Added module stub for copy_reg renaming in 3.0.
Renamed copy_reg to copyreg in the standard library, to avoid
spurious warnings and ease later merging to py3k branch. Public
documentation remains intact.

for bytes. This is the default protocol. It intentionally cannot
be unpickled by Python 2.x.
- When a pickle written by Python 2.x contains an (8-bit) str
instance, this is now decoded to a (Unicode) str instance. The
encoding used to do this defaults to ASCII, but can be overridden
via two new keyword arguments to the Unpickler class. Previously
this would create bytes instances, which is usually wrong: str
instances are often used to pickle attribute names etc., and text is
more common than binary data anyway.

Add tests for pickletools.optimize().

No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch. The most obvious changes:
- str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
- bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
- PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.
I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.
The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like. Some changes are still on the to-do list.
Completely get rid of StringIO.py and cStringIO.c.
I had to fix a few tests and modules beyond what Christian did, and
invent a few conventions. E.g. in elementtree, I chose to
write/return Unicode strings whe no encoding is given, but bytes when
an explicit encoding is given. Also mimetools was made to always
assume binary files.
base64, uu, zlib, rot_13, hex, quopri, bz2, string_escape.
However codecs.escape_encode() and codecs.escape_decode()
still exist, as they are used for pickling str8 objects
(so those two functions can go, when the str8 type is removed).

Get rid of some remnants of classic classes. types.ClassType == type.
Also get rid of almost all uses of the types module and use the builtin name.

remove jpeg, panel libraries for SGI; there is more IRIX stuff left over,
I guess that should be removed too, but will leave for someone who is sure

Remove rexec and Bastion from the stdlib. This also eliminates the need for
f_restricted on frames. This in turn negates the need for
PyEval_GetRestricted() and PyFrame_IsRestricted().

Remove the compiler package. Will eventually need a mechanism to byte compile
an AST.
........
There's one major and one minor category still unfixed:
doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the
refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon);
other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category.
(Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)
Not all code has been fixed yet; this is just a checkpoint...
The C API still has PyDict_HasKey() and _HasKeyString(); not sure
if I want to change those just yet.
_some_ user-defined class instance. That it was also an exception isn't
interesting, but does interfere with Michael Hudson's new-style exception
patch. This just changes the doctest example, to use an instance of a
non-exception class.
popped a MARK, but without stack emulation the disassembler couldn't
know that, and subsequent indentation got hosed.
Now the disassembler does do enough stack emulation to catch this. While
I was at it, also added lots of sanity checks for other stack operations,
and correct use of the memo. This goes (I think) a long way toward being
a "pickle verifier" now too.
of the opcode character instead (but stripping the quotes).
Added a proto 2 test section for the canonical recursive-tuple case.
Note that since pickle's save_tuple() takes different paths depending on
tuple length now, beefier tests are really needed (but not in pickletools);
the "short tuple" case tried here was actually broken yesterday, and it's
subtle stuff so needs to be tested.
then the embedded argument consumes at least 256 bytes. The difference
between a 3-byte prefix (LONG2 + 2 bytes) and a 5-byte prefix (LONG4 +
4 bytes) is at worst less than 1%. Note that binary strings and binary
Unicode strings also have only "size is 1 byte, or size is 4 bytes?"
flavors, and I expect for the same reason. The only place a 2-byte
thingie was used was in BININT2, where the 2 bytes make up the *entire*
embedded argument (and now EXT2 also does this); that's a large savings
over 4 bytes, because the total opcode+argument size is so small in
the BININT2/EXT2 case.
Removed the TAKEN_FROM_ARGUMENT "number of bytes" code, and bifurcated it
into TAKEN_FROM_ARGUMENT1 and TAKEN_FROM_ARGUMENT4. Now there's enough
info in ArgumentDescriptor objects to deduce the # of bytes consumed by
each opcode.
Rearranged the order in which proto2 opcodes are listed in pickle.py.
