BOM_UTF32, BOM_UTF32_LE and BOM_UTF32_BE that represent the Byte
Order Mark in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings for little and
big endian systems.
The old names BOM32_* and BOM64_* were off by a factor of 2.

Rewrote the subsection on coercion rules (and made it a proper
subsection, with a label). The new section is much less precise,
because precise rules would be too hard to give (== I don't know what
they are any more :-). OTOH, the new section gives much more
up-to-date information.
Also noted that __coerce__ may return NotImplemented, with the same
meaning as None.
I beg Fred forgiveness: my use of \code{} is probably naive. Please
fix this and other markup nits. An index entry would be nice.
This could be a 2.2 bugfix candidate, if we bother about old docs
(Fred?)
If a rexec instance allows writing in the current directory (a common
thing to do), there's a way to execute bogus bytecode. Fix this by
not allowing imports from .pyc files (in a way that allows a site to
configure things so that .pyc files *are* allowed, if writing is not
allowed).
I'll apply this to 2.2 and 2.1 too.
[ 559250 ] more POSIX signal stuff
Adds support (and docs and tests and autoconfery) for posix signal
mask handling -- sigpending, sigprocmask and sigsuspend.
This patch adds Milan Zamazal's conversion script and
modifies the mkinfo script to build the info doc files
from the LaTeX sources. Currently, the mac, doc and
inst TeX files are not handled.
Explicitly checks for GNU Emacs 21.
to do the inplace-edit with a backup file. A quick test leads me to
believe this is sufficient to allow building the documentation on Cygwin;
a full test is in progress.
(reported by François Pinard).
Added some missing "_" characters in the same cluster of productions.
Added missing floor division operator in m_expr production, and mention
floor division in the relevant portion of the text.
This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently
repeated as to constitute noise. The primary benefit is an enormous
speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors
of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the
sequences have many duplicate elements. In effect, this zooms in on
sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now.
While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider
this experimental. Please give it a try!
don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs. The
most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos):
if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) {
Py_DECREF(s);
s = NULL;
goto outtahere;
}
The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically
decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its
refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL. So if the "if"
branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s): s is already
NULL! A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended)
if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0)
goto outtahere;
Bugfix candidate.
closes SF #514433
can now pass 'None' as the filename for the bsddb.*open functions,
and you'll get an in-memory temporary store.
docs are ripped out of the bsddb dbopen man page. Fred may want to
clean them up.
Considering this for 2.2, but not 2.1.

This adds the optional argument for str.strip
to unicode.strip too and makes it possible
to call str.strip with a unicode argument
and unicode.strip with a str argument.

top-level node, uselessly chewing up horizontal space, and ensuring that
the only thing the user saw in the TOC upon opening the file was a single

a glitch identified below. The pretty-printing done by prechm.py is
pretty much destroyed for now; if you need it pretty-printed, just make
the Help Compiler save the files (it's got its own idea of pretty-
printing anyway).
Glitch: The title of Ref Man "2.1.6 Blank lines" shows up as a blank
for now. This is because the relevant entry in ref/index.html contains
nested anchors, and pychm really has no idea what to do with that. I
hacked it for now to avoid any error messages or worse insanity, and
filed a bug report against the docs.
methods to squash code duplication. Simplified several overly complex
chunks of logic. Built output strings more with string interpolation
instead of infix '+'. Added comments. Exploited recent Python features
(chiefly bool and augmented assignment).
to reference fields via names instead of meaningless little integers.
This turned up one case where the wrong little integer was being used,
in informative progress output. Fixed that too.
