thought was just a bug report, so didn't notice - doh!).  This handles
slicing, which v 1.23 didn't.

Skip test_longexp for MacPython on Mac OS X. It triggers a pathological realloc slowdown. Some tests with shorter expressions lead me to the conclusion that it will eventually finish, but it may take a few weeks:-)

If no webbrowsers were found _tryorder would be empty, cmd would never be set and the "del cmd" would fail. Fixed.

This was pretty dense of me.  Sorry.

particular, negative indexes work and they are limited by the actual length
of the names they represent (weekday and month names).  This closes bug
#503202.

As promised in my response to the bug report, I'm not really fixing
it; in fact, one could argule over what the proper fix should do.
Instead, I'm adding a little magic that raises TypeError if you try to
pickle an instance of a class that has __slots__ but doesn't define or
override __getstate__.  This is done by adding a bozo __getstate__
that always raises TypeError.

Bugfix candidate (also the checkin to typeobject.c, of course).

a bad idea).

There were several places that assumed the md_dict field was always
set, but it needn't be.  Fixed these to be more careful.

I changed PyModule_GetDict() to initialize md_dict to a new dictionary
if it's NULL.

long double into objimpl.h (rev. 2.44) is backported to 2.2.1).

and (b) stop trying to prevent file growth.

Beef up the file.truncate() docs.

Change test_largefile.py to stop assuming that f.truncate() moves the
file pointer to the truncation point, and to verify instead that it leaves
the file position alone.  Remove the test for what happens when a
specified size exceeds the original file size (it's ill-defined, according
to the Single Unix Spec).

tabs they must remain a fixed size in idle
