Backport candidate?

attribute of an empty cell object.  Now a ValueError is raised.

I've finished the last task for the PCbuild9 directory today. I don't think there is much left to do. Now you can all play around with the shiny new VS 2008 and try the PGO builds. I was able to get a speed improvement of about 10% on py3k.
Have fun! :)

With some changes of my own thrown in (e.g. backport of r58107).

Solves issue1460.

Might not be a backport candidate: a new API function was added,
and some code may rely on details in utf-7.py.

cycle before the tests...). Sorry.

as usual with slicing (both with str and unicode strings).  This
fixes issue 1259.

For str only the stringobject.c file was modified.  But for unicode,
I needed to repeat in the four functions a lot of code, so created
a new function that does part of the job for them (and placed it in
find.h, following a suggestion of Barry).

Also added tests for this behaviour.

Guido prefers _x over __x.

used as decorators to create fully-populated properties.

also hex escapes) -- this was reaching beyond the end of the input string
buffer, even though it is not supposed to be \0-terminated.
This has no visible effect but is clearly the correct thing to do.
(In 3.0 it had a visible effect after removing ob_sstate from PyString.)

Introduce overflow checking into list_inplace_repeat.

Backport candidate, possibly.

Just move over to the public API names.

Closes issue1238.

All this code already exists above starting at line 653.

enumerate() is no longer bounded to using sequences shorter than LONG_MAX.  The possibility of overflow was sending some newsgroup posters into a tizzy.

don't worry about any self-referring tuples.

Python code; but it is possible from C.  object.__str__ had the issue of not
expecting a type to doing something within it's tp_str implementation that
could trigger an infinite recursion, but it could in C code..  Both found
thanks to BaseException and how it handles its repr.

Closes issue #1686386.  Thanks to Thomas Herve for taking an initial stab at
coming up with a solution.

Make tell() mark CRLF as a newline.
With unit test.

predictable to being completely predictable.  The value of hash(n)
is unchanged for any n that's small enough to be representable as an
int, and also unchanged for the vast majority of long integers n of
reasonable size.

PyObject_Print().

Closes issue #1164.

no-no.

Fixes issue #1147.  Need to fix 2.5 to raise a proper warning if a string
exception is passed in.

Backport abc.py and isinstance/issubclass overloading to 2.6.

I had to backport test_typechecks.py myself, and make one small change
to abc.py to avoid duplicate work when x.__class__ and type(x) are the
same.

Closes issue #1096.

ever going back out to Python code in PyObject_Call().  Required introducing a
static RuntimeError instance so that normalizing an exception there is no
reliance on a recursive call that would put the exception system over the
recursion check itself.

 - Specialcase extended slices that amount to a shallow copy the same way as
   is done for simple slices, in the tuple, string and unicode case.

 - Specialcase step-1 extended slices to optimize the common case for all
   involved types.

 - For lists, allow extended slice assignment of differing lengths as long
   as the step is 1. (Previously, 'l[:2:1] = []' failed even though
   'l[:2] = []' and 'l[:2:None] = []' do not.)

 - Implement extended slicing for buffer, array, structseq, mmap and
   UserString.UserString.

 - Implement slice-object support (but not non-step-1 slice assignment) for
   UserString.MutableString.

 - Add tests for all new functionality.
