Refactors format_string. Includes tests for the two problems noted in
the issue, but as far as I can see there are no other tests that confirm
that format_string conforms to normal % formatting rules.
by default as well. This change fixes that by treating -Q like -3 when it comes
to DeprecationWarning; using it causes the silencing to not occur.
Fixes issue #7319.
where the method could block indefinitely if called just before the
event loop started running. This also fixes the occasional freezes
witnessed in test_httpservers.
a non-infinite timeout. Also make that method friendlier with applications
wanting to continue using the socket in clear-text mode, by disabling
OpenSSL's internal readahead. Thanks to Darryl Miles for guidance.

PyMarshal_ReadLastObjectFromFile, which doesn't bring any noticeable
benefit compared to the dynamic memory allocation fallback. Patch by
Charles-François Natali.
Two itimer tests and an interprocess signal test fail on FreeBSD 6 if
any test that starts a thread runs before test_signal. Since FreeBSD7
does not show this behavior, the bug is most likely a platform bug,
so this patch just skips the failing tests on freebsd6.
Instead of spaces between the filename and date (or whatever the string
is that follows the filename, if any) use tabs. This is what the unix
'diff' command does, for example, and difflib was intended to follow
the 'standard' way of doing diffs. This improves compatibility with
patch tools. The docs and examples are also changed to recommended that
the date format used be the ISO 8601 format, which is what modern diff
tools emit by default.

Fixed a typo in the email.encoders module so that messages output using
an ISO-2022 character set will use a content-transfer-encoding of
7bit consistently. Previously if the input data had any eight bit
characters the output data would get marked as 8bit even though it
was actually 7bit.
