3f56166b1a Rip out the fancy behaviors of xrange that nobody uses: repeat, slice,
contains, tolist(), and the start/stop/step attributes.  This includes
removing the 4th ('repeat') argument to PyRange_New().

4efb6e9643 Turns out Neil didn't intend for *all* of his gen-branch work to get
committed.

tokenize.py:  I like these changes, and have tested them extensively
without even realizing it, so I just updated the docstring and the docs.

tabnanny.py:  Also liked this, but did a little code fiddling.  I should
really rewrite this to *exploit* generators, but that's near the bottom
of my effort/benefit scale so doubt I'll get to it anytime soon (it
would be most useful as a non-trivial example of ideal use of generators;
but test_generators.py has already grown plenty of food-for-thought
examples).

inspect.py:  I'm sure Ping intended for this to continue running even
under 1.5.2, so I reverted this to the last pre-gen-branch version.  The
"bugfix" I checked in in-between was actually repairing a bug *introduced*
by the conversion to generators, so it's OK that the reverted version
doesn't reflect that checkin.

58c95391fa Removed some stray periods, and fix up a number of visible markup
consistency errors (mostly omitted "()" at the end of function and
method names).

9f9bd6af78 Simplify an example based on comment from Thomas Holenstein <thomas@hex.ch>:
Do not use an extra flag variable to test only once in one subsequent if
statement.

f66cb5d0eb Corrected an error in the information on supporting weak references in
extension types (the docs reflected a development version of the API).

6016e39250 Document the new encodestring() and decodestring() functions. Also,
add some description of what the quotetabs argument does for the
encode*() functions.  Finally, add a "see also" pointing to the base64
module.

4a6c5c568f Fixed reference to table notes for {}.keys() and {}.items() -- these
references did not get updated when the notes were renumbered in a
previous update.

This fixes SF bug #432208.

7a3bfc3a47 Added q/Q standard (x-platform 8-byte ints) mode in struct module.
This completes the q/Q project.

longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray:  The original code had a gross bug:
the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT
significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign
bit it has else spurious overflow errors result.

test_struct.py:  This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both
sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative.

NEWS:  Added brief dict news while I was at it.

0b9bc20e66 Add the appropriate availability annotations for the popen*() family of
functions -- these are not available on traditional Mac OS platforms.

Corrected the version annotations for the spawn*() functions and related
constants; these were added in Python 1.6, not 1.5.2.
