[ #496154 ] Typos in dynload_beos.c

and on the branch.

Fixes #500595.

os.system().
This closes Python bug #500401, Debian bug #127507.

instead of possibly twice by using a sequence of types to check for.
Add a message to the ValueError that can be raised.

for zone hours. Fixes #499169.

Based on comment sent to python-docs.

This closes SF bug #499505.

Thread.__bootstrap(): ignore exceptions in the self.__delete() call in
the finally clause.  An exception here could happen when a daemon
thread exits after the threading module has already been trashed by
the import finalization, and there's not much of a point in trying to
insist doing the cleanup in that stage.

This should fix SF bug ##497111: active_limbo_lock error at program
exit.

2.1.2 and 2.2.1 Bugfix candidate!

(has this gone into 2.1.2 yet?)

  copy.py, 1.23 & test_descr.py, 1.114:

Fix for SF bug ##497426: can't deepcopy recursive new objects

deepcopy(), _reconstruct(): pass the memo to the other function, so
that recursive data structures built out of new-style objects may be
deeply copied correctly.

2.2.1 bugfix!

_reduce(): Avoid infinite recursion in the pickler when self.__class__
doesn't have the _HEAPTYPE flag set, e.g. for time.struct_time and
posix.stat_result.

This fixes the immediate symptoms of SF bug #496873 (cPickle /
time.struct_time loop), replacing the infinite loop with an exception.

I'm feeling thorough today :)

Due to a cut-and-paste error, the type object exported under the name
statvfs_result was in fact the stat_result type object. :-(

2.2.1 bugfix!

SF bug #496549 -Qnew and in-place division "/=".

eval_frame():  Under -Qnew, INPLACE_DIVIDE wasn't getting handed off to
INPLACE_TRUE_DIVIDE (like BINARY_DIVIDE was getting handed off to
BINARY_TRUE_DIVIDE).

Bugfix candidate.

Suggested by Pete Shinners: treat .m and .mm files as source code.

Question for Jack Jansen: is this reasonable?

Candidate for 2.2 release branch (if Jack thinks it's OK).

Not sure how this wasn't on the branch already, seeing as I thought it
went into 2.2.

Regenerated for Linux 2.2.4.

This wasn't flagged as a bugfix candidate, but I think it probably was.
Howl if you disagree.

Add TCP socket options from glibc 2.2.4. Fixes #495680.
2.2.1 bugfix candidate.

Don't set passiveserver to 0 in connect().  See SF bug #495693.

This should definitely be backported to 2.2.1.  I'll leave it to Jack
to decide whether he wants to fix this in MacPython 2.2.

This fixes SF bug #495896.
Fix up various markup consistency & style guide conformance nits.

"interpolation" in the text, to make the string formatting material easier to
find.
This closes SF bug #487165.

in response to Skip's comments in SF bug #487165.

Make use of string methods instead of string module functions in most places.
Add (and make the default) a way to collapse symbol entries into a single
"Symbols" section in the generated index.  This is similar to what makeindex
does, but does not include entries beginning with an underscore.

useful.

instead of begin_y and begin_x for derwin(), subpad(), and subwin().
Reported for derwin() by Eric Huss.

Added class annotations for the window methods so they would be properly
described in the index.

This closes SF patch #496215.

Add a little more detail to the example that had not been closed.
