acd738feb3 SF patch 659809, by Daniel Brotsky: fix Makefile.pre to use config
env.

This adds @CFLAGS@  and @CPPFLAGS@ to the end of the respective
variable definitions.  It also adds $(LDFLAGS) to the $(CC) invocation
to build $(PGEN).

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().

cfd3884882 This is Richie Hindle's patch
[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers

with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.

[#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.

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.

3bf99e3e87 Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situations
this can result in significantly smaller files.  All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility.  Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.

84c7a3f328 Try linking the static Sleepycat lib into _bsddb.pyd. Hard to say
whether this is a correct thing to do:

+ There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt).
+ test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now.
+ test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too.

Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated
build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled
the Windows installer accordingly.

19cf4ee69d More bsddb-on-Windows fiddling:
+ News blurb, but as much XXX as news.
+ Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL;
  still don't know how to fold that into _bsddb.pyd).
+ Fleshed out build instructions.
+ Debug Python still blows up.

that is outside the integer range no longer raises OverflowError, but
returns a long object instead.
