builds during which he forgot to uncomment crucial library lines in
Setup, walks into Guido's East End nightclub with a tactical nuclear
weapon on his shoulder. Said nuclear weapon is promptly deployed
exactly where it will do the most good, right in the middle of
configure.in.
With this patch, the set of libraries autoconfigured in is extended to
include ndbm, gdbm, and crypt. This essentially eliminates any need to
tweak Setup for a normal Linux build.

of dbmmodule dynamically by default (otherwise it can pull in
dependencies with libdb that croak pybsddb3). This change moves the
Setup line for dbmmodule to Setup.config.in.
(bugs #115903, #115696)
This is based on a patch by Darrel Gallion. I'm not 100%
sure about this fix, but I haven't managed to come up with
any test case it cannot handle...
-- added some more docstrings
-- fixed typo in scanner class (#125531)
-- the multiline flag (?m) should't affect the \Z operator (#127259)
-- fixed non-greedy backtracking bug (#123769, #127259)
-- added sre.DEBUG flag (currently dumps the parsed pattern structure)
-- fixed a couple of glitches in groupdict (the #126587 memory leak
had already been fixed by AMK)
xreadlines inserted themselves inbetween the two) and clarify that the
normal socket module should be commented out. (Someone also suggested the
latter on c.l.py some time ago, I forget who, sorry.)
Wasn't built on Windows; not in config.c either.
Module init function missing DL_EXPORT magic.
test_xreadline output file obviously wrong (started w/ "test_xrl").
test program very unclear about what was expected.
bugs #126161 and 123634).
The solution doesn't use the unicode-escape encoding; that has other
problems (it seems not 100% reversible). Rather, it transforms the
input Unicode object slightly before encoding it using
raw-unicode-escape, so that the decoding will reconstruct the original
string: backslash and newline characters are translated into their
\uXXXX counterparts.
This is backwards incompatible for strings containing backslashes, but
for some of those strings, the pickling was already broken.
Note that SF bug #123634 complains specifically that cPickle fails to
unpickle the pickle for u'' (the empty Unicode string) correctly.
This was an off-by-one error in load_unicode().
XXX Ugliness: in order to do the modified raw-unicode-escape, I've
cut-and-pasted a copy of PyUnicode_EncodeRawUnicodeEscape() into this
file that also encodes '\\' and '\n'. It might be nice to migrate
this into the Unicode implementation and give this encoding a new name
('half-raw-unicode-escape'? 'pickle-unicode-escape'?); that would help
pickle.py too. But right now I can't be bothered with the necessary
infrastructural changes.
