where their capabilities intersect. Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).
[ #510644 ] test_curses segfaults
If we use the *object* *allocator*, we should use the *object* *deallocator*,
not the *raw memory* deallocator (confused yet?).
I think this was what caused segfaults when pymalloc was enabled.
Even if it wasn't the cause, it's still wrong.
2.2.1 candidate.
[ #504284 ] Last build problems on AIX
I'm ignoring the suggestion that this should be an autoconf test in the
interests of having a fix today. Feel free to quibble.
new.instancemethod() -- the instancemethod object is now a perfectly
general container.
This fixes SF bug ##503091 (Pedro Rodriquez): new.instancemethod fails
for new classes
This is a 2.2.1 candidate.
Patch from Mark Hammond, plus code rearrangement and comments from me.
posix_do_stat(): Windows-specific code could try to free() stack
memory in some cases when a path ending with a forward or backward slash
was passed to os.stat().
metaclass, reported by Dan Parisien.
Objects that are instances of custom metaclasses, i.e. whose ob_type
is a subclass of PyType_Type, should be pickled the same as new-style
classes (objects whose ob_type is PyType_Type). This can't be done
through the existing dispatch switches, and the __reduce__ trick
doesn't work for these, since it finds the unbound __reduce__ for
instances of the class (inherited from PyBaseObject_Type). So check
explicitly using PyType_IsSubtype().
