FreeBSD's services file contains an additional echo service entry, with
a non-standard protocol and on a lower port than the tcp/udp entries,
which breaks the assumption that there will only be one service by a
given name on a given port when no protocol is specified.
Previous versions of this code have had other problems as a result of
different service definitions amongst common platforms. As this platform
has an extra, unexpected, service entry, I've special cased the platform
rather than re-order the list of services checked to highlight the pitfall.

Bug #788520: Queue class has logic error when non-blocking
I don't agree it had a bug (see the report), so this is *not* a candidate
for backporting, but the docs were confusing and the Queue implementation
was old enough to vote.
Rewrote put/put_nowait/get/get_nowait from scratch, to use a pair of
Conditions (not_full and not_empty), sharing a common mutex. The code
is 1/4 the size now, and 6.25x easier to understand. For blocking
with timeout, we also get to reuse (indirectly) the tedious timeout
code from threading.Condition. The Full and Empty exceptions raised
by non-blocking calls are now easy (instead of nearly impossible) to
explain truthfully: Full is raised if and only if the Queue truly
is full when the non-blocking put call checks the queue size, and
similarly for Empty versus non-blocking get.
What I don't know is whether the new implementation is slower (or
faster) than the old one. I don't really care. Anyone who cares
a lot is encouraged to check that.

SF patch 986010: add missing doc for datetime C API, from
Anthony Tuininga.
This is a derived patch, taking the opportunity to add some organization
to the now-large pile of datetime-related macros, and to factor out
tedious repeated text.
[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.
