The code is shorter, more readable, faster, and dramatically increases the
range of acceptable dates.
Also, used the floor division operator in leapdays().

Switch back to installing IDLE as a package. The IDLE GUI and the
subprocess will both attempt to start up via the package mechanism, but if
IDLE is not yet installed it is possible to run by calling python idle.py
in the IDLE source directory, or to add the source directory to sys.path.
One advantage of doing it this way is IDLE stays off sys.path.
Developed in collaboration with Tony Lownds.
Here's a draft. I have no immediate use for it, but I'd like this to
be available for experimentation. I may withdraw it or change it
radically up to and including the release of Python 2.3b1.

1. Update MANIFEST.in to include all non-pure Python files
2. PyShell and idlever reflect Rev 0.9a0
3. setup.py modified to install IDLE as a collection of modules with
a .pth file living at the idlelib level in site-packages. This was
done to make it easier to run from the source directory prior to
installing IDLE. This approach may change back to the package
technique depending on what happens with the Mac installation
development.
be trusted with years before 1900, so now we raise ValueError if a date or
datetime or datetimetz .strftime() method is called with a year before
1900.
such that the datetime tests failed if the envar PYTHON2K was set.
This is an utter mess, and the datetime module's strftime functions
inherit it. I suspect that, regardless of the PYTHON2K setting, and
regardless of platform limitations, the datetime strftime wrappers
will end up delivering nonsense results (or bogus exceptions) for
any year before 1900. I should probably just refuse to accept years
earlier than that -- else we'll have to implement strftime() by hand.
{timetz,datetimetz}.{utcoffset,dst}() now return a timedelta (or None)
instead of an int (or None).
tzinfo.{utcoffset,dst)() can now return a timedelta (or an int, or None).
Curiously, this was much easier to do in the C implementation than in the
Python implementation (which lives in the Zope3 code tree) -- the C code
already had lots of hair to extract C ints from offset objects, and used
C ints internally.
