the number of children of a node exceeds the max possible value for
the short that is used to count them.  The Python runtime converts
this parser error into the SyntaxError "expression too long."

raised, caught, and converted to a string.

Patch to add support for sip: (Session Initiation Protocol, RFC2543)
URLs.

Simplify find code; this is a performance improvement on at least some
platforms.

Added a new debug method sys.gettotalrefcount(), which returns the total number of references on all Python objects.  This is only enabled when Py_TRACE_REFS is defined (which includes default debug builds under Windows).

Also removed a redundant cast from sys.getrefcount(), as discussed on the patches list.

Fix memory leak in initializing __debug__.

commented by Fred Drake, to prevent usage of sufficiently broken GCC
versions.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Fixed a bug in PyUnicode_Count() which would have caused a
core dump in case of substring coercion failure.

Synchronized .count() with the string method of the same name
to return len(s)+1 for s.count('').

Added optimization proposed by Andrew Kuchling to the Unicode
matching macro.

I discovered the [MREMAP_MAYMOVE] symbol is only defined when _GNU_SOURCE is
defined; therefore, here is the change: if we are compiling for linux,
define _GNU_SOURCE before including mman.h, and all is done.

this patch adds a fast _flatten function to the _tkinter
module, and imports it from Tkinter.py (if available).

this speeds up canvas operations like create_line and
create_polygon.  for example, a create_line with 5000
vertices runs about 50 times faster with this patch in
place.

this patch introduces PySequence_Fast and PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM,
and modifies the list.extend method to accept any kind of sequence.

the mremap() change I made; did someone modify configure.in previously
without recreating these files?

Remove two unused variables

	The seek() method is broken for any 'whence' value (seek from
	start, current, orend) other than the default. I have a patch
	that fixes that as well as gets mmap'd files working on
	Linux64 and Win64.

and added (empty) 'precompile_hook()' for symmetry.  One can envision
a much more elaborate hook mechanism, but this looks like it'll do for
now.

size of the mapped area.  This seems to be what the Windows version does.
This change requires keeping around the fd of the mapped file.

This patch fixes an optimisation mystery in _PyUnicodeNew causing segfaults
on AIX when the interpreter is compiled with -O.

mutable, rather than public and constant.

instead of muddling through IOError and OSError exception objects itself.

muddling through IOError and OSError exception objects right here.

forms that IOError and OSError can take (taken from core.py).

'remove_tree()' can cooperate with 'mkpath()' in the maintenance of
the PATH_CREATED cache: specifically, if a directory is created
with 'mkpath()', later removed with 'remove_tree()', and 'mkpath()'
is again requested to create it, then it would erroneously think
the directory already existed, because it was in the PATH_CREATED
cache.  The patch (slightly tweaked by me) fixes that.
