compare against "the other" argument, we raise TypeError,
in order to prevent comparison from falling back to the
default (and worse than useless, in this case) comparison
by object address.
That's fine so far as it goes, but leaves no way for
another date/datetime object to make itself comparable
to our objects. For example, it leaves Marc-Andre no way
to teach mxDateTime dates how to compare against Python
dates.
Discussion on Python-Dev raised a number of impractical
ideas, and the simple one implemented here: when we don't
know how to compare against "the other" argument, we raise
TypeError *unless* the other object has a timetuple attr.
In that case, we return NotImplemented instead, and Python
will give the other object a shot at handling the
comparison then.
Note that comparisons of time and timedelta objects still
suffer the original problem, though.
add memoize() helper function to update the memo.
The first element of the tuple returned by __reduce__() must be a
callable. If it isn't the Unpickler will raise an error. Catch this
error in the pickler and raise the error there.
The memoize() helper also has a comment explaining how the memo
works. So methods can't use memoize() because the write funny codes.
This gives much the same treatment to datetime.fromtimestamp(stamp, tz) as
the last batch of checkins gave to datetime.now(tz): do "the obvious"
thing with the tz argument instead of a senseless thing.
checked in two days agao:
Refactoring of, and new rules for, dt.astimezone(tz).
dt must be aware now, and tz.utcoffset() and tz.dst() must not return None.
The old dt.astimezone(None) no longer works to change an aware datetime
into a naive datetime; use dt.replace(tzinfo=None) instead.
The tzinfo base class now supplies a new fromutc(self, dt) method, and
datetime.astimezone(tz) invokes tz.fromutc(). The default implementation
of fromutc() reproduces the same results as the old astimezone()
implementation, but tzinfo subclasses can override fromutc() if the
default implementation isn't strong enough to get the correct results
in all cases (for example, this may be necessary if a tzinfo subclass
models a time zone whose "standard offset" (wrt UTC) changed in some
year(s), or in some variations of double-daylight time -- the creativity
of time zone politics can't be captured in a single default implementation).
tzinfo.fromutc() method. The C code doesn't implement any of this
yet (well, not the C code on the machine I'm using now), nor does
the test suite reflect it. The Python datetime.py implementation and
test suite in the sandbox do match these doc changes. The C
implementation probably won't catch up before Thursday (Wednesday is
a scheduled "black hole" day this week <0.4 wink>).
Sebastien Keim pointed out that iterkeys and __contains__ require
their own definitions so their behavior will update when the
underlying method is subclassed.

1. Clear any un-entered characters from input line before printing the
restart boundary.
2. Restore the Debug menu: There are now both Shell and Debug menus.
3. Add Control-F6 keybinding to Restart Shell.
4. Clarify PyShell.cancel_check() comment.
5. Update doc string for Bindings.py and re-format the file slightly.
60: Added support for the SkippedEntityHandler, new in Expat 1.95.4.
61: Added support for namespace prefixes, which can be enabled by setting the
"namespace_prefixes" attribute on the parser object.
65: Disable profiling changes for Python 2.0 and 2.1.
66: Update pyexpat to export the Expat 1.95.5 XML_GetFeatureList()
information, and tighten up a type declaration now that Expat is using
an incomplete type rather than a void * for the XML_Parser type.
67: Clarified a comment.
Added support for XML_UseForeignDTD(), new in Expat 1.95.5.
68: Refactor to avoid partial duplication of the code to construct an
ExpatError instance, and actually conform to the API for the exception
instance as well.
69: Remove some spurious trailing whitespace.
Add a special external-entity-ref handler that gets installed once a
handler has raised a Python exception; this can cancel actual parsing
earlier if there's an external entity reference in the input data
after the the Python excpetion has been raised.
70: Untabify APPEND.
71: Backport PyMODINIT_FUNC for 2.2 and earlier.
