(since it is).

1) "from M import X" now works even if M is not a real module; it's
   basically a getattr() operation with AttributeError exceptions
   changed into ImportError.

2) "from M import *" now looks for M.__all__ to decide which names to
   import; if M.__all__ doesn't exist, it uses M.__dict__.keys() but
   filters out names starting with '_' as before.  Whether or not
   __all__ exists, there's no restriction on the type of M.

- Couple of tiny fixes to other docstrings (Ping)

Tested on Windows.  Should be tested on Linux.  Should also be
tested on some platform without threads (I simulated that by
making the "import thread" fail, but that's not the same as
actually doing it!).

This mostly closes SF bug #128251.

Noone but me cares, but Guido said to go ahead and fix it if it bothered me.

latter on c.l.py some time ago, I forget who, sorry.)

These are the changes to the Modules Makefile and makesetup script for
Cygwin.

Note: this could use some testing on NeXT, DG/UX, or BeOS, because of
the changes in the Makefile regarding $(LDLIBRARY).

I've skipped all bugfixes, Unicode, distutils changes.  But this

with spaces in filename.

I changed the module to use string methods instead of the string
module.  Also, instead of stripping the last character of the filename
(assuming this is the linefeed), I strip trailing whitespace (assuming
creating files with trailing whitespace in their name cannot possibly
be a wise idea).

(Note that I believe that /F's "workaround for broken uuencoders" is
no longer needed since the recent fix to binascii.c, but I'll leave it
in since it appears pretty harmless.)

These are done as shared libraries by default, and so is bsddb -- that
