Tim Peters feec4533e2 Bug 1003935: xrange overflows
Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function
is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing.

Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New().  This fixes a variety
of bogus errors.  Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now.

Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that
CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to
native C longs.

Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that
relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.

Michael W. Hudson 049e7aaa0f Point out that the setdefault defaults the value to None. Inspired by
Michael Chermside's thinking about patch #748126 (the chief upshot of
which thinking was "reject it!").

Andrew M. Kuchling cbbee6fed5 [Bug #984952] Include more material from PEP 307.
I haven't tried to include all the material on old-style classes using protocols 0,1.  The details are lengthy; someone who knows
more about the pickle module should decide if they're important enough
to be in the docs or not.

    def width(u):
        w = 0
        for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
            cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)

Fred Drake f901abdd62 allow ctime(), gmtime(), and localtime() to take None as equivalent to an omitted arg
(closes SF bug #658254, patch #663482)

Fred Drake d04573fef0 This allows additional commands to be provided for existing setup.py
scripts without modifying either the distutils installation or the
setup.py scripts of packages with which the new commands will be used.

Specifically, an option is added to distutils that allows additional
packages to be searched for command implementations in addition to
distutils.command.  The additional packages can be specified on the
command line or via the installation or personal configuration files
already loaded by distutils.

For discussion, see the thread starting with:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2004-August/004112.html

This closes SF patch #102241.
