This is probably a little bit faster, but mostly is just cleaner code.
The old-style support is still used for Python versions < 2.2 so this
source file can be shared with PyXML.

    every time this gets called; move it out as a global helper function.
    Simplify the call to the _dispatch() method of the registered instance.

never been true, and in particular implies cmp() can't be used(!).  Get
closer to the truth.

rewrite the code a bit to avoid calling the same slot more than once.

Jeremy had seen the warning but not realized what he should do about
it.  Add the hint "Usually, copying Setup.dist to Setup will work."

staticness when __dynamic__ = 1 becomes the default:

- Some classes which are used to test the difference between static
  and dynamic.

- Subclasses of complex: complex uses old-style numbers and the slot
  wrappers used by dynamic classes only support new-style numbers.
  (Ideally, the complex type should be fixed, but that looks like a
  labor-intensive job.)

__rop__ now takes precendence over __op__.  Those circumstances are:

  - Both arguments are new-style classes
  - Both arguments are new-style numbers
  - Their implementation slots for tp_op differ
  - Their types differ
  - The right argument's type is a subtype of the left argument's type

Also did this for the ternary operator (pow) -- only the binary case
is dealt with properly though, since __rpow__ is not supported anyway.

in bizarre outcomes.  Test forthcoming.

Add entry for the SimpleXMLRPCServer module.

Bump version number.

NodeList interface.

Clean up a little; do not create an alias that is only used once, or store
attributes with constant values in an instance.

 error-reporting for the classic compare-expected-output tests.
Curiously, the bug consisted of not simplifying the logic enough!

#424002.

Refactor init_path_from_argv0() and rename to copy_absolute(); add
absolutize() which does the same in-place.

Clean up whitespace (leading tabs -> spaces, delete trailing
spaces/tabs).

depending on the cycle detector code in the library implementation.
This is a *slightly* different patch than SF patch #417795, but takes
the same approach.  (This version avoids calling the __len__() method of
the dict in the remove() functions.)
This closes SF patch #417795.

rigmarole of __reduce__.

fallback for objects that are neither supported by our dispatch table
nor have a __copy__ or __deepcopy__ method.

Changes to _reduce() in copy_reg.py to support reducing objects that
don't have a __dict__ -- copy.copy(complex()) now invokes _reduce().

Add tests for copy.copy() and copy.deepcopy() to test_regrtest.py.

PY_VERSION => "2.2a4+"

For the real document element, make sure the prolog is migrated into
the document element so it isn't left stranded.

Make fixup_trailing_whitespace() whitespace do what was really intended.

Add the *desc environments used in the C API manual to the list of
things that can exist at the paragraph level so they don't get wrapped
in <para>...</para>.

(string.join() lives!)

This fixes SF bug #465447.

This fixes SF bug #463330.

Apply patch from "china@thewrittenword.com" to put the correct
