encodings that are detected as system defaults in MacOS with CJK
locales.  Will be replaced by properly-implemented codecs in 3.1.

The bz2 codec isn't supported any more. I've also commented out several codecs which were removed in the past.

ut-32-be). On narrow builds the codecs combine surrogate pairs in the unicode
object into one codepoint on encoding and create surrogate pairs for
codepoints outside the BMP on decoding. Lone surrogates are passed through
unchanged in all cases.

Backport to the trunk will follow.

  Fix time.strptime's %U support.  Basically rewrote the algorithm to be more
  generic so that one only has to shift certain values based on whether the week
  was specified to start on Monday or Sunday.  Cut out a lot of edge case code
  compared to the previous version.  Also broke algorithm out into its own
  function (that is private to the module).

  Fixes bug #1643943 (thanks Biran Nahas for the report).

  No more raising of string exceptions!

  The next step of PEP 352 (for 2.6) causes raising a string exception to trigger
  a TypeError.  Trying to catch a string exception raises a DeprecationWarning.
  References to string exceptions has been removed from the docs since they are
  now just an error.

and make alias lookup lazy.

Note that only those IANA character set aliases were added for which
we actually have codecs in the encodings package.

with the addition of the euro character.
Also added a few EDBDIC aliases.

and introduces a new method .decode().

The major change is that strg.encode() will no longer try to convert
Unicode returns from the codec into a string, but instead pass along
the Unicode object as-is. The same is now true for all other codec
return types. The underlying C APIs were changed accordingly.

Note that even though this does have the potential of breaking
existing code, the chances are low since conversion from Unicode
previously took place using the default encoding which is normally
set to ASCII rendering this auto-conversion mechanism useless for
most Unicode encodings.

The good news is that you can now use .encode() and .decode() with
much greater ease and that the door was opened for better accessibility
of the builtin codecs.

As demonstration of the new feature, the patch includes a few new
codecs which allow string to string encoding and decoding (rot13,
hex, zip, uu, base64).

Added some more codec aliases. Some of them are needed by the
new locale.py encoding support.

his copy of test_contains.py seems to be broken -- the lines he
deleted were already absent).  Checkin messages:


New Unicode support for int(), float(), complex() and long().

- new APIs PyInt_FromUnicode() and PyLong_FromUnicode()
- added support for Unicode to PyFloat_FromString()
- new encoding API PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() which converts
  Unicode to a decimal char* string (used in the above new
  APIs)
- shortcuts for calls like int(<int object>) and float(<float obj>)
- tests for all of the above

Unicode compares and contains checks:
- comparing Unicode and non-string types now works; TypeErrors
  are masked, all other errors such as ValueError during
  Unicode coercion are passed through (note that PyUnicode_Compare
  does not implement the masking -- PyObject_Compare does this)
- contains now works for non-string types too; TypeErrors are
  masked and 0 returned; all other errors are passed through

Better testing support for the standard codecs.

Misc minor enhancements, such as an alias dbcs for the mbcs codec.

Changes:
- PyLong_FromString() now applies the same error checks as
  does PyInt_FromString(): trailing garbage is reported
  as error and not longer silently ignored. The only characters
  which may be trailing the digits are 'L' and 'l' -- these
  are still silently ignored.
- string.ato?() now directly interface to int(), long() and
  float(). The error strings are now a little different, but
  the type still remains the same. These functions are now
  ready to get declared obsolete ;-)
- PyNumber_Int() now also does a check for embedded NULL chars
  in the input string; PyNumber_Long() already did this (and
  still does)

Followed by:

Looks like I've gone a step too far there... (and test_contains.py
seem to have a bug too).

I've changed back to reporting all errors in PyUnicode_Contains()
and added a few more test cases to test_contains.py (plus corrected
the join() NameError).
