  I finally got the time to update and merge Mark's and my trunk-math branch. The patch is collaborated work of Mark Dickinson and me. It was mostly done a few months ago. The patch fixes a lot of loose ends and edge cases related to operations with NaN, INF, very small values and complex math.

  The patch also adds acosh, asinh, atanh, log1p and copysign to all platforms. Finally it fixes differences between platforms like different results or exceptions for edge cases. Have fun :)

rewrite it so that it doesn't care about relative sizes of size_t,

The rewrite is modeled on PyLong_FromLong, instead of using
PyLong_FromByteArray;  this makes the algorithm simpler and

Issue 2440: revert r62269 and r62279.  These changes were made in an effort to fix test_args2.Signed_TestCase.test_n(), which was failing on Windows x64 on the following line:  'self.failUnlessEqual(99, getargs_n(Long()))'.  Although the two commits *did* fix the test on Windows x64, it's become clear that it's the test that's incorrect, and the changes to PyNumber_Index() in particular were not warranted (and actually violate PEP 357).  This commit will get us back to where we were at r62268, before I started butchering things.

Fix change to PyNumber_Index() made in r62269, which incorrectly allowed floats to be interpreted as longs.  Thanks to Benjamin Peterson for picking this up.

Also don't flush stdout on each call to exec() or eval().
Only interactive input really needs it.

Update test_ssl.py to reflect the new approach for writing network-oriented tests in such a way that contention for ports is eliminated, thus allowing multiple instances of the same test to be run in parallel without issue (import for buildbots to run smoothly).  This change is in line with the changes made to network-oriented tests in trunk in r62234.  test_ssl.py is an odd case because the py3k version was newer than trunk.  When the most recent svnmerge was run from trunk to py3k in r62242, the older trunk version was brought over on top of the newer py3k version.  So, the plan was/is: revert the recent svnmerged version (done), manually make the changes to improve running in parallel (done with this commit), copy this version back to trunk and manually 3to2 it (to do next), check that in, then svnmerge block it.  Then when future changes need to be made to test_ssl.py, we can make them against trunk, and hopefully the merge to py3k should be a lot less painful.

Revert r62242: trunk's test_ssl.py isn't as up-to-date as py3k's, and should't have been brought over in the merge.

Issue 2440: fix the handling of %n in Python/getargs.c's convertsimple(), extend Objects/abstract.c's PyNumber_Index() to accept PyObjects that have nb_int slots, and update test_getargs2 to test that an exception is thrown when __int__() returns a non-int object.

    Fix for http://bugs.python.org/issue2596

    This extends fix_xrange to know about the (mostly) same special contexts as fix_dict (where a special context is something that is guaranteed to fully consume the iterable), adding list() calls where appropriate. It also special-cases "x in range(y)".

  Issue 2408: remove the _types module
  It was only used as a helper in types.py to access types (GetSetDescriptorType and MemberDescriptorType),
  when they can easily be obtained with python code.
  These expressions even work with Jython.

  I don't know what the future of the types module is; (cf. discussion in http://bugs.python.org/issue1605 )
  at least this change makes it simpler.

  - Issue #2550: The approach used by client/server code for obtaining ports
    to listen on in network-oriented tests has been refined in an effort to
    facilitate running multiple instances of the entire regression test suite
    in parallel without issue.  test_support.bind_port() has been fixed such
    that it will always return a unique port -- which wasn't always the case
    with the previous implementation, especially if socket options had been
    set that affected address reuse (i.e. SO_REUSEADDR, SO_REUSEPORT).  The
    new implementation of bind_port() will actually raise an exception if it
    is passed an AF_INET/SOCK_STREAM socket with either the SO_REUSEADDR or
    SO_REUSEPORT socket option set.  Furthermore, if available, bind_port()
    will set the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE option on the socket it's been passed.
    This currently only applies to Windows.  This option prevents any other
    sockets from binding to the host/port we've bound to, thus removing the
    possibility of the 'non-deterministic' behaviour, as Microsoft puts it,
    that occurs when a second SOCK_STREAM socket binds and accepts to a
    host/port that's already been bound by another socket.  The optional
    preferred port parameter to bind_port() has been removed.  Under no
    circumstances should tests be hard coding ports!

    test_support.find_unused_port() has also been introduced, which will pass
    a temporary socket object to bind_port() in order to obtain an unused port.
    The temporary socket object is then closed and deleted, and the port is
    returned.  This method should only be used for obtaining an unused port
    in order to pass to an external program (i.e. the -accept [port] argument
    to openssl's s_server mode) or as a parameter to a server-oriented class
    that doesn't give you direct access to the underlying socket used.

    Finally, test_support.HOST has been introduced, which should be used for
    the host argument of any relevant socket calls (i.e. bind and connect).

    The following tests were updated to following the new conventions:
      test_socket, test_smtplib, test_asyncore, test_ssl, test_httplib,
      test_poplib, test_ftplib, test_telnetlib, test_socketserver,
      test_asynchat and test_socket_ssl.

    It is now possible for multiple instances of the regression test suite to
    run in parallel without issue.
