[Patch 988444]
Read multiple special headers
- fixed/improved handling of extended/special headers
in read-mode (adding new extended headers should be
less painful now).
- improved nts() function.
- removed TarFile.chunks datastructure which is not
(and was never) needed.
- fixed TarInfo.tobuf(), fields could overflow with too
large values, values are now clipped.
Change some declarations from ``char *`` to ``const char *``. Also added
docstrings for decode and encode; accidentally were left out of the PyMethodDev
table.
[Patch #945642] Fix non-blocking SSL sockets, which blocked on reads/writes in Python 2.3.
(It turns out that the Debian unstable packaging of Python 2.3.4 includes this patch.)
Patch by Tino Lange.
Make struct formats for specifying file size to be unsigned instead of signed
(ZIP file spec. says in section K, "General notes" in point 1 that unless
specified otherwise values are unsigned and they are not specified as signed in
the spec).
* Rename "trap_enablers" to just "traps".
* Simplify names of "settraps" and "setflags" to just "traps" and "flags".
* Show "capitals" in the context representation
* Simplify the Context constructor to match its repr form so that only
the set flags and traps need to be listed.
* Representation can now be run through eval().
Improve the error message when the Decimal constructor is given a float.
The test suite no longer needs a duplicate reset_flags method.
Restructure testing of .pth files. Move previous functions into a class and
create a testing method that can be called to make sure that the handling of
the .pth file was correct.
Add an #ifdef __APPLE__ around typedef of foreachfunc to match Apple's
incorrect declaration for ypall_callback in /usr/include/rpcsvc/ypcInt.h .
Shouldn't hurt any code since the differences are unsigned long instead of int and
void * instead of char *. Removes warning about improper function pointer
assignment during compilation.
Change argument list for addsitedir() to not require a second argument and thus
match old verion's argument list (overlooked since API of the file is
undocumented).
* Update the test suite to reflect that ConversionSyntax was no longer
public.
* Removed the non-signal conditions from __all__.
* Removed the XXX comment which was resolved.
* Use ^ instead of operator.xor
* Remove the threading lock which is no longer necessary.
Module and tests:
* Map conditions to related signals.
* Make contexts unhashable.
* Eliminate used "default" attribute in exception definitions.
* Eliminate the _filterfunc in favor of a straight list.
Docs:
* Eliminate documented references to conditions that are not signals.
* Eliminate parenthetical notes such as "1/0 --> Inf" which are no
longer true with the new defaults.
Allow string and unicode return types from .encode()/.decode()
methods on string and unicode objects. Added unicode.decode()
which was missing for no apparent reason.

Deal with macros that have to be replaced with simple text; only a
couple of these are currently found in index data, but these should
all be handled in the same way.
[Bug #925107] Make .readline() consider self.stop. This makes read() and readline() very similar, so they're refactored into _read. Patch by Johannes Gijsbers.
2.3 bugfix candidate.

Fix SF#983164.
Patch from Mark Hammond:
bdist_wininst attempts to use the correct MSVC runtime for the current
version of Python. This doesn't work correctly when --target-version
is set. In that case, bdist_wininst still uses the *current*
sys.version (ie, 2.4) rather than the version specified as
--target-version. Thus, the msvc7 runtime based executable stub is
*always* used.
This patch "hard-codes" knowledge of earlier Python versions,
providing the correct result when Python 2.4 is used to build Python
2.3 and earlier distributions.
Remove the short variant (-v) of the --target-version command line
options, it conflicts with the --verbose/-v standard distutils switch.
