function can't handle, don't raise IOError -- that doesn't make sense.
Raise ValueError instead.

Bugfix candidate.

* Use Sets module to more clearly articulate a couple of tests.

are going to replace StandardGetFile() and friends. Main differences are
that these allow you to ask for specific datatypes to be returned (FSSpec,
FSRef, string, unicode or subtypes thereof) and that they provide access
to underlying features of Navigation Services through keyword arguments.

        underlying DB has already been closed (and thus all of its cursors).
        This fixes a potential segfault.

bugfix: close the DB object when raising an exception due to an error
        during DB.open.  This prevents an exception when closing the
        environment about not all databases being closed.

Strengthen slicing tests.
Improved variable names.

Add backwards compatibility test.

Added random test from bisect to augment the finite precomputed checks.

case, the test module created is actually a sub-package of 'test', thus
the module is named 'test.areallylongpackage...' - this caused failure.

Replace the hard-coded module names with __name__ attributes, which
correctly reflects any hierarchy.

so just continue testing. Fixes #668787.

_strptime can now handle getting two empty strings as the timezone information.

Fixes #661762, bugfix candidate.

FSSpec.SetDates() and GetDates(). Closes #662836.

(Someone please review what I wrote for accuracy.)

* Add doctest for example in the library reference manual

Note, that list.sort() is undefined for lists of sets.
Add the ... prompt to the example so it runs in doctest.

Ensure that the 'size' arg is correctly passed to the encoding reader to
prevent buffer overflows.

- Change default: IDLE now starts with Python Shell.

- Removed the File Path from the Additional Help Sources scrolled list.

- Add capability to access Additional Help Sources on the web if the
  Help File Path begins with //http or www.  (Otherwise local path is
  validated, as before.)

- Additional Help Sources were not being posted on the Help menu in the
  order entered.  Implement sorting the list by [HelpFiles] 'option'
  number.

- Add Browse button to New Help Source dialog.  Arrange to start in
  Python/Doc if platform is Windows, otherwise start in current directory.

- Put the Additional Help Sources directly on the Help menu instead of in
  an Extra Help cascade menu.  Rearrange the Help menu so the Additional
  Help Sources come last.  Update help.txt appropriately.

- Fix Tk root pop-ups in configSectionNameDialog.py  and configDialog.py

is not supported on sets.  (Unfortunately, sorting a list of sets may
still return random results because it uses < exclusively, but for
sets that inly implements a partial ordering.  Oh well.)

The two are semantically equivalent, but the first triggered a compiler
warning about an unused variable.  Note, the preceding steps had already
accessed and decreffed the variable so the reference counts were fine.

inspect.getsource would crash with one line definitions like:
   def f(x): return x
or
   f = lambda x: x
