SF patch #103683 : Alternative dll version resources.
Changes similar to the patch. MarkH should review.
File version and Product version text strings now 2.1a2.
64-bit file and product version numbers are now
PY_MAJOR_VERSION, PY_MINOR_VERSION, messy, PYTHON_API_VERSION
where
messy = PY_MICRO_VERSION*1000 + PY_RELEASE_LEVEL*10 + PY_RELEASE_SERIAL
Updated company name to "Digital Creations 2".
Copyright now lists Guido; "C in a circle" symbol used instead of (C).
Comments added so this is less likely to get flubbed again, and
#if/#error guys added to trigger if the version number manipulations
above overflow.

Change random.seed() so that it can get at the full range of possible

internal states. Put the old .seed() (which could only get at about
the square root of the # of possibilities) under the new name .whseed(),
for bit-level compatibility with older versions. This occurred to me
while reviewing effbot's book (he found himself stumbling over .seed()
more than once there ...).

Document the two changes to the mailbox.py module:
...
- All constructors grow an optional argument `factory' which is a
callable used when new message instances are created by the next()
methods. Defaults to the rfc822.Message class.
- A new subclass of UnixMailbox is added, called PortableUnixMailbox.
It's identical to UnixMailbox, but uses a more portable test for
From_ delimiter lines. With PortableUnixMailbox, any line that
starts with "From " is considered a delimiter (this should really
check for two newlines before the F, but it doesn't.

SF patch http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103453&group_id=5470
PyMember_Set of T_CHAR always raises exception.
Unfortunately, this is a use of a C API function that Python itself never makes, so
there's no .py test I can check in to verify this stays fixed. But the fault in the
code is obvious, and Dave Cole's patch just as obviously fixes it.

Fix bugs introduced by rewrite (in particular, time-based initialization

a semi-decent answer to how Python's RNGs can be used safely and efficiently

machinery!).

Reworked random.py so that it no longer depends on, and offers all the

random.py. New frequently-requested functions/methods getstate() and
setstate(). All exported functions are now bound methods of a hidden
instance. Killed all unintended exports. Updated the docs.
FRED: The more I fiddle the docs, the less I understand the exact
intended use of the \var, \code, \method tags. Please review critically.
GUIDO: See email. I updated NEWS as if whrandom were deprecated; I
think it should be.

Fred, THIS NEEDS DOCS! The function docstrings tell the tale.
...
Christmas present to myself: the bisect module didn't define what
happened if the new element was already in the list. It so happens
that it inserted the new element "to the right" of all equal elements.
Since it wasn't defined, among other bad implications it was a mystery
how to use bisect to determine whether an element was already in the
list (I've seen code that *assumed* "to the right" without justification).
Added new methods bisect_left and insort_left that insert "to the left"
instead; made the old names bisect and insort aliases for the new names
bisect_right and insort_right; beefed up docstrings to explain what
these actually do; and added a std test for the bisect module.

reverse() didn't work at all due to bad arg check.
Fixed that.
Added Brad Chapman to ACKS file, as the proud new owner of two
implicitly copyrighted lines of Python source code <wink>.
Repaired buffer_info's total lack of arg-checking.
Replaced memmove by memcpy in reverse() guts, as memmove is
often slower and the memory areas are guaranteed disjoint.
Replaced poke-and-hope unchecked decl of tmp buffer size by
assert-checked larger tmp buffer.
Got rid of inconsistent spaces before open paren in docstrings.
Added reverse() sanity tests to test_array.py.

This patch finalizes the move from UTF-8 to a default encoding in
...
the Python Unicode implementation.
The internal buffer used for implementing the buffer protocol
is renamed to defenc to make this change visible. It now holds the
default encoded version of the Unicode object and is calculated
on demand (NULL otherwise).
Since the default encoding defaults to ASCII, this will mean that
Unicode objects which hold non-ASCII characters will no longer
work on C APIs using the "s" or "t" parser markers. C APIs must now
explicitly provide Unicode support via the "u", "U" or "es"/"es#"
parser markers in order to work with non-ASCII Unicode strings.
(Note: this patch will also have to be applied to the 1.6 branch
of the CVS tree.)
