Otherwise, the 2 devices seem to work the same for allocating a pseudo-tty.

Currently, test_pty hangs on AIX & HPUX if run after test_openpty.

except to avoid getpath.c giving unsollicited advice on stderr.

refactoring to get all the duplicates of this delicate code out of the
cPickle and struct modules.

pack_float, pack_double, save_float:  All the routines for creating
IEEE-format packed representations of floats and doubles simply ignored
that rounding can (in rare cases) propagate out of a long string of
1 bits.  At worst, the end-off carry can (by mistake) interfere with
the exponent value, and then unpacking yields a result wrong by a factor
of 2.  In less severe cases, it can end up losing more low-order bits
than intended, or fail to catch overflow *caused* by rounding.

Bugfix candidate, but I already backported this to 2.2.

In 2.3, this code remains in severe need of refactoring.

- use a TeX "tie" to prevent word-wrapping in "section x.y"-like text

- remove some extraneous paragraph separations
- \versionadded --> \versionchanged in one place

interpreter executions, would fail.

Now that information is stored into members of the PyInterpreterState

getlogin() can fail for too many reasons, so remove the test

plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages on MacOSX. Also tested for not having adverse
effects on Linux, and I think this code isn't used on Windows anyway.

Fixes #661521.
