Gregory P. Smith 19b4411181 Major improvements:
* Default to using /dev/tty for the password prompt and input before
  falling back to sys.stdin and sys.stderr.
* Use sys.stderr instead of sys.stdout.
* print the 'password may be echoed' warning to stream used to display
  the prompt rather than always sys.stderr.
* warn() with GetPassWarning when input may be echoed.

Christian Heimes 6f34109384 I finally got the time to update and merge Mark's and my trunk-math branch. The patch is collaborated work of Mark Dickinson and me. It was mostly done a few months ago. The patch fixes a lot of loose ends and edge cases related to operations with NaN, INF, very small values and complex math.
The patch also adds acosh, asinh, atanh, log1p and copysign to all platforms. Finally it fixes differences between platforms like different results or exceptions for edge cases. Have fun :)

Brett Cannon e974689038 Re-implement the 'warnings' module in C. This allows for usage of the
'warnings' code in places where it was previously not possible (e.g., the
parser). It could also potentially lead to a speed-up in interpreter start-up
if the C version of the code (_warnings) is imported over the use of the
Python version in key places.

Closes issue #1631171.

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc 7adc776ea6 Issue 2408: remove the _types module
It was only used as a helper in types.py to access types (GetSetDescriptorType and MemberDescriptorType),
when they can easily be obtained with python code.
These expressions even work with Jython.

I don't know what the future of the types module is; (cf. discussion in http://bugs.python.org/issue1605 )
at least this change makes it simpler.

Gregory P. Smith a5cfcad0e3 Prevent ioctl op codes from being sign extended from int to unsigned long
when used on platforms that actually define ioctl as taking an unsigned long.
(the BSDs and OS X / Darwin)

Adds a unittest for fcntl.ioctl that tests what happens with both positive and
negative numbers.

This was done because of issue1471 but I'm not able to reproduce -that- problem
in the first place on Linux 32bit or 64bit or OS X 10.4 & 10.5 32bit or 64 bit.

This somewhat odd behavior of returning a signed is maintained in 2.x for
compatibility reasons of always returning an integer rather than a long object.
