Sjoerd Mullender's parseaddr()

the writing of filters.

Typical use is:

    import fileinput
    for line in fileinput.input():
        process(line)

This iterates over the lines of all files listed in sys.argv[1:],
defaulting to sys.stdin if the list is empty or when a filename is
'-'.

There is also an option to use this to direct the output back to the
input files.

format(), str(), atof(), and atoi().  The last three are locale
sensitive versions of the corresponding standard functions (only for
numbers though); format() does general %[efg] formatting taking the
locale into account, optionally with thousands grouping.

This is a bit of a hack: when the shared library is loaded, the module
name is "package.module", but the module calls Py_InitModule*() with just
"module" for the name.  The shared library loader squirrels away the true
name of the module in _Py_PackageContext, and Py_InitModule*() will
substitute this (if the name actually matches).

of shared libraries from inside packages.

1) The __builtins__ variable in the __main__ module is set to the
__builtin__ module instead of its __dict__.

2) Get rid of the SIGHUP and SIGTERM handlers.  They can't be made to
work reliably when threads may be in use, they are Unix specific, and
Python programmers can now program this functionality is a safer way
using the signal module.

PyNumber_Coerce() except that when the coercion can't be done and no
other exceptions happen, it returns 1 instead of raising an
exception.

Use this function in PyObject_Compare() to avoid raising an exception
simply because two objects with numeric behavior can't be coerced to a
common type; instead, proceed with the non-numeric default comparison.

Note that this is a somewhat questionable practice -- comparisons for
numeric objects shouldn't default to random behavior like this, but it
is required for backward compatibility.  (Case in point, it broke
comparison of kjDict objects to integers in Aaron Watters' kjbuckets
extension.)  A correct fix (for python 2.0) should involve a different
definiton of comparison altogether.

'PyNumber_Coerce'.  Rename them back to coercefunc.
