patch removes dependencies on the old unsupported KoreanCodecs package
and the alternative JapaneseCodecs package. Since both of those
provide aliases for their codecs, this removal just makes the generic
codec names work.
We needed to make slight changes to __init__() as well.
This will be backported to Python 2.3 when its branch freeze is over.
The chief benefit of this change is that requests will now use
HTTP/1.1 instead of HTTP/1.0. Bump the module version number as part
of the change.
There are two possible incompatibilities that we'll need to watch out
for when we get to an alpha release. We may get a different class of
exceptions out of httplib, and the do_open() method changed its
signature. The latter is only important if anyone actually subclasses
AbstractHTTPHandler.
John J. Lee writes: "the patch makes it possible to implement
functionality like HTTP cookie handling, Refresh handling,
etc. etc. using handler objects. At the moment urllib2's handler
objects aren't quite up to the job, which results in a lot of
cut-n-paste and subclassing. I believe the changes are
backwards-compatible, with the exception of people who've
reimplemented build_opener()'s functionality -- those people would
need to call opener.add_handler(HTTPErrorProcessor).
The main change is allowing handlers to implement
methods like:
http_request(request)
http_response(request, response)
In addition to the usual
http_open(request)
http_error{_*}(...)
"
Note that the change isn't well documented at least in part because
handlers aren't well documented at all. Need to fix this.
Add a bunch of new tests. It appears that none of these tests
actually use the network, so they don't need to be guarded by a
resource flag.
test_tuple.py and test_list.py. Common tests for tuple, list and UserList
are shared (in seq_tests.py and list_tests.py). Port tests to PyUnit.

Implementation by Hye-Shik Chang (with tweaks by Raymond Hettinger).
Use case: Sometimes 'compiling' source files (with SWIG, for example)
creates additionl files which included by later sources. The win32all
setup script requires this.
There is no SF item for this, but it was discussed on distutils-sig:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2003-November/003514.html
by request of Donovan Preston. In return, he promised to use this
to create a Python OSA component, which would turn Python
into a first-class OSA scripting language (like AppleScript itself).
for Big String). This should make the tests pass on Win98SE. Note
that the docs only promise lengths up to 2048. Unfortunately this no
longer tests for the segfault I was seeing earlier, but I'm confident
I've nailed that one. :-) Fixes SF 852281. Will backport to 2.3.

Reorganize tests into functions so more combinations of
unicode/encoded/ascii can be tested, and while I was at it, upgrade to
unittest based test.
