The tests don’t use an internal distutils function anymore, and use
regular assertEqual with sorted lists instead of a convoluted manual
diff.

  Fix one of the tests: it relied on being present in an "output test" in
  order to actually test what it was supposed to test, i.e. that the code
  in the __del__ method did not crash.  Use instead the new helper
  test_support.captured_output().

No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch.  The most obvious changes:

  - str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
  - bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
  - PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.

I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.

The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like.  Some changes are still on the to-do list.

Code that has been returning str8 becomes much more apparent thanks to this
(e.g., struct module returning str8 for all string-related formats or sqlite3
passing in str8 instances when converting objects that had a __conform__
method).  One also has to watch out in C code when making a key from char *
using PyString in the C code but a str instance in Python code as that will not
longer compare equal.

Once str8 gains a constructor like the current bytes type then
test_modulefinder needs a cleanup as the fix is a little messy in that file.

Thanks goes to Thomas Lee for writing the patch for the change giving an
initial run-down of why most of the tests were failing.

Make PyString's indexing and iteration return integers.
(I changed a few of Alexandre's decisions -- GvR.)

There's one major and one minor category still unfixed:
doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the
refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon);
other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category.

(Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)

(a) "except E, V" -> "except E as V"
(b) V is now limited to a simple name (local variable)
(c) V is now deleted at the end of the except block

Not all code has been fixed yet; this is just a checkpoint...
The C API still has PyDict_HasKey() and _HasKeyString(); not sure
if I want to change those just yet.

Already backported to release23-maint.

From SF patch #852334.

The find_all_submodules() method in modulefinder only
looks for *.py, *.pyc, and *.pyo files.  Python
extension modules are only found if they are referenced
in import statements somewhere.

This patch uses the actual list from imp.get_suffixes().

Backported myself.

in packages correctly.

any_missing() returns less bogus missing modules.

- I've rewritten scan_code() more or less from scratch,
factored bits and pieces out for readability.
- keep track of global assignments and failed imports per
module; use this to determine whether the Y in "from X
import Y" is a submodule or just a global name. This is not
100% doable: you can't tell which symbols are imported when
doing a star import of a non-Python module short of actually
importing it.
- added a new method to ModuleFinder: any_missing_maybe(),
which returns *two* lists, one with certain misses, one with
possible misses. The possible misses are *very* often false
alarms, so it's useful to keep this list separate.
any_misses() now simply returns the union of
any_missing_maybe().

TODO: documentation, test_modulefinder.py

Mark writes in private email:

  "Modules listed in the registry was a dumb idea.  This whole scheme
  can die.  AFAIK, no one in the world uses it (including win32all
  since the last build)."

(See also SF #643711)

per PEP 291 (although there are currently string methods used).

This patch makes it compatible with 2.2, at least, by detecting
universal newline support.

Fixes SF # 637835.

Use universal newline support when opening a file for freezing.

Pass co_freevars and co_cellvars to new.code().
Will backport.

(with one small bugfix in bgen/bgen/scantools.py)

This replaces string module functions with string methods
for the stuff in the Tools directory. Several uses of
string.letters etc. are still remaining.

Fixes SF 564840.

(With slight cosmetic improvements to shorten lines and a grammar fix
to a docstring.)

This addes -X and -E options to freeze.  From the docstring:

-X module     Like -x, except the module can never be imported by
              the frozen binary.

-E:           Freeze will fail if any modules can't be found (that
              were not excluded using -x or -X).
