Closes SF patch #103123.

funcobject.h:

    PyFunctionObject: add the func_dict slot.

funcobject.c:

    PyFunction_New(): Initialize the func_dict slot to NULL.

    func_getattr(): Rename to func_getattro() and change the
    signature.  It's more efficient to use attro methods and dig the C
    string out than it is to re-convert a C string to a PyString.

    Also, add support for getting the __dict__ (a.k.a. func_dict)
    attribute, and for getting an arbitrary function attribute.

    func_setattr(): Rename to func_setattro() and change the signature
    for the same reason.  Also add support for setting __dict__
    (a.k.a. func_dict) and any arbitrary function attribute.

    func_dealloc(): Be sure to DECREF the func_dict slot.

    func_traverse(): Be sure to traverse func_dict too.

    PyFunction_Type: make the necessary func_?etattro() changes.

classobject.c:

    instancemethod_memberlist: Add __dict__

    instancemethod_setattro(): New method to set arbitrary attributes
    on methods (really the underlying im_func).  Raise TypeError when
    the instance is bound or when you're trying to set one of the
    reserved im_* attributes.

    instancemethod_getattr(): Renamed to instancemethod_getattro()
    since that's what it really is.  Also, added support fo getting
    arbitrary attributes through the im_func.

    PyMethod_Type: Do the ?etattr{,o} dance.

Closes SF patch #103123.

Regression test for function attributes, with output file.

type.  The method documentation also includes a new brief discussion
of `bound' vs. `unbound' and why setting an attr on a bound method is
a TypeError.  Includes Skip's suggested text.

object.

This fixes potential overflows in xrange()'s internal calculations on
64-bit platforms.  The fix is complicated because the sq_length slot
function can only return an int; we want to support
xrange(sys.maxint), which is a 64-bit quantity on most 64-bit
platforms (except Win64).  The solution is hacky but the best
possible: when the range is that long, we can use it in a for loop but
we can't ask for its length (nor can we actually iterate beyond
2**31-1, because the sq_item slot function has the same restrictions
on its arguments.  Fixing those restrictions is a project for another
day...

Its base class ValueError can be raised too, so catch that.

should have been a NameError.  I'm checking in a change that catches
both, just to be sure -- I can't be bothered trying to understand this
code any more. :-)

This is slightly controversial, but after reading the argumentation in
the bug tracker for and against, I believe this is the right solution.
Let me know if it breaks for you, and how.

faster than the other.  Should be faster for Mark Favas's 254-character
mail log lines, and *is* 3-4% quicker for my test case with much shorter
lines (but they're typical of *my* text files, and I'm tired of optimizing
for everyone else at my expense <wink> -- in fact, the only one who loses
here is Guido ...).

(bugs #115903, #115696)

This is based on a patch by Darrel Gallion.  I'm not 100%
sure about this fix, but I haven't managed to come up with
any test case it cannot handle...

- Conform to standard coding style in a few more places.

- Change the default file type to application/octet-stream.
- Add support to recognize .py, .c, .h files as text/plain (this is
  what I use most :-).

Ping apparently doesn't check in Accepted patches, so I'm doing this
for him.

According to Ping: The name of the controller class should be
"Konqueror", not "Konquerer". (See the website

Header

Dougfort's comments: httplib does not include ':port ' in the HTTP 1.1
'Host:' header.  This causes problems if the server is not listening
on Port 80.  The test case I use is the login to /manage under Zope,
with Zope listening on port 8080. Zope returns a <frameset> with the
<frame> source URLs lacking the :8080.

-- added some more docstrings
-- fixed typo in scanner class (#125531)
-- the multiline flag (?m) should't affect the \Z operator (#127259)
-- fixed non-greedy backtracking bug (#123769, #127259)
-- added sre.DEBUG flag (currently dumps the parsed pattern structure)
-- fixed a couple of glitches in groupdict (the #126587 memory leak
   had already been fixed by AMK)
