If some other test comes along and uses mimetypes, it will be
initialized from the system files.

If this doesn't happen, it leaves the locale in a state that can cause
other tests to fail.  For example, running test_strptime,
test_logging, and test_time in that order.

Move PEP 273 section into numeric order

Complete the rewrite pass; add a few more items; bump version number to 0.90; remove comment about draft status

I don't think the fix here is very good, but I'm not sure what would
be better.  In particular, we should not be defining _SGIAPI, but lots
of things break if we remove it.

Add reminder list of things to document; mention sys.getcheckinterval() and socket.timeout exception

the info conversion the \comment LaTeX macro mapped to a Texinfo @ignore
macro.  Unfortunately, py2texi.el is not smart enough to avoid generating
links to the @ignore'd section, which causes makeinfo to croak.

Exposing this text is probably not the most correct thing to do, as this
documentation really belongs in the C API manual.  This does get the info
files generated, however, which is a more practical goal considering the
impending release of 2.3rc1.

Prompted by a discussion on comp.lang.python.

skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore
naming convention).  The old default created too much of a risk that
user tests were being skipped inadvertently.  Note, this change could
break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put
failing tests in the docstrings of private functions.  The breakage
is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod()
or Tester().  The more likely case is that the silent failure was
unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be
fixed.

these make sense even without that processing chain.
