This includes SF patch #590352 and additional support for more of the custom
markup.

  reports on these for a long time now.
- Remove local "use" statement that duplicates a top-level "use".

Closes SF bug #637807.

The buggy yahoo server was fixed, and the opalgroup test files are
gone.

Also, remove unused local variable noted by pychecker.

The two long lines have been reflowed differently; hopefully someone on
BeOS can test them.  Rev. 1.53 also converted string.atoi() to int(); I've
left that alone.

(including the implied call using back-ticks) of a recursive object,
but this is no longer the case.
Reported by Manus Hand via email.

Added design notes in comments.
Used better variable names.
Eliminated the unsavory "pool[-k:]" which was an aspiring bug (for k==0).
Used if/else to show the two algorithms in parallel style.
Added one more test assertion.

add any package support structure even if a dotted-name is passed for
the module.
Closes SF bug #424106.

Fix a number of markup consistency buglets.

Add random.sample()

Use universal newline support when opening a file for freezing.

Closes SF bug #635595.

Pass co_freevars and co_cellvars to new.code().
Will backport.

When mwh added extended slicing, strings and unicode became mappings.
Thus, dict was set which prevented an error when doing:
	newstr = 'format without a percent' % string_value

This fix raises an exception again when there are no formats
and % with a string value.

Modified from the supplied patch to support more whitespace variation.
Closes SF patch #613605.

Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for

SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation.  The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone!  OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty.  Better
than a core dump.

Closes SF bug #635656.

Remove an XXX item: I'm not going to write a section on the email package
    at this point

Used for random sampling without replacement.

PyNumber_Int, because now PyNumber_Int might return a long,
and PyInt_AsLong can handle that, whereas PyInt_AS_LONG can't.

This closes SF bug #629989.

This changes sys.version under Microsoft builds to include the MS compiler
version number (_MSC_VER).  Since VC 6 and VC 7 are apparently
incompatible, and both can be installed on a single box, distutils needs
some way to figure out which version of MSVC a given Python was compiled
under.

As also suggested by MvL, got rid of #ifdef'ery for the defunct _M_ALPHA
target.

Bugfix candidate?  Hard to say.  As far as I'm concerned, VC 7 wasn't
a supported platform in the 2.2 line.  If somebody thinks it should be,
they can do the work.
