Make object browser work in OSX (by rewriting the old browser
LDEF in Python). If at all possible, this should go into 2.2.1.
Use the Carbon scrap manager interface if the old interface isn't available.

revision 1.58 of pickle.py
Fix for SF 502085.
Don't die when issubclass(t, TypeType) fails.
Bugfix candidate (but I think it's too late for 2.2.1).
This closes SF bug #520904.
Explain that many of the escapes supported by string literals are also
supported by the RE compiler, and list which ones.
This closes SF bug #529923.
revision 1.211 of socketmodule.c
Due to interaction between the MSL C library and the GUSI I/O library I can get reads from sockets to work consistently either for unbuffered binary files or for buffered binary files, but not for both:-(
The workaround is to force socket.makefile() to disable buffering for binary files.
Fixes bug 534625. 2.2.1 candidate.
revision 1.14 of netrc.py
[Bug #532115] netrc module was broken
* 'macdef' (macro definition) wasn't parsed correctly
* account value not reset for a subsequent 'default' line
* typo: 'whitepace' -> 'whitespace'
Bugfix candidate.
revision 2.55 of complexobject.c
SF bug 533198: Complex power underflow raises exception.
Konrad was too kind. Not only did it raise an exception, the specific
exception it raised made no sense. These are old bugs in complex_pow()
and friends:
1. Raising 0 to a negative power isn't a range error, it's a domain
error, so changed c_pow() to set errno to EDOM in that case instead
of ERANGE.
2. Changed complex_pow() to:
A. Used the Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2 macro to try to clear errno of a spurious
ERANGE error due to underflow in the libm pow() called by c_pow().
B. Produced different exceptions depending on the errno value:
i) For errno==EDOM, raise ZeroDivisionError instead of ValueError.
This is for consistency with the non-complex cases 0.0**-2 and
0**-2 and 0L**-2.
ii) For errno==ERANGE, raise OverflowError.
Bugfix candidate.
