whichmodule() should skip dummy package entries in sys.modules.

This fixes the charming, but unhelpful error message for

Can't pickle <built-in method __new__ of type object at 0x812a440>: it's not the same object as datetime.math.__new__

Add C API PyUnicode_FromOrdinal() which exposes unichr() at C level.

u'%c' will now raise a ValueError in case the argument is an
integer outside the valid range of Unicode code point ordinals.

Closes SF bug #593581.

 * always write the mtime to a .pyc in little endian format
 * ensure class's docstrings get attached to the class, not the
   enclosing scope!

Rather more fixes are needed for the trunk; these will be done in due
course.

    revision 1.88 of setup.py
    revision 1.46 of Lib/distutils/sysconfig.py

When using a Python that has not been installed to build 3rd-party
modules, distutils does not understand that the build version of the
source tree is needed.

This patch fixes distutils.sysconfig to understand that the running
Python is part of the build tree and needs to use the appropriate
"shape" of the tree. This does not assume anything about the current
directory, so can be used to build 3rd-party modules using Python's
build tree as well.

This is useful since it allows us to use a non-installed debug-mode
Python with 3rd-party modules for testing. It as the side-effect that
set_python_build() is no longer needed (the hack which was added to
allow distutils to be used to build the "standard" extension modules).

This closes SF patch #547734.

email pkg's distinct test suite.

SF #558432: Prevent Annoying ' ' from readline (Holker Krekel).

    readline in all python versions is configured
    to append a 'space' character for a successful
    completion. But for almost all python expressions
    'space' is not wanted (see coding conventions PEP 8).
    For example if you have a function 'longfunction'
    and you type 'longf<TAB>' you get 'longfunction '
    as a completion. note the unwanted space at the
    end.

    The patch fixes this behaviour by setting readline's
    append_character to '\0' which means don't append
    anything. This doesn't work with readline < 2.1
    (AFAIK nowadays readline2.2 is in good use).

    An alternative approach would be to make the
    append_character
    accessable from python so that modules like
    the rlcompleter.py can set it to '\0'.

[Ed.: I think expecting readline >= 2.2 is fine.  If a completer wants
another character they can append that to the keyword in the list.]

Allow abspath to still do something sensisble if the nt module can not be imported.

Fix a problem in site.py which triggers in case sys.path is empty.

smtp_RCPT(): Removed a somewhat embarrassing debugging line, found by
Scot Stevenson.  Could be a bug fix candidate, but probably doesn't
matter much unless a certain blue-nosed cat suddenly becomes corporeal
and starts emailing some stmp.py (sic) fronted mailer.

Patch #586999: Fix multiline string in sendmail example.

smptlib did not handle empty addresses.
The problem was that it expected rfc822.parseaddr() to return None
upon a parse failure.  The actual, documented return value for a
parse failure is (None, None).
