(Fred, don't bother to add to lib.tex or to proofread this yet.)

The static variable (implicit) was not necessary.
The c_globals can be None or True now.

Added comment (to myself) on what still needs to be done.

complete yet, but it should work. It will be finished (and renamed)
shortly.

constants have tradiationally been in MACFS.py.

- Added access to the "data" attribute
- Fixed the FSRef tp_init routine to accept pathnames on OSX
- Changed the FSSpec tp_repr to return something resembling what
  macfs returns.

externally visible name of the module. This is so that type names can be
shown as "Carbon.File.FSSpec" even though the real name of the module is
"_File".

1. Update ScriptBinding.py to highlight a syntax error in the Edit window,
   and place the cursor on the error.  Add a syntax check to the
   Run Script event instead of waiting until the script tries to run and
   raises a syntax error in the shell, forcing the user to navigate back
   to the Edit window to fix it.
2. Modify tag_config's appropriately in PyShell.py and ColorDelegator.py
3. Some minor clean-up in ScriptBinding.py

[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers

with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.

Convert remaining uses of 1/0 to True/False

Try to clear up confusion about the current globals being copied
into a globals dict passed to eval().  This wording (more or less)
was suggested in bug report.  It should probably be made clearer.

Backport candidate.

Added doc for functions new to 2.2:  classmethod property staticmethod super
Taken from docstrings.  Could use review.
Hope there wasn't a reason why these shouldn't have been added.

Backport candidate.

Tested w/valgrind, all paths except the return on PyInt_AsLong() failure
I think I got all of these right.

Backport candidate.

1. If a tab is entered at the prompt, allow it to be backspaced away.
2. Eliminate the beep when hitting <enter> at the prompt.

[#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling

* Objects/fileobject.c
  (file_read): Clear errors before leaving the loop in all situations,
  and also check if some data was read before exiting the loop with an
  EWOULDBLOCK exception.

* Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex
* Objects/fileobject.c
  Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than
  what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode.

* Misc/NEWS
  Document the fix.

[#448679] Left to right

* Python/compile.c
  (com_dictmaker): Reordered evaluation of dictionaries to follow strict
  LTR evaluation.

* Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py
  (CodeGenerator.visitDict): Reordered evaluation of dictionaries to
  follow strict LTR evaluation.

* Doc/ref/ref5.tex
  Documented the general LTR evaluation order idea.

* Misc/NEWS
  Documented change in evaluation order of dictionaries.

[#636769] Fix for major rexec bugs

  direct access to the file object.
  (RExec): Added 'xreadlines' and '_weakref' to allowed modules.
  (RExec.r_open): Convert string subclasses to a real string classes
  before doing comparisons with mode parameter.

way to get various alias creation routines as methods of FSSpec or FSRef
objects (which is the logical thing, from a Python POV). Also started on
the code that will contain all the macfs functionality, so macfs can
becode a Python module, to be used mainly for backward compatibility.
