existing table is unchanged.
