module for useful constants.

(The string "strop" is found in the rexec documentation, but that should
not be changed until strop is actually removed or rexec no longer allows
it.)

Fixed a half dozen ways in which general dict comparison could crash
Python (even cause Win98SE to reboot) in the presence of kay and/or
value comparison routines that mutate the dict during dict comparison.

*not* define O_RDWR; get that from the os module.

away a couple hours on this today, and don't wish the same on the next

amd test_string.py believe a 0 count means "replace nothing".
"Nothing" wins, strop loses.

This closes SF bug #231328.

Added all constants needed to use the functions defined in this module
that are not defined elsewhere (the O_* symbols are available in the
os module).  No additonal modules are needed to use this now.

    PyObject_AsFileDescriptor() -- it does the same thing everywhere, so
    use it the same way everyone else does so that exceptions are
    consistent.  This means we have less code here, and we do not need to
    resort to hackish ways of getting the Python-visible function name to
    fdconv().

Updates zipfile.ZipFile docs to mention the fact that you can create a
ZipFile instance from an arbitrary file-like object.

this could cause invalid paths to be returned for AF_UNIX sockets on some
platforms (including FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE), appearantly because there is
no assurance that the address will be nul-terminated when filled in by the
kernel.

PySocketSock_recvfrom():  Use PyString_AS_STRING() to get the data pointer
    of a string we create ourselves; there is no need for the extra type
    check from PyString_AsString().
