is done afterwards anyway, so what the list comp does
can be done in the loop.

file content ends up in the correct dict.

This fixes a bug reported as http://www.python.org/sf/661630,
which was introduced in the patch http://www.python.org/sf/554192.

Also added realpath = abspath for os2emx, similar to windows/mac
which also don't really implement realpath.

Backport candidate, I think?

Mention difference between 2.2.2 and 2.3 True and False

  Add two sections to this manual about package meta-data and about
  registering packages

   Add the 'register' distutils command

  Add 'classifiers' keyword to DistributionMetadata

Lesson learned: kids should not be allowed to use API's starting
with an underscore :-/
zipimport in 2.3a1 is even more broken than I thought: I attemped
to _PyString_Resize a string created by PyString_FromStringAndSize,
which fails for strings with length 0 or 1 since the latter returns
an interned string in those cases. This would cause a SystemError
with empty source files (and no matching pyc) in the zip archive.
I rewrote the offending code to simply allocate a new buffer and
avoid _PyString_Resize altogether.
Added a test that would've caught the problem.

Simplify code and speed access by using PyArg_UnpackTuple, METH_O and
METH_NOARGS in three modules that can benefit from it.

because the test file, msg_26.txt which has \r\n line endings, was
getting munged by cvs, which knows to do line ending conversions for
text files.  But we want \r\n to be preserved on all platforms, so we
cvs admin'd the file to be -kb (binary), which means we have to open
the file in binary mode to preserve these line ends.  Hopefully this
will be the end of the thrashing on this issue (but probably not).

Test passes on *nix now, and Tim confirms it passes on Windows.  We'll
leave it to Jack to test MacOS.

(or None) now.  In 2.3a1 they could also return an int or long, but that
was an unhelpfully redundant leftover from an earlier version wherein
they couldn't return a timedelta.  TOOWTDI.

2. Add more .txt files to installation
3. Fix the reference to Visual Python, s/b VPython

dst() returns None (instead of treating that as 0).

be an unbounded number of API changes <0.6 wink>.

turned out to be 3 special cases of a single more-general result.
Proving the latter instead is a real simplification.

PC/python_nt.rc sets up the DLL version resource (displayed when you
right-click on the DLL and select Properties).

PCbuld/python20.wse sets up the installer version resource (displayed
when you right-click on the installer .exe and select Properties).  Turns
out this one hadn't been updated since 2001 <frown>!

On Windows, it was very common to get microsecond values (out of
.today() and .now()) of the form 480999, i.e. with three trailing
nines.  The platform precision is .001 seconds, and fp rounding
errors account for the rest.  Under the covers, that 480999 started
life as the fractional part of a timestamp, like .4809999978.
Rounding that times 1e6 cures the irritation.

Confession:  the platform precision isn't really .001 seconds.  It's
usually worse.  What actually happens is that MS rounds a cruder value
to a multiple of .001, and that suffers its own rounding errors.

A tiny bit of refactoring added a new internal utility to round
doubles.

release branch?)

Added the logging package.  In the meantime, Neal Norwitz added a
test_logging.py to the std test suite, which would have caught this
oversight in the Windows installer.
