calculate it on the fly. This way even modules with long package
names get an accurate repr instead of a truncated one. The extra
malloc/free cost shouldn't be a problem in a repr function.
Closes SF bug #437984
+ test_compare. While None compares less than anything else, it's not
always the case that None has the smallest id().
+ test_descr. The output of %p (pointer) formats varies across platforms.
In particular, on Windows it doesn't produce a leading "0x".
the "#ifdef MS_WINDOWS" to "#ifdef SELECT_USES_HEAP" and by
setting SELECT_USES_HEAP when FD_SETSIZE > 1024.
The indirection seems useful since this subtly changes the path
that "normal" Windows programs take (where Timmie sez FD_SETSIZE =
512). If that's a problem for Windows, he has only one place to
change.
parameter, but did not. This was found because it can create failures
elsewhere based on the presence of mime.types files in some common locations
the module searches by default.
(I will be writing a test for this module shortly!)
optimization for dynamic classes. If __getattr__ is not found as an
attribute on the type, slot_tp_getattro replaces itself with
PyObject_GenericGetAttr. This means you can't add a __getattr__
method to a class after the fact -- but you can still *change* a
__getattr__ method into a different one.
(A similar restriction exists for classic classes.)
