This change implements a new bytecode compiler, based on a
transformation of the parse tree to an abstract syntax defined in
Parser/Python.asdl.
The compiler implementation is not complete, but it is in stable
enough shape to run the entire test suite excepting two disabled
tests.
bit by checking the value of UCHAR_MAX in Include/Python.h. There was a
check in Objects/stringobject.c. Remove that. (Note that we don't define
UCHAR_MAX if it's not defined as the old test did.)
* Install the unittests, docs, newsitem, include file, and makefile update.
* Exercise the new functions whereever sets.py was being used.
Includes the docs for libfuncs.tex. Separate docs for the types are
forthcoming.
This gets compilation of posixmodule.c to succeed on Tru64 and does no
harm on Linux. We may need to undefine it on some platforms, but
let's wait and see.

This patch complies with the following request found
near the top of configure.in:
# This is for stuff that absolutely must end up in pyconfig.h.
# Please use pyport.h instead, if possible.
I tested this patch under Cygwin, Win32, and Red
Hat Linux. Python built and ran successfully on
each of these platforms.

PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.
Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.
