Closes patch #101295.

Removed installation of Lib/plat-win/*.py, because it no longer exists!

Python test suite.  Specifically,

- import time instead of strop in test_b1

- test for ClassType of exceptions using isinstance instead of
  equality in test_exceptions

- remove __builtins__ from dir() output in test_pkg

test_pkg output needs to be regenerated.

implementation.  You don't want to know.  I've asked Guido to give this
a critical review (we agreed on the approach, but the implementation
proved more ... interesting ... than anticipated).  This will almost
certainly be the highlight of Mark Hammond's day <wink>.

ntransfercmd(), and retrbinary() commands.  This closes SF patch
#101187.

#101187, which some modifications.  Specifically,

ntransfercmd(), transfercmd(), and retrbinary() all grow an optional
`rest' argument, which if not None, is used as the argument to an FTP
REST comman dbefore the socket is returned.  Differences from the SF
patch:

- always compare against None with `is' or `is not' instead of == or !=

- no parens around conditional

- RFC 959 defines the argument to REST is a string containing any
  ASCII characters in the range [33..126].  Therefore, we use the %s
  format character instead of %f or %d as suggested in the patch's
  comments.  Note that we do /not/ sanity checkthe contents of the
  rest argument (but we'll document this in the library reference
  manual).

struct _inittab.

This closes SourceForge bug #111499.

we don't need to run gc frequently

PyErr_Format computes size of buffer needed rather than relying on
static buffer.

(leaving the rest of the modules for Barry)

out again after we complete switching to C++ <wink>.  Thanks to Greg Stein
for hitting me.

unbuffered (by setting the class variable rbufsize to 0), because we
(may) need to pass the file descriptor to the subprocess running the
CGI script positioned after the headers.

and wfile class variables (that the instance can also override).
Change the default for rfile to buffered, because that seems to make a
big difference in performance on some platforms.

An anti-patch is needed to revert the effect in CGIHTTPServer.py which
I'll check in momentarily.

add sanity check to gc: if an exception occurs during GC, call
PyErr_WriteUnraisable and then call Py_FatalEror.

conservative.

* ensure the "dist" directory exists
* raise exception if using for modules containing compiled extensions
  on a non-win32 platform.
* don't create an .ini file anymore (it was just for debugging)

* reverse library names from bcpp_library to library_bcpp
* move some code to the right places, to put the def-files
  in the right directories again

(With a worry-wart comment added by me about where we *should* add the
Python library to the link.)

fairly tight control, and the '_setup_stop_after' and '_setup_distribution'
globals to provide the tight control.

This isn't entirely reliable yet: it dies horribly with a NameError on the
example PIL setup script in examples/pil_setup.py (at least with Python
1.5.2; untested with current Python).  There's some strangeness going
on with execfile(), but I don't understand it and don't have time
to track it down right now.

un-analize Get's definition ("void" is needed only in declarations, not defns, &
is generally considered bad style in the latter).

by masking all unsigned integers with 0xffffffff.

I fixed the a bug in the regression test harness...)

state for dictionaries that have only been indexed by string keys.

See the comments in SourceForge for more.

This closes SourceForge patch #101309.

ceval.c:
    define recurion_limit (static), default value is 2500
    define Py_GetRecursionLimit and Py_SetRecursionLimit
    raise RuntimeError if limit is exceeded
PC/config.h:
    remove plat-specific definition
sysmodule.c:
    add sys.(get|set)recursionlimit

exception context.  This avoids improperly propogating errors raised by
a user-defined __cmp__() by a subsequent lookup operation.

This patch does *not* include the performance enhancement patch for
dictionaries with string keys only; that will be checked in separately.

This closes SourceForge patch #101277 and bug #112558.

Linux.  Perhaps winaudio would be better, as it would offend both
parties equally.
