been increased from 100 to 500 and the cache replacement policy has changed
from simply clearing the entire cache on overflow to randomly forgetting 20%

win for applications that use a lot of regular expressions and limits the
impact of the performance hit anytime the cache is exceeded.

Changes include using a list of lines instead of patching together using
string interpolation, and a multi-line value test cases.

test_profilehooks to test_sys_setprofile so that test_trace can be
used for testing the trace module and for naming consistency.

test_sys_settrace and test_profilehooks to test_sys_setprofile in all

assumes that the result of getgroups and the output

order.  That assumption is both fragile and false.

Changes the previously private attributes to make them public, increasing the potential for extending the library in user code. Backward-compatible and documented.

on OSX. This fixes a small issue that was exposed
by running test_subprocess through regrtest (and
hence in a subdirectory).

Without this patch running python.exe from the
build tree will fail when these tree conditions
are true:
1) the CWD is not the root of build tree
2) python.exe is found through $PATH
3) the framework is not yet installed
