this by changing the mode to "w".

like the one in the BeOpen license (and similar to the one in the CNRI
license, but with the "click-to-accept" part elided).

always:

- #undef HAVE_CONFIG_H (because otherwise chardefs.h tries to include
  strings.h)

- #include readline.h and history.h

and we never declare any readline function prototypes ourselves.

This makes it compile with readline 4.2, albeit with a few warnings.
Some of the remaining warnings are about completion_matches(), which
is renamed to rl_completion_matches().

I've tested it with various other versions, from 2.0 up, and they all
seem to work (some with warnings) -- but only on Red Hat Linux 6.2.

Fixing the warnings for readline 4.2 would break compatibility with
3.0 (and maybe even earlier versions), and readline doesn't seem to
have a way to test for its version at compile time, so I'd rather
leave the warnings in than break compilation with older versions.

Update docs for PyDict_Next() based on the most recent changes to the
dictionary code.

This closes SF patch #409864.

problem reported by Neil Schemenauer on python-dev on 4/12/01, wth
subject "Problem with SSL and socketmodule on Debian Potato?".

It's tentative because Moshe objected, but Martin rebutted, and Moshe
seems unavailable for comments.

(Note that with OpenSSL 0.9.6a, I get a lot of compilation warnings
for socketmodule.c -- I'm assuming I can safely ignore these until 2.1
is released.)

references to an object before calling registered callbacks).

Change last uses of verify() to self.assert_().

                   before calling any callbacks.  This is important
                   since the callback objects only look at themselves
                   to determine that they are invalide.  This change
                   avoids a segfault when callbacks use a different
                   reference to an object in the process of being
                   deallocated.

This fixes SF bug #415660.

(with modification of existing dict elements!).

This is part of SF patch #409864: lazy fix for Pings bizarre scoping
crash.

The adaptation I made to Michael's patch was to change the error
handling to avoid masking other errors (moving the specific error
message to inside test_dict_inner()), and to insert a test for
dict==NULL at the start.

now raises NameError instead of UnboundLocalError, because the var in
question is definitely not local.  (This affects test_scope.py)

Also update the recent fix by Ping using get_func_name().  Replace
tests of get_func_name() return value with call to get_func_desc() to
match all the other uses.

Wrap some long lines and fix some markup nits.

   Calling an unbound method on a C extension class without providing
   an instance can yield a segfault.  Try "Exception.__init__()" or
   "ValueError.__init__()".

   This is a simple fix. The error-reporting bits in call_method
   mistakenly treat the misleadingly-named variable "func" as a
   function, when in fact it is a method.

   If we let get_func_name take care of the work, all is fine.

- Removed the subsection numbering in section B (each time a new
  license is inserted in the front, the others have to be renumbered).

- Changed the words in the intro to avoid implying that 1.6.1 is
  GPL-compatible.
