allow compiling Python AST objects into code objects
in compile().

Adds sqlite3.Connection.iterdump to allow dumping of databases.

The moved tests use a local server rather than going out to external servers.

Accepts patch from issue2429.

reliable, but I'm not convinced it is the right solution.  We need
to determine if this causes the test to hang on any platforms or do
other bad things.

Even if it gets the test to pass reliably, it might be that we want
to fix this in socket.  The socket returned from accept() is different
on different platforms (inheriting attributes or not) and we might
want to ensure that the attributes (at least blocking) is the same
across all platforms.

Rather than sprinkle casts throughout the code, change Py_CHARMASK to
always cast it's result to an unsigned char.  This should ensure we
do the right thing when accessing an array with the result.

up after it was joined had a traceback pointing to that thread's (deleted)
target attribute, while the test was trying to check that the target was
destroyed. Big thanks to Antoine Pitrou for diagnosing the race and pointing
out sys.exc_clear() to kill the exception early. This fixes issue 2496.

"" "" => """", which is invalid code.

Will backport

The tokenize module doesn't understand __future__.unicode_literals yet

 and some string concatenations.
Removed unneeded __future__ print_function import.

since char is signed on some platforms and unsigned on others.

(Also remove some #if 0 code that is already handled in _getbytevalue.)

use basestring instead of str in Python 2.x

The new PyParser_*Ex() functions are based on Neal's suggestion and initial patch. The new __future__ feature makes all '' and r'' unicode strings. b'' and br'' stay (byte) strings.
