Usable from the command line or from a program.

could be responsible for various unexplained problems with Python/OSA
interaction over the years):
- Enum values were passed as their string counterparts. Most applications
  don't seem to mind this, but some do (InDesign).
- Attributes have never worked (!), as they were incorrectly passed
  as parameters. Apparently nobody uses them much:-)

in packages correctly.

by putting the help book in an array. Somehow the fact that Python.app
(and, hence, pythonw) got an automatic help menu messed up Tkinter's
handling of the help menu.

- The applet logic has been replaced to bundlebuilder's bootstrap script
- Due to Apple being extremely string about argv[0], we need a way to
  specify the actual executable name for use with sys.executable. See
  the comment embedded in the code.

and not as a side effect of setlocale. Expose it as sys.getfilesystemencoding.
Adjust test case.

AppBuilder, and set the default type to BNDL (overridden in AppBuilder).

This surfaced when trying to build help bundles.

out a month's worth of checkins to libstdtypes.tex (including my
extended slice docs).

I think this checkin merges them all back in, but if you make one of
these checkins:

    Use \code{True} (or False) instead of true/false.
    Not sure if code is correct, but that is what's in this file.
    I've seen \constant{True} in other places.

    Added missing index entries for mapping methods.  Closes patch

some checking may be in order.

checking them in?  Oh well, this fixes various obvious mistakes and
changes a subsubsubsection (which doesn't exist) into a subsubsection
(which does).  I'm not sure this matches the intent, but it seems to
read OK on a quick skim.

breakpoints, which are not implemented in the shell

Modify subprocess to print a reasonable message upon receiving

   This patch makes it work again.

Eliminate extra blank line in shell output.  Caused by stdout not being

outputting an unterminated line, e.g. print "test",

- Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir()
  will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode
  argument.
- And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII.
- Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the
  default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means
  os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding
  can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing
  the error and fall back to a byte string.)
- Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex.
- Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation.

This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not
using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are
supposed to.

introduced when shifting around some code, and added some redundancy
to reduce chances of hitting the wrong source code.  (This is
experimental - it will improve the accuracy, but will reduce the
ability of the user to deliberately select the buffer they want the
buffer grubbing stuff to find.  I think the accuracy improvement will
be worth it, but am not sure, so may remove this.)

because we have no easy way to convert the python encoding string to
a CF encoding parameter.

strings to CF strings. Fixes 682215.

[ 555817 ] Flawed fcntl.ioctl implementation.

with my patch that allows for an array to be mutated when passed
as the buffer argument to ioctl() (details complicated by
backwards compatibility considerations -- read the docs!).

EasyDIalogs methods will call it if needed.

Fixes #684975.

exception of the ProgressBar, which I think is okay to show in the background).

This is a prerequisitite for the fix of #684975.
