Not sure if code is correct, but that is what's in this file.
I've seen \constant{True} in other places.

11ba094957 Major overhaul of timeout sockets:
- setblocking(0) and settimeout(0) are now equivalent, and ditto for
  setblocking(1) and settimeout(None).

- Don't raise an exception from internal_select(); let the final call
  report the error (this means you will get an EAGAIN error instead of
  an ETIMEDOUT error -- I don't care).

- Move the select to inside the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS brackets,
  so other theads can run (this was a bug in the original code).

- Redid the retry logic in connect() and connect_ex() to avoid masking
  errors.  This probably doesn't work for Windows yet; I'll fix that
  next.  It may also fail on other platforms, depending on what
  retrying a connect does; I need help with this.

- Get rid of the retry logic in accept().  I don't think it was needed
  at all.  But I may be wrong.

5efaf7eac8 This is my nearly two year old patch
[ 400998 ] experimental support for extended slicing on lists

somewhat spruced up and better tested than it was when I wrote it.

Includes docs & tests.  The whatsnew section needs expanding, and arrays
should support extended slices -- later.
