fromfd() assumes a blocking non-timeout socket.

settimeout().   Already, settimeout() canceled non-blocking mode; now,
setblocking() also cancels the timeout.  This is easier to document.

(XXX should settimeout(0) be an alias for setblocking(0)?  They seem
to have roughly the same effect.  Also, I'm not sure that the code in
connect() and accept() is correct in all cases.  We'll sort this out
soon enough.)

cleanup as well, e.g. renamed NTinit to os_init.

delimiters.  Also repaired some docstrings and comments.

not testing it -- apparently test_timeout.py doesn't test anything
useful):

In internal_select():

- The tv_usec part of the timeout for select() was calculated wrong.

- The first argument to select() was one too low.

- The sense of the direction argument to internal_select() was
  inverted.

In PySocketSock_settimeout():

- The calls to internal_setblocking() were swapped.

Also, repaired some comments and fixed the test for the return value
of internal_select() in sendall -- this was in the original patch.

Add version info, and fix another typo and wording spotted by /F.  I think this is what he meant. :-)

I've made considerable changes to Michael's code, specifically to use
the select() system call directly and to store the timeout as a C
double instead of a Python object; internally, -1.0 (or anything
negative) represents the None from the API.

I'm not 100% sure that all corner cases are covered correctly, so
please keep an eye on this.  Next I'm going to try it Windows before
Tim complains.

No way is this a bugfix candidate. :-)

otherwise this code could segfault:

  from socket import socket
  s = socket.__new__(socket)
  s.recv(100)

Straightforward fix.  Will backport to 2.2.  If there's ever a new 2.1
release, this could be backported there too (since it's an issue with
anything that's got both a __reduce__ and a __setstate__).

This uses cgi.parse_header() in Checker.checkforhtml(), so that
webchecker recognises the mime type text/html even if options
are specified.

Made conversion failure error messages consistent between types.
Added related unittests.

The specific warning is that clean didn't find a directory that should
be removed if it exists.

out how to just activate my code on platforms where I know it works
(currently only linux/x86).

equivalent attributes in a few more spots.

This closes SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/562373

Also, added more regression tests to cover the new type and test its
conformity with range().

Change default for get() back to None.
Will backport to 2.2.1.

Closes SF patch # 560250.

Bugfix candidate IMO.

Fix a bunch of multiline string constants that used +.
