- setblocking(0) and settimeout(0) are now equivalent, and ditto for
  setblocking(1) and settimeout(None).

- Don't raise an exception from internal_select(); let the final call
  report the error (this means you will get an EAGAIN error instead of
  an ETIMEDOUT error -- I don't care).

- Move the select to inside the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS brackets,
  so other theads can run (this was a bug in the original code).

- Redid the retry logic in connect() and connect_ex() to avoid masking
  errors.  This probably doesn't work for Windows yet; I'll fix that
  next.  It may also fail on other platforms, depending on what
  retrying a connect does; I need help with this.

- Get rid of the retry logic in accept().  I don't think it was needed
  at all.  But I may be wrong.

Add a sleep (yuck!) to _testRecvFrom() so the server can set up first.

This was a simple typo.  Strange that the compiler didn't catch it!
Instead of WHY_CONTINUE, two tests used CONTINUE_LOOP, which isn't a
why_code at all, but an opcode; but even though 'why' is declared as
an enum, comparing it to an int is apparently not even worth a
warning -- not in gcc, and not in VC++. :-(

Will fix in 2.2 too.

somewhat spruced up and better tested than it was when I wrote it.

Includes docs & tests.  The whatsnew section needs expanding, and arrays
should support extended slices -- later.

transformed them into the initial_indent and subsequent_indent instance
attributes.  Now they actually work as advertised, ie. they are
accounted for in the width of each output line.  Plus you can use them
with wrap() as well as fill(), and fill() went from simple-and-broken to
trivial-and-working.

This is essentially the same problem as that reported in bug 494904
for pickle: deepcopy should treat instances of custom metaclasses the
same way it treats instances of type 'type'.

functions by going back to having them construct a new TextWrapper
instance on each call, with the preferred width passed to the
constructor.
