And fix the email package to encode to ASCII instead of ``raw-unicode-escape`` before ASCII-to-binary decoding.

This also exposed some bugs in urlib2 and email.base64mime, which I
tried my best to fix. However, someone will probably have to double
check.

  Issue #2051 and patch from Alexander Belopolsky:
  Permission for pyc and pyo files are inherited from the py file.
........

No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch.  The most obvious changes:

  - str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
  - bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
  - PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.

I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.

The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like.  Some changes are still on the to-do list.

email.base64mime, but test_smtplib still has failures for me.  They are
timeout errors so think they're more related to my current wacky network setup
than bugs remaining in the code related to the email package.

This also r57693 that got clobbered with the sandbox sync, and fixes a couple
of other minor problems that cropped up.  I will kill the sandbox branch next.

The email package now has 11F/11E.

This should restore the email package in the py3k branch to exactly what's in
the sandbox.

This wipes out 1-2 fixes made post-copy, which I'll re-apply shortly.

Use str.encode('raw-unicode-escape') consistently instead of bytes(string).

Remove the convert_eols argument from base64mime.decode().  This matches
previous API changes done to the quoprimime module.

Once Barry and the email-sig have a working new version
we'll add it back.
If it doesn't make the 3.0a deadline (release August 31), too bad.

Opportunistically also fixed one or two places where '<> None' should be
'is not None' and where 'type(x) <> y' should be 'not isinstance(x, y)'.

number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html

Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:

test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec

This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.

and NEWS updates.

Briefly (from the NEWS file):

- Updates for the email package:
  + All deprecated APIs that in email 2.x issued warnings have been removed:
    _encoder argument to the MIMEText constructor, Message.add_payload(),
    Utils.dump_address_pair(), Utils.decode(), Utils.encode()
  + New deprecations: Generator.__call__(), Message.get_type(),
    Message.get_main_type(), Message.get_subtype(), the 'strict' argument to
    the Parser constructor.  These will be removed in email 3.1.
  + Support for Python earlier than 2.3 has been removed (see PEP 291).
  + All defect classes have been renamed to end in 'Defect'.
  + Some FeedParser fixes; also a MultipartInvariantViolationDefect will be
    added to messages that claim to be multipart but really aren't.
  + Updates to documentation.

Remove a senseless comment.

compatibility module.

non-us-ascii character sets in headers and bodies.  Some API changes
(with DeprecationWarnings for the old APIs).  Better RFC-compliant
implementations of base64 and quoted-printable.

Updated test cases.  Documentation updates to follow (after I finish
writing them ;).
