windows.
- added optional mode argument to popen2/popen3
for unix; if the second argument is an integer,
it's assumed to be the buffer size.
- changed nt.popen2/popen3/popen4 return values
to match the popen2 module (stdout first, not
stdin).
function is overridden by a python version which accepts
*either* a string (old behaviour) or a locale tuple.
- renamed a few methods (for consistency):
get_locale => getlocale
get_default_locale => getdefaultlocale
set_to_default => resetlocale (!)
- the _locale implementation module can now implement
an optional _getdefaultlocale function. if that function
isn't available, a POSIX-based approach is used (checking
LANG and other environment variables, as usual).
(patch #100765)
just for the sake of it.
note that this only covers the unlikely case that size_t
is smaller than a long; it's probably more likely that
there are platforms out there where size_t is *larger*
than a long, and mmapmodule cannot really deal with that
today.
cast to make sure Py_BuildValue gets the right thing.
this change eliminates bogus return codes from successful
spawn calls (e.g. 2167387144924954624 instead of 0).
was cascades of warnings about mismatching const decls. Overall,
I think const creates lots of headaches and solves almost
nothing. Added enough consts to shut up the warnings, but
this did require casting away const in one spot too (another
usual outcome of starting down this path): the function
mymemreplace can't return const char*, but sometimes wants to
return its first argument as-is, which latter must be declared
const char* in order to avoid const warnings at mymemreplace's
call sites. So, in the case the function wants to return the
first arg, that arg's declared constness must be subverted.
staring at the diffs before checking this one in. let me know
asap if it breaks things on your platform.

indentation changes and minus the changes the broke
the windows build)
Barry Scott). it appears to solve the problem on NT
and 2000, but not on Windows 95.
in other words, it's better than before, but not per-
fect. I'll leave the patch open for now.
