The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument.
Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing
down the normal case. My timings so no measurable impact.
char *`` instead of just ``char *``. Also added the mentioning of "const" in
some places where it was left out even when the signature already stated the
fact.
Closes bug #980925.
[ 924301 ] A leak case with cmd.py & readline & exception
by ensuring that the readline completion function is always reset
even in the case of an exception being raised. As a bonus, this
makes the documentation for pre & postloop accurate again.
PyArg_ParseTuple() to ``const char *`` to match the recommendation made in
section 1.3 and to support better coding habits.
Section 1.8 ("Keyword Parameters for Extension Functions") and it's coding
example were not touched since it is stems from an accredited source and thus
did not want to step on anyone's toes.
Fix memory leaks revealed by valgrind and ensuing code inspection.
In the existing test suite valgrind revealed two memory leaks (DB_get
and DBC_set_range). Code inspection revealed that there were many other
potential similar leaks (many on odd code error paths such as passing
something other than a DBTxn object for a txn= parameter or in the face
of an out of memory error). The most common case that would cause a
leak was when using recno or queue format databases with integer keys,
sometimes only with an exception exit.
Cleaned up existing code by abstracting code to parse arguments. Also removed
any unneeded operations (such as calling 'int' on a division when using floor
division also works). Fixed a bug where the values returned by
OldStyleRange could be short by one value. Added more documentation.
Testing code also has a basic sanity check.

regrtest.py after it ran test_frozen. This test was really only
designed to be run immediately after startup. Afterwards, other
modules could be loaded when had not been fixed-up by site.py
Took the chicken way out and only tested those modules known to
be imported by site.py.
