83eeef4b06 SF patch #461781 by Chris Lawrence: os.path.realpath - Resolve symlinks: 
Once upon a time, I put together a little function
   that tries to find the canonical filename for a given
   pathname on POSIX. I've finally gotten around to
   turning it into a proper patch with documentation.
   On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as
   that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are
   encountered in the path.

   Example:
   >>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X')
   '/usr/X11R6/bin/X'

f7fcf5eea6 SF patch #461413 (Gerhard Häring): Add STARTTLS feature to smtplib 
This patch adds the features from RFC 2487 (Secure SMTP
   over TLS) to the smtplib module:

   - A starttls() function
   - Wrapper classes that simulate enough of sockets and
     files for smtplib, but really wrap a SSLObject
   - reset the list of known SMTP extensions at each call
     of ehlo(). This should have been the case anyway.

b9a96282f1 Admit that we'll never add the args for a "call" event to the profile 
and trace functions; this now declares that None will be passed for the
"call" event.

b86677079d Move the long minidom example to a separate file; \verbatiminput does the 
right thing with page breaks in long examples, while the verbatim
environment does not.  This causes the example to wrap to the next page
instead of overwriting the page footer and bottom margin.

5ef99a0bc5 Describe the new semantics for setting and deleting a function's 
__dict__ attribute.  Deleting it, or setting it to a non-dictionary
result in a TypeError.  Note that getting it the first time magically
initializes it to an empty dict so that func.__dict__ will always
appear to be a dictionary (never None).
