threading modules. Can debug user code which imports these modules,
though.
2. Re-enable debugger in PyShell.
3. Remove old code implementing previous approaches to this issue.

distutils now looks for the compiler version in sys.version, falling
back to MSVC 6 if the version isn't listed (Python 2.2 and lower).
Add helper routines for reading the registry. Refactor many
module functions into methods of the compiler to avoid passing
lots of state as arguments.
honor them). Use this when building the MacOSX binary installer to
get group-writeable files.
Ths fix works for directories and executables, not for files just yet,
because of bug #735274.
is now interruptable on Windows.
2. Tweak signal.signal() wait parameters as called by various methods
to improve I/O response, especially on Windows.
3. Debugger is disabled at this check-in pending further development.

After removing that, two testers on machines where C: is not the system
drive reported that the installer suggested their system drive instead
of C:, and that's what they wanted it to do.
add dedent() function, to remove indentation from multiline strings
(eg. triple-quoted strings). Differs from inspect.getdoc() by not
special-casing the first line (often a sensible approach for
non-docstring multiline strings). This should make this function more
general (symmetric 'indent' also possible), and more fitting for the
textwrap module.
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way:
- Use a class new method rather than a new function.
- Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators
- Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods.
- Make the type usable as a base type.
I split the example into 3 parts:
1. The minimal new type
2. Adding attributes and methods.
3. Finer control over attributes.
It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully
show this.
I also made minor wording changes in two other places.
I still need to update xxobject.c
