raises an exception.

    class RunSelfFunction(object):
        def __init__(self):
            self.thread = threading.Thread(target=self._run)
            self.thread.start()
        def _run(self):
            pass
from creating a permanent cycle between the object and the thread by having the
Thread delete its references to the object when it completes.

As an example of the effect of this bug, paramiko.Transport inherits from
Thread to avoid it.

Permission for pyc and pyo files are inherited from the py file.

Fix by Malte Helmert

Remove automatic handling of datetime.date and datetime.time.
This breaks backward compatibility, but python-dev discussion was strongly
against this automatic conversion; see the bug for a link.

Call setupterm() first so that we get a Python exception instead of just existing.

wrapper around the system call with the same name.  Also added
test cases, doc changes and NEWS entry. Thanks Jason and Ralf
Schmitt.

DEFAULT section any more, because it duplicated sections with
the rest of the machinery. Thanks Tim Lesher and Manuel Kaufmann.

Thanks Alan McIntyre.

a test for this (and because of this test you'll see in stderr a
message that parser.c sends before raising MemoryError).
Thanks Ralf Schmitt.

* Fix-up issues pointed-out by Neal Norwitz.
* Add extensive comments.
* The lz->result variable is now a tuple instead of a list.
* Use fast macro getitem/setitem calls so most code is in-line.
* Re-use the result tuple if available (modify in-place instead of copy).

Added bin() builtin.  I'm going to check in the tests in a seperate checkin, because the builtin doesn't need to be ported to py3k, but the tests are missing in py3k and need to be merged there.

Try to make command line error messages from runpy easier to understand (and suppress traceback cruft from the implicitly invoked runpy machinery)
