issuing a warning.

(Python2 doesn't have PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault*() functions)

interpreter shutdown semantics. Same issue goes for the methods that __del__
called. Now all the methods capture the global objects it needs as default
values to private parameters (could have stuck them on the class object itself,
but since the objects have nothing directly to do with the class that seemed
wrong).

There is no test as making one that works is hard. This patch was
verified against a consistently failing test in Mercurial's test suite, though,
so it has been tested in some regard.

Closes issue #5099. Thanks to Mary Stern for the bug report and Gabriel
Genellina for writing another patch for the same issue and attempting to write
a test.

assuming framework-specific site-packages directories were being used.

test_pep277 fails on "x86 Tiger" buildbot but not on "PPC Tiger".

Ooops, merge also r80334 (patch by r.david.murray)

UTF name on Mac OS X because the OS deny it (the name have to be a valid UTF8
string).

Merge r80163 from py3k branch.

- document Attr.value
- wrap some long lines

Removed the assertion that dispatcher.connected attribute must be False after a single connect() call. Solaris and FreeBSD buildbots failures showed how connect() can succeed even in a single call. All bo failures should definitively be fixed now.

the zlib itself doesn't give any detailed explanation.

handled by a decompressor object without errors (it returns incomplete
uncompressed data).

I've removed the hopeful note about a future higher-level module since
it's been in there for quite a long time and nothing of the sort has
come up. There are a few places where markup was added to cross-reference
other sections, and many of the external links have been removed and now
point to newly created sections containing previously undocumented
information.

The Value Types section was created and it's contents were taken from
a function-specific area, since it applies to more than just that
function. It fits in better with the other newly documented constants.

remove some unnecessary '#include "confdefs.h"' lines.  Thanks Roumen Petrov.
