UTF-16 codec will now interpret and remove a *leading* BOM mark. Sub-
sequent BOM characters are no longer interpreted and removed.
UTF-16-LE and -BE pass through all BOM mark characters.

These changes should get the UTF-16 codec more in line with what
the Unicode FAQ recommends w/r to BOM marks.

for the Maildir mailbox format.  This still does not address other mailbox
formats.

basically accept <!...> where the dots can be single- or double-quoted
strings or any other character except >.

Also, fixes a problem with duplicate entries.

floating point numbers in an interactive example.


Added comment to help explain control flow in the example code showing
how to check if a number is prime.

This closes SF bugs 419434 and 424552.

This closes SF bug #425320.

Mark Hammond claimed that the iterized filter() forgot to decref the
iterator upon return.  He was right!

but doing so raised EOFError.  This makes it work as advertised and
converts to string methods where reasonable.

This closes SF bug #424776.

Generate prototype-style function headers in stead of K&R style. Makes life easier with gcc -Wstrict-function-prototypes.

now appears to work.

Test for TARGET_API_MAC_OS8 in stead of !TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON where
appropriate.

Two exceedingly unlikely errors in dictresize():
1. The loop for finding the new size had an off-by-one error at the
   end (could over-index the polys[] vector).
2. The polys[] vector ended with a 0, apparently intended as a sentinel
   value but never used as such; i.e., it was never checked, so 0 could
   have been used *as* a polynomial.
Neither bug could trigger unless a dict grew to 2**30 slots; since that
would consume at least 12GB of memory just to hold the dict pointers,
I'm betting it's not the cause of the bug Fred's tracking down <wink>.

    PyTuple_GetItem() with PyTuple_GET_SIZE() and PyTuple_GET_ITEM().
    The code has already done a PyTuple_Check().

If we have a PyCFunction (builtin) and it is METH_VARARGS only, load
the args and dispatch to call_cfunction() directly.  This provides a
small speedup for perhaps the most common function calls -- builtins.

TAL/PageTemplate package for Zope.  This only needed a little boilerplate
change; the tests themselves are unchanged.

derived from but not quite compatible with that of sgmllib, so it's a
new file.  I suppose it needs documentation, and htmllib needs to be
changed to use this instead of sgmllib, and sgmllib needs to be
declared obsolete.  But that can all be done later.

This code was first published as part of TAL (part of Zope Page
Templates), but that was strongly based on sgmllib anyway.  Authors
are Fred drake and Guido van Rossum.

in the comments for using two passes was bogus, as the only object that
can get decref'ed due to the copy is the dummy key, and decref'ing dummy
can't have side effects (for one thing, dummy is immortal!  for another,
it's a string object, not a potentially dangerous user-defined object).

Dynamically loaded toolbox modules don't need to link against each other anymore, due to the new glue code that ties them together.

Glue code to connect obj_New and obj_Convert routines (the PyArg_Parse and Py_BuildTuple helpers) from one dynamically imported module to another.

First step in porting MacPython modules to OSX/unix: break all references between modules except for the obj_New() and obj_Convert() routines, the PyArg_Parse and Py_BuildValue helpers.

And these can now be vectored through glue routines (by defining USE_TOOLBOX_OBJECT_GLUE) which will do the necessary imports, whereupon the module's init routine will tell the glue routine about the real conversion routine address and everything is fine again.

but it still can't have any syntax errors.  Went a little too fast
there, Jack? :-)

Made distutils understand the MacPython Carbon runtime model. Distutils will build for the runtime model you are currently using for the interpreter.

exist in latin1, but at least the roundtrip results in the
same macroman characters.

Fixed macroman<->latin1 conversion. Some characters don't exist in latin1, but at least the roundtrip gives
the correct macroman characters again.
