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
http://www.konqueror.org/.)

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)

  appends to list of filters instead of inserting at the front.  This
  is useful to add a filter with a lower priority than -W options.

- Cosmetic improvements to a docstring and an error message.

When the exception has no message, don't insert a colon after the
exception name.

re-initializing Python (Py_Finalize() followed by Py_Initialize()) to
blow up quickly.  With the DECREF removed I can't get it to fail any
more.  (Except it still leaks, but that's probably a separate issue.)
