makes the float constructor behave in the same way as specified
by various other language standards, including C99, IEEE 754r,
and the IBM Decimal standard.
Also fixes
- Issue #1526: Allow more than 64k files to be added to Zip64 file.
- Issue #1746: Correct handling of zipfile archive comments (previously
archives with comments over 4k were flagged as invalid). Allow writing
Zip files with archives by setting the 'comment' attribute of a ZipFile.
that the behaviour of Decimal doesn't change if/when re.UNICODE becomes
assumed in Python 3.0.
Also add a check that alternative Unicode digits (e.g. u'\N{FULLWIDTH
DIGIT ONE}') are *not* accepted in a numeric string.
* Deprecate urllib.urlopen() in favor of urllib2.urlopen() for 3.0.
* Update docs to mention split/rename of the module and deprecation of
urlopen().
Changes to lib2to3 are in a separate commit. Work is for issue #2885.
When a thread touches such an object for the first time, a new thread-local __dict__ is created,
and the __init__ method is run.
But a thread switch can occur here; if the other thread touches the same object, it installs another
__dict__; when the first thread resumes, it updates the dictionary of the second...
This is the deep cause of the failures in test_multiprocessing involving "managers" objects.
Also a 2.5 backport candidate.
FreeBSD's P1003.1b semaphore support is highly experimental and
it's disabled by default. Even if a user loads the experimental
kernel module manually, _multiprocessing doesn't work correctly due
to several known incompatibilities around sem_unlink and sem_getvalue,
yet.

Initial commit of work pertaining to switching the Windows build from Berkeley DB 4.4.20 to 4.7.25. Note that I've deprecated the standalone '_bsddb44.vcproj' in lieu of adding the sources in a separate folder to the _bsddb project. This was a conscious decision and actually makes everything far more easier to manage. With this approach, entire test suite passed straight off the bat. Well, almost -- the timeout in bsddb/test/test_replication.py needed bumping up a little -- 2 seconds was too short. 10 seconds seems to be fine for me, but I'll make sure Jesus verifies. More documentation to come once I've been able to test out this approach on the buildbots (hence keeping the changes in a separate branch for now).
