without calling PyType_Ready().

Question 1: Should the interpreter register all types with PyType_Ready()?
Many types seem to avoid it.

Question 2: To reproduce the problem, run the following code:
    def f():
        while True:
           for a in iter(range(0,1,10**20)):
              pass
    f()
And watch the memory used by the process.
How do we test this in a unittest?

#define for PyObject_Unicode in object.h.

In anticipation of the upcoming ssl patch I've added _ssl to PCbuild8. It's based on a copy of _socket.vcproj. My German version of VS 2005 alters almost every line of pcbuild.sln. Could somebody else please add _ssl.vcproj to the solution?

(I also cleared out all trailing whitespace in the C file.)

external symbol PyObject_Unicode'.

Building _ssl than hangs the build server because starting python.exe
displayes a message box that 'Python30.dll' cannot be found.

Temporary (?) solution: Look for existance of python30.dll and fail
the _ssl build when it is missing.

Tested on Windows by Christian Heimes.
I changed the code slightly, renaming decref_socketios() to
_decref_socketios(), and moving it closer to the close() method
that it calls.  Hopefully Bill can now submit his SSL port to 3.0.

Python failed to report an error when it wasn't able to open the PYTHONSTARTUP file.

On Windows _PySys_Init() could raise an uninitialized exception which leads to a seg fault.

Paths and file names from the fs should always be decoded with PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault and not PyUnicode_FromString

print() mustn't raise an exception when sys.stdout is None.

After a long discussion about the problem with Windows GUI apps Guido decided that sys.stdin, stdout and stderr should be None when the C runtime library returns invalid file descriptors for the standard streams.

So far the only known cases are Windows GUI apps and scripts started with pythonw on Windows. The OS restrictions are tight enough to catch the problem on other OSes.

When an unfinished generator-iterator is garbage collected, PyEval_EvalFrameEx
is called with a GeneratorExit exception set.  This leads to funny results
if the sys.settrace function itself makes use of generators.
A visible effect is that the settrace function is reset to None.
Another is that the eventual "finally" block of the generator is not called.

It is necessary to save/restore the exception around the call to the trace
function.

This happens a lot with py3k: isinstance() of an ABCMeta instance runs
    def __instancecheck__(cls, instance):
        """Override for isinstance(instance, cls)."""
        return any(cls.__subclasscheck__(c)
                   for c in {instance.__class__, type(instance)})
which lets an opened generator expression each time it returns True.

Seems a backport candidate, even if the case is less frequent in 2.5.

The pre-commit hook doesn't allow a trailing newline

This adds support for bytes literals (b'...') to tokenize.py, and
removes support for unicode literals (u'...').

Added some more methods and attributes to stdprinter to ease up debugging #1415 on Windows. It also makes the object more file like. Now it can be used as a working replacement for an io instance.

On Windows fileno(stdout) and fileno(stderr) can return an invalid file descriptor number (-2 on my machine). It happens only for pythonw.exe but not for python.exe.

Catch the problem ASAP in PyFile_NewStdPrinter(). I've also removed the call to PyErr_BadInternalCall(). It was causing a seg fault because the exceptions aren't available yet.

I've created three bat files based on the howto http://wiki.python.org/moin/Building_Python_with_the_free_MS_C_Toolkit

I figured out that the files may suite other developers. The files take care of most problems and makes building Python on Windows easier. Simply double click on build_env.bat to open a shell and type build.

Fixed #1403 where compileall and py_compile choked on an encoding header in a py file. Both modules need more unit tests.

Added tests from Raghuram Devarakonda for bug #1395 'py3k: duplicated line endings when using read(1)' to outstanding_bugs.py

Fixed memoryview constructor. It allowed arbitrary keyword arguments. The bug was found by mykhal from #python. I've also added a small test case in the new test_memoryview.py
