SF #558432: Prevent Annoying ' ' from readline (Holker Krekel).

    readline in all python versions is configured
    to append a 'space' character for a successful
    completion. But for almost all python expressions
    'space' is not wanted (see coding conventions PEP 8).
    For example if you have a function 'longfunction'
    and you type 'longf<TAB>' you get 'longfunction '
    as a completion. note the unwanted space at the
    end.

    The patch fixes this behaviour by setting readline's
    append_character to '\0' which means don't append
    anything. This doesn't work with readline < 2.1
    (AFAIK nowadays readline2.2 is in good use).

    An alternative approach would be to make the
    append_character
    accessable from python so that modules like
    the rlcompleter.py can set it to '\0'.

[Ed.: I think expecting readline >= 2.2 is fine.  If a completer wants
another character they can append that to the keyword in the list.]

Allow abspath to still do something sensisble if the nt module can not be imported.

Fix a problem in site.py which triggers in case sys.path is empty.

Bugfix candidate for 2.2.2.

SF #515021, print the refused list to the DEBUGSTREAM, so the parameter is used
Note:  There is a TBD (aka FIXME) for how best to handle the refused addresses.


smtp_RCPT(): Removed a somewhat embarrassing debugging line, found by
Scot Stevenson.  Could be a bug fix candidate, but probably doesn't
matter much unless a certain blue-nosed cat suddenly becomes corporeal
and starts emailing some stmp.py (sic) fronted mailer.

Patch #586999: Fix multiline string in sendmail example.

smptlib did not handle empty addresses.
The problem was that it expected rfc822.parseaddr() to return None
upon a parse failure.  The actual, documented return value for a
parse failure is (None, None).
Closes SF bug 602029.

Treat file://localhost/ as local too (same as file:/ and file:///).

Call me anal, but there was a particular phrase that was speading to
comments everywhere that bugged me: /* Foo is inlined */ instead of
/* Inline Foo */.  Somehow the "is inlined" phrase always confused me
for half a second (thinking, "No it isn't" until I added the missing
"here").  The new phrase is hopefully unambiguous.

Try to improve the explanation of the "raise" statement and how its arguments

Fix Typo.


Reword explanation of global statement since an undeclared global is a
free variable and is subject to those rules.


Note the sole case in which the ban on "from ... import *" within a
function is enforced.


Remove the following restriction:
    Names bound by import statements may not occur in global
    statements in the same scope.
Why not?



Note that it is illegal to delete a cell variable.
Note that deleteing an unbound local will raise a NameError.

that Lib/test/regrtest.py added test_email_codecs to the expected
skips for all platforms.  Also note that test_email_codecs.py differs
slightly from its Python 2.3 counterpart due to the difference in
package location for TestSkipped.
