  Trim leading zeros from a floating point exponent, per C99.  See issue 1600.  As far as I know, this only affects Windows.  Add float type 'n' to PyOS_ascii_formatd (see PEP 3101 for 'n' description).

  r60910 | eric.smith | 2008-02-21 00:39:28 +0100 (Thu, 21 Feb 2008) | 1 line

  Now that PyOS_ascii_formatd supports the 'n' format, simplify the float formatting code to just call it.

  Removed uses of dict.has_key() from distutils, and uses of
  callable() from copy_reg.py, so the interpreter now starts up
  without warnings when '-3' is given.  More work like this needs to
  be done in the rest of the stdlib.
