  Newer autoconf versions (from 2.60) want a 'datarootdir' definition in
  (Make-)files that use mandir (and other data directory macros).

  This patch solves a warning during configure, specifically:

  ...
  config.status: creating Makefile.pre
  config.status: WARNING:  ../Makefile.pre.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
  ...

  Change socket.error to inherit from IOError rather than being a stand
  alone class.  This addresses the primary concern in

   http://bugs.python.org/issue1706815

  python-dev discussion here:

   http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-July/073749.html

  I chose IOError rather than EnvironmentError as the base class since
  socket objects are often used as transparent duck typed file objects
  in code already prepared to deal with IOError exceptions.

  also a minor fix:

   urllib2 - fix a couple places where IOError was raised rather than URLError.
             for better or worse, URLError already inherits from IOError so
             this won't break any existing code.

   test_urllib2net - replace bad ftp urls.

  tr a-z A-Z does not work on Solaris (would require
  /usr/xpg4/bin/tr); make the character ranges explicit.

README

This directory contains a number of Python programs that are useful
while building or extending Python.

audiopy		Audiopy is a program to control the Solaris audio
		device, allowing you to choose both the input and
		output devices, and to set the output volume, that can
		be run either as a command-line script, or as a
		Tkinter application.

bgen		Generate complete extension modules from a
		description.  Still under development!

compiler	Tools used to maintain the compiler package in the
		standard library.

faqwiz		FAQ Wizard.
		See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw.py
		for a live example.

freeze		Create a stand-alone executable from a Python program.

i18n		Tools for internationalization. pygettext.py 
		parses Python source code and generates .pot files,
		and msgfmt.py generates a binary message catalog 
		from a catalog in text format.

modulator	Interactively generate boiler plate for an extension
		module.	 Works easiest if you have Tk.

pynche		A Tkinter-based color editor.

scripts		A number of useful single-file programs, e.g. tabnanny.py
		(by Tim Peters), which checks for inconsistent mixing
		of tabs and spaces.

unicode		Tools used to generate unicode database files for
		Python 2.0 (by Fredrik Lundh).

versioncheck	A tool to automate checking whether you have the latest
		version of a package (by Jack Jansen).

webchecker	A link checker for web sites.

world		Script to take a list of Internet addresses and print
		out where in the world those addresses originate from,
		based on the top-level domain country code found in
		the address.
