Just move over to the public API names.

Closes issue1238.

All this code already exists above starting at line 653.

enumerate() is no longer bounded to using sequences shorter than LONG_MAX.  The possibility of overflow was sending some newsgroup posters into a tizzy.

don't worry about any self-referring tuples.

Python code; but it is possible from C.  object.__str__ had the issue of not
expecting a type to doing something within it's tp_str implementation that
could trigger an infinite recursion, but it could in C code..  Both found
thanks to BaseException and how it handles its repr.

Closes issue #1686386.  Thanks to Thomas Herve for taking an initial stab at
coming up with a solution.

Make tell() mark CRLF as a newline.
With unit test.

predictable to being completely predictable.  The value of hash(n)
is unchanged for any n that's small enough to be representable as an
int, and also unchanged for the vast majority of long integers n of
reasonable size.

PyObject_Print().

Closes issue #1164.

no-no.

Fixes issue #1147.  Need to fix 2.5 to raise a proper warning if a string
exception is passed in.

Backport abc.py and isinstance/issubclass overloading to 2.6.

I had to backport test_typechecks.py myself, and make one small change
to abc.py to avoid duplicate work when x.__class__ and type(x) are the
same.

Closes issue #1096.

ever going back out to Python code in PyObject_Call().  Required introducing a
static RuntimeError instance so that normalizing an exception there is no
reliance on a recursive call that would put the exception system over the
recursion check itself.

 - Specialcase extended slices that amount to a shallow copy the same way as
   is done for simple slices, in the tuple, string and unicode case.

 - Specialcase step-1 extended slices to optimize the common case for all
   involved types.

 - For lists, allow extended slice assignment of differing lengths as long
   as the step is 1. (Previously, 'l[:2:1] = []' failed even though
   'l[:2] = []' and 'l[:2:None] = []' do not.)

 - Implement extended slicing for buffer, array, structseq, mmap and
   UserString.UserString.

 - Implement slice-object support (but not non-step-1 slice assignment) for
   UserString.MutableString.

 - Add tests for all new functionality.

 (backport)

backwards compatibility. Add Py_Refcnt, Py_Type, Py_Size, and
PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT.

with %G.

Py_ssize_t members.

Simplify the implementation of UnicodeError objects:
start and end attributes are now stored directly as
Py_ssize_t members, which simplifies various get and
set functions.

This also catches another condition that can overflow.

Will backport.

a large width is passed on 32-bit platforms.  Found by Google.

It would be good for people to review this especially carefully and verify
I don't have an off by one error and there is no other way to cause overflow.

Will backport to 2.5.

deprecated and will be changed/removed in Python 3.0.

This patch is mostly from Anthony.  I tweaked some format and added
a little doc.

accessing the message attribute instead of using the descriptor.

Add what looks like a necessary call to PyErr_NoMemory() when PyMem_MALLOC()
fails.

Will backport.

As per Armin Rigo's suggestion, remove special handing from intobject.c to deal with the peculiarities of classobject's implementation of the number protocol.  The nb_long method of classobject now falls back to nb_int if there is no __long__ attribute present.

- Reenable modules on x64 that had been disabled aeons ago for Itanium.
- Cleared up confusion about compilers for 64 bit windows.  There is only Itanium and x64.  Added macros MS_WINI64 and MS_WINX64 for those rare cases where it matters, such as the disabling of modules above.
- Set target platform (_WIN32_WINNT and WINVER) to 0x0501 (XP) for x64, and 0x0400 (NT 4.0) otherwise, which are the targeted minimum platforms.
- Fixed thread_nt.h.  The emulated InterlockedCompareExchange function didn´t work on x64, probaby due to the lack of a "volatile" specifier.  Anyway, win95 is no longer a target platform.
- Itertools module used wrong constant to check for overflow in count()
- PyInt_AsSsize_t couldn't deal with attribute error when accessing the __long__ member.
- PyLong_FromSsize_t() incorrectly specified that the operand were unsigned.

With these changes, the x64 passes the testsuite, for those modules present.

the function there is another check for z != Py_None.

- __dict__ descriptor abuse for subclasses of built-in types
- subclassing from both ModuleType and another built-in types

Thanks zseil for the patch.
