about potential data loss otherwise.

bug 628246]

  Fixed by catching all exceptions that are subclasses of DistutilsError,
  so only the error message will be printed.  You can still get the
  whole traceback by enabling the Distutils debugging mode.

[ 631276 ] Exceptions raised by line trace function

It conflicted with the patches from Armin I just checked it, so I had
to so some bits by hand.

These are forward ports from 2.2.2.

instead of into a list for a bit of speed/space savings.  Reopened the
bug report too (628246), as I'm unclear on why we don't sort out the
cause of the TypeError instead.

The _update method detected mutable elements by trapping TypeErrors.
Unfortunately, this masked useful TypeErrors raised by the iterable
itself.  For cases where it is possible for an iterable to raise
a TypeError, the iterable is pre-converted to a list outside the
try/except so that any TypeErrors propagate through.

dialogs are now stored in Mac/Lib, and loaded on demand through macresource.
Not only does this simplify a MacPython based on Apple's Python, but
it also makes Mac error codes come out symbolically when running command
line python (if you have Mac/Lib in your path).

The resource files are copied from Mac/Resources. The old ones will disappear
after the OS9 build procedure has been adjusted.

The errors attribute can be changed after the reader/writer
is created.

For encoding there are two additional errors values:
"xmlcharrefreplace" and "backslashreplace".

These values can be extended via register_error().

get_special_folder_path raises OSError, "function not available".

(Hope the markup is ok).

This bug happened because: 1) the scanner_search and scanner_match methods
were not checking the buffer limits before increasing the current pointer;
and 2) SRE_SEARCH was using "if (ptr == end)" as a loop break, instead of
"if (ptr >= end)".

* Modules/_sre.c
  (SRE_SEARCH): Check for "ptr >= end" to break loops, so that we don't
  hang forever if a pointer passing the buffer limit is used.
  (scanner_search,scanner_match): Don't increment the current pointer
  if we're going to pass the buffer limit.

This closes SF bug #634246.

Also remove the 512 character limitation for int(u"...") and long(u"...").

This closes SF bug #629989.

Fixes a test failure on 64 bit platforms (I hope).
