Change all the local names that start with SSL to start with PySSL.
The OpenSSL library defines lots of calls that start with "SSL_". The
calls for Python's SSL objects also started with "SSL_". This choice
made it really confusing to figure out which calls were to the library
and which calls were local to the file.
Add PySSL_SetError() that sets an exception based on the information
from SSL_get_error(). This function will eventually replace all the
calls that set it with an error message that is based on the name of
the call that failed rather than the reason it failed. (Example: If
SSL_connect() failed it used to report "SSL_connect error" now it will
offer a specific message about why SSL_connect failed.)
XXX It might be helpful to augment the error message generated
below with the name of the SSL function that generated the error.
I expect it's obvious most of the time.
Remove several unnecessary INCREFs in the module's constructor call.
PyDict_SetItem() and friends do the INCREF for you.
lseek(fp, 0L, SEEK_CUR) can make a filedescriptor unusable.
This workaround is expected to last only a few weeks (until GUSI
is fixed), but without it test_email fails.
value, so the programmer will have to catch OverflowError. I'm not sure
what /F's perspective is on this. Perhaps it should be caught and mapped to
an xmlrpclib-specific exception. None of the other type-specific dump
methods seem to do any exception handling though.
In SSL_dealloc(), free/dealloc them only if they're non-NULL.
Fixes some obvious core dumps, but not sure yet if there are more
semantics to the SSL calls that would affect the dealloc.
XXX [1] These changes aren't tested very thoroughly, because regrtest
doesn't do any SSL tests. I've done some trivial tests on my own, but
don't really know how to use the key and cert files. In one case, an
SSL-level error causes Python to dump core. I'll get the fixed in the
next round of changes.
XXX [2] The checkin removes the x_attr member of the SSLObject struct.
I'm not sure if this is kosher for backwards compatibility at the
binary level. Perhaps its safer to keep the member but keep it
assigned to NULL.
And the leaks?
newSSLObject() called PyDict_New(), stored the result in x_attr
without checking it, and later stored NULL in x_attr without doing
anything to the dict. So the dict always leaks. There is no further
reference to x_attr, so I just removed it completely.
The error cases in newSSLObject() passed the return value of
PyString_FromString() directly to PyErr_SetObject().
PyErr_SetObject() expects a borrowed reference, so the string leaked.

call, or via setting an instance or class vrbl.
Rewrote the calibration docs.
Modern boxes are so friggin' fast, and a profiler event does so much work
anyway, that the cost of looking up an instance vrbl (the bias constant)
per profile event just isn't a big deal.
the problem that slots weren't inherited properly. override_slots()
no longer exists; in its place comes fixup_slot_dispatchers() which
does more and different work and is table-based. (Eventually I want
this table also to replace all the little tab_foo tables.)
Also add a wrapper for __delslice__; this required a change in

This closes SF bug #468384.
Added warnings to the os.tempnam() and os.tmpnam() functions regarding their
security problem. These warning mirror the warnings added to the runtime
by Skip Montanaro.

raise an exception.
actual run of the profiler, instead of timing a simplified simulation of
part of what the profiler does. It computes a constant about 60% higher
on my Win98SE box than the old method, and the new constant appears much
more realistic. Deleted the undocumented simple(), instrumented(), and
profiler_simulation() methods (which existed only to support the previous
calibration method).
The strerror attribute contained only partial information about the
exception and produced some very confusing error messages. By passing
err (the exception object itself) and letting it convert itself to a
string, the error messages are better.
