the test set as it only tested with a zip archive in the current directory,
but it doesn't work at all for packages when the zip archive was specified
as an absolute path. It's a real embarrassing bug: a strchr call should
have been strrchr; fever apparently implies dyslexia.

Second stupid bug: the zipimport test failed with a name error
__importer__ (which I had renamed to __loader__ everywhere but here).
I would've sworn I ran the test after that change but that can't be true.
What I don't understand that noone reported a failing test_zipimport.py
before the release of 2.3a1.

correct by your lights, it means that-- barring coding errors --it
implements what it intended to implement.

robust. This makes socketserver's close() method callable repeatedly
without error - similar to other file-like objects.

suggestion from Guido, along with a formal correctness proof of the
trickiest bit.  The intricacy of the proof reveals how delicate this
is, but also how robust the conclusion:  correctness doesn't rely on
dst() returning +- one hour (not all real time zones do!), it only
relies on:

1. That dst() returns a (any) non-zero value if and only if daylight
   time is in effect.

and

2. That the tzinfo subclass implements a consistent notion of time zone.

The meaning of "consistent" was a hidden assumption, which is now an
explicit requirement in the docs.  Alas, it's an unverifiable (by the
datetime implementation) requirement, but so it goes.

for user-specified optimizer, debug, trace fiddling.  See patch 640843.

Add /sw/lib and /sw/include to setup.py search paths on Darwin to take

Add scriptsinstall target to Makefile to install certain scripts from

find a more elegant algorithm (OTOH, the hairy new implementation allows
user-written tzinfo classes to be elegant, so it's a big win even if
astimezone() remains hairy).

Darn!  I've only got 10 minutes left to get falling-down drunk!  I suppose
I'll have to smoke crack instead now.

the latter seems a reasonable solution?) to handle this.

The attached patch enables Cygwin Python to
build cleanly against the latest Cygwin Tcl/Tk
which is based on Tcl/Tk 8.3. It also prevents
building against the real X headers, if installed.

Plug the leak that Tim just reported.

- more style consistency crud

Remove broken code in visitDict().  I assume the code was trying to
add set lineno events for each line of a dict constructor, but I think
it was using the wrong object (node instead of k or v).
