This is an enhancement to a prior patch (100941) ...
[T]his patch removes the risk of deadlock waiting for the child previously present in certain cases. It adds tracking of all file handles returned from an os.popen* call and only waits for the child process, returning the exit code, on the closure of the final file handle to that child.

by Edward K. Ream <edream@users.sourceforge.net> about FILE* values and
incompatible C libraries in dynamically linked extensions.  It is not clear
(to me) how realistic the issue is, but it is better documented than not.

This closes SourceForge bug #111520.

node, without checking if the node actually had more than one child. It can
have only one node, though: '[' test ']'. This fixes it.

and is much better documented to boot.

argument list.

  * use self.debug_print() for debug messages
  * uses now copy.copy() to copy lists
  * added 'shared_lib_extension=".dll"', ... , this is necessary if you
    want use the compiler class outside of the standard distutils build
    process.
  * changed result type of check_config_h() from int to string

  * changed some list.extend([...]) to list.append(...)
  * added '/g0' to compiler_options, so compiler doesn't
    stop after 100 warnings

Properly end a comment block. It was terminated fine later but by a subsequent
block and. It was also in #if 0. This patch is so trivial I can't believe I am
talking about it. :)

re-introducing com_assign_list, now unused. Removed it.

return value to int is safe here because it previously checked that
there will be no overflow.

return value to int is safe here because in each case it previouls checked that
there will be no overflow.

and fwrite return size_t, so it is safer to cast up to the largest type for the
comparison. I believe the cast is required at all to remove compiler warnings.

- fix tab space issues (SF patch #101167 by Neil Schemenauer)
- fix co_flags for classes to include CO_NEWLOCALS (SF patch #101145 by Neil)
- fix for merger of UNPACK_LIST and UNPACK_TUPLE into UNPACK_SEQUENCE,
  (SF patch #101168 by, well, Neil :)
- Adjust bytecode MAGIC to current bytecode.

TODO: teach compile.py about list comprehensions.

huge switch statement broken up. This will probably not be necessary when
the Win64 compiler matures.

his build directory in a different place than his source directory.  I
do, and it is supposed to be supported.  The naive patch caused an
endless recursion in the Make process.  This should take care of that.

Fixed a couple of typos (new references are represented by "+1", not "1").

massaging for markup consistency.  This closes SourceForge patch #101063.

Added Unicode strings and buffer objects to the list of sequence types.

Small markup nits elsewhere.

that these files are treated as normal text files (which they are). However,
the files also had to be changed to be stored in CVS internally with UNIX line
terminators (they had DOS line terminators internally before this commit).

necessary. Do Grammar after Parser because Grammar needs Parser, and not the
other way 'round. This patch doesn't bother with dependencies because it's
tricky to get right (for instance for the modules that want graminit.h,
like cPickle) and other dependencies are broken to begin with.

did the same anyway.

I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of
distutils, is it ? Should it try to be compatible with old bytecode version ?

PyRun_InteractiveLoop():  Added descriptions.

PyExc_WindowsError:  Added to list of standard exceptions and added note
                     about the right preprocessor symbol to use to protect
                     code that uses it.

access():  Corrected availability statement; error pointed out by
           Tim Peters.

	be less confusing; add a paragraph separation so that comments about
	the options and long_options parameters don't have references that
	are easily misinterpreted.

Adjust the interactive examples to not need the string module.

Add an example showing how the module is commonly used in a script.

change to regrtest.py to allow optional running of test_largefile ('cause it's
slow on Win64).
