for both PyList_GET_SIZE and PyList_GET_ITEM, cast first argument to a
PyListObject*

	- 'delete' is a C++ keyword; use 'del_table' instead
	- apply Py_CHARMASK() to del_table[i] before using it as an index
	  *** this fixes a bug that was just reported on the list ***
	- if the translation didn't make any changes, INCREF and return
	  the original string
	- when del_table is empty or omitted, don't copy the translation
	  table to a table of ints (should be a bit faster)

Rewrote maketrans() to avoid copying the table (2-3% faster).

performance hit.  Urg.  Reverted.

strop_joinfields(): re-instate optimizations for lists and tuples, but
support arbitrary other kinds of sequences as well.

- When dragging the mouse in either listbox, the *first* entry
clicked on is selected rather than the last (but the last one is
highlighted).

This is done by changing the bindtags so that our binding is executed
after the default binding (which sets the 'active' index to the last
item selected), and using 'active' instead of 'anchor' as the index to
ask for.

and all it's attributes.  More comprehensive examples can be found in
Demo/cd and require that you have a CD and a CD ROM drive

- split_whitespace(): slightly better memory ref handling when errors
  occur.

- strop_joinfields(): First argument can now be any sequence-protocol
  conformant object.

- strop_find(), strop_rfind(): Use PyArg_ParseTuple for optional
  arguments

- strop_lower(), strop_upper(): Factor logic into a common function
  do_casechange().

- strop_atoi(), strop_atol(): Use PyArg_ParseTuple.

- strop_maketrans(): arguments used to be optional, although the
  documentation doesn't reflect this.  Make the source conform to the
  docs.  Arguments are required, but two empty strings will return the
  identity translation table.

- General pass fixing up formatting, and checking for return values.

Raise ImportError instead of SystemExit when $DISPLAY is not set, so
regrtest.py will do the right thing.

Add a call to gl.clear() to clear the window before drawing in it.

Add some verbose prints for completeness.

Use gl.v2i() for the coordinates of one of the lines, for a little bit
of variety.

Reduce the time the window is displayed from 5 to 2 seconds.

recent changes in the struct module).

int/long types, and use the new PyLong_FromUnsignedLong() and
PyLong_AsUnsignedLong() interfaces instead.

Semantic change: the 'I' format will now always return a long int.

when $(srcdir) isn't '.', i.e. when using VPATH).

Rewrite example to be an interactive session

- Conform to standard Python C coding styles.

- All static symbols were renamed and shorted.

- Eyeballed all return values and memory references.

- Fixed a bug in signal.pause() so that exceptions raised in signal
  handlers are now properly caught after pause() returns.

- Removed SIGCPU and SIGFSZ.  We surmise that these were typos for the
  previously missing SIGXCPU and SIGXFSZ.

Still don't know what to do with Inf/NaN, so I raise an exception on
pack(), and something random decided by ldexp() will happen on
unpack().

data formats.  The _xdr module is no longer used, since struct
supports the required IEEE floats and doubles.

(I have one doubt about not using _xdr.  The struct module doesn't
handle Inf, NaN and gradual underflow correctly.  If the _xdr module
does these things better, it may still have a (small) competitive
advantage.  On the other hand, since not all platforms support IEEE
floating point, it's not clear that it would be a good idea to ever
transfer Inf or NaNs.  Gradual underflow can be fixed in the struct
module.

These use the ANSI/IEEE standard, which is also used by XDR;
so the _xdr module may become obsolete.
