Document that 'r' is the default flag for the legacy bsddb btopen(),
hashopen(), and rnopen() functions. This is apparently different than the
dbm libraries in other languages according to Bug #732951 . Changing
the default from 'r' to 'c' would break backwards compatibility with
legacy bsddb applications; documenting the default should suffice.

aed0a4a138
Rewrote the basic section of the chapter on defining new types.
...
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way:
- Use a class new method rather than a new function.
- Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators
- Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods.
- Make the type usable as a base type.
I split the example into 3 parts:
1. The minimal new type
2. Adding attributes and methods.
3. Finer control over attributes.
It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully
show this.
I also made minor wording changes in two other places.
I still need to update xxobject.c

SF bug #729096 : getopt online documentation example improvement

- pythunrun.c, Py_Finalize(): move the call to _Py_PrintReferences()
...
even farther down, to just before the call to
_PyObject_DebugMallocStats(). This required the following changes:
- pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an
exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is
available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception
(ever).
- object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL,
don't raise an exception but return 0. This means that when
printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on
and on. But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see
first bullet).
- Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to
PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.

From http://mail.python.org/pipermail/i18n-sig/2003-April/001557.html
...
- Expose NullTranslations and GNUTranslations to __all__
- Set the default charset to iso-8859-1. It used to be None, which
would cause problems with .ugettext() if the file had no charset
parameter. Arguably, the po/mo file would be broken, but I still think
iso-8859-1 is a reasonable default.
- Add a "coerce" default argument to GNUTranslations's constructor. The
reason for this is that in Zope, we want all msgids and msgstrs to be
Unicode. For the latter, we could use .ugettext() but there isn't
currently a mechanism for Unicode-ifying msgids.
The plan then is that the charset parameter specifies the encoding for
both the msgids and msgstrs, and both are decoded to Unicode when read.
For example, we might encode po files with utf-8. I think the GNU
gettext tools don't care.
Since this could potentially break code [*] that wants to use the
encoded interface .gettext(), the constructor flag is added, defaulting
to False. Most code I suspect will want to set this to True and use
.ugettext().
- A few other minor changes from the Zope project, including asserting
that a zero-length msgid must have a Project-ID-Version header for it to
be counted as the metadata record.

Back in June in revision 1.98 Steve (accidentally, presumably) wiped
...
out a month's worth of checkins to libstdtypes.tex (including my
extended slice docs).
I think this checkin merges them all back in, but if you make one of
these checkins:
revision 1.97
date: 2002/06/14 00:27:13; author: nnorwitz
Use \code{True} (or False) instead of true/false.
Not sure if code is correct, but that is what's in this file.
I've seen \constant{True} in other places.
----------------------------
revision 1.95
date: 2002/05/22 20:39:43; author: bwarsaw
Jack's documentation for the U mode character on the file()
constructor, vetted by Barry.
----------------------------
revision 1.94
date: 2002/05/21 18:19:15; author: rhettinger
Patch 543387. Document deprecation of complex %, //,and divmod().
----------------------------
revision 1.93
date: 2002/05/15 15:45:25; author: rhettinger
Added missing index entries for mapping methods. Closes patch
#548693 .
some checking may be in order.

I thought it was common practice to check things compiled before

checking them in? Oh well, this fixes various obvious mistakes and
changes a subsubsubsection (which doesn't exist) into a subsubsection
(which does). I'm not sure this matches the intent, but it seems to
read OK on a quick skim.

Patch #683592 revisited, after discussions with MvL:
...
- Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir()
will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode
argument.
- And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII.
- Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the
default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means
os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding
can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing
the error and fall back to a byte string.)
- Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex.
- Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation.
This checkin also fixes bug #696261 , which was due to os.listdir() not
using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are
supposed to.
