Mention deprecation of string exceptions

'%s' % u'x'  return a unicode object.

The interpreter doesn't crash, but it does call exit() in libncurses.
Add a note to this effect.

Will backport

HASTZINFO() macro.

Add the optional gain parameter and pass it to Tk.

When a module doesn't have a __path__ attribute, trigger a dialog box
rather than dumping a traceback to the console.

Synch to Python IDLE.

Closing an mmap'ed file (calling munmap) twice on Solaris caused a core dump.

M configHelpSourceEdit.py

1. Attach configHelpSourceEdit error dialogs to parent to avoid Tk root
   pop-ups.
2. Make configHelpSourceEdit OK button the default and bind <Return>.
3. Reformat configHelpSourceEdit.
4. ConfigDialog.SaveAllChangedConfig() had a bug which caused additional
   help sources to be deleted when other config items were changed.
4. Uniform capitalization in configDialog.
5. Update configDialog doc string.

hard code it.  We want this module to work with Python 2.1 for now.

parameter being either four or five.  Currently, compile.c does not
generate calls with a parameter higher than three.

May have to be reverted if the second alpha or beta shakes out some
other tool generating this op code with a parameter of four or five.

when a string exception is raised.  Note that raising string exceptions
is deprecated in an exception message.

Change a couple of list -> mylist

Clarified that not all types are included.  The OP was looking for a
StaticMethodType.

Also, added a note and example suggesting the use of int,str, etc.
instead of IntType, StrType, etc.

Renamed the crummy variable name in the example from "list" to "mylist".

2. Make sure that os.startfile() is used to open both Python help docs
   and Extra Help docs on the Windows platforms.

hoped it would be, but not too bad.  A test had to change:
time.__setstate__() can no longer add a non-None tzinfo member to a time
object that didn't already have one, since storage for a tzinfo member
doesn't exist in that case.

try it.

Replaced groups of pushes and pops with indexed access to the stack and
a single adjustment (if needed) to the stacklevel.

Avoids scores of unnecessary increments and decrements to the stackpointer.
Removes unnecessary sequential dependencies so that the compiler has more
freedom for optimizations.  Frees the processor for more parallel and
pipelined execution by using mostly read-only access and having few pointer
adjustments just prior to a read or write.
