  Do not copy free variables to locals in class namespaces.

  Fixes bug 1569356, but at the cost of a minor incompatibility in
  locals().  Add test that verifies that the class namespace is not
  polluted.  Also clarify the behavior in the library docs.

  Along the way, cleaned up the dict_to_map and map_to_dict
  implementations and added some comments that explain what they do.

  Add checking for a number of metaclass error conditions.

  We add some new rules that are required for preserving internal
  invariants of types.

  1.  If type (or a subclass of type) appears in bases, it must appear
      before any non-type bases.  If a non-type base (like a regular
      new-style class) occurred first, it could trick type into
      allocating the new class an __dict__ which must be impossible.

  2. There are several checks that are made of bases when creating a
     type.  Those checks are now repeated when assigning to __bases__.
     We also add the restriction that assignment to __bases__ may not
     change the metaclass of the type.

  Add new tests for these cases and for a few other oddball errors that
  were no previously tested.  Remove a crasher test that was fixed.

  Also some internal refactoring:  Extract the code to find the most
  derived metaclass of a type and its bases.  It is now needed in two
  places.  Rewrite the TypeError checks in test_descr to use doctest.
  The tests now clearly show what exception they expect to see.

  Introduce test.test_support.TransientResource.  It's a context manager to
  surround calls to resources that may or may not be available.  Specifying the
  expected exception and attributes to be raised if the resource is not available
  prevents overly broad catching of exceptions.

  This is meant to help suppress spurious failures by raising
  test.test_support.ResourceDenied if the exception matches.  It would probably
  be good to go through the various network tests and surround the calls to catch
  connection timeouts (as done with test_socket_ssl in this commit).

  This is the implementation of POSIX.1-2001 (pax) format read/write
  support.

  The TarInfo class now contains all necessary logic to process and
  create tar header data which has been moved there from the TarFile
  class. The fromtarfile() method was added. The new path and linkpath
  properties are aliases for the name and linkname attributes in
  correspondence to the pax naming scheme.

  The TarFile constructor and classmethods now accept a number of
  keyword arguments which could only be set as attributes before (e.g.
  dereference, ignore_zeros). The encoding and pax_headers arguments
  were added for pax support. There is a new tarinfo keyword argument
  that allows using subclassed TarInfo objects in TarFile.

  The boolean TarFile.posix attribute is deprecated, because now three
  tar formats are supported. Instead, the desired format for writing is
  specified using the constants USTAR_FORMAT, GNU_FORMAT and PAX_FORMAT
  as the format keyword argument. This change affects TarInfo.tobuf()
  as well.

  The test suite has been heavily reorganized and partially rewritten.
  A new testtar.tar was added that contains sample data in many formats
  from 4 different tar programs.

  Some bugs and quirks that also have been fixed:
  Directory names do no longer have a trailing slash in TarInfo.name or
  TarFile.getnames().
  Adding the same file twice does not create a hardlink file member.
  The TarFile constructor does no longer need a name argument.
  The TarFile._mode attribute was renamed to mode and contains either
  'r', 'w' or 'a'.

  The buildbots will tell us if things improve or not.  I don't

  - Bug #1683368: The object.__init__() and object.__new__() methods are
    now stricter in rejecting excess arguments.  The only time when
    either allows excess arguments is when it is not overridden and the
    other one is.  For backwards compatibility, when both are
    overridden, it is a deprecation warning (for now; maybe a Py3k
    warning later).

  When merging this into 3.0, the warnings should become errors.

  Note: without the change to string.py, lots of spurious warnings happen.
  What's going on there?

  SF #1685563, MSVCCompiler creates redundant and long PATH strings

  If MSVCCompiler.initialize() was called multiple times, the path
  would get duplicated.  On Windows, this is a problem because the
  path is limited to 4k.  There's no benefit in adding a path multiple
  times, so prevent that from occuring.  We also normalize the path
  before checking for duplicates so things like /a and /a/ won't both
  be stored.

  time.strptime's caching of its locale object was being recreated when the

  was tested by the OP (#1290505).  Once the buildbots verify the test at least

Python standard documentation -- in LaTeX
-----------------------------------------

This directory contains the LaTeX sources to the Python documentation
and tools required to support the formatting process.  The documents
now require LaTeX2e; LaTeX 2.09 compatibility has been dropped.

If you don't have LaTeX, or if you'd rather not format the
documentation yourself, you can ftp a tar file containing HTML, PDF,
or PostScript versions of all documents.  Additional formats may be
available.  These should be in the same place where you fetched the
main Python distribution (try <http://www.python.org/> or
<ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/>).

The following are the LaTeX source files:

	api/*.tex	Python/C API Reference Manual
	doc/*.tex	Documenting Python
	ext/*.tex	Extending and Embedding the Python Interpreter
	lib/*.tex	Python Library Reference
	mac/*.tex	Macintosh Library Modules
	ref/*.tex	Python Reference Manual
	tut/*.tex	Python Tutorial
        inst/*.tex      Installing Python Modules
        dist/*.tex      Distributing Python Modules

Most use the "manual" document class and "python" package, derived from 
the old "myformat.sty" style file.  The Macintosh Library Modules
document uses the "howto" document class instead.  These contains many
macro definitions useful in documenting Python, and set some style
parameters.

There's a Makefile to call LaTeX and the other utilities in the right
order and the right number of times.  By default, it will build the
HTML version of the documentation, but DVI, PDF, and PostScript can
also be made.  To view the generated HTML, point your favorite browser
at the top-level index (html/index.html) after running "make".

The Makefile can also produce DVI files for each document made; to
preview them, use xdvi.  PostScript is produced by the same Makefile
target that produces the DVI files.  This uses the dvips tool.
Printing depends on local conventions; at our site, we use lpr.  For
example:

	make paper-letter/lib.ps	# create lib.dvi and lib.ps
	xdvi paper-letter/lib.dvi	# preview lib.dvi
	lpr paper-letter/lib.ps		# print on default printer


What if I find a bug?
---------------------

First, check that the bug is present in the development version of the
documentation at <http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/>; we may
have already fixed it.

If we haven't, tell us about it.  We'd like the documentation to be
complete and accurate, but have limited time.  If you discover any
inconsistencies between the documentation and implementation, or just
have suggestions as to how to improve the documentation, let is know!
Specific bugs and patches should be reported using our bug & patch
databases at:

	http://sourceforge.net/projects/python

Other suggestions or questions should be sent to the Python
Documentation Team:

	docs@python.org

Thanks!


What tools do I need?
---------------------

You need to install Python; some of the scripts used to produce the
documentation are written in Python.  You don't need this
documentation to install Python; instructions are included in the
README file in the Python distribution.

The simplest way to get the rest of the tools in the configuration we
used is to install the teTeX TeX distribution, versions 0.9 or newer.
More information is available on teTeX at <http://www.tug.org/tetex/>.
This is a Unix-only TeX distribution at this time.  This documentation
release was tested with the 1.0.7 release, but there have been no
substantial changes since late in the 0.9 series, which we used
extensively for previous versions without any difficulty.

If you don't want to get teTeX, here is what you'll need:

To create DVI, PDF, or PostScript files:

	- LaTeX2e, 1995/12/01 or newer.  Older versions are likely to 
	  choke.

	- makeindex.  This is used to produce the indexes for the
	  library reference and Python/C API reference.

To create PDF files:

	- pdflatex.  We used the one in the teTeX distribution (pdfTeX
          version 3.14159-13d (Web2C 7.3.1) at the time of this
          writing).  Versions even a couple of patchlevels earlier are
          highly likely to fail due to syntax changes for some of the
          pdftex primitives.

To create PostScript files:

	- dvips.  Most TeX installations include this.  If you don't
	  have one, check CTAN (<ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/>).

To create info files:

	Note that info support is currently being revised using new
	conversion tools by Michael Ernst <mernst@cs.washington.edu>.

	- makeinfo.  This is available from any GNU mirror.

	- emacs or xemacs.  Emacs is available from the same place as
	  makeinfo, and xemacs is available from ftp.xemacs.org.

	- Perl.  Find the software at
	  <http://language.perl.com/info/software.html>.

	- HTML::Element.  If you don't have this installed, you can get
	  this from CPAN.  Use the command:

	  perl -e 'use CPAN; CPAN::install("HTML::Element");'

	  You may need to be root to do this.

To create HTML files:

	- Perl 5.6.0 or newer.  Find the software at
	  <http://language.perl.com/info/software.html>.

	- LaTeX2HTML 99.2b8 or newer.  Older versions are not
	  supported; each version changes enough that supporting
	  multiple versions is not likely to work.  Many older
	  versions don't work with Perl 5.6 as well.  This also screws
	  up code fragments.  ;-(  Releases are available at:
	  <http://www.latex2html.org/>.


I got a make error: "make: don't know how to make commontex/patchlevel.tex."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your version of make doesn't support the 'shell' function.  You will need to
use a version which does, e.g. GNU make.


LaTeX (or pdfLaTeX) ran out of memory; how can I fix it?
--------------------------------------------------------

This is known to be a problem at least on Mac OS X, but it has been
observed on other systems in the past.

On some systems, the default sizes of some of the memory pools
allocated by TeX needs to be changed; this is a configuration setting
for installations based on web2c (most if not all installations).
This is usually set in a file named texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf (where the
top-level texmf/ directory is part of the TeX installation).  If you
get a "buffer overflow" warning from LaTeX, open that configuration
file and look for the "main_memory.pdflatex" setting.  If there is not
one, you can add a line with the setting.  The value 1500000 seems to
be sufficient for formatting the Python documetantion.


What if Times fonts are not available?
--------------------------------------

As distributed, the LaTeX documents use PostScript Times fonts.  This
is done since they are much better looking and produce smaller
PostScript files.  If, however, your TeX installation does not support
them, they may be easily disabled.  Edit the file
texinputs/pypaper.sty and comment out the line that starts
"\RequirePackage{times}" by inserting a "%" character at the beginning
of the line.  If you're formatting the docs for A4 paper instead of
US-Letter paper, change paper-a4/pypaper.sty instead.  An alternative
is to install the right fonts and LaTeX style file.


What if I want to use A4 paper?
-------------------------------

Instead of building the PostScript by giving the command "make ps",
give the command "make PAPER=a4 ps"; the output will be produced in
the paper-a4/ subdirectory.  (You can use "make PAPER=a4 pdf" if you'd
rather have PDF output.)


Making HTML files
-----------------

The LaTeX documents can be converted to HTML using Nikos Drakos'
LaTeX2HTML converter.  See the Makefile; after some twiddling, "make"
should do the trick.


What else is in here?
---------------------

There is a new LaTeX document class called "howto".  This is used for
the new series of Python HOWTO documents which is being coordinated by
Andrew Kuchling <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>.  The file
templates/howto.tex is a commented example which may be used as a
template.  A Python script to "do the right thing" to format a howto
document is included as tools/mkhowto.  These documents can be
formatted as HTML, PDF, PostScript, or ASCII files.  Use "mkhowto
--help" for information on using the formatting tool.

For authors of module documentation, there is a file
templates/module.tex which may be used as a template for a module
section.  This may be used in conjunction with either the howto or
manual document class.  Create the documentation for a new module by
copying the template to lib<mymodule>.tex and editing according to the 
instructions in the comments.

Documentation on the authoring Python documentation, including
information about both style and markup, is available in the
"Documenting Python" manual.
