more often than it is.  In response to bug:

[ 641808 ] Portability of Modules/_cursesmodule.c

submitted by Nick Mclaren.

   Make keyname raise ValueError if passed -1, avoiding a segfault
   Make getkey() match the docs and raise an exception in nodelay mode
   The return type of getch() is int, not chtype

for Py_Main().

Thanks to Kalle Svensson and Skip Montanaro for the patches.

[ #510644 ] test_curses segfaults

If we use the *object* *allocator*, we should use the *object* *deallocator*,
not the *raw memory* deallocator (confused yet?).

I think this was what caused segfaults when pymalloc was enabled.

Even if it wasn't the cause, it's still wrong.

2.2.1 candidate.

[ #504284 ] Last build problems on AIX

I'm ignoring the suggestion that this should be an autoconf test in the
interests of having a fix today.  Feel free to quibble.

type.__module__ behavior.

This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this).  Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right.  Apologies if they're
not.  This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer.  It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output.  It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.

STRICT_SYSV_CURSES when compiling curses module on HP/UX. Generalize
access to _flags on systems where WINDOW is opaque. Fixes bugs
#432497, #422265, and the curses parts of #467145 and #473150.

Allow passing strings to the .border() method
Correct some error messages ("1 or 4" -> "1 to 4")
Bump version number
Tweak code formatting
Update my e-mail address

gcc defines both.

This is part of SF patch #434992.

   newwin() wrapper to always return a window, and never a pad.  This makes
   the code match the documentation.

Michael Hudson suggested this fox for the Tru64 problem (SF bug
232597).  It looks reasonable, it works on Tru64, and it doesn't beak
anything on Linux, so I say go for it.

Remove several macros and #includes; py_curses.h contains them now.

    initialize the terminal without necessarily calling initscr()

build on SGI":
* Check for 'sgi' preprocessor symbol, not '__sgi__'
* Surround individual character macros with #ifdef's, instead of making them
  all rely on STRICT_SYSV_CURSES

(leaving the rest of the modules for Barry)

ncurses extension, so it's made conditional depending on STRICT_SYSV_CURSES

reversed tests resulted in an exception when you supplied the correct number
of arguments

and a couple of functions that were missed in the previous batches. Not
terribly tested, but very carefully scrutinized, three times.

All these were found by the little findkrc.py that I posted to python-dev,
which means there might be more lurking. Cases such as this:

long
func(a, b)
	long a;
	long b; /* flagword */
{

and other cases where the last ; in the argument list isn't followed by a
newline and an opening curly bracket. Regexps to catch all are welcome, of
course ;)
