Also use CDDB_PATH and CDDB_WRITE_DIR environment variables in cddb.py.

  negative start indices starting from the right.
* ftplib.py: debug() -> set_debuglevel(); change demo to use __init__().
* os.py: added execl, execlp, and execvp.
* lambda.py: removed (now that we have built-in map, reduce, bagof, lambda)
* test_b{1,2}.py, testall.out: added tests for bagof, lambda, map, reduce
* commands.py: use os, not posix
* test_grammar.py: make it easy to disable non-portable int overflow tests
* dis.py: don't abuse range()

* text2latex.py: automatically put function names in \code{}.
* lib.tex, ref.tex, ext.tex, qua.tex, tut.tex: use new P.O.Box number in
  address.

  (formerly ../misc/{EXTENDING,REFCNT,EMBEDDING}).  Also affects Makefile.
* text2latex.py: script to do part of the conversion from an plain ASCI
  text file (in my particular style) to LaTeX.
  (Chapter/section/subsection headers, and verbatim sections.)
* partparse.py, texipre.dat, fix.el, Makefile: Minor cleanup of latex ->
  info conversion process (at least it works again, and with less
  debugging output).  Removed fix.sh.
* lib1.tex (section{Built-in Functions}): adapt description of str() and
  repr() to new situation.
* lib3.tex (Module os): added exec*() variants.
* lib3.tex (Module posix): added execve().
* lib2.tex (Module array): documented reality; remove typecode and
itemsize, add byteswap, rename read/write to fromfile/tofile, and
re-alphabetized.
* lib1.tex (Built-in Functions): renamed bagof() to filter().

* object.[ch], bltinmodule.c, fileobject.c: changed str() to call
  strobject() which calls an object's __str__ method if it has one.
  strobject() is also called by writeobject() when PRINT_RAW is passed.
* ceval.c: rationalize code for PRINT_ITEM (no change in function!)
* funcobject.c, codeobject.c: added compare and hash functionality.
  Functions with identical code objects and the same global dictionary are
  equal.  Code objects are equal when their code, constants list and names
  list are identical (i.e. the filename and code name don't count).
  (hash doesn't work yet since the constants are in a list and lists can't
  be hashed -- suppose this should really be done with a tuple now we have
  resizetuple!)

(Also hash, but it doesn't work yet.)

  careful about these.
* arraymodule.c: added 8 byte swap; added 'i' format character; added
  reverse() method; rename read/write to fromfile/tofile.
* config.c: Set version to 0.9.9++.
* rotormodule.c (r_rand): declare k1..k5 as unsigned longs so the shifts
  will have a well-defined effect independent of word size.
* bltinmodule.c: renamed bagof() to filter().

must be set after timeout is initialized.

  pythonrun.c: added static forward declarations
* pythonrun.h, ceval.h, longobject.h, node.h: removed declarations of
  static routines

  meaning as no 4th argument

  object.

from RFC 1321 here, and point to that RFC instead of a non-existant
incompatible file on rsa.com.

Added ifdefs in stringobject.c for shared strings of length 1.
Renamed free_list in tupleobject.c to free_tuples.

  setlistslice() can be used to cut the unused part out of a freshly made
  slice (as done by bagof()).  [needed by the next mod!]
* structural changes to bagof(), map() etc.

* lib1.tex (section{Built-in Functions}): added bagof(), lambda(), map()
  and reduce().  Repharased apply().  Removed or rephrased references to
  exec() (now the exec stmt).
* lib4.tex: posix.exec --> posix.execv
* ref4.tex, ref8.tex, tut.tex: builtin --> __builtin__
* lib3.tex (module string): added atof() and atol(), and ato[fl]_error.

* PROTO.h, mymalloc.h: added #ifdefs for TURBOC and GNUC.
* allobjects.h: added #include "rangeobject.h"
* Grammar: added lambda_input; relaxed syntax for exec.
* bltinmodule.c: added bagof, map, reduce, lambda, xrange.
* tupleobject.[ch]: added resizetuple().
* rangeobject.[ch]: new object type to speed up range operations (not
  convinced this is needed!!!)

some cases.

as normal indexing does.
