Much-needed merge (using svnmerge.py this time) of trunk changes into p3yk.
Inherits test_gzip/test_tarfile failures on 64-bit platforms from the trunk,
but I don't want the merge to hang around too long (even though the regular
p3yk-contributors are/have been busy with other things.)

Documentation for ctypes.
I think that 'generic operating system services' is the best category.
Note that the Doc/lib/libctypes.latex file is generated from reST sources.
You are welcome to make typo fixes, and I'll try to keep the reST sources
in sync, but markup changes would be lost - they should be fixed in the tool
that creates the latex file.
The conversion script is external/ctypes/docs/manual/mkpydoc.py.

SF bug #1473760 TempFile can hang on Windows.
Python 2.4 changed ntpath.abspath to do an import
inside the function. As a result, due to Python's
import lock, anything calling abspath on Windows
(directly, or indirectly like tempfile.TemporaryFile)
hung when it was called from a thread spawned as a
side effect of importing a module.
This is a depressingly frequent problem, and
deserves a more general fix. I'm settling for
a micro-fix here because this specific one accounts
for a report of Zope Corp's ZEO hanging on Windows,
and it was an odd way to change abspath to begin
with (ntpath needs a different implementation
depending on whether we're actually running on
Windows, and the _obvious_ way to arrange for that
is not to bury a possibly-failing import _inside_
the function).
Note that if/when other micro-fixes of this kind
get made, the new Lib/test/threaded_import_hangers.py
is a convenient place to add tests for them.

Make copy of test_mailbox.py. We'll still want to check the backward
compatibility classes in the new mailbox.py that I'll be committing in
a few minutes.
One change has been made: the tests use len(mbox) instead of len(mbox.boxes).
The 'boxes' attribute was never documented and contains some internal state
that seems unlikely to have been useful.

Add Gregory K. Johnson's revised version of mailbox.py (funded by
the 2005 Summer of Code).
The revision adds a number of new mailbox classes that support adding
and removing messages; these classes also support mailbox locking and
default to using email.Message instead of rfc822.Message.
The old mailbox classes are largely left alone for backward compatibility.
The exception is the Maildir class, which was present in the old module
and now inherits from the new classes. The Maildir class's interface
is pretty simple, though, so I think it'll be compatible with existing
code.
(The change to the NEWS file also adds a missing word to a different
news item, which unfortunately required rewrapping the line.)

Move the PEP 343 documentation and implementation closer to the
terminology in the alpha 1 documentation.
- "context manager" reverts to its alpha 1 definition
- the term "context specifier" goes away entirely
- contextlib.GeneratorContextManager is renamed GeneratorContext
There are still a number of changes relative to alpha 1:
- the expression in the with statement is explicitly called the
"context expression" in the language reference
- the terms 'with statement context', 'context object' or 'with
statement context' are used in several places instead of a bare
'context'. The aim of this is to avoid ambiguity in relation to the
runtime context set up when the block is executed, and the context
objects that already exist in various application domains (such as
decimal.Context)
- contextlib.contextmanager is renamed to contextfactory
This best reflects the nature of the function resulting from the
use of that decorator
- decimal.ContextManager is renamed to WithStatementContext
Simple dropping the 'Manager' part wasn't possible due to the
fact that decimal.Context already exists and means something
different. WithStatementContext is ugly but workable.
A technically unrelated change snuck into this commit:
contextlib.closing now avoids the overhead of creating a
generator, since it's trivial to implement that particular
context manager directly.

Define MAXPATHLEN to be at least PATH_MAX, if that's defined. Python uses
MAXPATHLEN-sized buffers for various output-buffers (like to realpath()),
and that's correct on BSD platforms, but not Linux (which uses PATH_MAX, and
does not define MAXPATHLEN.) Cursory googling suggests Linux is following a
newer standard than BSD, but in cases like this, who knows. Using the
greater of PATH_MAX and 1024 as a fallback for MAXPATHLEN seems to be the
most portable solution.

This may be a useful style question for the docs -- should examples show
the necessary imports, or should it be assumed that the reader will
figure it out? In the What's New, I'm not consistent but usually opt
for omitting the imports.

- Add new Warning class, ImportWarning
- Warn-raise ImportWarning when importing would have picked up a directory
as package, if only it'd had an __init__.py. This swaps two tests (for
case-ness and __init__-ness), but case-test is not really more expensive,
and it's not in a speed-critical section.
- Test for the new warning by importing a common non-package directory on
sys.path: site-packages
- In regrtest.py, silence warnings generated by the build-environment
because Modules/ (which is added to sys.path for Setup-created modules)
has 'zlib' and '_ctypes' directories without __init__.py's.

Teach PyString_FromFormat, PyErr_Format, and PyString_FromFormatV
about "%u", "%lu" and "%zu" formats.
Since PyString_FromFormat and PyErr_Format have exactly the same rules

with more LaTeX Fu changed one of them to just point to the other.
Their docs were way out of synch before this patch, and I just did a
mass copy+paste to repair that.

* Don't use xcodebuild for building PythonLauncher, but use a normal unix

rest of python (e.g. make a universal version of python launcher)
* Convert the mac makefile-s to makefile.in-s and use configure to set makefile
variables instead of forwarding them as command-line arguments
* Add a C version of pythonw, that we you can use '#!/usr/local/bin/pythonw'
* Build IDLE.app using bundlebuilder instead of BuildApplet, that will allow
easier modification of the bundle contents later on.

Bug #1334662 / patch #1335972: int(string, base) wrong answers.
In rare cases of strings specifying true values near sys.maxint,
and oddball bases (not decimal or a power of 2), int(string, base)
could deliver insane answers. This repairs all such problems, and
also speeds string->int significantly. On my box, here are %
speedups for decimal strings of various lengths:
length speedup
------ -------
1 12.4%
2 15.7%
3 20.6%
4 28.1%
5 33.2%
6 37.5%
7 41.9%
8 46.3%
9 51.2%
10 19.5%
11 19.9%
12 23.9%
13 23.7%
14 23.3%
15 24.9%
16 25.3%
17 28.3%
18 27.9%
19 35.7%
Note that the difference between 9 and 10 is the difference between
short and long Python ints on a 32-bit box. The patch doesn't
actually do anything to speed conversion to long: the speedup is
due to detecting "unsigned long" overflow more quickly.
This is a bugfix candidate, but it's a non-trivial patch and it
would be painful to separate the "bug fix" from the "speed up" parts.

Heavily fiddled variant of patch #1442927: PyLong_FromString optimization.
``long(str, base)`` is now up to 6x faster for non-power-of-2 bases. The
largest speedup is for inputs with about 1000 decimal digits. Conversion
from non-power-of-2 bases remains quadratic-time in the number of input
digits (it was and remains linear-time for bases 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32).
Speedups at various lengths for decimal inputs, comparing 2.4.3 with
current trunk. Note that it's actually a bit slower for 1-digit strings:

Fixed problem identified by Georg. The special-case in-place code for replace
made a copy of the string using PyString_FromStringAndSize(s, n) and modify
the copied string in-place. However, 1 (and 0) character strings are shared
from a cache. This cause "A".replace("A", "a") to change the cached version
of "A" -- used by everyone.
Now may the copy with NULL as the string and do the memcpy manually. I've
added regression tests to check if this happens in the future. Perhaps
there should be a PyString_Copy for this case?

Changes to string.split/rsplit on whitespace to preallocate space in the
results list.
Originally it allocated 0 items and used the list growth during append. Now
it preallocates 12 items so the first few appends don't need list reallocs.
("Here are some words ."*2).split(None, 1) is 7% faster
("Here are some words ."*2).split() is is 15% faster
(Your milage may vary, see dealership for details.)
File parsing like this
for line in f:
count += len(line.split())
is also about 15% faster. There is a slowdown of about 3% for large
strings because of the additional overhead of checking if the append is
to a preallocated region of the list or not. This will be the rare case.
It could be improved with special case code but we decided it was not
useful enough.
There is a cost of 12*sizeof(PyObject *) bytes per list. For the normal
case of file parsing this is not a problem because of the lists have
a short lifetime. We have not come up with cases where this is a problem
in real life.
I chose 12 because human text averages about 11 words per line in books,
one of my data sets averages 6.2 words with a final peak at 11 words per
line, and I work with a tab delimited data set with 8 tabs per line (or
9 words per line). 12 encompasses all of these.
Also changed the last rstrip code to append then reverse, rather than
doing insert(0). The strip() and rstrip() times are now comparable.

Patch 1145039.
set_exc_info(), reset_exc_info(): By exploiting the
likely (who knows?) invariant that when an exception's
`type` is NULL, its `value` and `traceback` are also NULL,
save some cycles in heavily-executed code.
This is a "a kronar saved is a kronar earned" patch: the
speedup isn't reliably measurable, but it obviously does
reduce the operation count in the normal (no exception
raised) path through PyEval_EvalFrameEx().
The tim-exc_sanity branch tries to push this harder, but
is still blowing up (at least in part due to pre-existing
subtle bugs that appear to have no other visible
consequences!).
Not a bugfix candidate.

Under the hood, the '\keyword{with}' statement is fairly complicated.

\subsection{The contextlib module\label{module-contextlib}}
The new \module{contextlib} module provides some functions and a
-decorator that are useful for writing context managers.
+decorator that are useful for writing objects for use with the
+'\keyword{with}' statement.
-The decorator is called \function{contextmanager}, and lets you write
-a simple context manager as a generator. The generator should yield
-exactly one value. The code up to the \keyword{yield} will be
-executed as the \method{__enter__()} method, and the value yielded
-will be the method's return value that will get bound to the variable
-in the '\keyword{with}' statement's \keyword{as} clause, if any. The
-code after the \keyword{yield} will be executed in the
-\method{__exit__()} method. Any exception raised in the block
-will be raised by the \keyword{yield} statement.
+The decorator is called \function{contextfactory}, and lets you write

+\method{partition(sep)} condenses this
