a37e5cce4b We're using strictly American spellings, so there's no diaresis over 
the i in naive.

More markup fixups.

bad8ff089a A step on the way to making tzinfo classes writable by mortals: get rid 
of the timetz case.  A tzinfo method will always see a datetimetz arg,
or None, now.  In the former case, it's still possible that it will get
a datetimetz argument belonging to a different timezone.  That will get
fixed next.

c7b076928c Incorporate Skip's suggestion to use SciPy's validation test near 
equality.  Note, there is another flavor that compares to a given
number of significant digits rather than decimal places.  If there
is a demand, that could be added at a later date.

e11b510a5b SF 658405: calendar.py to rely on the datetime module instead of the time 
module.

The code is shorter, more readable, faster, and dramatically increases the
range of acceptable dates.

Also, used the floor division operator in leapdays().

[#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling

* Objects/fileobject.c
  (file_read): Clear errors before leaving the loop in all situations,
  and also check if some data was read before exiting the loop with an
  EWOULDBLOCK exception.

* Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex
* Objects/fileobject.c
  Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than
  what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode.

* Misc/NEWS
  Document the fix.

2c3bfc2a1a Raw documentation for the bdist_wininst postinstallation script. 
People are already using it, so these docs are certainly better than
no docs at all. Markup is mostly missing and the layout is probably
ugly, but this can be fixed later.

Question: there are references to MS docs for the CSIDL_... constants
and the IShellLink interface. Are these pointers sufficient, or should
the MS docs reworded and repeated here?

d9a6ad3beb Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is 
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.

This closes SF patch #649608.

b083cb3901 Patch #651621, approved by MvL. 
This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with
an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance:

z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w")
z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data)
z.close()

I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient
for simple (but common) things.

If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo
instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time,
which makes sense to me for anonymous data.

a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.

e61f365b0b Document the available command line flags for bdist_wininst, which are 
avaliable in the Python 2.2 branch.

I've left out some flags which are more thought for debugging, if
someone needs them, he can always look at the output of --help.

I'm sure Fred will make some adjustments, so I'll only mark this as a
2.2 bugfix candidate.

There are more options available in the current CVS bdist_wininst,
I will document them after this is in.

49b33fa4cb Squash an enormous number of warnings reported when adding "use 
warnings;" to this, and keep the "use" statement this time.

Fix an obscure bug that caused weird index entries to be generated in
a few cases, and a minor problem with horizontal alignmetn of the last
column of 5-column tables.

[I'd report a SF bug #, but I can't get to that right now.]

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation.  The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone!  OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty.  Better
than a core dump.

For encoding there are two additional errors values:
"xmlcharrefreplace" and "backslashreplace".

These values can be extended via register_error().
